The Big Picture

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 FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and senators and ask them to cosponsor the Keystone XL Pipeline Construction and Jobs Preservation Act, H.R. 684 and S. 171, introduced by Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and Rep. Kelly Armstrong (R-N.D.). Quite simply, this legislation would authorize construction and operation of the planned XL portion of the Keystone pipeline and would remove the requirement for a presidential permit.

On Inauguration Day, President Joe Biden wasted no time in advancing his regulatory agenda by signing a series of 17 Executive Orders. Amidst this deluge, the Biden administration revoked a crucial construction permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, leaving the $8 billion project dead in the water. In doing so, President Biden sent a very clear signal that his administration’s climate agenda aims to target the oil and gas industry like never before.

Dear FreedomWorks member, As one of our millions of FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to contact your Representative and urge him or her to support the Northern Route Approval Act, also known as H.R. 3.  Introduced by Rep. Lee Terry (NE-2), this bill would allow for the completion of the Keystone XL Pipeline without any further delay or interference from the Obama administration and radical environmental special interests.

Here's the latest from Capitol Hill, for week of April 8-12.

Earlier this month, a bipartisan group of senators asked President Obama to consider issuing a permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline. These nine Democrat senators and nine Republicans asked Obama to approve the pipeline to help create jobs and reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
