Democrats Pushing HR1 Reforms Through House Without Hearings, Few GOP Amendments
The Epoch Times ^ | March2, 2021 | Mark Tapscott

Posted on 03/02/2021 7:27:13 PM PST by Aquamarine

Democrats pushed their H.R. 1 “For the People Act” to the House floor on March 2, while allowing consideration of only a handful of Republican amendments and after only a single perfunctory committee hearing.

The massive proposal of nearly 800 pages would make federal laws out of many of the most controversial 2020 presidential election voter registration and voting procedures—measures that were originally implemented by state officials in response to the CCP virus pandemic and national lockdown. The virus is also known as the novel coronavirus.

The House debated the bill most of the morning, then began consideration of 56 amendments allowed to be brought to the floor for votes. Only seven of the amendments were authored by Republicans. A vote on final passage is expected on March 3.

Among the most hotly contested provisions of H.R.1 are those providing universal national mail-in balloting, registration of 16- and 17-year-olds, permanent early voting, minimal verification for online registration, legalization of ballot harvesting, federal matching funds to candidates for private contributions, and voting rights for felons upon completion of their sentences.

But the proposal also contains major changes in a multitude of areas of American governance, including such constitutional issues as bureaucratic regulation of who can say what and when about a candidate for federal office. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) would be converted to a partisan-majority-rules entity rather than the present structure that requires bipartisan support for regulations.

The proposal also allows federal candidates to draw salaries from campaign funds contributed by individuals and special interests concerned about proposals before Congress, a form of compensation that has never previously been legal.

Watch how fast the filibusterer rules are invalidated. They will clear the covid relief with reconciliation. Then pass this voter nullification bill, then the gun control bill by voting to remove the filibusterer. I don’t see how we avoid it, nor do I see any way of fighting it. We lost this when we allowed them to steal the 2020 election with little to no resistance.

Sinema, Fienstein and Manchin said no to changing filibuster. In fact, the press asked Manchin when he could change his mind? He said never! Sinema wants 60 votes for everything....everything.

We’ll see how the pukes vote when the bill is in front of them next to their names on an Epstein island flight log.

Not that they’d ever take advantage of the gaping holes in ballot integrity that they are pushing, of course. </S>

Thanks, napscoordinator! Hopefully, they will stand fast on those decisions in order to keep our country from...well, you know.

Otherwise known as the “Banana Republic Pro-Voter Fraud Bill.” The Dems will not stop until they’ve made elections totally irrelevant in this nation. But we have to keep opposing their assaults on free and fair elections and their attempts to institution one-party authoritarian rule.

Of course not! The poor innocent Dems have no ulterior motives for ordering the states to remove all significant measures to prevent voter fraud, essentially announcing that voter fraud will now be acceptable if this bill gets passed by the Senate and signed into law…

He has already charged US with the job of purging

President Trump said he does not want a third party and wants to strengthen the Republican party.

WE, the people, are in charge of challenging and making patriotic, OUR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS

It's not his job
