Dear Friend, 

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

THE BLAZE

I was in Dallas earlier this week, so I stopped by The Blaze studio to talk with Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson on their show, "The Mandate".

The key point I made, which is highlighted below, was that "Red states, almost all of them, are governed by Democrats with an R after their name. It's one of the most underreported stories in the country." 

The video clip got a lot of attention on social media.  The dozens of online comments echoed my sentiment.  They included:

"Like Texas...absolutely"

"That's Ohio with DeWine"

"This is true, surprisingly, in Arkansas!"

"Especially Utah"

This can be depressing news, but as supporters of the State Freedom Caucus Network, you know that there is hope.  You know that there is an answer to this problem.  

The solution is our ever-growing group of 13 state freedom caucuses comprised of almost 200 principled, conservative state lawmakers who are exposing this liberal conceit on a daily basis.

Our mission remains the same - continue to support and help our current states and expand into new states until we're in all 50.  That's the goal and we're going to get there with your help.

MISSOURI

The Missouri Freedom Caucus is leading the charge to draw Congressional maps that reflect the will of Missouri voters and give President Trump the strong conservative majority he needs in Congress.

But surprise, surprise: the Jeff City Swamp and their "Republican" leaders don't seem to be interested.

So the MOFC is calling for a special session to force the issue.  We must seize the opportunity to stop the Swamp and out-of-state liberal groups that are trying to alter Missouri's constitution.

The ball is now in the Swamp's court.  Will they hold a special session or defy President Trump and the Missouri Freedom Caucus?

MARYLAND

For years, power plants have been closing in Maryland due to the Maryland Democrats' “Green Energy Scam”.

On top of that, environmental extremists like the Sierra Club have sued coal and oil-powered plant operators leading to their systematic demise in Maryland.

The result is crushing energy bills throughout the state as they import a whopping 40% of their electricity from Pennsylvania and beyond. Still, it is not enough to keep the lights on.

The Maryland Freedom Caucus began raising the alarm of coming blackouts in February of this year. Their relentless pursuit to keep power plants open by any means necessary, including three letters to the federal Department of Energy throughout the year, resulted in a huge win this week.

Thanks to the Maryland Freedom Caucus, the Wagner power plant in Anne Arundel County can now operate at peak capacity, with no caps imposed by legal settlements or “green energy mandates”, through October.

They’ll continue to fight until energy is affordable and reliable once again.

HELP US GROW

Summer is almost over.  Now is the time to help us grow and expand into new states while keeping our current states 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,

Andy Roth

President

State Freedom Caucus Network
