Love America - March. 2020

FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our Bill of the Month for March 2020 is the Bring ESA Into the 21st Century Act, H.R. 5580. Introduced by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), the Bring ESA Into the 21st Century Act seeks to codify certain rules and regulations that would reform the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to better respect private property rights.

The House and Senate are in session this week.

If you’ve spent enough time in a public school or listening to cable news, you are probably convinced to some extent that regulations exist to protect the American citizenry, whether physically or financially. However, if you’ve been paying attention to reality, you will recognize that it is quite the opposite. The regulatory state has been weaponized against everyday Americans.

This week marks the 184th anniversary of the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Unfortunately, although it remains an event of massive importance to my home state, the events that transpired at Washington-on-the-Brazos during the Convention of 1836 have largely gone ignored by the rest of the country. This is unfortunate, for there are many important lessons about governance and liberty that can be learned from the Texas Revolution.
