Pelosi’s so-called “Equality” Act (H.R. 5)—On Thursday, the House passed H.R. 5. This bill is disguised as a champion for equality, but in reality it radically redefines gender in society and includes provisions that would endanger women and girls, crowd them out of women’s sports, and limit the free exercise of religion.
We released a Key Vote against H.R. 5 and you can see how your representative voted on our scorecard. Only three House Republicans joined Democrats in voting for the Equality Act, showing a united front that refused to give into the Leftists’ woke pressure.
Importantly, three Republican congressmen who voted “Yes” on the bill in 2019 did the correct thing and voted “No” on Thursday. Winning representatives back to the right side of an issue is only possible when conservative activists like you continue to bring attention to the issue. Well done!
Pelosi’s $1.9 Trillion Payoff to Progressives—Last night, House Democrats passed a bill they claim to be COVID relief, but in reality, less than 9% of the money is directly for combatting the coronavirus. It’s mostly a Leftist payout to their supporters, a progressive wishlist that will bankrupt America. Read our Key Vote here.
Included is $130 billion for K-12 funding without requiring schools to reopen, a $15 minimum wage which will make it even harder for already struggling small businesses to survive, another round of stimulus checks, and paid time off for ONLY federal employees with children whose schools aren’t open. But again, this bill doesn’t tie any school funding towards requiring schools to reopen—it’s madness!
Also Included is a $350 billion bailout for state and local governments, but the heavily indebted big Liberal states like California, New York, and Illinois are undeserving of a bailout. Their fiscal insanity predates the pandemic, and it's their own fault they closed down their economies and dried up their own tax revenues. Perhaps they should have ignored mainstream media and been more like Florida.
