CONGRESS JUST VOTED TO STRIP ALL POWER FROM OBAMA FOR THE REST OF HIS PRESIDENCY!

It will take a lot of work to clean up the mess created by Obama. The House of Representatives just gave President-elect Trump a head start.With fewer than 10 weeks left as President, President Barack Obama’s time in the White House is about to be finished.

It couldn’t happen soon enough!

Now, Obama’s team is rushing to pass countless last-minute regulations to implement even more of Obama’s radical agenda. Presidents are infamous for controversial, last-minute decisions.

Now, the Republican-lead U.S. House of Representatives just took a major stand against Obama. They voted 240-to-179 to allow Congress to stop and un-do any last minute rules and regulations approved by Obama.

As the bill’s sponsor Rep. Darrell Issa explained, this bill stops Obama’s last-minute, shameful regulations forever:

“This bipartisan bill is about reviving the separation of powers to ensure our laws are written by the Representatives we actually vote for – not unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats who are on their way out the door. Presidents of both parties have made habit of enacting scores of last-minute regulations, with little oversight, to sneak in as much of their agenda as possible before the clock runs out on their time in office. The bill helps ensure this President, and any future president, will be held in check and that their policies have the proper level of scrutiny by both Congress and the American people. I’m pleased to see the House pass this important measure and look forward to its quick passage by our colleagues in the Senate.”

This is a massive victory for conservatives, trying to make the transition to a Trump administration easier to enact pro-growth, pro-job creation policies:

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce sent a letter Wednesday to congressmen alerted them to the cost of regulations put on the books by administrations on their way out the door:

A recent report issued by the Regulatory Studies Center at the George Washington University entitled The Final Countdown; Projecting Midnight Regulations found that executive branch agencies typically issue a significantly greater number of rules during the final months of an administration in a rushed effort to implement remaining policy objectives. Midnight regulations issued by prior administrations have proven highly problematic and required subsequent correction. The ability of Congress to disapprove these rules under the CRA is limited by tight deadlines for action that make separate debate and votes on a rule-by-rule basis impractical.

FreedomWorks CEO Adam Brandon says he’s pleased with the House vote and he committed his Washington-based logistics and policy hub for Tea Party and conservative activists to working with Capitol Hill conservatives to return law-making authority to Congress.

Don't let Obama expand the death tax

From Freedom Works:

While the country prepares for a night filled with fright, Obama and his cronies are proposing a regulation scary enough to reawaken the dead. If enacted, this new IRS regulation to strengthen the already oppressive death tax, forcing your children and grandchildren to pay more taxes to receive the inheritance you’ve worked so hard to give them.

Please don’t let that happen. Contact the Obama Administration right now. Tell them to stop this terrible regulation. Tell them to stop Obama’s death tax expansion today.

We’ve only got until Wednesday, November 2nd to stop this terrible regulation. And if you stay silent now, it will happen, forcing grieving families to pay more taxes to inherit their family’s farm or small business. So please, take 30 seconds and contact the Obama Administration right now. Tell them to stop Obama’s death tax expansion today.

Don't let the Federal government bailout insurance companies

From Freedom Works:

Health insurance companies are running from ObamaCare as fast as they can. And the more that do, only hastens ObamaCare’s eminent demise. But the Democrats are trying to keep them on board long enough to transform ObamaCare into a European-styled single payer system. That’s why they’re fighting tooth and nail to keep bribing these insurance companies with taxpayer funded bailouts. Don’t let them get away with it. Contact these Senate Republicans right now. Tell them to end the ObamaCare bailouts today.
Marco Rubio’s already introduced S. 123, a bill to stop these bailouts permanently. But liberal hacks like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are preventing it from receiving a vote. And until it’s passed, these insurance companies will continue to receive more of your money. Don’t let that happen. Contact these Senate Republicans right now. Tell them to stop the ObamaCare bailouts today.

Make sure those in Congress receive the same medical care our vets get

From Freedom Works:

I’m tired of hearing the horror stories coming from the VA. I’m tired of seeing our veterans receiving terrible health care treatment. If Congress claims the VA health system is good enough for our veterans, it should be good enough for them. Thankfully Rep. Warren Davidson introduced legislation to change that. It’s called the Lead by Example Act and it would require Members of Congress to live under the VA. It's time Congress has some skin in the game in order to help our veterans. If you think that’s a good idea, sign our petition to make Congress live under the VA health care system.
For far too long our veterans have suffered under this terrible VA health care system. They deserve better. And Rep. Davidson’s bill is a big first step to reforming our broken VA system. Sign our petition to make Congress receive the same health care as our veterans.

