Patriot,
We're down to the last three weeks of 2022: the last three weeks
of the congressional term.
But that doesn't mean we can let up . . . because Congress is
not.
This week, the "omnibus" spending bill will command the full
attention of the Big Spenders in Washington, D.C.
Action is coming this week. Congress only has until Friday the
16th to either pass a budget, which will fund the government
through September 2023, or, if a compromise can't be reached,
they'll have to pass another "continuing resolution" to fund the
government for a short duration.
The Democrats are losing power in the House of Representatives.
And they haven't been shy about wanting to cement the legacy of
Nancy Pelosi with some big spending in the closing weeks of her
speakership.
As of right now, we don't know everything that will be in the
bill because once again Congress hasn't told us much, but reports
suggest it will include:
>>> $38 billion more for Ukraine. This is on top of the tens of
billions we the taxpayers have already squandered in Ukraine,
perpetuating our proxy war that has devastated the country and
does nothing to actually help the Ukrainian people.
>>> Billions more for the IRS. The government already funded the
hiring of 87,000 new IRS agents this year in the falsely named
"Inflation Reduction Act." Now they will want even more money to
harass American taxpayers and extract your money with deadly
force.
>>> The Electoral Count Reform Act, which would prohibit state
legislatures from choosing their slate of electors and transfer
that power to governors. This is in violation of the U.S.
Constitution, which specifies that the state legislatures shall
direct the manner of appointing electors.
>>> Funding drag shows in Ecuador. And there are plenty of
earmarks for even more radical left-wing ideology in the bill.
Reports also indicate the bill will grant millions to left-wing
non-government organizations and institutions. $1.2 million would
go to "LGBTQIA+ Pride Centers" and another $1.2 million to
"Dreamer Resource Centers" at the University of San Diego. $3
million would go to the "American LGBTQ+ Museum."
$477,000 would be granted to the "Equity Institute" to "work
directly with schools, organizations, and communities to develop
and implement antiracist strategies to advance equitable learning
outcomes for all students." $2 million would go to the "Great
Blacks in Wax" museum in Baltimore.
Retiring Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) even had the gall to
request $1.6 million for the Leahy Center, named after himself.
Perhaps these pet projects are all good and fine, if the citizens
in those communities want them, but they are not projects the
government should ever be funding with your money.
Additionally, the spending bill would grant $3 million for water
infrastructure in a part of Alaska that is so sparsely populated
that the $3 million appropriation is the equivalent of $44,000
per resident. Sounds like the infamous "Bridge to Nowhere" all
over again.
And nobody knows what else they'll slip in there. An assault
weapons ban that Joe Biden is calling for?
Sources say an assault weapons ban is unlikely . . . but
remember, weak Republicans have betrayed our Second Amendment
rights before . . . and not long ago. And if the gun-grabbers see
this as their best chance to act, don't think they won't pounce
at the opportunity.
Remember, Republican Senators Marco Rubio (FL), James Lankford
(OK), Susan Collins (ME), and Pat Toomey (PA) cosponsored
legislation to open criminal investigations into 100% of
background check denials as a stand-alone bill, even though
government studies show 9 out of 10 times these denials are false
positives.
Many of these "Republican in Name Only" senators voted to confirm
the anti-Second Amendment Merrick Garland for Attorney General
last year (Blunt, Capito, Collins, Cornyn, Ernst, Graham,
Grassley, McConnell, Moran, Murkowski, Portman, and Thune).
Patriot, we will need to monitor this spending bill every day,
hour by hour, to prevent statist goodies and attacks on our
constitutional rights from being quietly slipped into the bill.
With massive spending bills like these, the situation is always
extremely fluid, so please expect critical action alerts this
week.
And since Congress has a track record of dropping bills like this
monstrosity on us in the middle of the night with little time to
react before they vote . . .
You and I MUST stay vigilant to the very end of this session.
Can we count on your support today to help us mobilize patriots,
on an emergency basis if necessary, to push back against the
worst aspects of the spending bill?

We had some success on the National Defense Authorization Act
last week. After fighting for weeks, we were able to prevent a
Digital ID proposal, a stepping stone to a Central Bank Digital
Currency, from being incorporated into the NDAA.
We also got a provision to expose women to the military draft
removed. And while we fought for a total BAN on military vaccine
mandates, we were able to pass a repeal on the current mandate.
We'll continue to fight to remove the most odious aspects from
the upcoming spending bill this week.
Please chip in a generous contribution if you can to help us
close out this year with another victory. Can we count on your
support of $100, or even $50 or $25?
