Over the last two weeks, Democrats continued passing patently partisan bills instead of working across the aisle to find bipartisan solutions. The most glaring example of this was the rushed $1.9 trillion progressive wish-list shamelessly guised as COVID relief.<\/p>\n
What the media will not report is that we still have nearly $1 trillion of unspent funds from previous COVID legislation. Piling more onto our national debt while this money remains untouched is completely irresponsible. If enacted, our total coronavirus spending will reach a staggering $6 trillion. Folks, thats more than the GDP of every country except China and the United States.<\/p>\n
Talk about reckless spending!<\/p>\n
Hidden behind this hefty price tag are numerous provisions that have absolutely nothing to do with COVID. In fact, only 9 percent actually goes toward public health funding. But this didnt stop Speaker Nancy Pelosi from including a $140 million carveout for a Silicon Valley subway. After rejecting a Republican amendment to redirect this money for student mental health programs, Pelosi eventually removed her California pet project from the bill. I guess she finally realized partisan pork spending does little for struggling small businesses, students suffering from months away from the classroom, and speeding up vaccine distribution.<\/p>\n
Dont be fooled by the title of the Equality Act; this liberal legislation is unjust, unfair and penalizes Americans for their beliefs on biological sex. We cannot punish individuals for their moral values just to appease woke politicians.<\/p>\n
Under this bill, biological males can compete in female sports practically guaranteeing that biological females would no longer have a chance to succeed in sports or secure much-needed scholarships. This produces a whole new set of challenges for young women to reach their goals.<\/p>\n
Does that sound equal to you?<\/p>\n
I proudly voted against this federal overreach that infringes on millions of Americans Constitutional rights in the name of equality and political correctness.<\/p>\n
After the 2020 elections raised countless concerns, its clear reform is needed to restore public trust in our elections, and naturally, Democrats thought a big government approach would tackle the challenge. Their so-called For the People Act is just another Pelosi power grab aimed to nationalize our elections and benefit progressive politicians.<\/p>\n
Tired of attack ads? Under this legislation, the federal government would help fund them. Authorizing publicly funded campaigns through a 6 to 1 funding match means that for every $200 donation, the federal government will match $1,200. The government has no place in filling campaign coffers.<\/p>\n
Additionally, this one-size-fits-all mandate strips states of their ability to make decisions on registration and voting practices. I dont know about you, but Id rather let Alabama choose what works best for us, and not have Californias liberal election laws forced down our throats.<\/p>\n
Free, fair, and accurate elections are the bedrock of our Constitutional Republic. Yet through this dangerous bill, Democrats are promoting ballot harvesting, and universal mail-in voting, and discouraging voter ID.<\/p>\n
