FreedomWorks has submitted the following statement for the record to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, for their hearing entitled “Examining the Root Causes of America’s Unsustainable Fiscal Path.”

FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for January 2020 is the Know Debt Resolution, H.Res. 686, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas). The Know Debt Resolution would require the Clerk of the House of Representatives to place a real-time display of the national debt -- otherwise known as a debt clock -- in the main hearing rooms of both the House Appropriations Committee and the House Budget Committee.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is correct. The $1.4 trillion Omnibus Spending package is a “piece of garbage.”

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to vote NO on the Consolidated Appropriations Act (House Amendment to Senate Amendment to H.R. 1158) and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act (House Amendment to Senate Amendment to H.R. 1865). These two spending monstrosities, which amount to a staggering 2,313 pages and approximately $1.4 trillion in spending between them, represent nothing more than a worsening of the swamp culture and the spending addiction in Washington, combined with atrocious processes for “governing” by our nation’s “leadership.”
