Nov. 12, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement endorsing House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for another term as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives:

“Speaker Mike Johnson kept the GOP House majority through his tireless work, record-setting fundraising and steady leadership over the past year. The Speaker has continually articulated and fought for conservative values, and is the right person to help President Trump keep his promises to the American people. Americans for Limited Government urges the House to re-elect Mike Johnson to the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives. Speaker Johnson has earned this position over the past year and is the right person to continue this very tough job.”

Oct. 29, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement in response to reports from counties in Pennsylvania of a scheme to allegedly commit voter registration fraud with thousands of applications:

“The discovery that a massive Democrat-led voter registration fraud scheme is being perpetrated in conservative counties in Pennsylvania is not shocking but it is disappointing. This same fraud was discovered by a county in Michigan in 2020 and ignored, so now it has expanded at least to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in an attempt to steal the election. Every county in every swing state must review all voter registration forms submitted in the weeks prior to the registration deadline to determine whether similar illegal activity has occurred in their counties. The voter associated with a suspect voter registration form should have his/her vote set aside as a provisional to be determined after the election as to their legality, and state lawsuits should be filed to force a review of each new registration form to ensure their validity.

“This election will likely be decided by a few hundred thousand votes cast in seven states, and the discovery of massive voter registration fraud by well-funded left-wing operatives in suburban and rural counties sets off alarm bells that must be quieted through rapid legal action to ensure the validity of the ballots being cast.  Failure to act immediately to identify and squelch this obvious massive attempt to override legitimate election results by county and state agencies is effectively giving up any opportunity to gain acceptance that the results were not rigged.”

Oct. 18, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement blasting federal judge Tanya Chutkan for unsealing documents related to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against former President Donald Trump:

“Today’s release of the appendix to deep state prosecutor Jack Smith’s immunity motion by federal judge Tanya Chutkan is just one more example of the politicization of America’s justice system, and when the GOP wins control of the House, Senate and White House, it is imperative that they take action to ensure that this abuse of power never happens again.

“There are two big steps that need to be taken to end the partisan political control of prosecutions in the District of Columbia.  The first would be to file articles of impeachment against Chutkan on day one of the new Congress and most importantly act upon them.  Her actions throughout this case have been proof positive for anyone on the right that there is no justice if you are conservative.  The second and more important action would be to eliminate the District Court of appeals and restrict the federal judges in D.C. to overseeing the criminal justice needs of the District itself rather than playing national political arbiter in an electoral environment that in D.C. is more than 90 percent against people who support Trump.

“The truth is that the reason that the District of Columbia was formed and the residents were not given electoral representation was because they already had power through their close association with government and those who run it. Now, as the federal government has become a self-serving behemoth, it is time to end the judicial bias represented by having those who serve as the supposed neutral arbiters be bitter partisans. Chutkan’s craven, partisan political action combined with Jack Smith’s get Trump no matter where the facts lead prosecution have not only ripped the blindfold off of Lady Justice, but have given her shiners in both eyes to boot.

“Americans are constitutionally entitled to a system of justice where the federal government doesn’t use its immense power and unending money to engage in political harassment of any private citizen, let alone one who has served as President of the United States. Unfortunately, today’s extremely unorthodox release of Smith’s filings by a judge bent on trying to influence the presidential election is just one more reason why America has lost faith that there is equal protection under the law.  It is shameful, and when the GOP returns to D.C. victorious after Nov. 5, they have a constitutional responsibility to fix it.”

Oct. 17, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement praising former President Donald Trump for killing the illegal immigration amnesty bill:

“Thank goodness that President Donald Trump stopped the flood of illegal aliens who would have entered the country if Kamala Harris’ preferred legislation would have passed Congress.

“President Trump stopped more than 1.8 million illegal aliens being waved into our country every year – that’s how many illegal aliens the bill would have allowed into the United States under the ‘immigration reform bill’ which Harris attacks the former president for opposing. Each of these illegal aliens would have been given green cards allowing them to compete with Americans for jobs. Every one of these illegal aliens would have been able to continue the chain migration flood which crowds out people from legally immigrating to America if they don’t already have a close relative in the country.  And the bill would have ended wall funding until 2028, effectively tying the 2025 incoming administration’s hands from legislating real border security measures.

“Senate negotiators came away with a bill that puts America’s citizens last. Donald Trump stopped it, and that is one of his great achievements since he left office on January 20, 2021.”

Oct. 16, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement on the 2022 violent crime rate reported by the Justice Department was revised upward by 6.6 percentage points from 2.1 percent drop to a 4.5 percent increase:

“The violent crime reports by the Department of Justice are incomplete and invalid due to changes in the reporting system that initially fail to include many large municipalities, resulting in the 2022 violent crime rate being revised upward by 6.6 percent — from a 2.1 percent drop to a 4.5 percent increase — and making the 2023 violent crime report meaningless due to a lack of complete data.

