Washington, D.C. 20500

Dear Mr. President:

For seven long years, we have been suffering from the rising costs of
Obamacare.
Empower Texans
To our dismay, the repeal and replace plan put forward by U.S. House
Speaker Paul Ryan did nothing to address the core regulatory
infrastructure of Obamacare, which means that American families would
still see health care costs continue to rise until at least 2026. This is
unacceptable.

Grassroots conservatives worked tirelessly to give Republicans the House,

the Senate, and you, Sir, the Presidency. They did so based upon several
promises a major promise being the full repeal of Obamacare. AHCA
doesn't fulfill that promise.

In opposing the AHCA, the House Freedom Caucus was doing what their
supporters and constituents hired them at the ballot box to do to fully
repeal Obamacare, get the federal government out of our health care,
and put us on a path to a more affordable, free market-based, patient-
centered health care system.

With a bad take it or leave it bill on the table, the Freedom Caucus
rightly believed they had a responsibility to protect both the GOP and the
Trump Administration from the political fallout that would surely come in
2018 and 2020 when angry voters realized their healthcare costs did not
go down and health care access did not improve. The Freedom Caucus
had the promises they made back home and the long-term good of the
American people on their minds and in their hearts when they opposed
the AHCA.

This is what we sent those members of Congress to D.C. to do.

Mr. President, the Freedom Caucus is not the problem the D.C. Swamp
from whence this retain and reform bill came from is the problem.

You, the Freedom Caucus, and Senate conservatives are the most
dedicated to draining the DC Swamp. For this reason, we urge you to
work with, and ally with, the House Freedom Caucus, not actively attack
it, and undermine it. They and Senate conservatives are speaking for so
many of us who labor in the constitutional conservative trenches every
day.
We, the House Freedom Caucus, and Senate conservatives, are your
greatest allies should you sincerely aim to end the decades of Big
Government cronyism in D.C.

Mr. President, Texas grassroots conservatives are praying for your

success as you work to rebuild our nation. Lets do it together.

Respectfully,
