Rep. Loudermilk Issues Statement on Effort to Repeal, Replace Obamacare

WASHINGTON, July 28 -- Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., issued the following statement on the effort to repeal and replace Obamacare:

"Defeat is only ensured to those who surrender. The disappointing vote in the Senate is only a failure if we quit. And I will not! The most epic moments in our history are marked by Americans who, in the face of impending defeat, kept their eyes on their cause, not their circumstances.

"George Washington lost more battles than he won - but we ultimately won the war. The Alamo fell - but Texas won their independence. The US Navy was devastated at Pearl Harbor - but three years later, the Japanese surrendered.

"Now is not the time to raise the white flag. It's time to keep pressing on until we fix America's failing health care system, because Americans deserve better than the disaster they have now."
