FreedomWorks is proud to honor Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) as our member of the month for December 2019. Representing Texas’ 4th Congressional District, which encompasses the northeast corner of the state near Dallas, Rep. Ratcliffe has been a solid defender of freedom in the House of Representatives since 2015.

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.

On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your senators and representative and ask them to support legislation to abolish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and to co-sponsor the legislation if they have not already done so. Introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in the Senate and by Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) in the House, S. 370 and H.R. 1031 would begin the process of rolling back the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.

On behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor the Separation of Powers Restoration Act, H.R. 76. Introduced by Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas), the Separation of Powers Restoration Act would reduce the influence of the federal bureaucrats in the regulatory state by ending the Chevron deference established by the Supreme Court.

The Class of 2015 brought in a number of strong, liberty-loving members to the House of Representatives. All around the country, political newcomers were winning elections by campaigning for lower taxes, less government, and more freedom. After just a year of governance, few have delivered on those ideas the way that Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) has, never failing to put his legislation where his mouth is, winning FreedomWorks’ FreedomFighter Award with a first-year score of 95 percent on the FreedomWorks Congressional Scorecard.
