“Congress should carefully consider the proposed reforms and not just push through a half-measure without proper debate or deliberation. Further work is needed to address the serious abuses by intelligence agencies like the FBI to spy on U.S. citizens and the Trump campaign in 2016. The need to protect the sensitive information has to be balanced with the constitutional protections afforded to our citizens. The FISA process should never allow the opportunity for political motives to corrupt the process, as was the case with U.S. citizens connected to Trump’s 2016 campaign, like [Carter] Page.”

“House Democrats’ proxy voting scheme would allow Members of Congress to cast votes on behalf of American citizens from entirely different districts and states who never elected them for representation. We will not tolerate this unconstitutional attempt to upend 200 years of precedent and silence the voice of the American people.”

“During this pandemic, and always, it is critical that we prioritize the mental health of Americans, especially veterans, who may be experiencing COVID-19 related distress. An unfathomable 6,000 United States veterans commit suicide each year. This alarming statistic is why I support creating a national suicide hotline number that is easily accessible to all so they may get the help that they need when they need it most.”

“The purpose of unemployment benefits is to temporarily support Americans during difficult times, not to provide a more lucrative alternative to going back to work. With unemployment numbers skyrocketing, we should be creating incentives for businesses to open and bring employees back on payroll so people can support themselves instead of relying on the government.”

“The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted the fact that so many critical products and aspects of America’s medical supply chain are controlled by shady foreign governments, like Communist China. In times of national emergency, we must be able to rely on our own country to provide necessary supplies to keep our citizens safe. This legislation empowers American manufacturing and puts America first.”

“The trucking industry is victim to bureaucratic rules that delay deliveries and hinder safety procedures. I am pleased to see that FMCSA is starting to cut back some of the arbitrary time restraints and mandatory interruptions that lead to the spoilage of products and dangerous driving practices.”

“While our small businesses work to get back on their feet and employees back on payroll, the last thing they should be worried about is paying taxes on the assistance they receive. Taxing the aid is counterproductive to the intent of this program and an unnecessary hurdle to bring our Main Street businesses back.”

“With nearly a fifth of Florida’s human trafficking victims being children, we need to empower our educators and administrators to understand the signs and protect our students. The safety of our children is a top priority in our education system and this legislation will protect precious lives by giving vulnerable children the support systems they need.”

“Since the Chinese Communist Party routinely uses technology to invasively monitor their citizens, there is no reason to think that they would not use the same technology to spy on Americans. We have already seen their true colors with the CCP’s handling of COVID-19, so let’s not give them another means to manipulate America’s safety and security.”

“The Logan Act is just another tool in the deep state’s belt to manipulate the justice system to serve their political agendas. This law has never been used in the history of our country until the dishonest and politicized FBI used it to try and take down a decorated public servant and attack President Trump’s Administration. It should be repealed immediately to prevent another breakdown in justice like this tragedy.”

“The World Health Organization was aware of this pandemic early on and chose to parrot Communist China’s propaganda rather than notifying the world of this imminent public health threat. There needs to be a full and thorough investigation into their management of this pandemic and a complete audit of their leadership.”

“We have a responsibility to ensure that local chambers of commerce and nonprofits are empowered to fill their important role in our small business communities as they have before the COVID-19 pandemic. This bipartisan legislation will help small business owners address their unique problems with local resources and provide a support system that will continue to serve our communities long after this crisis subsides.”
