Over 50 people attended a luncheon fundraiser organized by Mick Jensen and Chairman John Orr for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Deb Fischer held at Fernando’s in Blair, NE on Friday, June 29. Many of those in attendance indicated a higher level of urgency and enthusiasm to get Deb Fischer elected to the U.S. Senate in light of the Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare.

With the Supreme Court approving the largest tax-hike in the history of the world, Obama and the Democrats are relieved, Ben Nelson says he feels vindicated and Bob Kerrey can’t wait to start implementing Obamacare. We need to really knuckle down and work hard to elect Republicans like Deb Fischer and Mitt Romney. Let’s all do what we can with volunteering time or donating money to get elected those that will repeal Obamacare.
Justice Roberts wrote in his opinion yesterday:
“We do not consider whether the Act embodies sound policies. That judgment is entrusted to the Nation’s elected leaders.â€
“Members of this Court are vested with the authority to interpret the law; we possess neither the expertise nor the prerogative to make policy judgments. Those decisions are entrusted to our Nation’s elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. It is not our job to protect the people from the consequences of their political choices.â€
