Four Republicans Jumped Ship

Dec 19, 2025

Discharge petition will bypass Speaker Johnson

Just as we warned, this week four Republicans in the U.S. House broke ranks and sided with Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), forcing a vote to fund the failed Obamacare. This triggers a Discharge Petition over the objection of Republican Majority Leader Mike Johnson (LA) The goal? To keep funding the Obamacare debacle as is — with abortion and “trans” procedures included and with the unbelievable level of waste that fills the coffers of insurance companies, drives up costs, and plunges our nation deeper into debt.

The pressure campaign is working — unfortunately it’s coming from the wrong side.

Behind closed doors, intense negotiations are happening on Capitol Hill. The vote could happen at any moment. And unless members of Congress hear from you, they will default to the loudest voices demanding more spending, more mandates, and more taxpayer-funded medical abuses.

America deserves better. We deserve freedom, not federal mismanagement. We deserve a system that protects life, not one that subsidizes abortion and trans procedures.

Your voice is essential in this critical hour — make it heard now!

The contrast could not be clearer between the Republican and Democrat plans. The Congressional Budget Office found that the Republican health care plan would save 35 billion dollars and lower Obamacare premiums by 11%. That means real relief for families who have been crushed by years of rising costs and shrinking choices.

Democrats have responded with a blunt ultimatum: Any plan that does not pay for abortion is a “non-starter.” The four Republicans who caved to this vote were Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Robert Bresnahan (R-PA), Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA), and Mike Lawler (R-NY).

That is the battlefield. They won’t move forward unless you are paying to murder children!

This is no longer a debate about efficiency or access. This is a moral line in the sand. One side is demanding taxpayers be forced to subsidize abortion and medical mutilation. The other is trying to provide better health care and more choices that protect life.

And time is running out.

We must move Congress toward REAL medical freedom. Urge Congress to support a Health Savings Account (HSA) option that bans abortion or “trans” coverage.

The Republican proposal ends the Obamacare subsidies. This plan empowers individuals through HSAs — putting people back in charge of their own health care decisions instead of Washington bureaucrats. The plan also allows small businesses to band together to offer better, more affordable insurance options to their employees.

Both approaches end centralized control, restore patient choice, and block abortion and “trans” coverage.

Premiums have skyrocketed under Obamacare. Bureaucracy has exploded. Democrats are demanding MORE money for this broken system — without reform, without conscience protections, and without limits.

Send your faxes to Congress right now. Your voice could determine whether America takes a step toward freedom — or slides deeper into coercion and moral compromise.

And now, the fight has reached a boiling point. Demand that Congress stop Obamacare from funding abortion and the “trans” agenda.
