Two years after liberal U.S. Congressman Martin Heinrich voted for President Barack Obama’s massive healthcare bill, the Supreme Court ruled the individual mandate is a tax. Democrats including White House Chief Staff Jacob Lew and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi were quick to praise the ruling, yet they’re claiming the individual mandate is not a tax. Click Here To Watch CHRIS WALLACE: “But according to the Supreme Court, this is going to raise taxes for those families.” WHITE HOUSE COS JACOB LEW: “No, that’s not what the Supreme Court said. What the Supreme Court said was this was constitutional, they said it didn’t matter what Congress called it. There’s a penalty for the one percent who choose not to buy insurance.” CHRIS WALLACE: “No, wait a minute sir.

Supreme Court Upholds Martin Heinrich’s Massive Tax Increase & Medicare Cuts On New Mexico Seniors
Decision Sets The Stakes For November’s Election Two years after liberal U.S. Congressman Martin Heinrich voted for the massive health care bill, the Supreme Court today has affirmed Heinrich’s decision to put the Democrats’ far-left agenda ahead of New Mexico seniors and small businesses. In doing so, the Court has made clear what is at stake in November’s election. “The Supreme Court’s decision makes clear that the only way to stop the massive tax increases, government spending, and cuts to Medicare contained in the healthcare law is to elect Heather Wilson who will work to repeal this job-killing law,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox said today.

Heinrich Warned The Democrat Brass About The Medical Device Tax, Yet Pelosi Still Got Him To Vote Yes On ObamaCare
Further Proof That Heinrich Knew The Healthcare Bill Would Kill Jobs In New Mexico When liberal Congressman Martin Heinrich voted for Nancy Pelosi’s government-run healthcare bill, he knew it cut Medicare by over $500 billion, but now it’s been discovered that Heinrich also realized the medical device tax – that partially financed the legislation would thwart innovation and job growth in New Mexico. Martin Heinrich penned a letter to then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her liberal lieutenants that the medical device tax in ObamaCare would kill jobs in New Mexico, yet remarkably he still followed Pelosi’s order and voted for the bill. REP. MARTIN HEINRICH: “I am concerned that the [medical device] tax included in the Senate legislation would impede innovation, limit access to life-saving medical technology, and lead to job losses in the medical device industry. I am particularly concerned about the impact this tax would have on a facility…
Martin Heinrich Steadfast In Support Of ObamaCare As House Repeals Job-Killing Medical Device Tax
When liberal Democrat Martin Heinrich voted for President Barack Obama’s $1.76 trillion healthcare law, it slapped medical device companies in the country with a 2.3 percent tax and today Heinrich voted against the repeal of that tax in the House of Representatives. Medical device companies employ more than 400,000 Americans and this burdensome tax could eliminate 10 percent of the jobs in the industry, while encouraging these companies to move their plants overseas. As The Associated Press Reports: The tax, which takes effect next January, applies to everything from replacement joints to imaging equipment but exempts consumer products like eyeglasses and bandages. … U.S. medical device makers employ more than 400,000 people.

Martin Heinrich Votes Against Small Businesses
Like Nancy Pelosi, Heinrich Stands Up For Bigger Government & More Spending, Rather Than Standing Behind New Mexico Business Owners Continuing a long pattern of saying one thing in New Mexico, and then voting the opposite way in Washington, U.S. Rep. Martin Heinrich today voted against efforts to spur job creation by giving small businesses a 20 percent tax cut, despite the fact that families in New Mexico continue to struggle with soaring gas prices and a lagging economy. “Just like Nancy Pelosi, Martin Heinrich says one thing when he’s in New Mexico, and then turns around and votes the opposite way in Washington,” National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) spokesman Jahan Wilcox said today. “Congressman Heinrich’s vote today makes clear that he would rather protect the Democrats’ record-breaking spending and borrowing spree in Washington even at the cost of New Mexico jobs and economic recovery.” According to a recent analysis,…
Extreme Environmental Group Funnels Martin Heinrich Over $100,000 For His Job-Killing, Anti-Energy Record
After standing with radical environmental groups in their quest to kill jobs and limit the development of domestic energy resources, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) – a fringe environmental group – has announced they have raised over $100,000 for liberal Democrat Martin Heinrich. Rather than fighting for New Mexicans, Heinrich has always opted to advance the far-left’s environmental agenda. Earlier in his career, Heinrich stood with Nancy Pelosi in supporting a job-killing cap-and-trade bill. Recently, Heinrich has joined President Barack Obama in his opposition against the Keystone XL pipeline, which would create 21,000 American jobs and lower the price of gasoline. Notably, the League of Conservation Voters have given Heinrich a perfect 100% lifetime score on their national scorecard for his job-killing record. “After supporting a far left cap-and-trade bill and opposing the Keystone XL pipeline, extreme environmentalists are doubling down on Martin Heinrich’s job-killing agenda,” said National…

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has released a web video reminding New Mexicans of the broken promises from ObamaCare.

Heinrich Doubles Down On Government-Run Healthcare – Votes Against Legislation Abolishing IPAB
WITH TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY APPROACHING, THE CONSEQUENCES OF HEINRICH & PELOSI’S HEALTHCARE LAW Healthcare Law Gives 15 Unelected Bureaucrats The Power To Decide The Healthcare Decisions For New Mexicans Liberal U.S. Congressman Martin Heinrich today voted against a bill to eliminate the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) created by ObamaCare. President Barack Obama’s intrusive healthcare bill which is now the law of the land, forces every New Mexican to purchase health insurance, but also includes a provision that gives 15 unelected bureaucrats the power to decide which healthcare decisions are best for New Mexicans – IPAB. In fact, the American Hospital Association, along with over 70 medical groups warned Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congressman Martin Heinrich that the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) could limit seniors’ access to Medicare and even the infrastructure for the entire healthcare system. Additionally, it’s been reported that the IPAB’s true end game is to…
As The President Brings His Campaign West, New Mexicans Continue To Suffer From Obama & Heinrich’s Failed Energy Policies
Gas Has Risen By Over $2.00 A Gallon Since Obama & Heinrich Took Office President Barack Obama is campaigning in Carlsbad, New Mexico, today and – while his liberal ally Congressman Martin Heinrich has decided to stay back in Washington so he can fundraise – New Mexicans are paying dearly for their failed energy agenda. When Barack Obama and Martin Heinrich took office, a gallon of gasoline was $1.85 but today it’s $3.86, an increase of over $2.00. Additionally, the average price of gas has reached a record high price for the month of March.

Notably, following his trip to New Mexico the President will head to Oklahoma where he will announce his support for the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline, which Heinrich…
WITH TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY APPROACHING, THE CONSEQUENCES OF MARTIN HEINRICH’S HEALTHCARE LAW
Premiums Have Increased Liberal Democrat Martin Heinrich Claimed ObamaCare Would Lower Premiums When liberal U.S. Congressman Martin Heinrich voted for President Barack Obama’s job-killing healthcare law, he specifically promised the legislation would lower premiums, but nearly two years later families are now paying more money for their health insurance. FactCheck.org has found that ObamaCare has made healthcare slightly less affordable and it’s causing premiums to go up – not down, as Heinrich and his fellow Democrats have claimed it would. Additionally, the Kaiser Family Foundation found that in 2011 the average healthcare premium climbed from $13,770 to $15,073, which amounts to a 9 percent increase. As the New York Times reports: “The cost of health insurance for many Americans this year climbed more sharply than in previous years, outstripping any growth in workers’ wages and adding more uncertainty about the pace of rising medical costs. A new study by the…
