Reining in Reckless Washington Spending
|
|
On Monday, March 11, White House Office of Management and Budget Acting Director Russ Vought presented to Congress President Trump's Fiscal Year 2020 Budget of the United States Government. It addresses wasteful Washington spending (balances the budget in 15 years, saving $2.7 trillion), strengthens our southern border (funds 722 miles of border wall with a new $8.6 million request), promotes a healthy American economy and maintains a strong national defense.

House Democrats Priorities in the Months Ahead
|
|
H.R. 1 is a massive government overhaul to update voting rights, campaign finance and ethics laws. The
Conservative Action Project released a Memo for the Movement with over 100 signers highlighting that this bill causes sweeping and irrevocable damage to the free speech privacy and integrity that are central components to free and fair elections in America. Also,
The Heritage Foundation published a fact sheet. Below is a video from the Republican Study Committee (RSC) Action Team to push back against H.R. 1 (Democrats call the bill "For the People Act," however, it is more like "For the Politicians Act").

President Trump Fulfills CNP Action, Inc. Request!

President Trump and Leadership Institute
Field Representative Hayden Williams
|
|
At the
Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), President Trump brought
Leadership Institute Field Representative Hayden Williams on stage to use him as an example of the need for protected free speech on college campuses.
Hayden was punched in the face on the campus of University of California at Berkeley for helping conservative students organize a new conservative group. To protect free speech, President Trump announced he would soon sign an
executive order requiring colleges to take measures to protect our Constitutional right to free speech if they want to continue receiving federal money. This happens to be an action step that was developed during an Action Session at a past Council for National Policy (CNP) meeting!
CNP Action, Inc. hosts Action Sessions at each CNP meeting to provide attendees with actionable information to help make a difference on a variety of important issues. Below are the titles of the most recent Action Sessions. If you would like to review the action steps, simply click on the links.
