Almost a year after its initial passage, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives has once again passed HR 1, the For the People Act. However, there’s one major difference this year—this misleadingly named bill is no longer dead on arrival in a Republican Senate or White House.
Now that leftists hold the reins of power, Democrat leadership has doubled down on this anti-democratic bill, aiming to use its razor-thin majority in Congress to establish permanent and unopposed domination of our national elections.
HR 1, a bill whose number indicates the highest level of priority for Democrats, does nothing to address the numerous crises we’re facing. It is silent on the ongoing pandemic, the millions of Americans still unemployed, our unstable and unsecured southern border, and the multitude of children suffering at home because they’re not in school.
Instead, HR 1 is packed full of mandates to guarantee Democrats control future elections—all under the guise of “election reform.”
In reality, this bill undermines protections for free speech, destroys the nonpartisan Federal Election Commission, and nationalizes elections, paying no mind to the Constitution or the 10th Amendment. It would require states to automatically register voters, make it harder to verify voter information, and expand mail-in voting without safeguards in place to catch fraud.
In fact, HR 1 would silence all discussion about election fraud, voting irregularities, and the countless issues that left half of the country so dissatisfied with the execution and results of the 2020 election.
With all of this on the table, and absolutely no bipartisan input, can anyone honestly say that the goal of this bill is to actually benefit the people rather than politicians?
We need commonsense election reform that reaffirms the authority of states to create and administer their own election laws, not blatant federal overreach. We need rules that ensure all eligible voters can vote and certainty that those votes will be counted, not a road that leads to election fraud for the benefit of one political party.
That’s why I recently reintroduced HR 860, the You Must Be Alive to Vote Act, which would prevent people who are deceased from being automatically registered to vote, opening the door to ballot harvesting and fraud.
Likewise, in the House, Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., has introduced the Save Democracy Act, which would restore public trust in our national elections by protecting voter registration, ballot casting, and ballot counting.
These are the types of reforms that would actually protect American votes and rebuild confidence in our government.
One of the quotes inscribed on the wall of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., says that our third president swore “upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” Like him, I cannot stand idly by as our rights to free speech and free and fair elections are dismantled in Congress by a fanatical and unbalanced majority.
I can only hope my colleagues feel as strongly as I do and will fight against this bill in order to protect the American public from the tyranny of the left.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Voting is to be regulated and controlled by the state legislatures as is written in the U.S. constitution.
Tyrants need to have all the protection they can get so they can tell the citizens how to live.
Larry: I spent my formative years living under a tyrant. Firearms were banned and only the government and police (gestapo) had guns thus total control (the timeframe the late 1930’s until 1943 the nation Nazi Germany. I am saddened to see America my adopted country turning into a Nazi Germany. The Demoshit party supports tyranny, Why I have no idea!! Possibly because they REFUSE to learn lessons from history or they’re just plain STUPID!!!
Communist tires of Schumer and Pelosi.
In light of the recent focus on this below mentioned dazzling duo, I thought it would be worthwhile to share Trevor Loudon’s research as he highlight the pair’s radical communist ties.
Because of the power, it exerts over our politics and our lives, and because this is, America founded on Christian Values and the teachings of Jesus Christ, Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
Chuck Schumer
As noted by author Trevor London:
“Senator Schumer has clear ties to three extreme organizations.
“The Council for a Livable World, founded in 1962 by long-time socialist activist and alleged Soviet agent, Leo Szilard, is a non-profit advocacy organization that seeks to ‘reduce the danger of nuclear weapons and increase national security’, primarily through supporting progressive, congressional candidates who support their policies.
The Council supported Charles E. Schumer in his initial successful Senate run as candidate for New York.
“In 1997, Schumer was one of 33 co-sponsors of H.R. 950, the Job Creation and Infrastructure Restoration Act. The bill had originally been sponsored by Congressman Matthew Martinez at the request of over 50 prominent labor leaders – all of whom were known supporters or members of the Communist Party USA.
The Communist party even delegated senior member Evelina Alarcon to oversee the bill’s progress.
“In 1998 Schumer enjoyed electoral support from Communist Party breakaway group, Committees of Correspondence.“
Nancy Pelosi
As WND reported, Pelosi for years was not only on the House Progressive Caucus, but a member of its Executive Board.
The Progressive Caucus is the congressional arm of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). As DSA themselves stated:
“We invite you to support the campaign by adding your name to the list of signers of the Pledge for Economic Justice. In conjunction with the Campaign DSA is working with the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a network of more than 50 progressive members of the US House of Representatives … .”
WND notes:
Semper Fi Marine! I really wish that the Democrats and ALL liberals would listen to those who suffered under Socialism such as those from Nazi Germany or at the very least read history books as to how Germany and other nations who became Dictatorships became like they were. WE CANNOT ALLOW ANYONE to get rid of those Amendments that protect us from Dictatorships such as the First and Second Amendments! Other Amendments under the Bill of Rights are also exceptionally important but those two were the First and Second for a reason! Free Speech and the Right to Own and Bear Arms are paramount!
