FreedomWorks Statement in Response to Majority Leader McConnell’s Decision to Refrain from Senate Floor Vote on H.R. 1

03/05/2019

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In response to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) decision to not bring H.R. 1, the so-called “For The People Act,” up for a vote on the Senate floor, Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks President, commented:

“H.R. 1 is a blatant power grab cloaked in ‘anti-corruption’ by Democrats and Leader McConnell is right to refuse to bring this bad bill to the floor for a vote, should it pass the House. H.R. 1 should really be called the ‘For the Politicians Act’ because it does everything possible to make sure incumbent Democrats are re-elected. This bill is an assault on the First Amendment and would have a chilling effect on political speech. ”

FreedomWorks recently hosted a Facebook livestream with Reps. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and Denver Riggleman (R-Va.) explaining why H.R. 1 would put an end to free elections.

Oppose the So-Called “For the People Act,” H.R. 1

BY Adam Brandon

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to oppose the so-called “For the People Act,” H.R. 1. Introduced by Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.), the For the People Act would deter political free speech and federalize elections. This is one of the more bold-faced assaults on the First Amendment that has come through Congress in quite some time.

TSA Caught Violating Civil Liberties (Again)

BY Samantha Debicki

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has created a secret watch list of individuals who they claim pose potential threats to airport security. This ridiculous “safety precaution” allows the TSA, an unaccountable government agency, to get away with unnecessary and invasive searches and violates travelers’ privacy rights.
