Hello, Friends —

Next week, Congress reconvenes in Washington D.C., where we will consider the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for final passage in the House of Representatives. After a 16-hour markup in the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) in June, I am proud to have secured over $592 Million for the Northwest Florida Military Mission. In addition to this essential funding for Florida's First District, I have filed several amendments for the NDAA next week that would help steer America's military in the right direction. 

IMPORTANT NDAA AMENDMENTS SET FOR FINAL PASSAGE IN THE HOUSE

As the NDAA heads to the House floor for final passage, I am reintroducing amendments that are vital for the protection of our servicemembers from tyrannical Covid-19 vaccine mandates, as well as protecting the Florida Gulf's Military Mission Line from offshore drilling, and more. Below are the amendments I have filed for consideration during this coming week's full consideration of the NDAA: 

1) Combats extremism in the military should not be a top priority for the Department of Defense.

2) Expresses that Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin misled the Committee on Armed Services, the Congress, and the American people on the hypersonic capabilities of the United States.

3) Demands that members of the Armed Forces should not be discharged for refusing the vaccine for COVID-19, that those who have been discharged should be reinstated with their time and rank restored, and should be given back pay.

4) Prohibits funding for the purposes of a permanent change of station for a member of the Armed Forces when the reason for the change of station is a member's disagreement with state and/or local law.

5) Requires the Secretary of Defense to rescind the Covid vaccine mandate for members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force within 30 days.

6) Establishes a moratorium on new oil and gas leasing east of the military mission line in the Gulf of Mexico through 30 June 2032.

I had the privilege of joining "Real America with Dan Ball" on One America News Network, where I discussed my bill, the "Disarm the IRS Act", which I introduced to crack down on the Internal Revenue Service purchasing millions of dollars worth of ammunition. Also, Dan and I addressed recent remarks made by Joe Biden's Director of the National Economic Council about upholding the "liberal world order," and what dark implications it could have for the economy and the future of our freedoms.
