FREEDOM

The real threat to democracy comes from the progressive left.

Biden government bureaucrats threatened social-media companies with retribution, including antitrust lawsuits, if they do not censor speech that progressives dislike.

I support H.R. 140, the Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act to prohibit federal officials from censoring speech.

I oppose over regulation by unelected members of an “administrative state.”

One example is a proposed 696-page rule requiring all passenger cars to achieve 66.4 miles a gallon.  Another is a proposed 236-page policy requiring all federal agencies to consider “environmental justice.”  Still another is the intention of the Environmental Protection Agency to enforce a climate agenda though “a suite of rules” with no credible connection to climate. Congress never approved of this but the EPA is proceeding anyhow, ignoring recent Supreme Court rulings about the limits of bureaucratic authority.

This is administrative tyranny of the worst kind.

I support H.R. 277, the Regulations from the Executives in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2023, which would require congressional approval for new “major rules” proposed by federal agencies.
