Tea Party leaders met with state Attorney General Gary King today to try to convince him to file a lawsuit against the federal government to repeal health care reform legislation that passed Congress and was signed by President Barack Obama earlier this year.
The Santa Fe Reporter “just popped in for a minute to snap a photo” of the meeting.
King, the Reporter wrote, “listened with practiced expressionlessness. Or perhaps bewilderment.”
So far, 21 states have filed suit in an attempt to repeal the health care reform bill. The administration of Barack Obama responded to the a lawsuit earlier today. This lawsuit was filed by the conservative Thomas More Law Center in Michigan.
You can see the petition the tea partiers gave to King here. In it, the tea partiers say that a ” a new universal healthcare regime” was signed into law on March 23.
