House Republicans Are Fulfilling Our Commitment To A Future That’s Built on Freedom & A Government That’s Accountable
Washington, D.C.,
March 9, 2023
House Republicans will be fulfilling our commitment to a future that’s built on freedom and a government that’s accountable by voting on the Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act and the WOTUS Congressional Review Act Resolution of Disapproval.
FULFILLING OUR COMMITMENT TO A FUTURE THAT’S BUILT UPON FREEDOM WITH H.R 140 The Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act expands the Hatch Act - the law prohibiting federal employees from engaging in political activities in their official capacity - to expressly prohibit government officials from using their authority or influence to promote censorship of speech or pressure a social media company to censor speech. MAKE NO MISTAKE: From pressuring Twitter to silence dissenting COVID-19 opinions, to the Department of Homeland Security’s proposed “Disinformation Governance Board,” the Biden Administration and the Far Left have infringed upon Americans’ First Amendment rights. House Republicans are working to create a future that’s built on FREEDOM, not government censorship. BIG TECH COLLUSION & CENSORSHIP:

RES. 27 The Biden Administration's decision to change the definition of the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) to include everything from streams to small creeks and puddles expands unelected bureaucrats' control over families, small businesses, farmers, ranchers, homebuilders, infrastructure builders, and states and local communities across the country. IT'S SIMPLE: Hardworking Americans don't need more government red tape. This WOTUS rule is nothing but a costly and burdensome overreaching federal power grab that tramples on the property rights of Americans. Our farmers and ranchers already have a vested interest in ensuring clean water and are the best conservationists in the nation, but this rule assumes that unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. know better.
