Conservatives Send Letter Calling on Speaker to Defend GOP Policy Provisions | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Conservatives across the country are gathering tonight and this weekend in Maryland, for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. And a number of lawmakers are speaking out at the event. A dozen House Freedom Caucus members are making their voices heard. They sent a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson calling on him defend GOP policy provisions with regards to government spending. They warned, a majority of House Republicans will oppose any deal that doesn't include their priorities. Freedom Caucus Member Byron Donalds says, "Those are demands that we want. It's not even demands. This is what the American people are looking for. They ought to know what their government is doing. And for it to wait until some bill drops on the desk and you know what's in and what's out. I don't think that's good enough." In the letter, the Conservative lawmakers want language in the bills that reflect more than 20 of their priorities including: defunding the Pentagon's illegal abortion travel fund, defunding Planned Parenthood to prevent the use of taxpayer funds on abortion, defunding gender transition surgeries paid by taxpayer dollars and increasing border security measures and protections against illegal immigration. They also want to eliminate taxpayer dollars for the Green New Deal, student loan bailouts and are pushing for reforms at the Justice Department.
