President Obama correctly stated in a State of the Union speech, “Surely we can agree that the right to vote is sacred…” and he called for more opportunities for citizens to vote.

FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for June 2020 is H.R. 2558, which would define the dollar as a fixed weight of gold, introduced by Rep. Alex Mooney (R-W.Va.). This bill would require the Department of the Treasury to define the value of the dollar in terms of a fixed weight of gold based on the market price.

FreedomWorks is proud to honor Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) as our member of the month for June 2020. Having represented the people of South Carolina in some capacity since he was first elected to the Charleston City Council in 1995, Sen. Scott has proven himself a strong ally for liberty and a dedicated public official.

FreedomWorks recently announced the launch of the American Freedom Initiative (AFI), a collaboration headed by former acting U.S. Attorney General Matt Whitaker. This project aims to help relieve injustices committed against Americans under the criminal justice system and the regulatory state. As part of this project, we will shine a spotlight on some of the individuals the AFI has identified under its National Pardon Project as being particularly hard hit by unjustly harsh criminal sentences for non-violent crimes.
