WASHINGTON, DC - FreedomWorks supports passage of the historic rescissions package that is being considered by the senate this week. The Spending Cuts to Expired and Unnecessary Programs Act, H.R. 3, would rescind $15 billion in unobligated funds.

WASHINGTON, DC - FreedomWorks cheers the Department of Labor’s reforms that will allow more Americans to form association health plans.
