WASHINGTON—The free-market grassroots group Americans for Prosperity (AFP) today reacted to a statement by Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis that the Obama administration continues to support card check legislation. AFP President Tim Phillips released the following statement:

"Secretary Solis’s insistence today that Congress still needs to pass card check legislation is an embarrassment. The administration has clearly not gotten the message the American people have been sending over the past year. Americans are fed up with Washington’s inside baseball, especially favors for the special interests that put them in office.

Last night, the people of Massachusetts spoke. In crystal clear fashion, they told President Obama and Congressional Democrats to end this health care takeover now. 

The meaning and magnitude of Scott Brown's historic victory is truly stunning. 

During much of the debate over health care, the costs of the program have been brushed aside due to the urgency of getting the legislation passed. Through it all, politicians have looked to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office to lay out the true costs of these massive government programs. But when the final tab heads back to Congress, the price tag can be little more than wishful thinking on behalf of clever accounting techniques.
