Dear John,

 

Fresh off their efforts in support of a COVID-19 relief package that will be the biggest source of government funding for abortion and the abortion industry in 10 years, Senate Democrats may now try to ram through another catastrophic bill known as H.R. 1, which would cripple states’ ability to run their own elections.

 

They may try to alter the filibuster to do it. Appearing on “Meet the Press” this past Sunday, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia hinted at doing so:

 

“I’m willing to look at any way we can. . . . There’s no need for us to go to reconciliation until the other process has failed. That means the normal process of a committee, a hearing, amendments.”

 

This means that Senate Democrats are looking at trying to tamper with the traditional 60-vote threshold for certain votes, which would enable them to ram through their progressive wish list on H.R. 1 and perhaps other bills like the Equality Act.

 

Please contact your senators today and tell them to oppose H.R. 1! This bill, the deceptively named “For the People Act,” would do immense damage to our freedom of speech, freedom of association, and election integrity.

 

It even contains a religious test for certain redistricting commissions set up by the bill.

 

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 senators today and tell them to oppose H.R. 1.
