H.R. 1, the deceptively named “For the People Act,” would do immense damage to our freedom of speech, freedom of association, and election integrity.
Ironically, while claiming to help “election integrity,” H.R. 1 would dramatically increase donor disclosure requirements, severely limiting the ability of non-profit organizations and the individuals who support them to engage in public debate on important issues, including abortion and religious liberty. It would effectively put a target on the backs of those who refuse to bow to cancel culture.
H.R. 1 is also a federal power grab that cripples states’ ability to run elections and increases the likelihood of voter fraud. It would hamper states’ ability to determine voters’ qualifications, ensure the accuracy of voter registration rolls, and determine the district boundary lines for electing their representatives. It would also allow individuals to vote without an ID and would permit online voter registration that is not tied to an existing state record such as a driver’s license. These examples are just the tip of the iceberg!
Please contact your representative today and tell them to oppose H.R. 1!
