State lawmaker takes lead in border security

October 27, 2021

Arizona state rep. requests legal opinion from state AG on failure of Biden administration to secure border

Fairfax, Va. – Arizona State Representative Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek, Gilbert) has filed a formal request for a legal opinion from the AZ Attorney General on whether or not the federal government has failed—intentionally or unintentionally—to uphold its obligations to protect our state from invasion under Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.

Americans for Limited Government President Richard Manning issued the following statement in support of Hoffman:

“Every border state legislator should emulate Arizona State Representative Jake Hoffman in urging their state attorney general to issue an opinion and begin legal action against the Biden administration and its unwillingness to defend the southern border.  Article IV, Section 4 clearly states that the federal government will protect states from invasion.  The Biden administration is not only failing to protect Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas from an invasion, but they are encouraging it.

“Hoffman’s letter outlines a bill of particulars related to the damage the invasion is causing American citizens residing in border states. He points to the more than a thousand percent increase in manslaughters and homicides in the past year along with other glaring crime statistics.  But crime is not a statistic, it is a son who will never see his father again, a daughter dealing with the fallout from being raped, and the parents who are burying their son due to his taking Chinese fentanyl-tainted drugs.

“We have an army of 60,000 people heading north to our border right now.  Their leader has threatened violence against our enforcement officials if they are not let in.  The time is now, and every border state needs to take whatever legal action is at their disposal to repel this violent invasion.  It is outrageous that the Biden administration chooses to not protect our southern border.  Now that border state leaders know this, it is up to them to take the actions needed to protect their state even as the President sits inert in the White House catching up on Golden Girl re-runs.”

Anthony Fauci Can’t Even Be Trusted with Puppies

October 26, 2021

Fairfax, Va. – Americans for Limited Government (ALG) President Richard Manning had this to say about the recent allegations that Dr. Anthony Fauci approved funding for the experimenting on Beagle puppies. “If you can’t trust Anthony Fauci with your dog, how can you trust him with your child?  As Joe Biden continues on his vaccine mandate jihad with Fauci playing his Rasputtin, the role that Fauci played in funding grotesque experiments that tortured beagle puppies by having them eaten alive by maggots is so sickening that every American should be demanding Fauci be fired. The puppy torture was so horrific that the Fauci-funded perpetrators cut their vocal chords so they would not have to hear the torment they were causing”.

Manning continued, “Recent revelations that the same Dr. Fauci knowingly funded Chinese research that made bat coronaviruses infect humanized mice increasing their illness shows that this public health bureaucrat has been cavalier in his support for creating extremely dangerous viruses like the one that has killed almost five million people around the world.  This warrants his being summarily fired, but the revelation of his agency’s funding of the torturing of puppies should make even Fauci’s most ardent defender shrink in horror”.

This latest incident shows more than ever that Fauci lacks the moral compass necessary to be responsible for scientific research.

“As the Biden administration plunges headlong into the potentially catastrophic approval of various Covid vaccines for use in children without any idea what the long-term physiological effects will be, Dr. Anthony Fauci stands as the public symbol to be wary of what is being fed to you.  Any human who would torture dogs in the manner described in public reports is a source for revulsion and any recommendation coming from someone so devoid of basic humanity should be rejected and reassessed using the basic scientific method of inquiry which evaluates risks to an age population which very, very rarely dies of Covid 19 compared to the risks of mandating the imposition of an unproven vaccine”, Manning concluded.

Pelosi’s Star Chamber Misuses Authority in Steve Bannon Charges

October 20, 2021

Bannon was private citizen for three years prior to Jan. 6th

Fairfax, Va. – A U.S. congressional committee probing the Jan. 6 Capitol incident voted unanimously on Tuesday in favor of contempt-of-Congress charges against Steve Bannon, a former aide to former President Donald Trump.

Americans for Limited Government President Richard Manning issued the following statement in reaction:

“The Star Chamber known as the House January 6th commission is invoking criminal contempt charges against Steve Bannon for his refusal to participate in their charade.  Let’s be clear, Steve Bannon was a private citizen for about three years prior to January 6th and the only reason this ‘commission’ could want to speak with him is because of his role as a media personality and highly successful livestream influencer.  After hundreds of FBI agents, federal prosecutors and complicit judges have made a travesty of justice through the harsh confinement of Americans who are guilty of no more than misdemeanor charges, this commission has zero to add to the discourse.

