Friends,
You’ve heard about it in the news. The Biden Administration recently attempted to implement a truly absurd rule that would increase fees on responsible homeowners to subsidize those with bad credit. As if hardworking families haven’t suffered enough in Joe Biden’s America, now they wanted to punish those who take care of their credit and harm future mortgage borrowers.
In response, all 11 State Freedom Caucuses signed a letter to FHFA Director Sandra Thompson demanding they rescind this terrible new regulation. It wasn’t long after that they did just that.
Freedom Caucuses don’t just make a difference at the state level. When they raise their voices in opposition to the horrible policies of the Biden Admin, they get results for you at the federal level too.
Arizona:
It’s no surprise, but Democrats are furious at the Arizona Freedom Caucus. The AZFC negotiated a budget with Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs that protected the state’s school choice program. Most Democrat lawmakers opposed the bill because they are owned by the teachers’ union. The budget, sponsored by AZFC Chairman Jake Hoffman, also delivered some serious tax relief – to the tune of $260 million. The state’s most toxic leftist columnist said Hobbs “got rolled” by the AZ Freedom Caucus.
The AZ Freedom Caucus also led the way on House passage of HB 2545. The bill would prevent the state from enforcing any rules created by international public health entities like the progressive World Health Organization. The AZFC helped write the bill, pushed it to the House floor, and got it over the finish line.
This is one example of our state freedom caucuses echoing support for the House Freedom Caucus in Washington. HFC member Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona is the lead sponsor of HR 79, a bill that would require the United States to immediately withdraw from the WHO. The Network also is helping other state freedom caucuses pass similar legislation.
South Carolina:
The Palmetto State wrapped up its legislative session last week. You may recall that the year began with the RINO leadership in the House kicking the SC Freedom Caucus out of the GOP caucus for refusing to sign their loyalty pledge to never criticize a fellow Republican. Liberal Republicans were constantly undermining the good work of the SC Freedom Caucus throughout the session.
But the good news is that the conservative grassroots is livid with the RINOs.
The York County GOP became the sixth county Republican Party in SC to officially censure the House GOP leadership. This follows similar moves by Lexington, Anderson, Newberry, Pickens, and Greenville. Together, these counties represent over 1.4 million people. That’s almost 30 percent of South Carolina’s popular. And it represents a huge portion of the state’s Republican base.
Pennsylvania:
The PA Freedom Caucus is taking on two particularly egregious left-wing agendas in the Keystone State.
Rather than address skyrocketing crime, Democrats in the legislature are attempting to repeal the state’s “Stand Your Ground” law, that allows you to legally defend yourself from being attacked.
In addition, every PAFC member voted against funding Penn State University due to their hospital’s policy of providing sex changes to children. More on that to come this week.
Louisiana:
The Bayou State’s legislature just began its session and things are already heating up. In our last email, we talked about the madness that occurred at the Capitol after the LA Freedom Caucus led the charge to stop the grooming of children in schools and ban sex changes for minors.
A lot of victories have already occurred, such as bills passed banning covid vaccine mandates forever, bumping up the penalties for fentanyl dealers, and requiring financial literacy courses in schools.
More will be coming down the pipeline very soon so stay tuned.
Idaho:
Since the Idaho legislature is out of session, two of our IDFC members traveled to the southern border to witness the crisis unfold firsthand following the end of Title 42.
Keep fighting,
Andy Roth
President
