State Legislators: Don’T Restrict Free Market Enterprise State Legislators: Don’t Restrict Free Market Enterprise The American Legislative Exchange Council is America’s largest nonpartisan, voluntary membership organization of state legislators dedicated to the principles of limited government, free markets and federalism. Comprised of nearly one-quarter of the country’s state legislators and stakeholders from across the policy spectrum, ALEC members include policymakers representing more than 60 million Americans and businesses employing more than 30 million people. On behalf of ALEC and its members, we strongly condemn the recent decision by Airbnb to begin denying service to Jewish-owned properties in Judea and Sameria (The West Bank). This abhorrent decision is both discriminatory in nature and bad as a matter of business. We stand firmly in support of free market enterprise and advocate commercial policies that defend our citizens and state economies. Accordingly, twenty-six of our American states, both blue and red, have now joined the Federal government in implementing laws opposing commercial discrimination against parties who do business in Israel. Airbnb’s new policy is unquestionably discriminatory. Under this policy, an American owner of a rental property located in a majority-Jewish community in the West Bank would be barred from listing on Airbnb. In addition to discriminating against Jewish persons, we note that this policy would also prevent Christians from staying in these communities when visiting important heritage sites in places such as Bethlehem and Nazareth. Yet at the same time, Airbnb continues to welcome the listing of a property in immediately neighboring Palestinian Authority-controlled locales, where the PA in fact violently enforces a discriminatory policy barring all land sales to Jews. It must also be highlighted that Airbnb has singled out Israel alone for this discriminatory treatment. While the company has stated, “each situation is unique and requires a case-by-case approach,” so far the only country facing delisting is the Jewish state. Airbnb continues to list properties in other disputed regions, such as Western Sahara, northern Cyprus, Kashmir, and Tibet among other such places. We stand unabashedly with Israel and remain firmly opposed to discrimination against Jews, Christians, and all other persons. As state government officials, we wish to put Airbnb on notice that they have run afoul of public policy, and likely the law in many jurisdictions, and that we will be pursuing action to protect our citizens and state economies from its discriminatory policy. It is our hope that Airbnb will quickly realize that it has erred in adopting its new policy, and consequently reverse its decision to engage in discrimination. Sincerely, Alabama Alaska Rep.

  • Progress Report to Highlight the Issues (I.E
    ONE STEP FORWARD, TWO STEPS BACK FOR CLEAN ENERGY? Representatives Dean Arp, John Szoka, and Sam Watford introduced House Bill 589, “Competitive Energy Solutions for North Carolina” during the 2017 session. This bill took small steps towards increasing the role solar plays in the state’s energy mix by creating a competitive bidding process and by expanding rooftop solar. Senator Harry Brown added a moratorium on wind energy projects, claiming NC’s military operations would be under threat by wind turbines. Senator Brown used the once bipartisan supported clean energy bill as an attempt to pit solar against wind. Governor Cooper refused to allow Brown to claim victory: after signing H589 into law, Cooper immediately issued an executive order to the Dept. of Environmental Quality asking for the expedition of wind project permits. No 18-month ban will stop this clean energy source from moving forward. WATER, AIR, AND HEALTH Legislators continued to put the water, air, and health of North Carolinians at risk throughout the 2017 legislative long session. State lawmakers approved a bill that would allow companies to spray “garbage juice” into our air; passed a policy that limits the amount of financial compensation a resident or property owner can receive for detrimental health and livelihood impacts in hog pollution or other nuisance cases; and thumbed their noses at local control over environmental safeguards by prohibiting state regulators from making stricter water quality rules than the federal standards (assuming those even exist). Overall, leaders of the General Assembly showed a lack of empathy for their constituents and clear preference for polluters with deep pockets in 2017.

    October 20, 2015 The Honorable Greg Abbott Office of the Governor P.O. Box 12428 Austin, Texas 78711-2428 Mr. Chris Traylor Executive Commissioner Texas Health and Human Services Commission 4900 N. Lamar Blvd. Austin, TX 78751-2316 Dear Governor Abbott and Commissioner Traylor: The Texas Conservative Coalition (TCC) applauds the decision by HHSC’s Inspector General to issue a Notice of Termination to the state’s Planned Parenthood affiliates, which sets in motion the process to end the organization’s enrollment in the Texas Medicaid program. Based on the evidence presented in the Inspector General’s (IG) notice, we agree that Planned Parenthood affiliates “are no longer capable of performing medical services in a professionally competent, safe, legal, and ethical manner.” Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid violations are serious and several: altering the timing and method of abortion, in violation of federal law, in order to procure fetal tissue; failing to abide by public health precautions that prevent the spread of infectious disease; and failing to abide by mandatory staff training requirements. These violations were partially demonstrated in video footage released earlier this year by the Center for Medical Progress. Having seen those recordings, some of which were filmed in Houston, we ardently feel that there must be consequences for revealed practices that not only shock the conscience, but are also against the law. The termination, thus, strikes us as necessary and appropriate. Additionally, we continue to be greatly disturbed by news of illegal billing and fraud performed by Planned Parenthood, of which the Inspector General has received new information.

    April 29, 2020 The Honorable Greg Abbott Governor of Texas P.O. Box 12428 Austin, TX 78711 Delivered via Email Dear Governor Abbott: Long-term care facilities like nursing homes, state supported living centers, and group homes are now the epicenters of the COVID-19 pandemic. While media outlets have rightly focused on the deaths in nursing homes across the country, people with disabilities and older adults face increased risks in all institutional and congregate settings. Like nursing homes, there have been similar outbreaks and deaths in our state supported living centers, state hospitals, and group homes. Our state government can and must do more to protect our most vulnerable Texans. That is why we respectfully request the following critical measures to defend our elderly Texans, Texans with disabilities, and the Texans on the frontline serving these communities. • Immediate additional funding through an emergency Texas Medicaid rate increase for long-term and intermediate care facilities to help cover increased costs for direct-care staff wages and personal protective equipment (PPE); • Greater transparency in the reporting of COVID-19 deaths and cases in nursing home facilities, state supported living centers, state hospitals, and group homes; • Mandatory available COVID-19 testing for every employee and resident of a nursing home facility, state supported living centers, state hospitals, or group home in Texas. Thank you for your consideration of our request, and ensuring Texas protects our most vulnerable. Please do not hesitate

The first section examines the location of the members of the Texas Senate and of the Texas House on the liberal-conservative dimension along which legislative politics takes place in Austin. In both chambers, every Republican is more conservative than every Democrat and every Democrat is more liberal than every Republican. There does, however, exist substantial ideological diversity within the respective Democratic and Republican delegations in each chamber. The second section explores the extent to which each senator and each representative was on the winning side of the non-lopsided final passage votes (FPVs) on which they voted.
