What Newt's Thinking

Congress Must Reject Cowardice

Author’s note: Greetings,

Below is the as-prepared statement I made to a House Committee hearing on the question of remote voting in Congress. This is an important issue, and I wanted to make sure as many Americans were aware of it as possible.

Thanks,

Newt

Statement by Former Speaker of the US House of Representatives Newt Gingrich Committee on House Administration

July 17, 2020

Remote Voting

Thank you for allowing me to testify even if virtually. I am still in Rome, where my wife Callista is the Ambassador to the Vatican, and I appreciate the opportunity to participate.

We have all learned through the virus-driven period of isolation and quarantine that there are many electronic systems for distance communication, including FaceTime, Zoom, GotoMeeting, Skype, and a host of competitors. Some major universities and schools have learned to use distance learning with great effectiveness.

I have always favored the use of distance communications for learning. That is why I think it is appropriate to gather information with distance witnesses for committee hearings. However, the question of remote voting in a legislative body raises a different issue that is separate from convenience of technological capability.

Legislative bodies have a long and profound history in the emergence of freedom and self-government. Whether they were in Greek city states or in the Senate of the Roman Republic, the existence of legislative bodies were a powerful invention to involve citizens in their own government and to enable elected officials to work together in understanding and solving problems.

For China, Repression at What Cost?

By Aaron Kliegman

This week, however, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the UK is banning Huawei’s equipment from its network. British telecom operators must stop buying 5G equipment from Huawei by the end of the year and need to remove all of Huawei’s existing gear from the network by 2027. What explains the sharp reversal? To start, President Trump and his administration deserve credit.

Newt's Latest Book on President Trump and the American Future

Order Now: Trump and the American Future: Solving the Great Problems of Our Time

Everything is changing.

From the spread of the coronavirus, to the highs and lows of the economy, and on to the election, 2020 will continue this process of change.

We don’t know yet which way the American people will go, but we can describe what is at stake as the radical democratic left continues to go all out to destroy President Trump and his followers. This wild period of change has been intensified by the virulent spread of COVID-19, but its roots go back to the summer of 2015.

This book puts this kaleidoscope of change into context and outlines the choices Americans face in what may be the most decisive election of our lifetimes. No presidential contest since 1860 has presented the American people with a decision more definitive than the 2020 election offers. It is the radical democratic left vs President Trump.

To understand what is at stake, and what must be done, read this book and share it with your friends and neighbors.
