On January 12, the House of Representatives will vote to repeal the unprecedented centralization of power, massive increase in spending, and disquieting affront to liberty known as Obamacare.

Deaf to the American people’s wishes, and speaking mostly in a uniform voice, the chorus of mainstream media insists on calling this a “symbolic” vote. But when the most representative chamber of the United States Congress reflects the desires of the vast majority of Americans and passes formal legislation to do something – or to undo something – such action is the opposite of symbolic.  In fact, nothing could be much more substantive.
