Rep. Hurt Receives Chamber Award
Lynchburg, VA - 5th District Congressman Robert Hurt
focused on the economy and President Obama's health care legislation at
Thursday morning's Chamber of Commerce meeting.
He also received their "Spirit of
Enterprise" award. It's given to a member of Congress based on rankings
for key business votes.
Hurt explained to the group why he wants to repeal
President Obama's health care plan.
Hurt says he hears from many small business owners
who tell him it's crippling them, making it impossible or difficult to expand.
"That's why it's so vitally important to that
we work in Washington to repeal that law, and replace it with something will
actually work, and reduce the cost of healthcare in this country, and not
increase it.. and that will preserve our individual liberties that we all care
about," he said.
