Conservatives call on Congress to include language in the FY 2024 appropriations bills that prohibits the use of any federal dollars, personnel, or resources from being used to implement Executive Order 14019, or for any purposes related to programs, activities, and projects pursuant to that Executive Order.
On March 7, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order 14019 which directed all federal agencies to develop a ‘voter registration’ and ‘voter education’ plan, using federal personnel, federal tax dollars and other federal agency resources for these political campaign activities.
The origin of the Executive Order to use the vast resources of the federal government for voter registration and voter education and turnout was not Congress; rather, the idea for the Executive Order originated with Demos, a leftwing organization, and was subsequently embraced by numerous leftist groups. Every federal agency was directed to submit to the White House Office of Domestic Policy a plan for compliance with the Executive Order, which were due on September 23, 2021.
Since issuance of the Executive Order, the Biden Administration has refused to provide any of the agency plans to Congress or to any citizens organization or media outlets seeking copies of the plans. Despite multiple letters to President Biden signed by Republican members of Congress, demanding copies of the agencies’ plans and requesting information about the use of federal dollars for campaign activities, no information has been provided to any member of Congress or the general public. Notwithstanding the refusal of the Biden Administration to disclose any information about the implementation of the Executive Order, federal agencies appear to be utilizing federal resources for political campaign activities.
Congress should stop the funding of the illegal use of taxpayer dollars for political campaign activities, including but not limited to the White House’s distribution of federal grants to unknown nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) approved solely by the partisan political operatives in the Biden White House.
The use of federal tax dollars to fund political activities by federal agencies and grants to undisclosed, partisan leftist organizations engaged in political campaign activities is unconstitutional, illegal, and must be stopped. Congress must exercise the power of the purse to ensure that federal agencies engage solely in their statutory missions as directed by Congress and that the ultra vires activities dictated by the unlawful Executive Order 14019 must not be allowed to continue.
