This Week in Woke Capitol: A Hot Mess

 

Typically, Members of Congress take a break from Washington, D.C.
during the hot month of August. But this year is different- much
different. Congress was hard at work in our nation's capital,
but in all the wrong ways. And it's a mess.

Two big spending bills were passed in the Senate this week.

First, the Senate - including 19 Republicans- voted to pass its
$1 trillion infrastructure bill. The bill retains "sexual
orientation" and "gender identity" language. These
are the same words used in the federal Equality Act, which Americans
have spoken decisively against.

In fact, thousands of you continue to speak out against this agenda.
Just this week alone, Family Policy Alliance supporters sent over
26,000 messages to Congress to oppose this radical Equality Act
Language in the infrastructure bill.

The infrastructure bill has been sent to the House and we will keep
you updated as the fight continues.

Second, after the Democrat-led Senate passed the infrastructure bill,
they moved on to the $3.5 trillion Fiscal Year 2022 budget. 

Thankfully, there is some good news! Senator James Lankford (OK)
successfully led an amendment to the budget resolution which prohibits
the use of taxpayer dollars for abortions. Senator Lankford's
amendment also protects the conscience rights of health care providers
from being forced to participate in abortions. This is an important
step towards protecting the Hyde Amendment in federal spending.

Another positive amendment that was added to the Senate budget
resolution was by Senator Tom Cotton (AR), which prohibits taxpayer
funds from being used to promote Critical Race Theory in
prekindergarten, elementary, and secondary schools. 

Both of these important amendments prove that conservatives still have
the ability to win key battles - even with  radical Congressional
leadership.

That's it for the highs and lows in Congress this week.
Here's a look at Congress' upcoming forecast:

Before the Senate adjourned until September, they placed S1, the
"Corrupt Politicians Act," on the Senate Calendar. A vote
on the Senate floor could be imminent when they return in September.
S1 is an attempt at a dangerous federal election takeover. This
legislation will increase voter fraud, politicize elections, and more.

The House is also working overtime by returning earlier than planned
on August 23rd. Reports show they plan to take on the 2022 Fiscal Year
Budget and radical election changes similar to S1, the "Corrupt
Politicians Act," as well.

While Congress takes the next week to cool off, our team is getting
warmed up for the long fights ahead. Babies in the womb and future
generations of Americans are worth protecting- no matter how heated
the battle becomes.

For faith, family, and freedom,
