Fox News: New Dem Members of Congress May Look Diverse But Their Ideas Are Not and Are Harming Communities Like Mine

BY C.L. Bryant

When I served as president of the NAACP branch in Garland, Texas in the 1980s, we believed in the dignity of work. We fought for equal treatment under the law, and quality education for our children.

BY Adam Brandon

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and representative and ask them to vote NO on the Consolidated Appropriations Act, Conference Report to H.J.Res. 31. The text of the 1,169-page bill, which contains funding for the remaining seven appropriations bills that Congress has thus far failed to pass for Fiscal Year 2018, was released overnight. It spends profligately as Congress recklessly attempts to cover for itself being nearly six months late on doing its job.

BY Adam Brandon

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to vote NO on the “Green New Deal” resolution, S.J.Res. 8.
