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.
The latest report from the Census Bureau on income and poverty shows that President Trump’s pro-growth economic agenda brought the pre-pandemic economy to soaring new heights. Not only did we see significant decreases in poverty, but median household income rose to a historic high in 2019 before states instituted sweeping lockdowns that put millions of people out of work and on to the government's payroll.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor the Coronavirus Regulatory Repeal Act, H.R. 6691, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas). The Coronavirus Regulatory Repeal Act would ensure that any federal regulation repealed or modified during the coronavirus pandemic is permanently repealed the day after the expiration of the national emergency period.
Welcome to FreedomWorks Foundation’s sixth regulatory review of 2020! Our Regulatory Action Center proudly updates you with the latest regulatory actions from the swamp. This week, we bring you a special coronavirus edition, highlighting some of the government regulations that have been repealed to fight the pandemic. Check back next week for the next edition.
One of the most important legacies the Trump administration will leave behind is the mountain of regulatory red tape taken off the books. This red tape reduction contributed greatly to the expansion of our economy, the growth of the stock market, and the reduction in unemployment. This has been a key part, if not the cornerstone, of fulfilling the president’s promise to “drain the swamp” in Washington.
