The 2018 midterm cycle is already shaping up to be a tough year for Republicans in the House, with many predicting a “blue wave” this fall and speculating that the GOP will lose its majority because of it. However, there is a simple fix for this: a change of party leadership. A choice is looming large in front of the GOP: Who will succeed Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as the top House Republican?

On Wednesday evening, FreedomWorks was proud to host a town hall meeting with Congressman Thomas Massie in the Cincinnati suburban community of Erlanger, Kentucky. The event was co-hosted with the Northern Kentucky Tea Party, a group of local grassroots activists fighting for fiscal responsibility, limited government, and free markets. Mr. Massie has a lifetime FreedomWorks score of 94%, indicating a pristine pro-liberty voting record.

Budget negotiations have failed and Speaker Boehner is likely to opt for a lame duck solution. Little good can come from this for the cause of liberty.

I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me

Dear FreedomWorks member, As one of our million-plus FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to contact your Representative and ask him or her to vote NO on Speaker Boehner’s new debt ceiling plan. While we applaud House leadership for passing the Cut, Cap and Balance Act last week, we do not support Speaker Boehner’s new compromise, which violates the Cut, Cap and Balance Pledge because it neither cuts nor caps nor balances federal spending.
