Draft Jim Jordan for Speaker - April 2018

There’s almost always a Republican who gets in the way of a positive legislative victory. On health insurance reform, there were a few, including Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who blocked the “skinny repeal” of ObamaCare from moving forward. It almost happened on tax reform because of Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.). On nearly every issue, Sen. Susan Collins (?-Maine) plays a key part in it. Yesterday, joining Sen. Collins, was Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), who played the part of Judas.

WASHINGTON, DC - FreedomWorks applauds the Supreme Court decision today in Carpenter v. United States, which determined that the federal government cannot retrace the location of a person’s cell phone without a warrant. The ruling is a step forward in defense of Americans’ civil liberties.

The fix is in. Mylan Pharmaceuticals can’t afford to keep 400 employees on its payroll in Morgantown, West Virginia, but it can afford to donate tens of thousands of dollars to Senator Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) re-election campaign.

If one were to ask any grassroots conservative or libertarian activist if congressional Republicans should take another shot at ObamaCare repeal, he or she would say undoubtedly say, “Yes!” Last year’s failure to pass a health insurance reform bill made many in the grassroots community angry, and understandably so.

Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) are renewing the push for their bill, The Free Flow of Information Act of 2017, H.R.4382, to protect our First Amendment rights. It is identical to a bill that then-Congressman Mike Pence co-authored in 2007. This legislation must be passed in order to ensure the legitimacy of our media, and to protect journalists from government abuse.