A more appropriate name would be ‘The We’re Gonna Cheat And There Is Nothing Y’all Can Do To Stop Us’
That is what they’ve been doing anyway, this will just give them a ‘cloak’ of legality.
LIEberal Demoshits will NEVER introduce legislation that does not provide benefits for themselves!! LIEberal Demoshits word bills so as to mislead the public into believing said legislation will benefit everyone! Take these GREEN legislation to “save the planet” ONLY people who benefit are “special interest” groups that support a Leftopathic government!!!
This bill HR-1 should be called “For the People in the Democrat Party Bill”. What a joke! It is completely unconstitutional. Wars have been started for less.
You don’t think, maybe,….Naw, a tea party will never happen again.
Communist China providing automatic weapons to Antifa in California
.naturalnews.com/2020-07-03-communist-china-providing-automatic-weapons-to-antifa-black-lives-matter.html
Here is the official list of communist goals as revealed by Dr. Cleon Skousen inThe Naked Communist pg.259+ …(1963)
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations, which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, and policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connelly reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Now that list is more than a little scary. DEMS have been busy!!!

THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS AS READ INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, 1963
Let’s be honest: There are 220 commies in the House and 49 in the Senate!
AC
Democrats actively practice Socio-Nazism, a combined form of governing that uses socialist reform, enforced by Nazi tactics, to dismantle the Constitution and destroy Democracy, as we practice it. The United States practices a Republican form of government, which is a Constitutional Democracy, and Democrats seek to destroy this form of government that has left us free and sovereign for nearly two hundred and fifty years. Democrats are socialists using anarchical action to usurp our government and purge their political enemies from office.
Four years of lies against President Trump, and some questionable voting actions, purged President Trump from office: replaced by a puppet with no backbone and a complete lack of economics understanding. Biden’s actions are detrimental to the well-being of the American worker, U.S. business, and Social Security. Congress should have initiated Impeachment proceedings against President Biden after his first day in office. Biden‘s true mission is to bring to fruition the liberal agenda to reverse all productive gains, without regard to the consequence such destruction, President Trump achieved while in office.
One would be a fool not to recognize the damage Biden created by stopping production on the Alaskan Pipeline, stopping construction on the Southern Border Wall, and generating a 1.9 “Stimulus” package without compensating from where the funds are being taken. Social Security is the logical source to fund Biden’s 1.9 Stimulus package and Democrats refusal to reveal from where the funds to support this Stimulus will come is proof that Democrats have once again stolen money from Social Security and are hiding this fact from the public.
These are the eight levels of controls, formatted Saul Alinsky and edited by me, to transform a nation through socialism into communism.
1. Healthcare – control healthcare and you control the people.
(The Affordable Care Act – Obamacare)
2. Poverty – Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you provide everything for them to live.
(Non-Vetted aliens crossing our Southern Border and receiving free benefits)
3. Debt – Increase the debt level to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes and this will produce more poverty.
(Biden’s Executive Orders, reducing employment and allowing thousands of
unskilled aliens to enter, further stressing an over-stressed economy)
4. Gun control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from government. That way you are able to create a police state.
(Democrats have preached “Gun Control” for three decades)
5. Welfare – Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.
(Democrats support paying people who refuse to work and stay at home and raise more welfare recipients to grow up and vote Democrat)
(I refer to these people “The Breathe and Breed Demographic“)
6. Education – Take control of what people read, listen to what people say, and take control of what children learn in school.
(Liberal Democrats have censored books for years, their latest attack being against “Dr. Seuss”)
7. Religion – Remove belief in God from the government and schools because the people need to believe in only the government knowing what is best for the people.
(Liberal Democrats attack Christianity on a daily basis)
8. Class warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class.
(Democrats create legislation to “Equalize” citizens, while the NAACP continues to divide the nation under the guise of Racism)
This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to tax the wealthy with the support of the poor. It should be clear to all how our nation is well on its way to winning its race to the bottom. Is it our public servants in both political parties who are constitution-despising oath breakers or, we the people, who vote and revote them into office, who sells us out?
If any of this seems familiar to you, just check actions by Democrats in recent years and it will be clear, provided you are still able to think for yourself!
Pelosi has already introduced H.R.8, the Universal Gun Registration Bill, which can lead to confiscating all registered forearms, should current events continue in the direction Democrats are taking us. This will lead to only military and law enforcement having legal firearms. (Remember step #4 of the transformation to communism through socialism) H.R. 8 does not factor that criminals will not register any firearms, thus creating a danger to law-abiding citizens: not just by government forceful take-over of our lives, but also exposure to an armed criminal element we cannot fight against because of Firearms confiscation!
Krymson,
I’m no criminal but I can assure you I will not register my firearms. There are legally obtained and therefore legally kept loaded! I just one of many millions that I’m sure feel the same.
BIDUMBN stopped the Keystone XL pipeline. Starts at northern Alberta Canada. It was to end in Texas. Also, North Dakota shale oil would have been sent via Keystone XL. Over 20 states now suing Dementia Joe over the pipeline. Expect Alberta to sue as well. Canada had alot invested already. Diesel has been up 19 weeks straight. Thank a democrat.
