Now is the time to pass the MERIT Act

October 16, 2018 Washington, DC Conservatives have long advocated for reform of our civil service to address a system plagued with inefficiency and abuse. Currently, managers within the federal government struggle to fire underperforming employees. This is no more evident than by the public sector firing rate of 3.37% and the private sector firing rate […]

Confirm Judge Kavanaugh

September 27, 2018 Washington, DC There are few issues that unite conservatives more than filling judicial vacancies, especially Supreme Court vacancies, with highly qualified judges who have a demonstrated record of honoring the Constitution, fairly applying the law and not using the bench to legislate or impose a political agenda. Senate Republicans must confirm Judge […]

Confirm Judge Kavanaugh Before October 1

September 20, 2018 Washington, DC As the Senate Judiciary Committee wrestles with the 11th hour character assassination of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, we strongly urge Republican senators to keep the confirmation process on track and proceed with it in a timely manner. As many of his contemporaries have pointed out, the allegations against Judge […]

Republican Majority must break with past: Elect New Leadership That Knows How to Win

September 11, 2018 Washington, DC As the House of Representatives considers candidates for new leadership, we urge Members of Congress to select a Speaker who is committed to fighting for the conservative policy promises included in the Republican platform and who will upend business as usual in Washington. Such a Speaker must come from outside […]

Congress Should Enact DHS and DOD Funding Bills Before the Election

August 28, 2018 Washington, DC Signatures updated: 8/29/18 For too long, Republican spending bills have missed key opportunities to implement President Trump’s agenda on policy, but also on spending. Many of the House and Senate spending bills have spent at levels well above what the president requested, and deliberately funded priorities that the president sought […]

Congress Should Strengthen Work Requirements for Welfare Beneficiaries

August 22, 2018 Washington, DC Signatures updated: 8/24/18 Republicans, including President Trump, have long called for strong welfare reform, including work requirements.

The Senate Must Keep Its Commitment to Work Again

August 15, 2018 Washington, DC Signatures updated: 8/20/18 For a large part of 2018, conservatives have been urging the Senate to work harder.

Confirm Brett Kavanaugh

July 18, 2018 Washington, DC Signatures updated 7/24/18 We strongly endorse the nomination of the Honorable Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court of the United States and urge the Senate to confirm him with haste.

Conservatives Remind Congress – Repeal Obamacare Now

June 20, 2018 Washington, DC Signatures updated: 6/28/18 For nearly a decade, Democrats in Congress have successfully blocked every effort by Republicans to keep the promise they made to voters of fully repealing Obamacare. Meanwhile, the law continues to hurt Americans in countless ways across the country. Average premiums for individual health insurance have risen […]

Senators – Fund the Troops First

June 11, 2018 Washington, DC Signatures updated: 6/12/18 Conservatives want the Senate to work fulltime and overtime starting now until their work is done. Working Americans do this, or they don’t get paid. Eliminating paid leave in August is nice but insufficient. As we have outlined in previous memos, conservatives now call on the Senate’s […]

Conservatives Oppose “Amnesty” Discharge Petition

June 4, 2018 Washington, DC Signatures updated: 6/7/18 Twice in the last year, over 100 conservative leaders have joined to voice strong opposition to the consideration of amnesty in Congress.

Next Steps After The Iran Nuclear Deal

May 16, 2018 Washington, DC President Trump deserves extensive praise for his decision, announced publicly on May 8th, to withdraw the United States from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA. That agreement was concluded by the Obama administration against the wishes of the majority […]
