===========================================
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."...