Say no to government waste

From Freedom Works:

Will you let these liberal DC insiders rush a big, bloated federal budget through Congress, a budget that wastes BILLIONS of your tax dollars on corrupt, big government projects? I don’t know about you, but I won’t. FreedomWorks is doing everything we can to stop their nefarious plot. But we can’t do it ourselves. WE NEED YOUR HELP! That’s why I’m asking you to call your congressman at 202-360-4370 and tell them to say NO to a short-term budget.

If they succeed, either your taxes will go up or the national debt will continue to skyrocket. Thankfully there’s still time left to stop this nightmare scenario. But the clock is ticking. And time is running out. So please, take 30 seconds and call your member of congress at 202-360-4370 right now. Tell them NO lame duck budgets, period. Tell them to say NO to a short-term budget.

Tell Obamq to stand with the people not trial lawyers.

From Freedom Works:

There’s only a week left to stop Obama’s massive liberal trial lawyer payday. If enacted, this regulation takes money away from actual victims and gives it to liberal trial lawyers. And if that’s not bad enough, you’ll have to pay for it. Because of this regulation your credit card interest rates, ATM fees, student loans, home mortgages, and bank loans will all drastically increase.Don’t let that happen. Contact the Obama Administration right now. Tell them to stand up for you not the trial lawyers.

Please use these notes to inform your comments:

- This proposed regulation isn’t about protecting consumers, it’s designed to make it easier for trial lawyers to gather big class action groups allowing them to collect bigger fees.

- The government’s own study found that individual arbitration awards average several thousand dollars, while the average class action settlement payment is $32.35. Meaning that consumers and victims are better off in arbitration.

- This rule will make all covered financial products more expensive: higher fees for bank products, higher interest rates on credits cards. And this rule only benefits trial lawyers.

So far, we’ve been able to drive more then 10,000 comments to stop it. But I fear it won’t be enough. If we’re going to stop this terrible regulation we need to double that amount. So please, take 30 seconds and contact the Obama Administration right now. Tell them to stop Obama’s liberal trial lawyer payday.

Pressure the House Republicans to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen

From Freedom Works:

Recently, the Republican Party adopted your call to impeach Obama’s crony IRS commissioner into the Republican Party platform. While historic, this is just talk. And talk is cheap. It’s time Republicans put up or shut up. They must force John Koskinen to pay for his crimes. That’s why I’m asking you to contact House Republicans today. Tell them it’s time to impeach John Koskinen.

House Republicans have put this off for far too long. Every day John Koskinen is at the IRS is another day conservatives must live in fear.

John Koskinen has broken multiple laws, multiple times. And I’ve had enough of it. He’s destroyed evidence. He’s lied under oath. He’s done all this to cover up Lois Lerner’s part in the IRS’ targeting of conservatives. This is unacceptable. Contact House Republicans right now. Tell them it’s time to impeach John Koskinen.

Don't let Obama bail out the insurance companies

From Freedom Works:

Obama’s ignoring the law. He’s ignoring a federal judge. He’s taking billions of your tax dollars to bail out his cronies in the insurance industry anyway. And now he’s hoping his lawyers find a loophole so he can keep spending your money!

We saw the legal hoops Obama jumped through to force ObamaCare on you. The courts betrayed us before, and you know they’ll betray us again. That’s why you must act and force Congress to end Obama’s bailouts permanently. Contact these Republican Senators and tell them it’s time to end the ObamaCare bailouts.

The only way we can stop Obama is by forcing Congress to pass Senator Marco Rubio’s bill: S 123. Send these Republican Senators a message. Tell them to support S 123. Tell them it’s time to end the ObamaCare bailouts.

Thank the Congressman for starting the impeachment process against John Koskinen

From Freedom Works:

This week hasn’t been good for Obama and his cronies at the IRS. House conservatives took the first step on the path to impeaching IRS Commissioner John Koskinen and voted to protect you from being unfairly targeted by the IRS.

This happened because principled conservatives, like you, rose up and demanded Congress rein in the IRS. And true conservative congressmen like Jim Jordan, Tim Huelskamp, Barry Loudermilk, and Ron DeSantis fought to make sure this happened. Please, take :30s to thank these conservative champions by signing our special “thank you” card today.

In Washington, conservatives have few allies. And, that’s why it’s so important we say thank you to the men and women who stand up and fight for our values each and every day. Thank them right now by signing our special “thank you” card here.

Let's move Audit The Fed along

From Freedom Works:

Recently, Rep. Thomas Massie and House conservatives pushed Rep. Massie’s audit the Fed bill, HR 24, through committee. But now it’s sitting in the House, just waiting for a vote.

The Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful institutions in our country. It controls your money, from how much it’s worth to what you pay at the grocery store. But the Fed operates in complete secrecy. That’s right, it’s completely unaccountable for how it manipulates your money and the economy. That’s why it must be audited. Send a message to your congressman right now. Demand they stand with House conservatives and audit the Federal Reserve.

