WASHINGTON, DC - FreedomWorks calls for Congress to address the looming issue of entitlement reform in the wake of today’s CBO report, The 2018 Long-Term Budget Outlook. The report is a stark reminder that the US is headed for fiscal catastrophe if substantial reforms are not addressed soon.
WASHINGTON, DC - FreedomWorks strongly condemns Sen. Flake’s (R- Ariz.) public threat to stall President Trump’s judicial nominees in the Senate. Sen. Flake’s obstruction last week of nominee Britt Grant to the Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals is unacceptable. The Arizona senator’s actions reflect a dysfunctional Senate where progress on a bold, conservative agenda has been slowed to a crawl.
WASHINGTON, DC - FreedomWorks cheers the Pennsylvania General Assembly’s passage of the Clean Slate Act, in the House in April by a vote of 188-2 and in the Senate this afternoon by a vote of 49-0. Governor Wolf has previously stated that he will sign the bill into law, representing a significant step in the right direction for criminal justice reform for the state.
WASHINGTON, DC - FreedomWorks applauds the Supreme Court decision today in Carpenter v. United States, which determined that the federal government cannot retrace the location of a person’s cell phone without a warrant. The ruling is a step forward in defense of Americans’ civil liberties.
WASHINGTON, DC - FreedomWorks applauds the FY 2019 budget resolution approved on Thursday by the House Budget Committee. If passed, the proposal will facilitate $302 billion in spending cuts. The proposal is a step in the right direction to establish fiscal responsibility in Congress.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — FreedomWorks calls on Congress to act swiftly to protect small businesses and startups in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the 1992 Physical Presence Standard, a move which will enable states to impose burdensome taxes on retailers for online sales.
WASHINGTON, DC - Amidst the series of recent proposed media mergers, FreedomWorks encourages the FCC to approve the T-Mobile/Sprint merger. FreedomWorks has continuously advocated non-intervention on similar mergers.
WASHINGTON, DC - FreedomWorks supports passage of the historic rescissions package that is being considered by the senate this week. The Spending Cuts to Expired and Unnecessary Programs Act, H.R. 3, would rescind $15 billion in unobligated funds. The senate must revive rescissions as a tool to eliminate government waste and take away the opportunity for Congress to resort to gimmicks by using unobligated funds as spending offsets.
WASHINGTON, DC - FreedomWorks cheers the Department of Labor’s reforms that will allow more Americans to form association health plans. Millions of Americans are unable to purchase affordable health insurance coverage, and the Department of Labor’s decision is a step in the right direction to lower the cost of premiums and expand access to healthcare.

Jim Jordan to run for House Speaker. Additionally, FreedomWorks has seen a groundswell of support at grassroots events in recent weeks.
