FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon released the following statement about Paul Ryan's reported statements about workforce development in West Virginia:
FreedomWorks recognizes Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) as member of the month for February. Representing Texas’s 2nd congressional district, Rep. Poe was elected in November 2004 to succeed now-retired Rep. Jim Turner (R-Texas), who had held the seat since 1997. Rep. Poe is the first Republican to represent this particular district.
FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for February 2018 is the Presidential Allowance Modernization Act, H.R. 3739, sponsored by Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.).
FreedomWorks Vice President of Advocacy Noah Wall released the following comment on Mark Zandy, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, optimistic predictions about our continually improving economy:
The movement towards reforming our prison system to lower crime rates and reduce recidivism is helping to shed additional light on absurd occupational licensing laws around the country.
On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and representative and ask them to support the Guidance Out Of Darkness (GOOD) Act, S. 2296 and H.R. 4809, introduced by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.). The bill would require federal agencies to post regulatory guidance documents online, making them more accessible to those businesses affected by the guidance and to the American public generally.
FreedomWorks Vice President of Legislative Affairs Jason Pye released the following statement after the Arizona House Committee on Military, Veterans, and Regulatory Affairs advanced House Bill 2011, which would increase competition for customers looking to get their hair blow dried, straitened, or styled without the use of chemicals:
On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to sign the letter led by Reps. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) and Ted Budd (R-N.C.) to Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and House Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) urging that any vote to bring back the pernicious practice of earmarks be public. FreedomWorks will key vote the signers of the letter, treating them as voting YES for the purposes of our 2018 Congressional Scorecard.
