(Joshua Paladino, Headline USA) With strong prospects heading into the 2022 midterm elections, House Republicans have started developing a 2023 legislative agenda to pitch to the American people, the Washington Examiner reported.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has assigned every Republican to a task force that will develop a legislative agenda on the most important issues, including education and, parents’ rights, responses to growing Chinese power, border security and illegal immigration, and Big Tech regulation.
Republicans feel confident about retaking the House as polls show the American people strongly dislike President Joe Biden and oppose ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and forced medical treatment.
Plus, 29 House Democrats—many of them veteran campaigners—have announced their retirement, forcing Democrats to spend resources on some once-solid seats.
Republicans plan to present voters with a “Parents’ Bill of Rights.”
The legislation, which Republicans would place among their Top 10 priorities, would force public schools to post their curriculums online, to tell parents about violence on school campuses, and to mandate parent-teacher conferences.
The new Bill of Rights does not state anything about banning LGBTQ or anti-white indoctrination.
Republicans also want to pass legislation that would declassify information related to the origin of COVID-19 and outlaw federal gain-of-function research grants to people tied to the Chinese Communist Party.
Another issue that Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and other America First conservatives have discussed is an aggressive oversight plan.
That means Republicans want to compel testimony about the deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, the Jan. 6 insurrection hoax, the open Southern border, and other moral and political scandals.
Republicans also want to eliminate the House Democrat’s procedures in the Capitol, including proxy voting and metal detectors for members of Congress.
They may remove Leftist Democrats from House committees, including Reps. Adam Schiff of California, Eric Swalwell of California, and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
