April 19, 2016, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement urging the U.S. Senate to reject legislation that will result in thousands of federal prison inmates being released early:
“Despite all the tinkering being done to the bill, the key provisions of retroactive sentence reductions remain, meaning early release for thousands of federal prison inmates. Any member who votes yes will bear responsibility for whatever crimes the early-released felons commit afterwards, including any murders. If voting no could just save just one innocent life, would it not be worth it? No member should want that on his or her conscience, let alone their voting record.”
