Fellow Conservative, liberals in Congress refuse to confront the threat of China. In fact, they seem to be on a mission to empower the Chinese Communist Party!
Last week, the House passed the so-called America COMPETES Act that they claimed would put limitations on China.
But let’s just be real about what it really does… it rehashes Democrats’ failed initiatives like BBB and the Green New Deal and unfairly burdens businesses and the American worker with spending and regulations in the pursuit of “competition” with China. FIGHT BACK >>
Here are some of the worst provisions:
-
Establishes a new visa program to allow wealthy foreigners to purchase visas, start a company in the U.S., and acquire additional visas to import more foreign labor, potentially putting thousands of Americans out of work!
-
Provides billions of U.S. tax dollars to climate initiatives that are unrelated to China (Solyndra 2.0?).
-
$8 billion for the U.N. Green Climate Fund.
-
$2 billion annually in foreign aid for other countries to fight climate change.
-
$15 million annually for solar panel subsidies.
-
Establishes a diversity grant program under the National Science Foundation and creates the new position of chief diversity officer.
-
Directs NIST to extend grants and partnerships to labor unions to improve “employee engagement” — a blatant union payoff.
-
A new visa program for doctorate students in science without restrictions on foreign nations who have made it clear they will steal our science and technology - like China!
-
Authorizes the Treasury department to essentially ban ANY cryptocurrency they deem a threat to national security.
This bill does NOT help America compete AT ALL! It’s nothing but a payout for big tech, woke universities, and other Left-wing special interest groups. It might as well be called the CONCEDES act!
America cannot afford for this to become law. And if you agree, we need your signature today to help us put the pressure on the senate to kill this bill!
ADD YOUR NAME: DON’T LET CHINA WIN >>
Fellow Conservative, make no mistake...
Our nation is, and will remain, in a long-term strategic competition with China.
It is one of the most serious threats facing our nation and each day that passes without serious action sees our competitive disadvantage grow.
That's why we must be smart about how it is handled.
Please, sign your name to encourage Congress to return to the drawing board and make meaningful investments in America’s ability to remain competitive with China, instead of passing nearly 3,000 pages of dangerously misguided policy: https://heritageaction.com/support_02-11-2022/
Thank you in advance for your support.
