  • MAP Act Coalition Letter Freedomworks
    April 13, 2021 Dear Members of Congress, We, the undersigned organizations representing millions of Americans nationwide highly concerned by our country’s unsustainable fiscal trajectory, write in support of the Maximizing America’s Prosperity (MAP) Act, to be introduced by Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) and Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.). As we stare down a mounting national debt of over $28 trillion, the MAP Act presents a long-term solution to our ever-worsening spending patterns by implementing a Swiss-style debt brake that would prevent large budget deficits and increased national debt. Since the introduction of the MAP Act in the 116th Congress, our national debt has increased by more than 25 percent, totaling six trillion dollars higher than the $22 trillion we faced less than two years ago in July of 2019. Similarly, nearly 25 percent of all U.S. debt accumulated since the inception of our country has come since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now more than ever, it is critical that legislators take a serious look at the fiscal situation we find ourselves in, with a budget deficit for Fiscal Year 2020 of $3.132 trillion and a projected share of the national debt held by the public of 102.3 percent of GDP. While markets continue to finance our debt in the current moment, the simple and unavoidable fact remains that our country is not immune from the basic economics of massive debt, that history tells us leads to inevitable crisis. Increased levels of debt even before a resulting crisis slows economic activity -- a phenomenon referred to as “debt drag” -- which especially as we seek recovery from COVID-19 lockdowns, our nation cannot afford.

  • Minimum Wage Coalition Letter Freedomworks
    June 23, 2021 Dear Members of Congress, We, the undersigned organizations representing millions of Americans nationwide, write in blanket opposition to any increase in the federal minimum wage, especially in such a time when our job market needs maximum flexibility to recover from the havoc wreaked on it by the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Workers must be compensated for their labor based on the value that said labor adds to their employer. Any deviation from this standard is harmful to workers and threatens jobs and employment opportunities for all workers. Whether it be to $11, $15, or any other dollar amount, increasing the federal minimum wage further takes away the freedom of two parties to agree on the value of one’s labor to the other’s product. As a result, employment options are restricted and jobs are lost. Instead, the free market should be left alone to work in the best interest of employers and employees alike. While proponents of raising the minimum wage often claim to be working in service of low-wage earners, studies have regularly shown that minimum wage increases harm low-skilled workers the most. Higher minimum wages inevitably lead to lay-offs and automation that drives low-skilled workers to unemployment. The Congressional Budget Office projected that raising the minimum wage to $15 would directly result in up to 2.7 million jobs lost by 2026. Raising it to $11 in the same time frame - as some Senators are discussing - could cost up to 490,000 jobs, if such a proposal is paired with eliminating the tip credit as well.

  • Taxpayers Oppose Hike in the Federal Gas Tax
    Illinois Policy Institute August 21, 2007 An Open Letter to the President and Congress: Taxpayers Oppose Hike in the Federal Gas Tax Dear President Bush and Members of Congress: On behalf of the millions of taxpayers represented by our respective organizations, we write in opposition to proposals that would increase the existing 18.4 cent-per-gallon federal excise tax on gasoline. One legislative plan promoted by Representative James Oberstar would temporarily increase the federal gas tax by 5 cents per gallon to fund bridge repair around the country. We are extremely concerned that this “temporary” tax increase would turn into a permanent one. After all, President George H.W. Bush’s “temporary” gas tax increase of 5 cents per gallon in 1990 never went away as promised, while lawmakers “repurposed” President Clinton’s 4.3 cent-per-gallon hike when the budget seemed headed toward a surplus. Proponents of a federal gas tax increase insist that few would even notice the change in their fuel bills. In reality, a 5 cent-per-gallon jump would represent a steep 27 percent tax hike over the current rate and cost American motorists an estimated $25 billion over the next three years. Combined with state gas taxes, many motorists would pay over $7.50 in taxes for the average fill-up. This is a substantial burden on families trying to make ends meet and only makes gas prices harder to stomach. Given high energy costs, now is the time to give taxpayers a lighter – not a heavier – gas tax burden. 1 We also reject the notion that there isn’t enough money available for infrastructure upkeep.

  • Around the Campfire, Issue
    Issue No. 42 January 20, 2013 End Welfare Subsidies While it is often thought that there is no socialist strength in America and that “welfare as we know it” is dead, a mighty block of U.S. senators, representatives, and state governors shove a lineup of socialism, welfare handouts, and entitlement rights. They fly below the radar screen of folk and news-business awareness because they cowl their Big Mother scam with high-flying ballyhooing of the free market, individual rights, and no governmental butting-in. I am not talking about an undercover cell of Maoists, but about pork-barrel “conservatives.” Mike Smith, an assistant secretary of the Department of Energy in the Bush Junior administration, laid out their goal in one talk, “The biggest challenge is going to be how to best utilize tax dollars to the benefit of industry.”[1] Anticonservation attorney Karen Budd-Falen stamps her foot down that federal land agencies must “protect the economic or community stability of those communities and localities surrounding national forests and BLM-managed lands.”[2] Then-Senator Frank Murkowski of Alaska (later governor), at a Senate Energy and Natural Resources subcommittee hearing on the Forest Service, January 25, 1996, said, “These people [loggers in southeast Alaska] are great Americans. Blue collar Americans. They work hard and look to us for help. We should be able to help them.…I have constituents out there who are real people, and they are entitled to a job.…These people rely on the government to provide them with a sustainable livelihood.”[3] It might be fair for Murkowski to call on the federal government to underwrite jobs for his folks.

