ALG Releases New Ad as Congress Tries to Defund Doctors

“Under a new surprise billing proposal, Democrats would actually cut resources for our frontline healthcare workers”

Fairfax, Va. – Today, Americans for Limited Government announced a new cable TV ad buy urging Congress to reject a dangerous government rate-setting proposal that would defund frontline doctors in the midst of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. Big health insurance companies and their allies in Congress are taking advantage of a massive end-of-year spending package to force price controls into healthcare. If passed, the proposal will devastate rural healthcare providers by leading to doctor shortages and hospital closures.

“Congressional Democrats clearly haven’t learned their lesson from the 2020 election,” said Americans for Limited Government President Richard Manning. “Defunding those who protect us from harm is not only dangerous policy, the political ramifications are serious as well. Congress should address surprise medical billing, but massive pay cuts for our doctors on the frontlines at the height of the pandemic is not a credible solution. Defunding our doctors would only result in harming patients and our healthcare system. It is absurd that Nancy Pelosi wants to punish the very healthcare providers who have been the true heroes of this pandemic. Her callousness knows no end.”

The ad, titled “Defund,” will run in the Washington D.C. market on Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC.

ALG in Arizona Fighting for Election Integrity

Government only has legitimacy when it is formed through the consent of the governed.

Fairfax, Va. – Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today joined more than two dozen Members and Members-Elect of the Arizona Legislature in the courtyard of the State Capitol demanding election integrity.  Manning issued the following statement:

“I am honored to be joining more than twenty Arizona state legislators who are fighting to ensure that the state’s voters are represented in the Electoral College by electors supporting the presidential candidate who won the race.  With Maricopa County in need of a full, honest audit, Gov. Ducey should take steps to delay the naming of electors until the outcome is absolutely certain. Americans should applaud these courageous legislators who are fighting to ensure that only legal votes were counted correctly.  The government only has legitimacy when it is formed through the consent of the governed.  I am proud to stand with them today.

I call on every American who wants free and fair elections in the future, to join with these Arizona lawmakers in demanding a full, honest election audit.”

China didn’t hack the election, they ran it!!!

Faifax, Va. – NTD News is reporting that a Securities and Exchange Commission filing reveals the Communist Chinese government purchased Dominion Voting Systems one month before the November 3 election.

“If true, a report that the Communist Chinese government bought Dominion voting is beyond stunning.  It appears that the Chinese government purchased one of the key electronic voting systems companies through a New York subsidiary of UBS Bank.  The subsidiary has multiple board members with deep ties to the Chinese government.  The implications of this revelation, which was first brought to light by attorney Lin Wood, are almost difficult to fathom as it calls into question everything we think we know about the integrity of our elections.

“In a nutshell, the Chinese didn’t hack our elections, they purchased the machines that processed our elections. No state with fraud contentions should certify any electors to the Electoral College as this true bombshell combined with the massive ballot box stuffing operation conducted by some local elections officials make it truly impossible to certify electors for any presidential candidate.”

Republicans must stop Pelosi’s steal of House seats in Iowa and New York

Dec. 4, 2020, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement in response to attempts to overturn the outcomes of the Iowa 3rd Congressional District and New York’s 22nd Congressional Districts:

“It is outrageous that Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats are attempting to steal Republican-won House seats in Iowa and New York by refusing to seat the duly elected winners, Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Claudia Tenney. This is not the first time that Democrats have stolen seats in the House with the most notorious example being the 8th Congressional District in Indiana in 1984. But the simple fact is that the House of Representatives will be ungovernable for Pelosi without stealing those two seats, with only 222 Democrats currently. Pelosi has already been publicly berated by surviving members representing moderate to conservative districts for providing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her squad too much power. Now, AOC appears to have at least six total members who can impose their will on the House simply by refusing to pass any rule or bill that is not radical enough. Pelosi’s attempted two-seat steal is designed to provide her a cushion against AOC, and Republicans in Congress cannot let her get away with it.”

Scaled back Covid relief proposal would help small businesses and foster economic recovery

Fairfax, Va.— Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement on a bipartisan proposal to provide Covid economic relief:

“The compromise proposal on Covid economic relief legislation appears to be a promising framework that will ensure that the state-led lockdowns will not have another disastrous effect on small businesses by reupping the Paycheck Protection Program by $288 billion, and more broadly the economy as a whole by supporting a more rapid recovery in 2021. We look forward to seeing all of the details as the Senate, House and White House all work towards final passage.”

