Statement

Date: Sept. 20, 2013
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health Insurance Government Budget and Spending

Today, U.S. Congressman Roger Williams (TX-25) made the following statement following passage of a Continuing Resolution (CR) that defunds the President's healthcare law.

"This is a vote that Americans have been asking for. By keeping the government funded, defunding ObamaCare, and making good on our nation's bills, families and businesses across America can rest assured that their taxpayer dollars are being spent in a responsible manner. I applaud House leadership and my colleagues for standing strong. The will of the American people cannot be overshadowed by the President and Senate's threats to veto and throw out this important legislation. I hope Harry Reid brings this bill to the Senate floor quickly."
