Rep. Neugebauer (TX) on Obamacare and States Energy

Open Email to. Neugebauer (TX):

Dear Rep. Neugebauer,
    I have read your newsletter.

OBAMACARE    You cosponsored a bill, which allows insurance providers to continue to offer existing health plans through 2014 so families don’t have to face immediate cancellation.
    Good political move! You will go on record with the public as being favorable toward the public being able to keep its existing health insurance. However, you likely know that it has no practical application. Insurance companies have already canceled millions of policies, and their is no practical way to reinstate them. In addition, Pres. Obama has threatened to veto the bill.

STATES RIGHTS ON ENERGY
    This week you will be voting on H.R. 2728, Protecting States Rights to Promote American Energy Security Act.  This is commonsense legislation that gives states that already regulate hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, the right to continue doing so. This includes Texas.
    Again, nice political move, but in this case I don't think the public really cares. In addition, it seems highly unlikely that you will ever get the Senate to cooperate, because of its big government philosophy, and Obama is bound to veto it. Perhaps your best bet is to continue to degrade the public acceptance of Obama and the Democrats because of the healthcare fiasco. If this is pushed hard enough it may be effective in being able to get Republican control in the Senate in the November '14 election. We are already starting to see some of the Democrats in panic on holding their jobs.
