I’m heading to the House floor shortly to vote AGAINST the Democrats’ ultra-liberal election bill known as H.R. 1. Despite Republicans being opposed to this bill, it will likely pass the Democrat-majority House, and then we’ll see what happens after that.

This week, the House is considering yet another coronavirus spending bill.  This will be in addition to the $4 TRILLION that’s already been allocated.  Never mind that more than a trillion of that hasn’t even been spent yet – Democrats want to add another $1.9 trillion to the tab.

This is the Democrats’ signature piece of legislation this Congress – hence their designation as H.R. #1.   Informally it’s known as the “For the People Act.” Because who would ever vote against something that’s “for the people,” right?
