Hartzler: We aren't stuck with this tragic mistake

Fourth District Republican Congressional candidate issued the following response following the passage of the health care bill tonight:

Republican Vicky Hartzler, seeking the nomination to challenge Democrat Rep. Ike Skelton, today addressed the narrow and wholly party-line passage of the President’s government takeover plan for America’s health care.
Hartzler said: “If we weren’t free and self-governing people, we would be stuck with this destructive left turn into more deficits and deeper insolvency, the loss of so much health care freedom, and the waste and ineffectiveness associated with ‘made in Washington.’ But we aren’t stuck with this tragic mistake by liberal Washington. The polls will be open this fall! I think people are winding up to send a very strong message to reckless and liberal Washington, and write them a brand new set of orders.
“If America delivers a ringing vote for change, the new Congress can begin rolling back this tragedy immediately. I would be honored and proud to help restore the best health care in the world. I will stand up to Nancy Pelosi and her radical agenda across the board. Mr. Skelton has fallen into voting with ‘San Francisco Nancy’ more than 90 percent of the time.
“My opponent will be saying that he voted ‘no’ today. But he voted ‘yes’ only three days ago, to help Pelosi get this bad thing accomplished on her terms and timetable. On Thursday, he and Pelosi joined hands to block a bipartisan conservative effort to keep ObamaCare off the House floor. The conservative goal was to set a roadblock for the Pelosi-run Rules Committee.
