This week has marked a significant turning point in American attitudes regarding the coronavirus crisis and, more significantly, the stay-at-home orders that have swept our nation and devastated our economy. Such orders have mandated certain activities -- often under threat of criminal penalty -- and required closure of businesses deemed “nonessential” by various government officials.
FreedomWorks is proud to honor Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) as our member of the month for August 2018. He serves in the House of Representatives for Ohio’s 4th Congressional District, located in the north-central and western portions of the state. His district is the eastern neighbor of Ohio’s 8th Congressional District, formerly held by ex-Speaker of the House John Boehner.
On June 11th, the US House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Health Care, Benefits, & Administrative Rules held a hearing on the fraud, waste, and abuse within the Ex-Im Bank. The witness was Acting Inspector General for the Ex-Im Bank, Michael McCarthy, who left me uneasy and disappointed leaving the hearing.
Dear Representative,
On behalf of over a million FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to vote YES on Rep. Jordan’s amendment #104 to H.R. 1 the Full Year Continuing Appropriation Act. As it currently stands, the proposed continuing resolution lowers non-security discretionary spending to $396.6 billion. This would be the largest discretionary spending cut in American history. Rep. Jordan’s amendment would go even further by returning non-security discretionary spending to FY2008 levels, which is $378 billion.
