No Security Should Equal No Funding in D.C.
It's time to use the "power of the purse" to reign in the Radical Left.
Members of Congress will return to DC next week to pick up where they left off: the Appropriations Fight.
It is here that Congress will decide if we do business as usual … continuing to fund a weaponized DOJ, continuing to fund the invasion at the border, continuing to hire and promote within the Dept of Defense based on one’s sexual identity and race rather than on their ability.
Essentially, your Representative will decide if he/she is willing to STOP funding the systemic assault on our liberties and our future.
Speaker McCarthy, will do everything he can to avoid the fight.
He’s been posting rabidly on the platform formerly known as Twitter, trying to convince you he is working for your interests. Meanwhile, it looks like he is working with Democrats again, specifically Chuck Schumer, to get the votes for a Continuing Resolution. A CR means we continue to fund not only our woke and weaponized Federal Bureaucracies, but we also continue to pour hundreds of billions of dollars into unauthorized appropriations.
The Department of State will continue to distribute your tax dollars through grant to nonprofits that advance radical gender theory, race theory, and LGBTQ activism. Other DoS grants will go to nonprofits that push for open borders policies through the Migration and Refugee Assistance programs.
Congress will continue to use tax dollars to fund the CDC, which targeted us for spreading Covid “disinformation.” Biden recently admitted he is asking Congress for more money for vaccines, which somehow he already knows everyone will need.
They will continue to use OUR tax dollars to fund programs like Head Start, a government-run preschool program within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) known to produce negative participant outcomes. Head Start has been so detrimental to children, it hasn’t been formally re-authorized since 2007 because of the scrutiny it has received.
When will elected Republicans stand up to this madness?
THE 300
Representative Byron Donalds recently told us that Members of Congress need to hear from roughly 300 people in each district for their concern to be addressed. Don’t be mad. He was just be honest. It should inspire us to know the goal. (Start video at 58:47)
To that end, I’m writing to ask you to please share this message. And then ask the people you share it with to ask their friends to share the message. And then hundreds of people per Congressional District must contact their Representative.
This is our moment
This is our moment to activate to show our House Representatives we know what’s possible. THIS is what’s possible:
We can withhold money from DHS unless they secure the border
We can withhold funding from DOJ & FBI to force the end of the weaponization
We can withhold funding to force the DOD from implementing their Woke Agenda
We can prevent omnibus spending
We can oppose a blank check for Ukraine
Establishment Members of Congress will say we have to compromise. They’ll say we “have” to pass a CR or government will shut down.
Let it shut down.
The truth is, Republicans in Congress have powerful tools at their disposal to win this appropriations fight. They just need to be willing to fight instead of giving in before the fight even begins.
Use the Tools
The most effective tool Republicans in Congress can use is the “power of the purse” to defund agencies that have gone rogue.
The next powerful tool to use is the Holman Rule to essentially “line item veto” a person, program or department. Finally, they can motion to vacate the Chair.
But there are other strategies. They can take advantage of new House rules that empower members to target unauthorized appropriations
Congress has the power to stop the absolute calamity we see in D.C., but they need to hear from you. FROM A LOT OF YOU.
Contact your Member of Congress. Tell them NO to a Continuing Resolution and YES to defunding the people, programs, and departments that have been weaponized against us.
The future of our country is no longer secure.
Our border isn’t secure. Our elections aren’t secure. Our liberties aren’t secure. Haven’t you had enough?
Tell Congress you support the position of the House Freedom Caucus: No Security. No Funding.
I’ve included a few graphics for you to download. We have one week before Congress returns. Spread the message. And then contact your Representatives in Congress.
They need to hear from hundreds of people in their districts.

This is nonsense. As a Republican, I support the DOJ.
The geographical border states have an obligation to protect the foreign borders that abut their jurisdictions, and all the states have effectively become border states with the federal efforts to move illegal immigrants into them. Defunding federal law enforcement should be used selectively when its activities are counterproductive to a sane immigration policy which protects US citizens first.
