WASHINGTON, D.C. -- As a part of “We the People” week in opposition to H.R. 1, FreedomWorks today launches our “Make D.C. Maryland Again” campaign, which aims to achieve representation for D.C. residents in Congress by giving parts of the district back to Maryland.
Today, FreedomWorks Foundation submitted a formal comment supporting a proposed rule by the National Institute of Standards and Technology that seeks to provide clarity to federal "march-in" rights under the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980. In short, the Bayh-Dole Act lays out the framework for providing inventors the title to their innovations that are either wholly or partially publicly funded. Within this framework exists a little-known provision that give federal agencies the authority to "march-in" and force title holders to provide a license for their product where they otherwise would not have, creating a loophole by which the federal government could implement price controls on private companies.
On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor the Kenneth P. Thompson Begin Again Act, H.R. 1924. Introduced by Reps. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Van Taylor (R-Texas), the Kenneth P. Thompson Begin Again Act would eliminate the age requirement for an individual seeking to have his or her record expunged for a first-time drug offense.
