The Florida Health Care Freedom Act, HJR 37, is stalled in the Rules and Calender Council (it’s final committee stop before a floor vote). This bill will protect Floridians from the ObamaCare mandate! It is also very important for States Rights reasons as well. Rep. Bill Galvano, chairman of the Rules and Calender Council offered an amendment that would change the bill so it would only protect us from a STATE mandate!

The oringinal bill protects us from both! Please call the members of the Rules and Calender Council listed below (and your own legislator) and tell them “No” on the Galvano Amendment and we want them to support Rep. Plakon’s original language. HJR37 is a Constitutional Amendment and would require the voters of Florida to approve it in November. We deserve the freedom to choose. There are only two weeks left in session so we don’t have much time. We need to act now! It’s time for the Tea Party and 9-12 groups to flex our muscle, get this bill to the floor for a vote, and on the ballot in November. Please forward this to everyone you know.

Bill Galvano (chair) - 850-488-4086

Baxter Troutman - 850-488-9465
Will Weatherford - 850-488-5744

Talking points:
There are two weeks left in session, we need this bill out of the Rules and Calender Council and on to the floor for a vote so the people of Florida can decide for themselves in November.

We are NOT happy with the Galvano Amendment; we want Rep. Plakon’s original language.

This is the single most important piece of state legislation for the Tea Party and 9-12 groups and we will remember this vote in November.

Remember: HJR 37 is a Constitutional Amendment and the people of Florida will decide for themselves if they want Health Care Freedom in November. We deserve a chance to vote on this. Remember: be POLITE but FIRM.

Please send this to everyone and call every member of Rules, PLUS your own Representative.
