The House and Senate are in session this week.

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 behalf of FreedomWorks’ activist community, I urge you to contact your representatives and urge him or her to support the Right to Try Act, H.R. 878, introduced by Representatives Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa). This bill would prevent the federal government from interfering with state laws that already permit aspects of Right to Try, and it would grant terminally-ill patients access to drugs that have already passed the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) basic safety testing.
