    Committee Tax” How the Parties Pressured Legislative Leaders to Raise Huge Sums of Campaign Cash During the 116Th Congress — and Are Poised to Do So Again This Year

    New Congress, Same “Committee Tax” How the parties pressured legislative leaders to raise huge sums of campaign cash during the 116th Congress — and are poised to do so again this year By Amisa Ratliff One of the open secrets of Washington is that both the Democratic and Republican parties strong-arm influential legislators to raise astronomical amounts of campaign cash. Referred to as paying “party dues,” lawmakers are pressured to transfer huge sums from their campaigns and affiliated PACs to the parties as well as spend countless hours “dialing for dollars” to raise six- and seven-figure amounts for the parties, often by soliciting corporations, labor unions, and other special interests that have business before Congress. These fundraising demands have morphed into a “committee tax” levied Approximately $1 of by the political parties onto legislators. The more influential the role in every $5 spent during Congress, the more money party leaders expect legislators to raise, with the last election cycle by committee chairs being expected to raise more funds than other members several top Democratic of their caucus. This is especially true for the chairs of the most powerful and Republican committees in the U.S. House of Representatives — the Appropriations, lawmakers were simply Energy and Commerce, Financial Services, and Ways and Means Committees, transfers to the DCCC which are sometimes referred to as “A” committees for their prestige and and NRCC. influence. In fact, according to a new analysis of campaign finance filings by Issue One, approximately $1 of every $5 spent during the 2019-2020 election cycle by several of the top Democratic and Republican lawmakers on these exclusive “A” committees were simply transfers to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).
  • Midterm Elections

    Midterm Elections

    Immigration and the 2010 Midterm Elections INTRODUCTION Immigration had a significant impact on the 2010 elections and is now a top election issue. Certainly the economy and unemployment were the dominant issues across the nation, but more candidates campaigned on immigration than in past elections. They posted position statements on their campaign websites, dedicated precious resources to radio and television commercials on the issue, and some even used the issue to attack their opponents in a manner that may have made the crucial difference in the outcome. In addition, immigration was a frequent topic of debate, not only in official settings, but at campaign stops. Often the question asked was whether a candidate supported Arizona’s new immigration enforcement law, SB 1070. The popularity of SB 1070, combined with brutal drug cartel violence along the Southern border, a high unemployment rate, and strong voter disapproval of President Obama’s handling of the immigration issue, meant that candidates could not avoid the issue as easily as in previous elections. To be sure, there were candidates who were intentionally vague or entirely silent on immigration. This was especially so in close races where committing to amnesty would likely alienate independent voters critical to pulling out a victory. In other instances, candidates would give conflicting statements, such as voicing their opposition to amnesty while in the same breath supporting “comprehensive” immigration reform (interpreted by voters as amnesty). In other cases, candidates simply didn’t take an official stand. Overall, however, FAIR’s midterm election analysis shows that support for immigration controls was a common denominator among winning candidates.

    July 21, 2021 Dear Leaders of Democratic States

    July 21, 2021 Dear Leaders of Democratic States: In the streets of Cuba, the people are bravely marching for a new day of freedom and demanding an end to the illegitimate, brutal Cuban dictatorship. After more than six decades of brutally oppressive rule, the Cuban people are risking their lives to loudly denounce the disastrous communist regime that has time and time again failed to promote and protect the general welfare of its citizens. The people are shouting “libertad,” and demanding freedom, democracy and human rights. As the Cuban people risk their lives for freedom, the world must stand with them in this critically important moment. As the democratically-elected leaders of the world’s free countries, we write to you today to fervently implore you to take action in support of the Cuban people and their democratic aspirations. It is time to finally end the evil and murderous reign of the communist, illegitimate Cuban regime that has murdered, tortured and oppressed for far too long. In concerted solidarity with the Cuban people, we believe there are four essential actions that we all must take immediately to promote freedom for the Cuban people and place further pressure on the corrupt and murderous Cuban regime to end its reign of terror. First, we urge you to emphatically denounce the illegitimate Cuban regime, hold it accountable for its human rights abuses and immediately end diplomatic relations. Freedom-loving nations must make clear our full and unwavering support for Cuba's pro-democracy movement, and for free and fair elections, with international supervision.

