On behalf of our activist community, I urge you to contact your representative and ask him or her to cosponsor the Federal Employee Disclosure (FED) Transparency Act, H.R. 2612. Introduced by Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.), the FED Transparency Act would require the disclosure of federal pension records under the Freedom of Information Act and a report from agency heads on performance bonuses given to employees.

FreedomWorks is proud to recognize Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) as our member of the month for November. Rep. Sanford represents South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, which encompasses much of South Carolina’s southeastern coastline, including Hilton Head Island. Sanford served as representative for this district from 1995 to 2001, and again from 2013 to the present.

FreedomWorks is proud to announce that our bill of the month for August 2018 is the One Percent Spending Reduction Act, H.R. 5572, introduced by Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.).

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.
