Dear Friend, 

Another busy week of our state freedom caucuses fighting for you.  Here are the top stories.

SOUTH DAKOTA

RINO US Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota was one of a few Republicans to publicly oppose President Trump's $9 billion rescissions package that would defund NPR and PBS.  

The South Dakota Freedom Caucus was having none of that, so they publicly told Rounds to listen to the voters who are demanding that he CUT THE SPENDING.

Not long after their statement went out, Rounds reversed course and stated that he would support the bill.  Since then, the Senate and the House have passed the legislation.  It is now headed to President Trump's desk for his signature!

GEORGIA

The Georgia Freedom Caucus is providing no oxygen for statewide "Republican" officials when they defend woke policies.  This time it's RINO Attorney General Chris Carr, who has been talking out of both sides of his mouth.

CONGRESS

This past week was Crypto Week on Capitol Hill.  The House Freedom Caucus was supportive of the pro-growth crypto bills that were being considered, but with one caveat - the legislation didn't explicitly ban, in all forms, a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

CBDCs are a form of financial slavery.  If one were enacted, the government could use digital money to monitor your transactions and even censor them.  Want to buy a gun?  The government could prevent that with a CBDC.  Want to buy a subscription to The Federalist?  Nope.  Radical leftists like Senator Elizabeth Warren desperately want a CBDC, so it's imperative that we codify into law a complete ban on CBDCs.

So the HFC negotiated a deal with the White House to ban CBDCs in the upcoming NDAA bill that will be considered later this fall.

We are mentioning this, not just to applaud our brothers and sisters in the House Freedom Caucus, but to remind you that our State Freedom Caucuses have led the way on this fight as well.

In previous years, there have been several attempts in multiple states to enact a framework that would enable CBDCs at the state-level.  Our South Dakota Freedom Caucus was the first to sound the alarm when they convinced then-Governor Kristi Noem to veto the legislation.  Our Arizona Freedom Caucus and our Montana Freedom Caucus, just to name a couple - killed the legislation as well.

Because CBDCs are so insidious and dangerous, it requires a concerted federal-state joint event to stop them.  And our freedom caucuses have led the way.  This is a perfect example that proves the point made by President Calvin Coolidge who said, "It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones."

WYOMING

A leftist judge has issued an injunction against the school choice bill sponsored and passed by the Wyoming Freedom Caucus earlier this year.  

Thankfully, the state's attorney general has appealed the decision, which means the case will now go before the Wyoming Supreme Court.  The Wyoming Freedom Caucus's statement is a must-read:

HELP US GROW

This summer is critical for laying the groundwork for our expansion into new states and keeping our current states strong.

But we can’t do it without you.

Grassroots donors like you keep us going strong. Every dollar counts—especially now.

Can we count on your support today?

Together, we’ll turn up the heat—and the momentum.

We'll be back with another update next week.  Until then, please be sure to support our efforts so that we can support our State Freedom Caucuses!

In Liberty,
