Protect the Right to Life Bill Hagerty’s Blueprint To Protect The teamhagerty.com Right To Life My Fellow Tennesseans, As a fourth-generation Tennessean, I am proud of the Christian, conservative values that my parents instilled in me that I continue to hold dear. These precious values guide Chrissy and me as we raise our four children. Our aim is to pass these core values onto them. One of those fundamental values is the right to life. Tennesseans value life; we believe that all people— including the unborn — are valued. Our God-given rights to liberty and the pursuit of happiness are meaningless without the right to life. It is the first in our Constitution and the most valuable. Sadly, this right has become increasingly threatened by the liberals in Washington. It is deeply troubling to hear them argue that abortion is a human right. Abortion is not a human right; it takes a human life. I believe that you can judge a nation by how it treats its most vulnerable people—“even as you have done to the least of these” is a creed I live my life by. I support life and in the U.S. Senate, I will be a voice for the voiceless, and am not ashamed to say that I believe every person—born and unborn—has a right to life. 1 I am proud to have the complete and total endorsement of President Donald Trump, the first sitting president to speak at March for Life, the largest annual gathering of pro-life supporters. President Trump understands that every life has immeasurable worth and potential, and he is leading our fight for the right to life. While in office, President Trump has nominated more than 250 constitutionalist judges to protect the right to life, established a coalition of 24 nations to eliminate the concept of abortion as a human right and declared January 22nd National Sanctity of Life Day. In the Senate, I will work with President Trump to protect the rights of our unborn. The stakes of the 2020 election could not be higher. My opponent has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood, which performed nearly 350,000 abortions in 2019. We must not allow the radical liberal agenda to destroy our Tennessee conservative values. In our home state, Governor Bill Lee and General Assembly leaders introduced one of the most comprehensive, pro-life legislative packages to date. Once again, Tennessee is leading the way when it comes to advocating for the right to life. We must defend our Tennessee values and take a strong stance against the infringement of the rights of the most vulnerable among us. 2 Now more than ever is the time to be a voice for the voiceless. It is time for those who believe in the intrinsic value of life to fight back against the abortion industry, and Tennesseans are ready. I am grateful to belong to a state with conservative, Christian values, and I carry these Tennessee values with me as I seek to represent you in the U.S. Senate. As your Senator, I will work to protect the right to life by: Defunding Planned Parenthood Stopping Taxpayer-Funded Abortions Reclaiming The 14th Amendment For Our Unborn Confirming Constitutionalist Judges Passing Pain-Capable Legislation Requiring Medical Care For Babies Born Alive As A Result Of A Botched Abortion 3 As we continue to release more policy blueprints detailing how I will serve you in the United States Senate, I ask you to reach out to me and share the issues that are most pressing for you so we can implement real solutions. In the Senate, I will work for you, but in order to do that effectively, I must have your help and input. I am grateful to the Tennesseans who provided their perspective for this blueprint, and I look forward to seeing you all on the campaign trail, so we can talk more about how I will stand with President Trump to protect the right to life. If you ever need to reach me, my email is [email protected]. Bill Hagerty 4 Defund Planned Parenthood I have always said that abortion is not a human right; it takes a human life. That is why I believe it is crucial to defund big abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood, which performed nearly 350,000 abortions in 2019. Using federal funds to keep these organizations running is morally and fiscally indefensible. My opponent is endorsed by Planned Parenthood and will continue the socialist Democrats’ agenda to prop up the abortion industry. We must not allow that to happen. In the Senate, I will work to ensure Planned Parenthood is defunded - once, and for all - so that your taxpayer dollars are never used for abortions, and every child’s right to life is protected. 5 Stop Taxpayer-Funded Abortions As a father of four, I am alarmed by how fervently radical liberals are fighting to keep abortion as a key tenet in their socialist platform. They want taxpayer-funded abortions for anyone who seeks one. Ilhan Omar and “The Squad” support taxpayer-funded abortions for illegal aliens, while Bernie Sanders goes as far as advocating for increased abortions to achieve his goal of population control. We must not allow this attack on the most vulnerable among us to be fueled by taxpayer dollars. When I get to the U.S. Senate, I will fight back against the radical socialist agenda to put an end to taxpayer- funded abortions. 6 Reclaim The 14th Amendment For Our Unborn The 14th Amendment clearly says that no state shall “deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” An unborn baby is a human being, therefore, abortion is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. Abortion takes a human life, and we must strive to put an end to it. As a father of four precious children, I am 100 percent pro-life, and I will always fight to be a voice for our voiceless and defend their right for due process. 7 Confirm Constitutionalist Judges To secure the protection of our unborn, we must have in place constitutionalist judges who will support the right to life. The Democrats have made their plans clear: to impeach Supreme Court justices and pack the federal bench with liberal activist judges. That’s why President Trump has endorsed my campaign. He knows Tennesseans value constitutionalist justices on the Supreme Court and justices in the federal judiciary who support the right to life. With future appointments to the Supreme Court and federal bench, the President and Senate will dictate the shape of the court for years to come. We need to ensure those justices and judges are not liberal activists. Tennessee needs a Senator who will vote to confirm constitutionalist justices and judges who respect the rule of law. 8 Pass Pain-Capable Legislation Growing up with Tennessee values, I understand the importance of the right to life, which is why I am appalled that Democrats want to see abortions conducted after 20-weeks of pregnancy and will go so far as to allow infanticide. At the age of 20 weeks, scientific evidence tells us an unborn child can feel pain through physical, chemical, brain and stress responses, demonstrating pain at this stage of development. Pain-Capable legislation makes it unlawful to perform an abortion after 20 weeks for that reason. Passing this legislation is necessary in order to protect unborn children from painful and untimely deaths, and as your Senator, I will stand alongside Marsha Blackburn to fight for this protection and more. 9 Require Medical Care For Babies Born Alive As A Result Of A Botched Abortion Babies born as a result of a botched abortion should receive the same medical care as babies born at that stage of pregnancy. Period. But too many on the radical Left are fighting to ensure that does not happen. In neighboring Virginia, the Governor spoke out in support of infanticide. This year, Democrats blocked a bill that would secure medical care for children born alive as a result of a botched abortion. This legislation was designed to ensure that every newborn baby has a fighting chance, whether born in a hospital or an abortion clinic. Make no mistake, the radical liberals want to allow abortion up to the minute a baby is born, and even the minute after. Their lack of regard for human life is deeply troubling. When I get to the Senate, I will stand up against their radical socialist agenda and be a voice for the voiceless. 10 I am proud to have the complete and total endorsement of President Donald Trump, the first sitting president to speak at March for Life, the largest annual gathering of pro-life supporters. President Trump understands that every life has immeasurable worth and potential, and he is leading our fight for the right to life. BILL HAGERTY 11 Bill Hagerty has earned President Trump’s “complete and total” endorsement and has been appointed to the Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups - the task force advising President Trump on re-opening the economy.

  • Mcconnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117Th Congress
    For Immediate Release, Wednesday, February 3, 2021 Contacts: David Popp, Doug Andres Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn McConnell Announces Senate Republican Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress Praises Senators Crapo and Tim Scott for their work on the Committee on Committees WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following the 50-50 power-sharing agreement finalized earlier today, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced the Senate Republican Conference Committee Assignments for the 117th Congress. Leader McConnell once again selected Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) to chair the Senate Republicans’ Committee on Committees, the panel responsible for committee assignments for the 117th Congress. This is the ninth consecutive Congress in which Senate leadership has asked Crapo to lead this important task among Senate Republicans. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) assisted in the committee selection process as he did in the previous three Congresses. “I want to thank Mike and Tim for their work. They have both earned the trust of our colleagues in the Republican Conference by effectively leading these important negotiations in years past and this year was no different. Their trust and experience was especially important as we enter a power-sharing agreement with Democrats and prepare for equal representation on committees,” McConnell said. “I am very grateful for their work.” “I appreciate Leader McConnell’s continued trust in having me lead the important work of the Committee on Committees,” said Senator Crapo. “Americans elected an evenly-split Senate, and working together to achieve policy solutions will be critical in continuing to advance meaningful legislation impacting all Americans. Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit our nation, our economy was the strongest it has ever been.

  • Community Banks, Credit Unions Will Have Until 2023
    In classic Greek mythology, a golden apple of discord inscribed "For the fairest" was awarded to Aphrodite, beginning a chain of events that led to the Trojan War. GrayRobinson's newsletter reports on the most recent issues, individuals, and discourse deemed fairest in Washington. July 19, 2019 Community banks, credit unions will have until 2023 to comply with CECL The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) voted on Wednesday to postpone the compliance date for its current expected credit loss (CECL) standard to 2023 for small public banks, privately held banks, and credit unions. Large publicly traded banks will still have to comply in 2020. FASB issued new guidance to answer questions that have emerged about the implementation of CECL, and will conduct a series of workshops on CECL around the country. Details of those workshops should be announced “in the coming weeks,” a media release said. “What is Libra?” Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, asked Facebook’s David Marcus to define the proposed digital currency at a marathon hearing on Wednesday. Marcus called Libra “a reserve-backed digital currency,” but said that it should not be regulated as a security, a commodity, or a bank deposit. A second panel of witnesses before the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday afternoon said that Libra would be an exchange-traded fund (ETF) or mutual fund, rather than a true cryptocurrency, and should be regulated that way. Marcus had appeared before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday to explain Facebook’s plans to skeptical legislators; Senator Sherrod Brown, the panel’s ranking member, compared Facebook to “a toddler with a book of matches.” Legislators on both sides of Capitol Hill and both sides of the aisle excoriated Facebook for its history of misusing customer data, as early word circulated about a potential $5 billion Federal Trade Commission (FTC) fine against the company.

  • Fed Will Review Comments on OCC/FDIC CRA
    In classic Greek mythology, a golden apple of discord inscribed "For the fairest" was awarded to Aphrodite, beginning a chain of events that led to the Trojan War. GrayRobinson's newsletter reports on the most recent issues, individuals, and discourse deemed fairest in Washington. February 14, 2020 We congratulate Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), who became the longest-serving member of the Senate Banking Committee in history this week with a tenure of approximately 33 years, one month, and one week. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-AL) noted the milestone at a hearing on Wednesday. Shelby joined the Banking Committee in January 1987, and chaired the Committee from January 2015 to January 2017. Shelby’s time on the Banking Committee now exceeds that of Senator John Sparkman (D-AL), who served on the Committee from 1947 to 1979. Fed will review comments on OCC/FDIC CRA proposal before moving ahead In testimony before the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs this week, Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome H. Powell said the Federal Reserve would hold off on proposing its own reforms to Community Reinvestment Act regulations until they see the comments on the proposal released by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Powell agreed it would be best for all three agencies to agree on joint reforms, but noted that even the OCC/FDIC proposal would create two compliance regimes, as approximately 70% of supervised institutions would have the option to continue under the current evaluation system.
