WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In response to the launch today of the bipartisan War Powers Caucus by Reps. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and Ro Khanna (D-Cal.), Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks President, commented:
On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and senators and ask them to cosponsor the resolution recognizing the national debt as a threat to national security, H.Res. 149 and S.Res. 78. Introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.), the resolution offers inconvenient facts about the national debt, the unchecked growth of which will cause severe national security and economic problems for the United States.
FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for February 2019 is the Responsible Path to Full ObamaCare Repeal Act, H.R. 83, sponsored by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and original cosponsors Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), and Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.). This bill would fully follow through on one of Republicans’ primary campaign promises since 2010: to repeal ObamaCare.
FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for June 2018 is H.Res. 919, sponsored by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.). The resolution, which has 36 cosponsors, would recognize that our unsustainable national debt poses a true threat to the security of our country. This simple fact is too often ignored by those who claim to be fiscal conservatives, yet use increased defense funding as an excuse to vote for higher and higher spending levels each year.
FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for March 2018 is the Defund National Endowment for the Humanities Act, H.R. 5046, introduced by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.).
In his State of the Union address one week ago today, President Donald Trump touted the widespread successes of tax reform legislation as well as his impressive rollback of regulatory burdens. FreedomWorks applauds those successes, and encourages Congress to advance further successes of the president’s agenda, as presented in his speech.
FreedomWorks’ is proud to name the Right to Try Act, H.R. 878, as the Bill of the Month for September, 2017. This is companion legislation to the Trickett Wendler Right to Try Act, which passed the Senate last month by unanimous consent. H.R. 878 is sponsored by House Freedom Caucus member, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.).
On May 5, 2017, Gov. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) signed SB 5035, making Washington the 35th Right to Try state. The Right to Try law allows drugs that have passed the initial phase of FDA testing to be tried by various individuals despite the fact the drug has not yet gone through the lengthy process of full approval by the agency.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) is FreedomWorks’ Member of the Month for March. A freshman, Rep. Biggs sits on the House Judiciary Committee and was chosen to head the Environmental subcommittee within the Science, Space and Technology Committee in the 115th Congress.
