Congressman Jones did not answer the heart of the question, which was “what are you doing to defund the $105 billion already funded in the Obamacare Law?”

Dear Mr. Lang:

Thank you for contacting me about the funding of Obamacare in the Continuing Resolution (CR).  I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and I am happy to respond.

Let me be clear: I strongly opposed and voted against Obamacare.  I support its repeal and have cosponsored every bill introduced that would do that.  I have joined many of my colleagues in filing multiple amicus briefs in support of several states’ efforts to overturn the law in court on constitutional grounds.  I also strongly support cutting off funding for implementation of Obamacare, and have voted accordingly; this includes my vote against the most recent continuing resolution to fund the government, because it did not, among other things, cut off all funding for Obamacare.

Please rest assured that I will be vigilant in supporting all efforts to repeal, block or cut off funding for this government takeover of our health care system.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on this critical issue. If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Walter B. Jones
Member of Congress
