Washington - According to press reports, House Leadership will unveil a clean, six-week extension of America's debt ceiling later today. Heritage Action for America released the following statement from chief executive officer Michael A. Needham:
"Ten days into their government shutdown, President Obama and Harry Reid refuse to acknowledge Obamacare is already wreaking havoc on hard-working Americans. Heritage Action remains committed to fighting this unworkable, unaffordable and unfair law. We do not support clean debt ceiling increases, but because Heritage Action is committed to giving House Leadership the flexibility they need to refocus the debate on Obamacare we will not key vote against the reported proposal."
