(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 18, 2011 ) Fairfax, VA — Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson today in a letter urged Governor Rick Perry to take immediate action against the implementation of new regulatory processes forbidden by Judge Roger Vinson’s ruling overturning ObamaCare.

Published in the Federal Register, the Obama Administration has introduced a new regulation affecting student health plans. Wilson said the executive branch has no more power to implement regulations based on voided legislation.

“These actions are barred by Judge Vinson’s ruling. The Obama Administration has not even taken the basic step asking the courts for a stay of that decision,” Wilson said in a previous statement.

“The Obama Administration has no authority or right to issue any regulations under an unconstitutional act. They have no standing to attempt to impose the regulations of a voided act on Virginia or any other state. If they wanted to continue issuing their regulations, they should seek a stay of Judge Vinson’s order. They have not,” Wilson wrote in his letter.

“Everyone gets the joke,” Wilson explained, “If they seek a stay the move would be viewed as an admission that the act is now considered unconstitutional. To do so by the Obama Administration would undercut what little legitimacy the proposal still enjoys. So, the Administration is attempting to ignore this difficult situation by simply continuing as if no ruling were ever issued.”

“The matter needs to be taken immediately to court,” Wilson continued, “I urge you to ask Judge Vinson to find the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in contempt for violating his ruling and seek an order to desist from any further actions relating to the unconstitutional act.”

Wilson concluded, “Timidity in this instance will not be viewed by history or the American people as prudence. Rather, failure to act will be a mark of shame that no elected official will ever be able to wash off. I fully understand that an army of lawyers can devise a million reasons why a particular action ‘cannot work’ or is ‘questionable.’ Please do not heed the calls to inaction.”
