ACTION: Stop Election Theft Bill

The U.S. Senate will have their first hearing on H.R. 1/S. 1, the Legalized Election Theft bill, tomorrow in the Rules Committee. You and I must act quickly to stop this bill in its tracks! If there is one bill in 2021 that could permanently scar the fabric of the Constitution, it’s H.R. 1/S. 1, which already passed the House. H.R. 1/S. 1 not only institutionalizes many questionable election processes that were fraught with the most controversy in 2020, but it’s also a direct attack on the 1st Amendment and the right to dissenting political speech. As Chairman of Campaign for Liberty, I wrote a letter, which will be delivered the members of this committee, describing specific examples of how this bill would silence political speech with fear and intimidation of activist groups just like this one. Both sides of the aisle should be against this bill, simply based on its flagrant disregard of the 1st Amendment. Unfortunately, all but one Democrat Senator has signed on to S. 1 as a cosponsor! That’s why I’m asking for your immediate action in calling all the following members of the Rules Committee to demand they oppose H.R. 1/S. 1: Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) (202) 224-3244 Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) (202) 224-3841 Chuck Schumer (D-NY) (202) 224-6542 Mark Warner (D-VA) (202) 224-2023 Patrick Leahy (D-VT) (202) 224-4242 Angus King (I-ME) (202) 224-5344 Jeff Merkley (D-OR) (202) 224-3753 Alex Padilla (D-CA) (202) 224–3553 John Ossof (D-GA) (202) 224-3521 These members and their colleagues on the left are making a move for permanent one-party rule, and I’m afraid they’re close to getting their way with H.R. 1/S. 1. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) sounded the alarm last week in an op-ed about just how horrific this bill would be:

This bill has so many bad ideas in one package including:

The so-called “For the People Act” empowers federal regulators to categorize and regulate speech, including online. That means Campaign for Liberty could be in legal jeopardy for running our critical candidate survey program so you will know where candidates stand on issues important to you. . . Not only that, but merely telling you how your legislators voted on legislation could become a CRIME! That’s why I’m asking for your immediate action in calling these members of the Senate to demand they reconsider their support for the very dangerous H.R. 1/S. 1. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) (202) 224-3244 Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) (202) 224-3841 Chuck Schumer (D-NY) (202) 224-6542 Mark Warner (D-VA) (202) 224-2023 Patrick Leahy (D-VT) (202) 224-4242 Angus King (I-ME) (202) 224-5344 Jeff Merkley (D-OR) (202) 224-3753 Alex Padilla (D-CA) (202) 224–3553 John Ossof (D-GA) (202) 224-3521 Our elections were never meant to be “nationalized” in this way. The U.S. Constitution clearly states that elections are to be held and electors for the presidential election chosen by the manner in which the state legislature prescribes. H.R. 1 /S. 1 would completely turn this on its head and force states to adopt rules for their elections that many of them do not want or are in the process of remedying because of flaws they have discovered. H.R. 1 /S. 1 would thwart those efforts by the states and even counties to rectify issues they may have discovered or will discover as investigations, hand re-counts and court cases continue in Arizona, Michigan, and others. Considering the sidestepping of the Constitution on locally controlled elections and the attack on political speech, this bill should be opposed by all sides. I am urging all members of the Senate to oppose this reckless bill and appreciate your support in doing so as well.