“It is absurd that changes in the reporting requirements by the Justice Department for municipalities have rendered annual data unreliable and incomplete and is now being exploited by national, state and local administrations who get to say pay no attention to what you see on the streets, crime is low, trust us. The revisions to the 2022 violent crime data prove that the crime reporting system is failing almost as much as the criminal justice systems in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Baltimore. It is unbelievable that with modern database technology that it takes two years for the federal government to get accurate crime data reporting.”

Oct. 4, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement in response to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s note that Congress has already appropriated an addition $20 billion for Hurricane Helene specifically, which President Joe Biden signed into law:

“The Biden-Harris administration Is lying to the American public when they claim that FEMA is out of money.  Speaker Mike Johnson just posted on X that, ‘Last Wednesday, I led Congress to provide $20 billion extra dollars (available immediately) to FEMA so they would have operational funds right now to respond to Helene.’

“Here is the truth.  Speaker Johnson, leading the House GOP, responsibly appropriated a massive amount of money to FEMA so they could immediately meet the hurricane emergency. Unfortunately, the Biden-Harris administration has not only been slow to respond, with anecdotal accounts of soldiers at Fort Bragg in North Carolina being denied leave to rescue their friends and neighbors in the Smoky Mountains. Rather than going into overdrive with a massive public-private search and rescue mission, the Biden-Harris administration has let the people of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina and Virginia down through their deadly failure to treat the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene as a major emergency.

“It is important for America to know that Congress did its job – they gave the Biden-Harris administration money to meet the immediate needs and the Harris team which Joe Biden has said is running the White House operation now, failed miserably.  Whether they failed due to incompetence or due to the utter contempt they hold for rural Trump voters, the deaths which have occurred as a result of their inaction are a black mark on our nation’s history.

“Not to put too fine a point over it, but sometimes it seems that this administration cares far more about lives lost in foreign countries than those lost here in America, and this disaster of a response is just more evidence that the Biden-Harris administration puts Americans last, and I for one am sick of it.”

Sept. 25, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement praising Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) for fighting for the Six Penny Plan:

“Senator Rand Paul is one of the few Senators who are serious about the fiscal challenges facing America.  Quite simply, the current rate of government spending is unsustainable with interest payments on the debt for the first ten months of fiscal year 2024 reaching a staggering $763 billion fully $202 billion more than the same period the previous year. Net interest payments on the debt surpass every other spending category other than Social Security. It is astonishing that the fiscal apocalypse that we have worried about for decades is now upon us with even defense spending dwarfed by the cost of simply making interest payments on our $35 trillion national debt.

“While we are disappointed that it did not pass, Senator Paul’s Six Penny Plan forced an honest discussion about the crisis our nation faces and some of the tough decisions which will be required to reverse course from the almost $2 Trillion in debt our country adds onto the ledger every single year. Higher interest rate payments on more of the debt combined with the spending spree which has raised the debt from $26.9 Trillion on September 30, 2020 to more than $35 Trillion. America is in trouble and Senator Paul is one of the few members of Congress willing to propose solutions.”

Sept. 11, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement urging passage of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) proposal for a six-month continuing resolution with the SAVE Act attached:

“House Republicans need to unite around Speaker Johnson’s proposal for a six-month continuing resolution with the SAVE Act included in order to best ensure that only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections, with full knowledge that President Biden and Vice President Harris, who want to allow millions of illegal aliens to vote in November, will almost certainly veto it. This inexcusable loophole in our voting system should have been closed decades ago, but here we are now, with the White House and Democratic Senate who will refuse to do a thing about it. It is still a fight the House should bring forward to let the American people know what the score is: that Democrats do not support election security in any way, shape or form. The six-month continuing resolution is important Joe Biden and Kamala Harris from getting another bite at the funding apple, which always leads to disastrous Christmas Eve spending atrocities.”

Sept. 10, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement commenting on tonight’s presidential debate:

“America finally got to hear Kamala Harris as she once again failed to address the critical issues facing our nation, providing no answers to the continued high costs of food and housing and the decline in America’s real wages. The Harris-Biden inflation has destroyed many Americans’ hope to achieve the American dream. Continuing the Harris economic policy for another four years will result in higher taxes and bigger deficits that already have us on the brink of recession. Continuing with open borders endangers public safety, our schools and communities. And an expansion of the weaponized administrative state threatens our fundamental constitutional freedoms. Americans who care about their children’s future will vote to return Donald Trump to the Oval Office, after all, weak and stupid is no way to run a country.”
