minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, I'm not a fan of government mandates, and 
neither are my constituents in Mississippi. There is one mandate that 
the people of Mississippi sent me to Washington with: to repeal, 
replace, dismantle, delay, and defund ObamaCare.
  I've heard from families, small businesses, and hardworking Americans 
across my district who all have the same message--this law is a train 
wreck.
  That is why one of my very first votes in Congress was to repeal 
ObamaCare. That's why I've voted to repeal it nearly 40 times over the 
last 3 years. That is why I introduced a constitutional amendment to 
restore the right of the American people to refuse this bad law. That 
is also why I firmly believe we must defund ObamaCare in a continuing 
resolution this body will take up later this year.
  I believe this is a fight worth fighting for Mississippi, and I 
believe it's a fight worth fighting for the American people.
  I'm calling on my colleagues to join me in this fight to stand 
strong, to stand together, and let's defund ObamaCare.
