Statement: IWV Congratulates ObamaCare Repeal Pledge Signer Tom Cotton

(Washington D.C.) – Following Tom Cotton’s Republican primary victory in the Arkansas GOP primary for US Senate, Independent Women’s Voice President and CEO Heather R. Higgins released the following statement: “On behalf of Independent Women's Voice, I want to congratulate Tom Cotton on his victory in the Arkansas GOP primary for US Senate. Mr. Cotton's decision to sign the IWV's Repeal Pledge shows he understands that one of the chief manifestations of the real 'War on Women' is government-controlled health care in the form of ObamaCare. Signing the pledge shows that, when it comes to health care, he gets what Mr. Pryor who has not not signed the pledge does not -- he understands that ObamaCare is a government infringement on our constitutional liberties and she knows that it will lead to bigger government and less freedom."  The Repeal Pledge advocates not just repeal, but defunding, deauthorizing, and dismantling the misleadingly-titled Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, enacted in early 2010. The Repeal Pledge was designed as a litmus test to help the American public understand which candidates and office holders are serious about repeal, versus those who claim to be but won't actually take action. Signers of the Repeal Pledge believe that this law cannot be "fixed" and that stopping its implementation and ultimately repealing it are necessary first steps to ensure that citizens and their doctors, not government bureaucrats, have choice and control over their health care, and that medical care in our country becomes more affordable and available. kjkj adfad For more information on The Repeal Pledge, including a complete list of signers, please visit TheRepealPledge.com. dfadfaFor interviews with Heather Higgins or other spokeswomen of Independent Women's Voice, please contact Victoria Coley at victoria.coley@iwvoice.org. dfafIndependent Women's Voice is the creator of:adfaObamaCare Repeal Pledge No Washington Exemption  MyCancellation.comReal Life of Julia's Policy Health Reform QuestionsObamaCare Timeout Petitionadfa Independent Women’s Voice is a 501 (c) (4) nonpartisan, nonprofit organization for mainstream women, men and families.  IWV is an affiliate organization of the Independent Women’s Forum.
