The institution in Washington is broken. Congress doesn’t work for the American people, and to be honest, it hasn’t in a long time.
|
|
Corrupt establishment swamp politicians have repeatedly sold-out hard-working Americans while doling out favors to lobbyists and special interest groups.
|
|
In order to effectively fight for YOU over the next two years, we needed to make fundamental, institutional changes to the way that Congress functions.
|
|
That’s why I joined 19 of my colleagues to hold the line in the people’s House until we secured a deal that accomplished the following:
|
- Reverses Nancy Pelosi’s rule change and returns the House to the 100+ year precedent of allowing a single member to bring up a motion to remove a speaker if they break their promises or betray the American people.
- Promises a vote on term limits and a Texas border security plan.
- Requires single subject bills instead of several thousand-page monstrosities that are full of unrelated provisions and irrelevant nonsense.
- Requires a minimum of 72 hours to read and review the contents of a bill.
- Establishes an investigation into the weaponization of the FBI, DOJ, and other government agencies.
- Holds Biden and Senate Democrats in check by ensuring that debt ceiling increases will be accompanied by reductions in spending.
|
|
Now, conservatives will be able to truly fight for WE THE PEOPLE with our new House majority.
|
|
Some of the institutional changes we secured may seem small, but they are things that are critical for the House moving forward.
|
|
After the FBI’s illegal and partisan raid on President Trump’s home last summer, we’ve got to pursue investigations to explore possible abuses of power.
|
|
The motion to vacate rule for the speaker was in place in the House for over a hundred years until Nancy Pelosi changed it, and reinstating it is a huge step towards restoring accountability in Washington.
|
|
In the real world, if you lead a company, it only takes one member of the board of directors to hold a vote against the chairman of the board or the CEO.
|
|
It shouldn’t be any different in Congress. Restoring the single-member threshold ensures that any future speaker is fully accountable to the members.
|
|
If you want the job of leading the House, then you shouldn’t be afraid of that.
|
|
Requiring single subject bills and a minimum of 72 hours to read and review them are major steps towards transparency and reducing wasteful spending.
|
|
Far too often in Washington, various laws, provisions, and funding for dozens of separate, unrelated issues are cobbled together into massive Frankenstein bills.
|
|
Then, members are only given a few short hours to read them before they’re forced to vote yes or no on the entire thing.
|
|
The recent 4,000+ page omnibus that authorized $1.7 TRILLION in reckless spending is a perfect example of why these rules are desperately needed.
|
|
These rules changes matter immensely, Friend.
|
|
They ultimately dictate how the House functions, and that goes directly to the ability of us accomplishing the solutions that we promised the American people.
|
|
Things like securing the border, budgetary restraint, and holding the Biden Administration accountable will be much easier to accomplish because of these changes.
|
|
When I came to Washington, I vowed to stop the destruction being caused by radical far-Left progressives and advance an America First agenda.
|
|
Last Friday was a massive step towards delivering on that promise.
|
|
But this was only the beginning. We still have a lot of work to do.
|
|
To keep up the fight, we’re depending on support from grassroots, America First patriots like YOU.