You deserve to know what the Fed does with your money. You deserve to know how the Fed’s messing with the economy. Contact your representative and tell them to audit the Fed today.

End Civil Asset Forfeiture laws

From Freedom Works:

Recently it was reported that a Christian band, orphanage, and church had $53,000 taken from them by the Oklahoma state government. The government did it by using an unconstitutional program known as civil asset forfeiture. This is where the government can take your property without even charging you with a crime. Civil asset forfeiture is unconstitutional, it violates your property rights, and it has got to end. Sign our petition to urge Congress to end civil asset forfeiture right now.

As long as this unconstitutional scheme is allowed to exist, everyone’s property is at risk of being taken by the government. Just think, if a church’s property was taken by the government, how safe is your property? Ray, stand up for your property rights! Tell Congress to stand up for your property rights by signing our petition today.

Hold politicians accountable

From Freedom Works:

You sent your elected officials to Washington to represent your values. Therefore, you shouldn't excuse or forgive any politician, candidate, or party if they violate your principles. But far too often, we tend to forgive them for failing to represent our values. And that has got to stop. We’ve got to start holding their feet to the fire today!

That’s why I’m asking you to pledge to hold your elected officials accountable. It's up to you to ensure they don't violate your conservative principles.

I’m done with excuses. I’m done with the lies and betrayals. First and foremost, I’m a conservative. And I will not give a pass to another congressman, senator, or even president if they violate my conservative principles. If you’re with me, sign our pledge to hold your elected officials accountable. Pledge to never let them get away with violating your principles today.

Pledge to support the House Freedom Caucus

From Freedom Works:

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked this question, what do conservatives do now? And my answer is this; we must and always should focus on enacting bold conservative policies and supporting the congressmen who are fighting to do it. Conservative policies like repealing ObamaCare, stopping Common Core and impeaching Obama’s corrupt IRS Commissioner. If you agree, sign our pledge to support these conservative congressmen’s bold conservative agenda in 2016 and beyond.

Regardless of who becomes the next president, the most important thing is restoring the Constitution and advancing truly principled conservative solutions. And there are conservatives in Congress doing just that. They’re the House Freedom Caucus. But they can’t advance their conservative agenda alone. They need your help! That’s why I’m asking you to sign our pledge to support the House Freedom Caucus’ bold conservative agenda right now.

Thank the Senate Republicans for stopping Obama's nominee for the SCOTUS

From Freedom Works:

Despite being constantly attacked by almost every liberal group in the country most Senate Republicans are still standing strong. The left has tried everything from bashing them in the media to protesting outside their offices, and they haven’t caved to their demands. It takes a lot of guts to stand strong in the face of such adversity and that’s why they deserve our thanks. Send these Senate Republicans a message today and thank them for opposing Obama’s Supreme Court scheme.

These Senate Republicans know what’s at stake in this fight. They are the thin red line between decades of liberal judicial activism and freedom. That’s why they’re not backing down, and for that they deserve our thanks. Contact these Senate Republicans and thank them for opposing Obama’s Supreme Court scheme.

Let’s thank the Senate Republicans for fighting to make freedom work.

Tell the House to impeach IRS Commissioner John Koskinen

From Freedom Works:

Ever since Obama appointed John Koskinen as IRS Commissioner, the IRS has gone from bad to worse. He’s allowed the culture of corruption to grow at the IRS. He’s worked tirelessly to cover up the IRS’s past scandals, and he’s lied under oath to do it. No matter how you look at it, John Koskinen’s tenure as IRS Commissioner has been a complete and utter disaster. Contact the House Republicans and tell them to impeach John Koskinen immediately.

The IRS is one of the most feared and powerful institutions of our government. And we cannot continue to allow this crook to continue running it. Members of the House Freedom Caucus are fighting tooth and nail to impeach Obama’s crony. But they can’t do it alone, they need the rest of the House Republicans to do it! So please, contact the House Republicans and tell them to impeach John Koskinen today.

Let’s get freedom working at the IRS again.

Targeting moderate Democrats to oppose Obama

From Freedom Works:

The Democrats think they’re winning the fight over the Supreme Court. But despite their best efforts, Senate Republicans are still standing strong. And now it’s time for you to go on the attack. We’re targeting several conservative state Democrats, and if we can get them to break ranks, this fight will be over! Send these moderate Democrats a message and tell them to oppose any Supreme Court nominee while Obama is in office.

Getting these conservative state Democrats to flip, could be the deciding factor in this fight. But they’re not going to do it on their own, you’ve got to make them. That’s why I’m asking you to send these conservative state Democrats a message and tell them to oppose any Supreme Court nominee while Obama is in office.

Let’s show the Democrats how freedom works.

