At a time when businesses are struggling and families are trying to get back on track amid the COVID-19 pandemic, H.R. 1 is the last thing we need. It’s a partisan bill that would completely undermine security in America’s elections.
Speaker Pelosi and the House Democrats are rushing to jam H.R. 1 through Congress. In fact, EVERY single House Democrat has already added their signature to support this bill.
This bill will have huge consequences for the American people and for future elections and that’s why Mike is pushing back.
H.R. 1 is a brazen, partisan attempt to transform America’s elections. It puts the Democratic party’s agenda over the needs of the American people. It would federalize our elections in a way that benefits Democrat politicians and is aimed at guaranteeing their re-election, not ensuring the integrity of our democracy or your vote.
This bill would have major consequences for Americans and is full of progressive pet projects. It is the exact kind of political game-playing that Americans hate coming from Washington, and we must stand against it.
When you dig a little deeper, H.R. 1 shows it’s true colors. There are too many progressive agenda items to count, but we broke down the ten most egregious partisan handouts below.
- Want to donate to a leftwing politician with government money? No problem — H.R. 1 has you covered. The bill contains a 6X taxpayer-funded match for every small-dollar donation under $200 to a congressional or presidential campaign.
- Creates a $25 voucher for every single eligible voter. They can donate this campaign coupon to any political campaign in the country.
- Creates vulnerabilities in our election systems and threatens the integrity of our democracy by forcing states to allow online, automatic, and same-day voter registration without adding any additional resources to protect against fraud.
- Limits free speech and imposes vague restrictions on advocacy groups, handicapping their work.
- Does not provide states the necessary resources to defend their election systems and processes against threats from at home and abroad.
- Turns the Federal Election Commission into a partisan, left-leaning operation that will limit free speech.
- Expands “no excuse” absentee voting and allows for any registered voter to cast their ballot by mail — this means fewer people will vote in person on Election Day, and our elections will be less secure.
- Weakens voter ID laws and allows sworn statements to be used instead of a photo ID.
- Circumvents the powers protected under the Constitution by limiting states’ control over their registration and voting practices.
- Violates the Constitutional separation of powers by creating ethics standards for Supreme Court justices.
H.R. 1 is a partisan sham and Mike is fighting it tooth and nail. Will you join him by adding your name below?
