Dear ,
This week, Joe Biden laid out his full socialist plan for more than $6 trillion in spending. The sheer audacity of his plans to massively grow government would bankrupt generations. Working together, we can stop the Left's latest agenda to fundamentally transform America.
Here's what we've been up to this week:

**Nolan Center for Justice**
==============================
On Wednesday, the Tennessee legislature approved two key pieces of Governor Bill Lee’s criminal justice reform package: [the Alternatives to Incarceration Act and the Reentry Success Act]([link removed]). Focusing on non-violent offenders, these bills are intended to safely reduce unnecessary incarceration in Tennessee and ease transition back into society.
Just a few weeks ago, the Governor’s CJR package was teetering on collapse as a result of opposition from a small number of vocal prosecutors. However, ACU and its partner “Right on Crime” engaged in a full court press. [ACUF’s Patrick Plein testified before the legislature]([link removed]) about our conservative approach to criminal justice.
[Pat Nolan joined former Texas Governor Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich on a panel moderated by Governor Lee]([link removed]) to explain how we can lower incarceration rates and improve public safety results.
And David Safavian drafted [an op-ed that ran in all three major Tennessee papers]([link removed]), explaining why the Volunteer State needs to improve its criminal justice system. Wednesday’s vote was a big win not just from a policy perspective, but for the ACU brand, as this package of bills would not have made it to the Governor’s desk, but for our coordinated efforts in the state.
As always, ACU is committed to advancing conservative policies, and we thank you for supporting our efforts.
***Will you [chip in today]([link removed]) to support ACU and CPAC programming?***
In Freedom,
