The conservative House Freedom Caucus should do everything it can to “slow down the Biden regime’s devastating policies” in the next Congress, Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs told Just the News.
The caucus currently has 42 members, and it could become even larger after the Nov. 8 election. For comparison, the Tea Party Caucus established in 2010 during the presidency of Barack Obama had 60 members in 2011 , when the GOP took control of the House due, in large part, to the passage of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
By 2013, the caucus had dwindled to 48 members. Former House Speaker John Boehner often wrestled with Tea Party Caucus members to garner enough GOP votes to pass spending bills and raise the debt ceiling.
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry released a memo recently to assist newly elected conservative lawmakers in navigating the legislative process. It encourages them to push back on the status quo in Washington.
“This memo is important because it helps members understand what they may be up against in their efforts to keep their campaign promises,” said Biggs, a member of the caucus and its former chairman.
“For all members it’s a reminder that we have a tremendous responsibility and opportunity to do all we can to slow down the Biden regime’s devastating policies,” he added. “We have to keep the trust of those who elect us by being active in the fight to restore this nation.”
The latest election forecasts are pointing to GOP House majority of between 221 and 232 seats.
“Republicans must be united in opposition,” the memo urges, “and allow our incoming freshmen reinforcements to arrive and take our anticipated majority in January so that they and the voters who will send them to Washington can have a voice on legislation to fund the government as […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