“However, if they were honest, they would focus on things that directly pertain to the House of Representatives in their inquiry.  For instance, they would ask why the Capitol Police and the Speaker’s office, which overseas them, lied about the death of Office Brian Sicknick, who, contrary to initial reports and the subsequent media narrative, died of natural causes unrelated to January 6th.  They would ask why intelligence was ignored by the Speaker’s office, leaving the Capitol Police unprepared on January 6th.  And they would pressure the FBI about their so-far failed investigation into the shadowy person who traversed Capitol Hill on the evening of January 5, placing what have been described as bombs at both the Republican National Committee headquarters and the Democrat Headquarters.

But instead, they are trying to throw Steve Bannon in jail. Perhaps the term Star Chamber is too nice of a description for this elected mob of partisan and never-Trump revenge seekers.”

New York Times gets it wrong, again!

October 8, 2021

New York Times Forced to Correct Key Covid ‘Fact’

 

Fairfax, Va. – Americans for Limited Government President Richard Manning issued the following statement today  in reaction to news that the New York Times was forced to issue a correction when it grossly overstated the number of children hospitalized due to Covid: 

“The New York Times had to correct a gross exaggeration of the number of children who have been hospitalized with COVID 19.  As the former newspaper of record, which now acts as a public relations arm of the far left, the Times is often at the front line of for legitimizing misinformation.  In the latest example, the paper claimed that ‘nearly 900,000 children had been hospitalized’ with COVID 19 when the real number is  ‘more than 63,000 children hospitalized from August 2020 to October 2021.’

“This is not just adding a zero by mistake, it is a clear instance of either a reporter and presumably their editor having no idea how to read data, or a blatant attempt to create a splash headline that would spread into the American consciousness as frighteningly real before anyone could get the truth out.  An honest look at the New York Times abuse of facts in the past, would lead any objective observer to conclude that manipulation rather than incompetence is at the root of the ‘mistake’.

“Remember, it was the New York Times which breathlessly ran with the story that Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died from injuries sustained by being hit with a fire extinguisher on Jan. 6th.  In mid-February, the Times quietly changed the story after the entire country was led to believe that the Jan. 6 events at the Capitol were violent.  The Coroner’s report on Officer Sicknick’s death revealed that he died of a stroke that was unrelated to the Jan. 6th Capitol events.

“Facts matter, and one thing that is obviously true is that the New York Times no longer cares about facts, having sacrificed truth on the altar of a Marxist narrative long ago.”

McAuliffe Joins Federal Government in Seeking to Silence Parents

October 5, 2021

At stake is the relationship between the people and their government

 

Fairfax, Va. – Americans for Limited Government President Richard Manning issued the following statement today in reaction to news the Biden administration will use mobilize the Federal Bureau of Investigation against parents who speak out against public school board policies.

“Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe stated unequivocally that he does not believe parents have a place in their own children’s education at a debate last week.  Now, Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland has declared that parents opposing Critical Race Theory should be treated as terrorists by invoking the Patriot Act over their opposition.

“Historically, all Americans used to agree about the First Amendment to free speech. The First Amendment was created as a protection to our God-given right to be able to disagree with public policies, seek redress from the government, exercise freedom of religion and yes, run a newspaper or blog without government interference.  But McAuliffe  thinks that parents in the Commonwealth of Virginia should just sit down and shut up and accept the indoctrination of their children by those who are fundamentally transforming America.  And now the federal government is seeking to criminalize standing up for your children and the future of our nation by opposing Marxist indoctrination.  The issue is bigger than Critical Race Theory though, it is a question of the relationship between the people and their government.

“Virginia’s Thomas Jefferson defined this relationship in the Declaration of Independence writing, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.’

