The implementation of the 965-page Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), with its obscured and expandable powers, is one of the most looming threats upon a free people. Governor Mitt Romney expressed the sentiments of patriotic Americans when he pledged on the campaign trail "If elected, I will repeal Obamacare on day one". But now we must use other options to protect ourselves.

Whereas the NC GOP Platform states in Article X.10 “Wise health choices are best made by individuals guided by sound medical opinion. We urge Congress to repeal the federally mandated ‘Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act’”.

Whereas the NC GOP Platform states in Article X.12: “We call on Congress, the President, the courts and the state to abide by Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution and the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. We oppose encroachments upon all rights which the Constitution has reserved to the states or to the people”;

Whereas Obamacare was ruled a tax and Article II of the NC GOP Platform states “Government should not use the tax system to control our behavior, steer our choices or change the way we live our lives”;

Whereas other States are nullifying Obamacare:

Tennessee Governor Haslam will not be setting up an Obamacare Insurance Exchange and there is no funding appropriated for it.Alabama voters approved Amendment 6 to their state Constitution to “prohibit any person, employer, or health care provider from being compelled to participate in any health care system.”Montana voters approved an act prohibiting the State or Federal government from being able to force anyone to buy health insurance and prohibits any penalties from being levied on anyone who chooses not to purchase health insurance. Wyoming passed a measure that states, “No federal or state law, rule or administrative decision shall compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer or health care provider to participate in any health care system.”

Whereas Thomas Jefferson, America’s champion of liberty and author of the Declaration of Independence declared "Whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers....a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy."

Therefore, we, the undersigned voters of North Carolina call upon Governor Pat McCrory to make every effort to nullify and oppose the implementation of Obamacare in North Carolina, beginning with refusing to allow a State insurance exchange, and vetoing any funding for one.
