Fellow Conservative,

When George Orwell wrote 1984 he meant it to be a warning, not an instruction manual. But there may be efforts underway by our government to turn our currency into a form of greater government power. A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would replace the dollar with a digital currency whose value would be programmable, and each transaction would become trackable and taxable by the government…unless we stop it.

Vote This Week: Pushing Back Against Government Surveillance in Your Wallet

A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a type of digital currency issued and controlled by a central bank. This platform of exchange could allow governments or other third parties to monitor and control every transaction you make, no matter how small.

The potential for information collected by a CBDC structure to be misused to target political opponents is tremendous. As the issuers of the currency, the central bank would have the power to manipulate that currency to cancel transactions, freeze bank accounts, and even seize assets. In other words, the government could run your life by controlling your money.

Fortunately, the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act (S. 3801 / H.R. 5403), introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), would prohibit a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) from being issued by the government, Federal Reserve, or “intermediated” CBDC that uses banks or other institutions as intermediary.

Grassroots engagement has already encouraged 165 cosponsors in the House and another 10 in the Senate. Now, the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act is expected to be brought to the floor of the House for consideration next week.

Congress needs to continue to hear from you. We cannot allow this Orwellian take over of our money.

Your impact on Student Loan Transfers

Debt is never truly canceled, only transferred. And Biden’s Department of Education has announced their plan to transfer nearly $150 billion in student loan debt to you, the taxpayer. Combined with Biden’s previous efforts, taxpayers could bear the cost of up to 30 million borrowers.

But the grassroots rallied to fight back with a tremendous 18,000+ public comments in opposition in just 30 days.

Public comments are one of the most effective ways of fighting back against the unelected administrative state. Agencies are required by law to respond to each unique comment they receive. Regulations cannot go into effect until they do. Waves of comments can slow down the implementation of regulations or force them to be canceled altogether.

Even if the regulation is implemented, your comments can be used in court against the regulation if a lawsuit is filed.

Importantly, it also shows Biden’s agencies that the public does not have the appetite for his regulations. Thank you for making your voices heard!

But our work is never done. There is another regulation to push back on. And this one targets firearm ownership.

Biden's Firearm Fiasco

Biden’s disdain for firearm ownership knows no bounds. After years of targeting the firearm ownership of law-abiding citizens in our county, Biden is now attempting to restrict firearm ownership and ammunition purchases in 36 other countries and financially attack firearm manufacturers in the United States. >>> Your voice is needed to combat this regulation.

Biden’s Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has proposed a regulation that increases red tape even more by requiring American firearm manufacturers to add redundant export control numbers (ECCNs). This is useless because firearms already have serial numbers that are recorded and traced.

Make no mistake, the ramifications of this regulation is meant to bankrupt firearm manufacturers and ultimately limit your access to firearms and munitions.

In an exclusive interview with The Reload Ryan Walker, Executive Vice President of Heritage Action said:

“The Department of Commerce’s rule undermines Americans’ constitutional right to bear arms by villainizing a crucial sector of the American economy. Banning the sale of American-made firearms to dozens of countries is a cunning way to target lawful gun manufacturers and owners at home by claiming free citizens around the world can’t be trusted with firearms.”

This regulation has grabbed the attention of members of Congress, including Chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn) who tweeted out an article from one of The Heritage Foundation’s second amendment experts highlighting the four key things to know about the rule.

This regulation, like so many of Biden’s previous actions, is a way to circumvent Congress because he knows they would never approve. That is why we must speak up and push back against this regulation.

In Case You Missed It

Biden Cuts Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage is a popular public-private partnership that allows health insurance providers to deliver affordable and comprehensive medical coverage to Americans over 65 and individuals with disabilities. So why is Biden finalizing cuts to the program?

First, the administration wants this cut so they will have more money to spend on government-run, fee-for-service “Medicare-for-all” programs, which would mean fewer options for physicians and coverage for patients.

Second, they hope you won’t notice before the election, but Biden’s changes to the program will cost seniors an extra $33 per month.

This is a prime example of poor governance and poor management. Biden and the far Left continue to accuse conservatives of threatening seniors' benefits, when in reality it is Biden who is raising prices for millions of Americans.

NRA Convention

If you are attending the National Rifle Association (NRA) Convention in Dallas, Texas, make sure to stop by the Heritage Action table! (Located at booth #9362 by Sig Sauer)

Yesterday was a fun-filled day, and we will be there today and tomorrow as well. Heritage Action is proud to support citizens’ right to keep and bear arms.

Thank you for all that you do to keep the conservative movement alive.