“Virginia’s James Madison wrote the Constitution and Virginia’s George Mason played a major role in encapsulating this relationship through the first ten amendments to it, which today is known as the Bill of Rights.  The first of these is freedom of speech and religion.  And it is this first right that is at stake by both McAuliffe’s proclamation against parents role in the curricula taught in taxpayer funded schools.  It is this right which Washington, D.C. overlords want to scuttle by invoking a law that was mistakenly passed in response to the terrorist attack on 9/11 against parents who actually care enough about their kid’s education to show up at school board meetings to have their voices heard.

“As we watch Biden’s ongoing assault on commonsense and our basic freedoms, we are reminded that ‘elections have consequences.’  In Virginia you have an election for governor right now.  I am no Glenn Youngkin cheerleader, but his opponent has told Virginia voters what he thinks of them.  He has told Virginia’s parents that they don’t count. If Virginians do not go out right now to cast your ballots against this tyranny that the greatest sons of Virginia risked their lives and fortunes to oppose 245 years ago, then you will get the government you deserve.  One that rules you, rather than you ruling it.

“And as you are voting for the House of Delegates, please reject those who stand with McAuliffe in his dismissal of parent’s right to be heard.  It is a time for choosing, there are no excuses.  The left has bared their teeth and told you exactly who they are.  The only question that remains is will you kneel or will you stand and vote them from power?”

Biden’s Attack on Public School Parents Cannot Stand

October 5, 2021

Americans have a right to speak out and organize in favor or against public policies. 

Fairfax, Va. – Americans for Limited Government President Richard Manning issued the following statement in reaction to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland mobilizing the Federal Bureau of Investigation against parents who speak out against public school board policies.

“The Biden administration has gone into full attack mode against the First Amendment right to petition the government as his Attorney General has declared that parents opposing Critical Race Theory before their local school boards should be treated as terrorists under the Patriot Act.

“This abuse of that dubious post-September 11 law proves once again that while well-intentioned, twenty years later, the Patriot Act is one of the biggest legislative mistakes in our nation’s history.  The politicization of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigations has led to many well-chronicled abuses of power. However, the brazen application of this anti-terrorism law against parents voicing opposition to a Marxist education policy that racist academicians are trying to force down the throats of their children is such a step beyond the intended scope of the law that Congress must take steps today to repeal it.

“The announcement by Attorney General Merrick Garland falls hard on the heels of an FBI request for 200,000 encrypted protonmail emails accounts in an unprecedented mass surveillance operation targeting conservatives.

“Congress needs to begin the process of repealing the Patriot Act, and holding Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray accountable for its abuse. In the meantime, state attorneys general need to push back hard against these broad, sweeping measures which criminalize political activism.  Governors, state legislatures, county commissions and school boards must denounce the characterization of the very taxpayers who pay for the schools as being terrorists because they support Martin Luther King, Jr’s ‘I have a dream’ vision.  And state and local governments should deny any and all public funds from being spent for membership in the National School Board Association which asked that the terrorist designation be given to parents opposing Critical Race Theory.  There is no excuse for a single taxpayer dollar to go to an organization which has declared war on the parents of the children entrusted to them.

“Americans have a right to hold election officials accountable for their decisions.  Americans have a right to petition government at all levels for redress.  Americans have a right to speak out and organize in favor or against public policies.  The attempt by Garland to criminalize these actions is grounds for his impeachment.”

Senate confirmation of eco-terrorist-linked activist proves Democrats are all radicals now

October 1, 2021

The fact every Democrat in the Senate voted for her nomination, makes it clear that the idea of ‘moderate’ Democrats is defunct.”

 

Fairfax, Va. – In response to the Senate confirmirmation of President Joe Biden’s eco-terrorist-linked nominee, Tracy Stone-Manning, to serve as the new Director of the Bureau of Land Management, Americans for Limited Government Presient Richard Manning issued the following statement:

“The lunatic fringe that is the Biden administration just got nuttier as the Senate confirmed on a party line vote the nomination of Tracy Stone-Manning to be the new Director of the Bureau of Land Management. Stone-Manning is an eco-terrorist and she will be directing the agency which oversees one in ten acres in the United States and 30 percent of our nation’s minerals. For all the accolades hoisted upon some Democrat senators for saving the filibuster and not caving on the absurd $3.5 trillion Biden Wreckonciliation bill, it must be shocking to some that not a single Democrat voted against a nominee who was involved in a tree-spiking case in the late 80s and early 90s. Tree spiking is the practice where a metal rod is put in a tree with the intent of breaking a saw blade and doing grave harm to the foresters operating it.

