Missouri State Rep. Mike Moon (R-Ash Grove) invoked language from the Declaration of Independence in a state House resolution to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is not having any of it.
In a resolution calling on the Missouri congressional delegation — which includes McCaskill, eight U.S. House members and one other U.S. senator — to “endeavor with ‘manly firmness’ and resolve to totally and completely repeal the Affordable Care Act, settling for no less than a full repeal,” Moon borrowed from the portion of the Declaration of Independence airing grievances against King George III.
