Today, FreedomWorks sent the following letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), as well as Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Chairman Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Ranking Member Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), expressing strong opposition to S.J.Res. 15, which would disapprove of the OCC's October 2020 True Lender rule.
On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to cosponsor the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, S. 68, if they haven’t already done so. Introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), the REINS Act would reaffirm the legislative branch’s Article I authority by requiring that economically significant rules be approved through a joint resolution of Congress before they can take effect.
FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for November 2020 is an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require legislative approval for certain regulations, H.J.Res. 71, introduced by Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). This amendment would require congressional approval for any regulation for which one-fourth of either chamber has signed a petition of disapproval.
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.
On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and urge them to vote NO on S.J.Res. 64, the disapproval resolution under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify the Department of the Treasury’s policy to end the collection of donor information to certain 501(c) nonprofit organizations. S.J.Res. 64 would weaken free speech protections and put donor privacy at risk.
On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to vote NO on the Restoring Internet Freedom Order CRA Resolution of Disapproval, S.J.Res. 52. This resolution would provide for congressional disapproval of the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) Restoring Internet Freedom Order, which repealed burdensome Title II Internet regulations.
FreedomWorks has signed onto the following coalition letter, led by the Competitive Enterprise Institute. This letter supports House Joint Resolution 122, which provides for congressional disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) small-dollar loan rule.
