FreedomWorks is excited to honor Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) as the member of the month for December 2021. He serves in the House of Representatives for Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District, located in the south-central part of the state south of the capital city of Harrisburg.

The Big Picture

Today, FreedomWorks Foundation submitted a formal comment opposing a proposed rule by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that would repeal President Trump's revised definition of "Waters of the United States."

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor and sign the discharge petition for the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act, H.R. 859. Introduced by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Co.), the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act would roll back job-killing executive orders that hold back American workers and energy independence.

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to support the Energy Sovereignty Act, H.R. 1705. Introduced by Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), the Energy Sovereignty Act would repeal Section 115 of the Clean Air Act.

Barring any unexpected changes or legitimate legal challenges, it appears that former Vice President Joe Biden will be the 46th President of the United States. Since this appears to be the inevitable outcome, it is paramount that we turn our attention to those issues most salient to a Biden administration. Chief among these is the issue of climate change and clean energy.

If you happen to peruse Joe Biden’s campaign website, you will find a laundry list of “Biden Plans” for everything from ending racism to reintroducing the failed Cash for Clunkers program for electric vehicles. Among these patently ridiculous proposals sits a seemingly innocuous promise to “establish a technology-neutral Energy Efficiency and Clean Electricity Standard (EECES) for utilities and grid operators.” But behind its sweet sounding title, creating a national EECES could prove to be a disaster for the energy sector.
