The Big Picture

Today, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) sent a letter co-authored with FreedomWorks to the House of Representatives opposing the passage of S.J.Res. 15, the Congressional Review Act resolution which would overturn the Office of the Comptroller of Currency's (OCC) 2020 True Lender Rule. A vote is expected on the resolution in the House later this week.

Today, FreedomWorks sent the following letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), as well as Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Chairman Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Ranking Member Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), expressing strong opposition to S.J.Res. 15, which would disapprove of the OCC's October 2020 True Lender rule.

FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for November 2020 is an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to require legislative approval for certain regulations, H.J.Res. 71, introduced by Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). This amendment would require congressional approval for any regulation for which one-fourth of either chamber has signed a petition of disapproval.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and ask them to vote NO on the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule CRA Resolution of Disapproval. This resolution would provide for congressional disapproval to undo the ACE Rule -- the Trump Administration’s replacement of the Obama Administration’s Clean Power Plan (CPP) -- and reinstate the disastrous and ineffectual Obama-era rule.
