On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and senators ask them to co-sponsor the Retirement Freedom Act, H.R. 1166 and S. 275, introduced by Rep.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to vote NO on the nomination of Xavier Becerra for Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The scorecard shows what most in Washington should already know: price controls are a surefire prescription for failure.

FreedomWorks Foundation's Regulatory Action Center (RAC) submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding regulatory changes for outpatient facilities. This proposal would grant more flexibility to physicians and patients to seek care at lower costs. It also repeals regulations unnecessarily implemented by Obamacare.

If you used your free time on Saturday or Sunday to watch football, you may have seen an ad run by Joe Biden’s campaign in which the narrator says that Biden won’t raise taxes on anyone earning less than $400,000 annually. The ad perpetuates the myth that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was a “tax cut for the rich.” As Chris Edwards of the Cato Institute notes, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act “provided the largest percentage tax cuts to the bottom two quintiles—that is, the bottom 40 percent of U.S. households.”
