Project Liberty Files Brief Against Health Plan

TYLER — East Texas is strongly represented in a national group of 295 citizens who object to the new federal health plan, and filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court this week. Project Liberty says the brief was filed “on the grounds it forces them to fund the killing of children in the womb (abortion and abortion-inducing drugs), thus violating their religious liberty.” The case is scheduled for arguments before the high court in March and is expected to be decided in June. Project Liberty asks the Supreme Court to strike down the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, currently before the Supreme Court on appeal.

JoAnn Fleming of Smith County is executive director of Grassroots America – We the People and the major organizer of Project Liberty. Fleming says, “From the day the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was pushed through by Congress – over the objections of the American People – we knew we had to do all we could to fight it. I believe the Act to be thoroughly unconstitutional.”
