Missouri GOP commends Kinder on health care action

Naturally, the Missouri Republican Party is thrilled with the action taken by Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder against the federal health care bill. The following news release was issued this morning:

Lloyd Smith, Executive Director of the Missouri Republican Party, released the following statement commending Lt. Governor Peter Kinder for his legal action on behalf of Missourians against the federal government’s health care bill:


“Missouri Republicans have been at the forefront of protecting state sovereignty from the federal government’s onslaught of onerous regulations and mandates. Thanks to the General Assembly, Missouri voters will be the first in the nation to go to the polls and make their voice heard against the Obama-Pelosi-Reid health care bill. And now, Lt. Governor Peter Kinder has taken legal action, alleging that the health care bill violates the rights of Missourians from all walks of life.

“We commend Lt. Governor Kinder and the plaintiffs of this constitutional challenge for their diligent work to protect Missourians and our great state from the worst parts of the federal health care bill—and for doing so at no cost to taxpayers.”
