Numerous petitions and motions
have been filed. For a chronology, see the log of actions
and orders, case filings, and other information pertaining to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act cases at the Supreme Court website.
Several other cases remain in the district courts and circuit court of appeals. For a comprehensive review of all the cases and current status,
we have provided a link to Kaiser Health News which provides an excellent summary and status of all cases.
With the Democrat party in charge of the US Senate, a legislative repeal is nearly impossible despite the best efforts of the Republican led US House. Only after the election of
2012 with the election of a Republican senate, including a second Republican US Senator from Pennsylvania, will a legislative remedy be possible in 2013.
For other recent actions, please visit our "Health Care Repeal Update" page to track recent actions for your reference.
NCRC Events Calandar for 2012 is now posted
The 2012 election cycle is in progress. In 2012, we will elect a new President, retire Bob Casey from the US Senate, elect members to
the US House of Representatives, the state legislature and other statewide offices.
This coming election year is a crucial referendum on the direction of this country. The Democrat Party took took complete control of our
federal government in the 2008 election year. In the two years that they were in complete control we are now suffering the consequences
of their agenda - push for higher taxes, a socialist, entitlement based legislative agenda which gave us 'Obamacare', and a further weakening
of our stature in the world.
We need to turn this trend around. In 2010 we regained control of the US House of Representatives with high expectations that we would
halt the democrat agenda. It was a major rebuke for the Democrats. The Republican House passed numerous pieces of legistation to match the mandate
of the voters. Each piece of legislation was blocked by the Democrat Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, in the US Senate and threatened
for veto by President Obama.
We must regain the presidency, the majority in US Senate, maintain our majority in the US House, and control in the PA State Legislature. Therefore,
we need everyone engaged this coming year to support our candidates, participate in the process, and vote!

Your Voice and Vote Counted! Join us!
In the 2010 election at the federal and state level and in the election of 2009 at the county level, the voters of the country, state, and this
county clearly indicated that they did not like the policies, actions, and results of the then elected officials. Many companies and government agencies have quality
inspectors and auditors who have the power to stop bad practices. You the voter were and are the "quality" inspectors and auditors of good government. Your assessment was
these elected officials were not listening to the voice of the people.
Since 2006, the Democrat Party controlled both houses of Congress. They chose to ignore the Bush administration warnings on subprime loan practices; they decided that it
was in their best interest to pass "Obamacare"; push the DISCLOSE act, pass the DADT repeal, cap and trade legislation; and ignore for two years the economy, run-away
spending and the extension of the
2001 and 2003 tax reductions. All these measures expanding the control of the federal government over the states and most importantly, the people.
And now that they lost the election of 2010, they are and will be pursuing the politics of class warfare over taxes and job benefits while refusing to cut spending and fund necessary legislation in the "lame-duck"
session.
You have given the Republican party at all levels the responsibility to cleanup the mess of the past four years of Congressional rule by the
Democrat party. We need your voice to continue to be heard today, tomorrow, and in the next election cycle.
If you are an Independent or a disappointed Democrat, we would like you to join us and have your voice be heard within the party.
By registering as a Republican, you will have a voice to pick Republican candidates in the spring primary election that represent your views on issues and
good government.
To join us, use the
Voter Registration link
on this page and return it to your voter registration office. If you have never voted because you thought your vote did not mean anything,
we ask you think about what can happen when people do vote for a "real" change in government as in these past two elections.
And let your voice be heard!