  • December 14, 2011 Hon. Douglas H. Shulman Commissioner Internal
    December 14, 2011 Hon. Douglas H. Shulman Commissioner Internal Revenue Service Room 3000 IR 1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20224 Lois Lerner Director of the Exempt Organizations Division Internal Revenue Service 1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20224 Re: Request for IRS investigation into whether certain section 501(c)(4) organizations are operating in violation of tax exempt status Dear Commissioner Shulman and Director Lerner: We are writing to supplement our letter to the Internal Revenue Service of September 28, 2011. In the September 28th letter, Democracy 21 and the Campaign Legal Center called on the IRS to investigate whether four organizations – Crossroads GPS, the American Action Network, Americans Elect and Priorities USA – are operating in violation of their claimed tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code because each organization is engaging in far more political activity than the Code allows for “social welfare” organizations. These groups are claiming section 501(c)(4) tax status in order to keep secret from the American people the donors financing their expenditures to influence federal elections We previously wrote to the IRS on October 5, 2010 asking for an investigation of Crossroads GPS and its eligibility to receive section 501(c)(4) tax status. We also wrote to the IRS on July 27, 2011 challenging the IRS regulations on eligibility for section 501(c)(4) tax status as not properly implementing the law. We are writing today to provide additional information on the political activities of three of the four groups addressed in our September 28th letter, the American Action Network, Americans Elect and Crossroads GPS that further demonstrates that these groups are not entitled to section 501(c)(4) tax-exempt status.

  • NOTABLE NORTH CAROLINA 12 Things to Know About Former North
    NOTABLE NORTH CAROLINA 12 Things to Know About Former North Carolina 11th District Congressman and New Presidential Chief of Staff Mark Meadows1 Compiled by Mac McCorkle, B.J. Rudell, and Anna Knier 1. Friendship with His Recently Deceased Counterpart on the House Oversight Committee, Congressman Elijah Cummings (D‐MD) Despite political differences, Rep. Meadows and recently deceased Democratic Congressman Elijah Cummings (D‐MD) developed an uncommonly strong friendship that helped bridge partisan divides on the procedures of the House Oversight Committee. NPR | Washington Post 2. A Founder of the House Freedom Caucus Along with outgoing Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney (a former South Carolina congressman), Rep. Meadows was one of the nine founding members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus in January 2015. Time | Washington Post | Pew Research Center 3. Support for Governmental Shutdown in the Cause of Limited Government A GOP attempt to stop implementation of the Affordable Care Act resulted in a 16‐day government shutdown in October 2013. As a newly elected representative, Rep. Meadows helped galvanize the effort by circulating a letter urging the GOP House leadership to take action. The letter gained signatures of support from 79 GOP House members. CNN | Fox News | New York Daily News | Asheville Citizen‐Times 4. Meadows Versus GOP House Speaker John Boehner On July 28, 2015, Rep. Meadows introduced H. Res. 385 to “vacate the chair”—a resolution to remove Speaker John Boehner. No House member had filed such a motion since 1910. Boehner announced his resignation as Speaker less than two months later on September 25, 2015. New York Times | National Review | Ballotpedia 1 For historical background on recent chiefs of staff, see Chris Wipple, The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs Define Every Presidency (2017).

  • The Long New Right and the World It Made Daniel Schlozman Johns
    The Long New Right and the World It Made Daniel Schlozman Johns Hopkins University [email protected] Sam Rosenfeld Colgate University [email protected] Version of January 2019. Paper prepared for the American Political Science Association meetings. Boston, Massachusetts, August 31, 2018. We thank Dimitrios Halikias, Katy Li, and Noah Nardone for research assistance. Richard Richards, chairman of the Republican National Committee, sat, alone, at a table near the podium. It was a testy breakfast at the Capitol Hill Club on May 19, 1981. Avoiding Richards were a who’s who from the independent groups of the emergent New Right: Terry Dolan of the National Conservative Political Action Committee, Paul Weyrich of the Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress, the direct-mail impresario Richard Viguerie, Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum and STOP ERA, Reed Larson of the National Right to Work Committee, Ed McAteer of Religious Roundtable, Tom Ellis of Jesse Helms’s Congressional Club, and the billionaire oilman and John Birch Society member Bunker Hunt. Richards, a conservative but tradition-minded political operative from Utah, had complained about the independent groups making mischieF where they were not wanted and usurping the traditional roles of the political party. They were, he told the New Rightists, like “loose cannonballs on the deck of a ship.” Nonsense, responded John Lofton, editor of the Viguerie-owned Conservative Digest. If he attacked those fighting hardest for Ronald Reagan and his tax cuts, it was Richards himself who was the loose cannonball.1 The episode itself soon blew over; no formal party leader would follow in Richards’s footsteps in taking independent groups to task.

    TO: President Joseph R. Biden The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20500 CC: Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken US Department of State 2201 C Street, NW Washington, DC 20520 Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas US Department of Homeland Security 245 Murray Lane, SW Washington, DC 20528 July 21, 2021 Dear President Biden: The Value Our Families Campaign and the undersigned national, state and local organizations, write to urge you to take administrative action to ensure that all immigrant visas (family-based preference, employment-based and diversity visas) are processed up to the numerical limits this fiscal year. We also urge you to support any Congressional efforts to recapture unused visas or otherwise increase green card numbers. If your administration does not take action by September 30th, 2021, we will lose immigrant visas that are in high demand and add to an already expanding backlog. We would like to thank you for rescinding some of the harmful immigration policies enacted by the Trump administration and for expanding immigration pathways through the DHS Plan to Restore Trust in Our Legal Immigration System. Our campaign is heartened by the Biden administration’s actions to rescind the public charge rule and end the health care proclamation, as well as reported plans to reduce administrative and financial barriers to immigration, expedite the backlog of immigration requests, restore asylum protections, and revamp the U-visa program to better protect undocumented immigrants who are victims of crime.1 Furthermore, we fully support the administration’s plan to expand immigration opportunities for LGBTQIA refugees who face persecution in their home countries.2 1 Michael D.