“Now she is going to be deciding whether any mineral leases will be let by the federal government and will have the capacity to effectively shut down any new mineral or oil and gas development. For all those who believed that Joe Biden would be a ‘moderate’ president, Stone-Manning puts those notions to bed forever. The fact every Democrat in the Senate voted for her nomination, makes it clear that the idea of ‘moderate’ Democrats is defunct.”

Democrats Will Own A Government Shutdown

September 24, 2021

Democrats wanted to run government on partisan basis, they can own the consequences.

Fairfax, Va. – The White House on Thursday began to advise federal agencies to prepare for the first government shutdown of the Covid-19 era and the administration’s Office of Management and Budget is alerting federal agencies that, barring a new appropriations bill, they are expected to execute shutdown plans next week. Americans for Limited Government President Richard Manning issued the following statement in reaction to the developing story:

“Federal government office buildings have been virtually vacant for the past eighteen months because federal workers still haven’t returned from the Covid shutdown.  What’s more, in the past three years, federal workers pay has been guaranteed in the event of a ‘shutdown’ which explains why Speaker Pelosi has had the House of Representatives on recess for all of September.  If there is a ‘government shutdown,’ it lies directly on the doorstep of the Speaker, Majority Leader and the president.  Their on-going choice to take their non-existent majority in the Senate and three vote majority in the House of Representatives and  attempt to fundamentally transform America through it, has created the likely shutdown.  They wanted to run the federal government on a strictly partisan basis, so now they own the consequences of that decision.

“Over the next seven days, Democrats will need to work with Republicans to strike out their extremist agenda and include some policy language that limits government power in a number of areas to fix the chasm of distrust they have created. One obvious area that must be addressed is the Biden threat to ration Covid medicines as a weapon to force compliance with his forced vaccination dictates.

“Sen. Marco Rubio has drafted legislative language to allow local hospitals to order Covid cures such as monoclonal antibodies treatment directly from the manufacturer, rather than having to go through federal or state government. This would cut off Biden’s ability to deny access to medicines to those most in need. The reality of health care rationing under a federal government controlled health care system is now out in the open, and can no longer be denied.

“I would like to see Sen. Rubio’s proposal included as an amendment to any government funding bill under consideration. This would go a significant way toward ending the Biden adminisration’s attempt to ration healthcare by inserting the government between a patient and their doctor.”

ALG Backs Rubio Bill Targeting Woke Corporations

September 23, 2021

Mind Your Own Business Act, would enable shareholders to hold woke corporations accountable

Fairfax, Va. -U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) introduced the Mind Your Own Business Act, which would enable shareholders to hold woke corporations accountable.

Americans for Limited Government President Richard Manning issued the following statement in support of the measure:

“Woke corporations seem to be jumping over each other to prove who is willing to give more money or change corporate direction to accommodate a loud group of far left activists who are characterized as ‘stakeholders.’ Senator Marco Rubio has introduced legislation which would require these corporations to justify these actions based upon the fiduciary responsibility they have to shareholders (who actually are the owners of the company and have an expectation that profit will be the primary focus).

“Americans for Limited Government strongly supports Senator Rubio’s leadership on this important issue.  Pensioners, those who hope to retire someday and other investors have a right to expect that the company’s they own are acting in their interests and not being the pawns of people whose goal is to destroy the free market system.”

Specifically, the legislation would require corporate directors to prove their “woke” corporate actions were in their shareholders’ best interest in order to avoid liability for breach of fiduciary duty in shareholder litigation over corporate actions relating to certain social policies. It would also incentivize corporate management to stop abusing their positions to advance left-wing social policies by increasing their personal liability to shareholders for breaches of fiduciary duty resulting from those policies.