Impeach the IRS commissioner

From Freedom Works:

The House Freedom Caucus has just renewed the push to impeach Obama’s crony IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. Ever since Obama appointed him, the IRS has been plagued by scandals and corruption. He’s failed to clean up the IRS, he’s failed to protect your tax records, and he has failed you.

Congress has put this off for far too long. John Koskinen has got to go! Send the House Republicans a message today and tell them to impeach John Koskinen.

John Koskinen has covered up the IRS’s targeting of conservatives. He has lied under oath, he has lied to Congress, and he has lied to you. Well I’ve had enough of it, and I know you have too. That’s why I’m asking you to contact the House Republicans and demand that John Koskinen be impeached!

Together we can impeach John Koskinen.

Don't let Obama put a liberal on the Supreme Court

From Freedom Works:

In 2009, a million of you marched on Washington to protect the Constitution from Obama and the progressives. Since then millions of you have signed petitions, made phone calls, sent emails, and even donated money to protect this sacred document. But believe me when I tell you, if Obama gets another liberal justice onto the Supreme Court, NONE OF IT WILL MATTER.

That’s how important this fight for the Supreme Court is, the soul of the country is what’s at stake here. Everything that you have fought for, everything you have built, will be wiped out if we lose this fight. That’s how powerful the Supreme Court is, that’s the damage another liberal on the Court can do. And that’s why FreedomWorks is doing everything we can to stop that from happening. But we can’t do it by ourselves, we need your support. That’s why I’m asking you to donate just $5 to our Supreme Court Defense Fund today.

I know you hate being asked to donate money. And believe me, I hate asking. But your donations are what make it possible for us to keep on fighting to protect the Constitution from the left. And if we lose this fight, well, I don’t to even want think about it.

But that’s not going to happen. In fact, I’ll spend every last dime we have before I let that happen, because I know I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I didn’t do everything I possibly can to save this country from decades of liberal judicial activism. And if you want to help me do it, please donate just $5 right now.

I’m laying it all on the line, I’ve shown you my hand. And I’m begging you, don’t let Obama win. Right now, we are winning this fight. But if we stop fighting, we will lose the Supreme Court for decades to come. So please chip in just $5 to help us protect everything we’ve fought so hard to accomplish.

I’m counting on you please don’t let me down.

Tell these Senators not to cave into Obama's demands

From Freedom Works:

You deserve to have a voice in selecting Justice Scalia’s successor to the Supreme Court. But some in Washington don’t want that to happen. They’d rather let Obama ram his nominee through the Senate, just to score cheap political points with the liberal media. This is wrong, and it’s up to you to stop them. Call these moderate senators today at 201-571-1178 and tell them to oppose any Supreme Court hearings or confirmation until next year.

We know that Obama’s doing everything he can to force these weak-kneed senators into giving him what he wants. He’s even got his friends in the liberal media and Hollywood pressuring them. And if you don’t fight back, they will cave! That’s why I’m asking you to call these senators at 201-571-1178 and tell them to oppose any Supreme Court confirmation while Obama is in office.

Let’s keep freedom working on the Supreme Court.

Remind Senate Republicans to block Obama's SCOTUS nomination

From Freedom Works:

Last Monday, I asked you to tell Mitch McConnell to keep his promise and block any Supreme Court nominee while Obama is in office. And boy did you ever. You’ve helped drive over 15,000 emails to McConnell’s office in just 7 days! But now we’re starting to see some of the entrenched establishment Republicans turn tail and run to side with Harry Reid and the Democrats. This is wrong and we must stop Senate Republicans from surrendering before it’s too late. Help us fight back with a contribution of $5 right now.

Having the ability to keep Obama’s liberal nominee out of the Supreme Court is critical to our country’s freedom. That’s why FreedomWorks is preparing to launch a massive grassroots campaign to make sure Senate Republicans don’t cave to Harry Reid and the Democrats. We know some of these spineless Senators can’t be trusted, and that’s why we’ve got to hit them with everything we’ve got. But if we’re going to make this campaign successful, we need your help. We need to raise $150,000 in the next 48 hours, but we won’t meet our goal unless we have your support. That’s why I’m asking you to chip in $5 right now.

If Obama gets away with his Supreme Court scheme, we could be saying hello to Justice Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch. And that means we’d lose every major case heard by the Court for decades to come. The Constitution would be ripped to shreds, our freedoms would vanish, and there would be nothing you could do to stop them.

If Obama gets another liberal on the Court, his “fundamental transformation” of America will be complete. And he’s using his friends in DC and in the media to bully these Senate Republicans into caving to his demands. That’s why we’ve got to keep the pressure on these senators. FreedomWorks is prepared to see this through until Obama’s out of office. But we won’t be able to do it without your support. Can we count on you to help us meet our goal? Donate $5 right now to help us keep the fight alive and stop the Supreme Court from turning into a den of radical liberalism.

Freedom only works if you’re willing to fight for it. And now is that time.
