Only 30 GOP House members sign letter asking Boehner and Cantor to defund ObamaCare. The democrats will have no problem taking back the House in 2014.

3/5/13, "30 Republicans Ask Boehner, Cantor to Defund Obamacare," Breitbart, Matthew Boyle

"Thirty Republicans have signed onto a letter drafted by GOP Reps. Jim Bridenstine (OK) and Tim Huelskamp (KS) asking House Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor to defund Obamacare in the upcoming Continuing Resolution....

The full list of signers, according to Bridenstine’s office, is as follows:

Rep. Justin Amash, Michigan
Rep. Andy Barr, Kentucky
Rep. Diane Black, Tennessee
Rep. Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee

===========================================

Update, 3/6/13, now it turns out only about half of these actually voted to defund ObamaCare:

3/6/13, "The CR Vote Tally: Courage in the Senate; Capitulation in the House," Daniel Horowitz, RedState

"The House voted overwhelmingly to pass the CR today which failed to cut one cent from Obamacare. 30 members signed the Bridenstine-Huelskamp letter asking leadership to defund Obamacare through the CR. 16 members voted against the rule to bring up the CR, some of which hadn’t signed the letter. Only 14 members voted against the CR. In other words, several members took the drastic step of opposing a rule, yet voted for the bill. All this confusion is above my pay grade. 
 

Nonetheless, here is the tally:
 

30 signers of March 4, 2013 Letter from Bridenstine and Huelskamp to Boehner and Cantor Urging Defunding of Obamacare in Any Appropriations Bill: (link)

16 Voting “No” on the Rule for Continuing Resolution,
HR 933, 3/6/2013 (link)

14 Voting “No” on Passage of the Continuing Resolution , HR 933, 3/6/2013 (link)

"
Now the CR moves on to the Senate.  Ted Cruz and Mike Lee have taken up the campaign to defund Obamacare, as noted in these pages."...
