STATEMENT FROM PRO TEM COFFEE ON ATTORNEY GENERAL EDMONDSON’S ANNOUNCMENT DECLINING TO FILE LAWSUIT AGAINST FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

"Today we have taken a giant step backwards. By filing this lawsuit, we could thwart the liberal left's push to encroach on the liberties of all Oklahomans. Attorney General Drew Edmondson has refused to make this bipartisan move to challenge the constitutionality of Obamacare. But we as a legislature will continue to fight for the state of Oklahoma and not allow the government to strip away our liberties one mandate at a time."
