Voting for ObamaCare is a fire-able offense
10 things to know about Thom Tillis:- Not born in North Carolina. Tillis was actually born in Jacksonville FL, and moved 18 times before graduating high school. He didn't settle in N.C. until 1998.
- Played a role in the state constitutional
same-sex marriage ban. As speaker, he supported the ban and helped lead the state House to put the amendment on the ballot.
- Said "proudest moment" was support from a pro-life group, National Right to Life: 'More than any organization I can think of,
I'm proud that they recognize the work that we've done to save the lives of the unborn."
- Called the Affordable Care Act Sen. Kay Hagan's "fireable offense." An MSNBC commentator asked Tillis what Hagan's "fireable offense" was: "First, her decisive
vote on ObamaCare," Tillis said, adding that a big part of his job as Speaker is "cleaning up Kay Hagan's mess when she was sitting in the state Senate."
- Helped draft a major tax reform bill to reduce individual and corporate rates.

AdWatch: ObamaCare is a disaster
Two TV ads target Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan over her support of the new health care law. They echo a theme being played out across the country as Republicans and their allies pound Democrats over ObamaCare.An ad by Thom Tillis blasts
Hagan's support of the Affordable Care Act. The ad launches next week with a $300,000 buy.
In his ad, Tillis calls the health law "a disaster." Tillis says, "And the president won't admit it. Kay Hagan enabled President Obama's worst ideas.
She refuses to clean up his mess. So you and I have to clean up hers."
A Hagan spokeswoman said Tillis shares the blame for higher premiums, citing some health care experts who have said the state's decision--supported by Tillis--not to run its
own health care exchange has resulted in less competition and generally higher premiums. Though Hagan supports ObamaCare, she has co-sponsored a bill that would allow people to keep their current policy.

AdWatch: TV PAC attack on ObamaCare is a "badge of honor"
A super PAC aligned with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is attacking Thom Tillis in a new TV ad--and Tillis is making the most of it.The Senate Majority PAC is spending $750,000 on a 30-second spot defending Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan on the
federal health care while attacking Tillis The ad will run statewide for two weeks, PAC officials said. It's the second pro-Hagan ad they've run in N.C., spending near $400,000 in November.
In the new ad, they defend Hagan's support of the Affordable
Care Act, without ever referring to the act or its commonly known name, ObamaCare. Instead, they tout her support of legislation that "forced insurance companies to cover cancer and other pre-existing conditions." Tillis, it says, "sides with insurance
companies." It's a reference to Tillis' opposition to the health care law.
Tillis' campaign put a message on Twitter saying: "It is a badge of honor to be attacked by Harry Reid--I'll work night and day to beat Kay Hagan and overthrow Reid's majority."

Do everything in our power to undo ObamaCare
Nearly every Republican candidate running for Senate in 2014 backs the GOP's push to use the threat of a government shutdown to defund ObamaCare--a sign of how popular they believe the plan is with conservative primary voters. Those supporting the GOP
strategy include N.C. House Speaker Thom Tillis (R), the GOP frontrunner to face Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC), who said he supported the GOP's brinkmanship because ObamaCare is a "mortal threat to our economy.""Republicans should do everything in our power
to undo it. That means using every tool available to us including this CR fight," he said in a statement to The Hill.
GOP operatives say there's little downside for candidates to embrace the "defund" movement--especially those who are facing primary
opponents. "There is no downside to coming out against defunding ObamaCare if you're a Senate candidate," said one longtime GOP strategist. For Senate candidates who aren't already in Congress, especially, there's little political danger, he says.
