Vote will last 3 days.
Sponsor: Rep. Leonard Hobbes (R-CA-41) Co-sponsor: Rep. Marcus Miliam (R-TX-17), Rep. Tom Coniam (D-AZ-4), Rep. Richard Perry (D-WV-2), Rep. Dick Dexter (R-CA-21), Rep. Micheal Wilt (R-TN-5), Rep. Leonardo Stackhouse (D-IL-10), Rep. Caspian Forsyth (I-CA-32), Rep. Scott Matthews (I-ID-1), Rep. Christian Bullitt (R-TX-27), Rep. Josh Frappier (D-MA-6), Rep. Tyler Warren (D-CA-14), Rep. James Cross (R-MS-2), Rep. Max Cherry (D-NC-2), Rep. Vernon MacGyver (D-MI-5) PARTY CONVENTION FREEDOM ACT I. Finding of Fact 1) The United States Government, using taxpayer funds, specifically provides and pays for every aspect of the Democratic and Republican Presidential nominating conventions. The base grant for each party is four million dollars plus a cost-of-living adjustment. 2) Millions of Americans do not ascribe to the views of either the Democratic or Republican parties. 3) The United States government, thus, is expressing financing and endorsing the positions of two political parties that do not constitute the wishes of all of its citizens. 4) It is not the responsibility of the government to meddle in America's free and fair election process. II. Authorization 1) Be it enacted, that the Federal Elections Commission no longer is given the authorization to finance any portion of any political party's Presidential nominating convention. 2) This legislation will go into effect upon its passage through Congress and the signature of the President of the United States. |
