House Democrats gleefully passed a sweeping, 600-page government ‘reform’ package, known as H.R. 1, that will never be brought to the floor of the Senate.
The bill contains “dozens of provisions favored by liberal advocacy groups, labor unions, and other Democratic allies,” passed on a strictly party-line vote, 234-193.
It is a hard-left bill that will make it easier for illegals to vote, among other awful initiatives. It will ban the removal of anyone from the rolls — ever. It will allow ballot harvesting. It will give enormous tax dollars to politicians, setting up a whole new industry.
It gives union workers six days off to work the polls. It gives the party in power all the power.

It federalizes the vote and takes it out of the hands of the states. It’s a massive government takeover by the Socialists — the Democrat Party.
It ensures a permanent progressive electoral majority.
MCCARTHY’S EXPLANATION IS THOROUGH

Rep. Andy Biggs went to the floor to talk about a couple of the provisions in the “monstrosity of a bill.” It’s a scheme to promote Democrat politicians.
H.R. 1 is a monstrosity of a bill, rife with problems throughout its hundreds of pages. So much so that Democrats rushed it to the floor with an alarming lack of mark-ups to hide its countless deficiencies. pic.twitter.com/68s8TRvgaF

It funnels taxpayer money to political candidates by establishing public financing for congressional elections. That’s the whole new big government industry McCarthy talks about.
One of the issues w/ the bill is the provision for millions of taxpayer $ to be funneled to campaigns around the country. You & your neighbors will be funding candidates from sea to shining sea regardless of whether you agree with them or not. Don’t you have a problem with that?

Democrats claimed H.R. 1 would get money out of politics. But instead it’s going to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of candidates and campaign consultants. How it works: if someone gives a campaign $100, the federal government will give that campaign $600. pic.twitter.com/W8ItvdrfSP

To put it in perspective, we are only a handful of Senate seats away from this becoming reality.
Vote in the 2020 elections or preparer to fight in the 2021 civil war.
