Very many people reacted with confusion when teen climate activist, Greta Thunberg, was named to a CNN expert panel on coronavirus. Greta has never claimed to be an expert on epidemiology or virology. Neither, for that matter, is she an expert on any political topic as she is still a teenager. Her claim to fame is lecturing the world on the supposed inadequacy of its response to climate change. It’s subtle, but this is why it should come as a surprise to no one that the corporate press is once again dragging Greta to the limelight to talk about this pandemic.

On September 8, 1950, President Harry Truman signed the Defense Production Act (DPA) into law.

Thankfully, he has mostly resisted these calls and the private sector has answered the call of duty on its own.

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.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to vote NO on the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule CRA Resolution of Disapproval. This resolution would provide for congressional disapproval to undo the ACE Rule -- the Trump Administration’s replacement of the Obama Administration’s Clean Power Plan (CPP) -- and reinstate the disastrous and ineffectual Obama-era rule.
