There goes the farm if passed.I wonder if you get a Federal I.D. card in the process with your new status under the watchful eye of The Federal bureaucracy.

1. It forces taxpayers to finance political campaigns. If it passes, you’d be paying for the campaigns of self-professed socialists like Bernie Sanders and AOC. To add insult to injury, H.R. 1 will also allow politicians to double dip and take a second salary from their campaigns.

“2. It eliminates the ability of states to control their own elections. H.R. 1 forces states to enact same-day voter registration, automatically register voters, implement online voter registration, allow voters to cast ballots outside of their precinct, keep ineligible voters on voter rolls in perpetuity, register voters without verifying eligibility, and allow people to vote without showing any identification.

“3. It undermines our 1st Amendment rights. H.R. 1 unconstitutionally increases government censorship over political campaigns, activity, and speech. Using a very vague standard, the bill regulates any speech that is deemed to impact an election (which is almost anything).

“H.R. 1 would also force political nonprofits to publicly disclose donors, but don’t be fooled, this isn’t about transparency. This is about making it easier for the militant Left to dox conservatives, threaten their families, and get them fired from their jobs.”

The government of the United States of America is a federal system. In such a system, much power and authority are not held in a central government, but are retained by the individual states. Remember, it was through the agreement of the states that the nation was created.

    I don't get it.

    Would you expect any different since they figured out a way to rig the Electoral College?

    There is not one darn thing the (D)'s will propose and pass into law that surprises me in the least.

    It is the way it is going to be for the next several years with the Federal Masters. It might even be forever, until we implode, while the (D) party has total control. There is zero the (R) party will do about it, they are as much of the problem as the (D)'s only more useless when Constitutional issues arise. States Rights were squashed by the passage of the 17th Amendment, they are not coming back.

    At some point we all must make a personal, gut wrenching decision, bow to their unconstitutional edicts or stand UNITED and say KMA, I will not comply. It really is that simple...

    Like I have been saying for years: There is absolutely no difference between a SOCIALIST and a DEMOCRAT. People that disagree are nothing but sycophants.
