Dear John,
Right now, House Democrats in Washington are lining up the $1 trillion infrastructure bill that the Senate passed last month. As we told you before, it’s bad news. Not only will the bill increase the national budget deficit, which has already ballooned to three times the 2019 level, it contains a poison pill that advances the goal of the Equality Act: the total overhaul of our federal civil rights framework to mandate special privileges based on LGBT identities!
Delegate Norton works for you and needs to hear from you. The House is supposed to vote on the bill this coming Monday.
Besides the enormous price tag, this bill advances an aggressive leftist agenda that seeks to mandate an ideology about marriage and human sexuality across the nation. It does this by elevating “sexual orientation and gender identity” (SOGI) to protected classes in federal law. Time and again, people of faith have found themselves targeted by so-called SOGI laws; florists, bakers, and t-shirt makers were only the start. More recently we have seen the harmful effects this agenda has on women as it seeks to mandate gender identity ideology which strips women of their rights, privacy, and safety.
But wait, it gets even worse. Like their Senate counterparts last month, House Democrats in Washington are pairing this “deal” with an even more massive $3.5 trillion partisan bill, led by Senator Bernie Sanders, they plan to pass without any Republican votes. That bill will contain a liberal wish-list that reportedly includes universal pre-K beginning at age 3, teacher certification programs that can be used to promote and/or mandate Critical Race Theory and gender ideology, provisions that elevate and mandate the LGBT agenda in various capacities, provisions that undermine the sanctity of marriage, potentially direct funding for abortion in Medicaid, and making the Affordable Care Act’s expanded abortion subsidies permanent. The infrastructure bill facilitates that wish list by separately funding hard infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc.).
In essence, by signing off on the infrastructure bill last month, Senate Republicans gave liberal Democrats more room to push for harmful policy priorities, and the House must not do the same. Some Senate Republicans insisted the two are separate bills, but President Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have repeatedly promised to pair them in a massive liberal wish list.
Please take a moment right now to make your voice heard! The link below will allow you to email Delegate Norton. It’s vital that they hear from you today!