Six years of funding will allow families the comfort of knowing that their children will get the health care they need and will allow state governments to plan for health care costs and manage their budget needs wisely. Our broad and diverse coalition represents of child health advocates, family doctors, pediatricians, community clinics, large and small hospitals and many others who have seen first-hand that CHIP, or CHP+ as Colorado’s program is called, has made a genuine impact on tens of thousands of Colorado kids and their families as well as the pregnant women the program serves. Across its nearly 20-year history, CHIP has enjoyed bipartisan support because it increases health insurance coverage for children and helps working families while resembling a private insurance plan through membership fees and co-pays. Even in our current, deeply divisive political environment, there is no reason CHIP should not continue to enjoy this kind of support.

    August 17, 2021 President Joe Biden Executive Office of the President 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Biden, Yesterday, you announced to the American people that part of our remaining mission in Afghanistan is to evacuate our Afghan allies and other vulnerable Afghans to safety outside of Afghanistan, and that our troops are securing the airfield to ensure the continued operation of civilian and military flights for that purpose. We write with a critical request: that the United States must do everything possible to securely hold the airport in Kabul until the rescue mission is complete and our citizens, allies, and vulnerable Afghans have had an opportunity to leave. We trust that the previous August 31st deadline you imposed on our military mission will not apply to this effort, and that we will stay as long as is necessary to complete it. In furtherance of this mission, we will need to be clear with the Taliban that they must allow safe passage of Afghans needing evacuation to the airport, and that they will face grave consequences if they threaten our troops or impede our evacuation efforts. We also urge you to allow SIVs and vulnerable Afghans slated for evacuation to stage at the airport for as long as necessary until their turn comes to get on a plane, so that they are not forced to hide in Kabul and to brave Taliban checkpoints later. We recognize that this is an extremely difficult endeavor. But it would be unconscionable and devastating to our credibility to leave our allies behind, given the commitments we have made.

This is the first time I am hearing from some members of the delegation requesting that I end enhanced unemployment benefits in Colorado. Congress shouldn’t be paying out these benefits if they do not want states to use it. If Colorado ended these benefits prematurely, it would harm individuals, business owners, and the broader economy. These funds have, and continue to, stimulate the economy and bring struggling businesses back from the brink. We are focused on swiftly and effectively distributing millions in relief from federal stimulus received by the state and I appreciate the work of those in the federal delegation that sought to ensure Colorado received this much needed funding. If Congress would like to increase the flexibility on how Colorado could use the $600-800 million that the state will currently receive as enhanced unemployment funds, Colorado would be interested in other uses, but it would be dumb for Colorado to simply send this money back to Washington. Even though more Coloradans are returning to full-time work after this global pandemic, it doesn’t mean their financial challenges are going to simply disappear. Colorado was one of the earlier states to reinstate the requirement that all unemployment beneficiaries must actively search for a job to qualify for benefits.

    Senator Michael Bennet Senator Cory Gardner Representative Diana DeGette Representative Doug Lamborn Representative Ed Perlmutter Representative Jason Crow Representative Scott Tipton Representative Joe Neguse Representative Ken Buck Re: Assistance with Fiscal Relief Funds for Cities and States Dear members of the Colorado Congressional Delegation: Thank you for your leadership and for your efforts in supporting our frontline response efforts with the passage of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The bipartisan partnership of the Colorado delegation is our strength, and that is why I am writing to request your immediate assistance in helping the City and County of Denver combat the growing local impacts from the COVID-19 outbreak. Mayors across this nation, myself included, believe it was a lost opportunity when Congress could not reach agreement on the inclusion in the interim bill on emergency fiscal relief of sorely needed funds for cities and states. That is why I am asking that you redouble your efforts to reach an agreement as soon as possible. The impact on local budgets and local economies is only worsening as we continue to deal with the ongoing impacts of COVID-19. On behalf of the people of Denver, I ask that you expeditiously pass legislation to provide direct financial aid to our communities for lost revenues and mounting expenses. The people of Denver are resilient, and many are on the frontline of fighting this crisis. As Mayor, my administration is taking the necessary steps to keep our city safe by temporarily shuttering restaurants, bars, retail establishments and other venues where large groups of people could gather; closing schools; and issuing stay-at-home orders.
