Fellow Conservative,

On Thursday night, Heritage Action hosted a packed room of over 500 citizens in Delaware for a “Save Our Schools” event to combat critical race theory. The lineup of speakers included local parents who shared their personal experiences, Heritage Foundation scholars, business owners, and former members of the military.

Key Vote: CRT in the Military

The Heritage Action Scorecard tracks many of the most defining votes in each session of Congress. Before important votes come to the floor, we issue a Key Vote recommending to legislators how they should vote and why—it also serves as a notice that the vote will be included on the scorecard.

From time to time, we will also put out a Key Vote Cosponsorship, encouraging members to cosponsor a bill, as a way to build support and energy to help it receive a vote, and hopefully adoption into law. That’s what we did this week!

We are including cosponsorship of Combating Racist Training in the Military Act of 2021 (S. 968 / H.R. 3134) on our scorecard. We are asking all members of Congress to back this legislation to keep CRT out of the military.

Why did we choose this bill? Because, even with a Democrat-controlled Congress, there is a strategic path to victory for this bill in 2021. Congress is working on passing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and Democrat Leadership will likely need Republican support to get it across the finish line. This creates leverage for conservatives, and an opportunity to add this bill as an amendment. That’s why we are key voting this bill—to build support TODAY.

There are additional anti-CRT bills worthy of support, that we make mention of in our “ Reject CRT toolkit.” It’s important we do all we can to keep CRT out of our military, schools, and government. And remember, there is much you can do at the state and local level to combat CRT as well.

>>> See if your Senators and Representative have cosponsored
>>> Call and urge them to sign on (If they have already cosponsored, thank them!)

And thank you to Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Rep. Dan Bishop (R-Ind.) for introducing this legislation!

"Infrastructure"

The Senate this week moved forward with an infrastructure-in-name only package that includes more money for climate change funding, electric car subsidies, and Amtrak earmarks than it does for roads, bridges, and highways.

By agreeing to move forward on this package, the Senate is unwittingly helping the radical Left pass the larger, $3.5 trillion grab bag of socialist policies...a true “trojan horse”.

With Bidenflation on the rise, this is a reckless spending spree that won’t trickle down to workers’ wallets. Rather, Americans will be feeling the pain for generations as they work to pay off the debt.

Reckless spending is only one part of Biden’s agenda that is squeezing workers’ paychecks and making it harder for families to make ends meet. Learn more and come out to see on on our Save Our Paychecks tour – sign up for more info at saveourpaychecks.com

Protect Hyde – No Taxpayer $$$ for Abortion

Democrats in Congress rejected Americans in their minibus package this week, leaving out key policies that the majority of Americans support and instead funding far-Left pet projects. The biggest concern in this minibus package is the direct support for the abortion industry.

Two key pro-life provisions that this package left out include:

1. The Hyde Amendment. The Hyde Amendment, which has been in place since 1976 restricts the federal government from funding abortions with taxpayer dollars.
2. The Mexico City Policy. The Mexico City policy was put in place under the Trump and prevents U.S. taxpayer money from going to fund abortions in other countries.

Protecting life, saving our elections, stopping CRT, controlling spending, ensuring we have police—Grassroots conservatives are leading on all these cultural fights. It is moving the conversation in Washington and bolstering conservative lawmakers as they stand up against Biden’s agenda.

Keep up the great work!
