House Democrats are embracing the words of Rahm Emanuel, who served as President Barack Obama’s first White House Chief of Staff, who once said, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) response to the COVID-19 pandemic was introduced in legislative form on Monday. The bill, the Take Responsibility for Workers and Families Act, includes a laundry list of Democratic priorities that have nothing to do with treating the virus.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In response to efforts by Democratic House leadership to tie the reauthorization of the USA PATRIOT Act to the coronavirus spending package, Jason Pye, FreedomWorks’ Vice President of Legislative Affairs, commented:
The House of Representatives handled the impeachment of President Donald Trump in an unprecedented way, one that makes a mockery of the process and delegitimizes it as a constitutional remedy. Unfortunately, this partisan charade has continued even after the House approved both articles of impeachment.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Following the vote in the House of Representatives on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) socialist price control bill, H.R. 3, Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks’ president, commented:
Much has been made in the media about uncertainty regarding our nation’s trade policy. Stories of those harmed by the trade tensions between the United States and China, as well as by the tensions between the U.S. and its North American neighbors, permeate the news cycles. Most of this uncertainty is blamed on President Trump’s confrontational negotiating style.
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In response to Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) announcement today that the House Judiciary Committee would draft articles of impeachment, Jason Pye, FreedomWorks Vice President of Legislative Affairs, commented:
In the coming weeks, Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) priority drug pricing bill, H.R. 3, is expected to come up for a vote in the House of Representatives. Make no mistake -- this is a socialist piece of legislation. Unfortunately, with the way the Democratic Party is trending and its major candidates for the presidency in 2020 endorsing increasingly big-government policies, H.R. 3 is almost guaranteed to pass the chamber.
Last week, as the House began open hearings into President Donald Trump’s dealings in Ukraine, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, was flanked by several large posters, one of which read: “I’m concerned if we don’t impeach the president, he will get reelected.”
FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for November 2019 is H.Res. 620, a resolution to expel Nancy Pelosi from the House of Representatives, offered by Rep. Ralph Abraham (R-La.). This resolution would remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as the representative for the 12th Congressional District of California and would vacate the Office of the Speaker.
