FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for March 2021 is a resolution on unspent COVID-19 stimulus funds, S.Res. 88 and H.Res. 127. Introduced by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) respectively, this resolution would require President Biden to submit a report to Congress on the amount of COVID-19 stimulus funding previously appropriated and currently unspent within 14 days of enactment.

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and senators and ask them to cosponsor the Student Empowerment Act, H.R. 605 and S. 44. Introduced by Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the Student Empowerment Act would further expand 529 education savings accounts to include K-12 elementary and secondary school expenses for public, private, and religious schools, including homeschool students.

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to vote NO on President Joe Biden’s blatantly partisan budget, H.Con.Res. 11. The entire purpose of H.Con.Res. 11 is to force legislation through Congress on party lines. Although the nascent Biden administration has had a message of “unity,” the use of budget reconciliation means that bipartisanship is being cast aside to advance a partisan agenda.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is under fire for visiting a hair salon in San Francisco in violation of a city ordinance. Hair salons have been shut down in San Francisco since March but opened on September 1 for outdoor business. Pelosi visited on Monday, a day before the scheduled reopening. Video of her visit, released by the store owner, shows the Speaker walking around inside the salon without a mask covering her face, also in violation of city ordinance.

On Wednesday, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released separate reports on the ten-year budget outlook and the financial outlook for major federal trust funds. The reports show the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, the failure of Congress to responsibly manage federal spending, and the cost of doing nothing to put federal entitlement programs on a sustainable financial path.
