THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

As of May of 2023, there are 11 proposals that have been introduced this year. Most of these, with the except of 2, are in support of the Trans-Agenda. The 2 exceptions are H.R.216 titled My Child, My Choice Act of 2023 sponsored by Jefferson Van Drew, and H.R.1399 titled Protect Children’s Innocence Act sponsored by Marjorie Taylor Green. All proposals are currently have been introduced and referred to committees for subcommittees for review. Make your opinion known to our elected officials about these bills and resolutions currently going through Congress. Every proposal states the sponsor and cosponsors so you can see exactly who is pushing for this agenda. The contact information for all representatives can be found on the State Government page which includes a directory of the Representatives and Senators from every state. It is imperative that we understand and speak out against bills and resolutions like these to stop them from passing and to discourage such supporting legislation from being created.