Congress delists non-transparent Chinese companies from U.S. exchanges

Now Labor Department must act

Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement praising Congress for unanimously voting for legislation that delists non-transparent, unaudited Chinese companies from U.S. stock exchanges:

“It is incredible news that the House has followed the lead of the U.S. Senate to unanimously make law that will delist any non-transparent, unaudited Chinese company from U.S. stock exchanges. This will undo the sweetheart deal by Joe Biden with Chinese President Xi Zinping that resulted in the 2013 Memorandum of Understanding by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board overseen by the SEC, allowing 156 Chinese companies with market caps of $1.2 trillion to be listed on U.S. exchanges. Now that Congress has done its job, once President Trump signs this bill into law, it will be up to the federal government to implement it, including and especially Labor Department Secretary Eugene Scalia, to ensure that U.S. retirement portfolios are shielded from non-transparent, slave-holding Chinese companies that will now be delisted in the U.S. Many of these companies use child and slave labor in concentration camps. And if Chinese investments are not suitable for U.S. exchanges, then they are not suitable for American retirement portfolios either under ERISA. We thank both the House and Senate for its bold action, and President Trump for his leadership and determination to challenge China that made this law possible in the first place.”

Georgia signature verification essential to legitimacy of election

Nov. 30, 2020, Fairfax, Va.–Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement urging the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to complete signature verification of absentee mail-in ballots in accordance with Georgia state law:

“Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has an affirmative responsibility to ensure that the Georgia election results reflect the actual legal votes cast in Georgia for the presidential race. There is no way to certify the results  without allowing signature verification on mail-in absentee ballots in accordance with state law. In March, Raffensperger’s office entered into a consent decree that effectively nullified the ability to determine fraudulently filed mail-in ballots. Given the massive increase of mail-in ballots from 2020 compared to 2016, it is reasonable for the Georgia government to follow the written law in order to make certain that the Covid emergency was not used as a pretense for voter fraud. While we recognize that the consent decree was agreed to under stressful times, it is clear that the interest of the people of the state of Georgia demand signature verification with 100 percent scrutiny from both political parties to put concerns about the election’s outcome to rest.”

Pebble Mine decision delivers devastating blow to domestic rare earth metal development

Fairfax, Va. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers today denied a permit for the proposed Pebble Mine, a project that would have dramatically increased the domestic availability of a rare earth metal that is critical to our national security. Below is the reaction of Richard Manning, president of Americans for Limited Government:

“This is a devastating blow to America’s national security. The Pebble Mine would have dramatically increased the United States’ available supply of the element rhenium which is essential for the manufacture of aircraft engines.

“If you cannot mine the barren tundra of Alaska, you cannot mine anywhere in America. The U.S. government traded this property to the state in exchange for more pristine property used to create Lake Clark National Park with full knowledge that it would be zoned for mining by the Alaskan government. The precedent set by this decision will do major harm to the Trump administration priority of developing domestic rare earth metal resources and makes us more reliant on the Communist Chinese government for rare earth minerals essential to our national defense.

“Finally, this sends a clear message to investors that the U.S. is off limits to new mining.”

Reap what you sow, Gov. Cuomo

Fairfax, Va. – It is payback time for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who declared his state a sanctuary state and refused to obey federal immigration laws. Now many New York sheriffs are refusing to enforce his draconian Covid edicts.  Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning issued the following statement in reaction to these acts of civil disobedience:

“New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s sudden discovery that civil disobedience works both ways as local sheriffs are choosing not to enforce his draconian economic shutdown edicts is refreshing to Americans who watched in dismay as Cuomo and other far-left mayors and governors engaged in harboring illegal aliens from deportation.

“Cuomo and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, along with cities like San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, have set the predicate that local and state jurisdictions don’t have to follow federal law. In Seattle and Portland, they have refused to provide citizens with the protections promised by state law. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, with some localities and their citizens refusing to enforce or comply with emergency shutdown orders that destroy communities economically, endanger the mental health of their citizens and deny their children the opportunity to get a quality public education in defiance of federal health official recommendations, perhaps they understand that their power only extends as far as the people’s willingness to comply.  Mandates that have not been put through and legitimized by the legislative process are subject to refusal by those who would see their property rights and health jeopardized by them.

“As the Bible says, you reap what you sow, and for those elected officials who preached disobedience to federal enforcement of one of their basic constitutional responsibilities, they are now discovering the ugly truth that without the consent of the governed, they are like the emperor with no clothes, just foolish, vain, little potentates, naked for the world to see.”

Overt fraud now commonplace and accepted!

Pennsylvania Needs to demand independent election audit

Fairfax, Va – Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning issued the following statement today in reaction to the Pennsylvania Secretary of State certifying the 2020 presidential election results in the state:

“It comes as no surprise that the Democrat who oversaw the Pennsylvania election, one of the most fraud-filled elections in American history, certified the results of that fraud without allowing the court cases to be adjudicated.  It is appalling that overt fraud has become common place and accepted in certain circles, but the American people deserve and demand that only legally cast votes be counted and that they be counted accurately.  The Commonwealth’s state legislature should immediately perform an independent election audit to ensure that Pennsylvania’s electoral votes are cast for the person who actually won the election.”  Electionauditnow.org
