Under H.R. 1 / S. 1 (the Corrupt Politicians Act), massive amounts of elections-related power would be transferred from the states to the federal government. The bill interferes with the ability of states and their citizens to determine qualifications for voters, to ensure the accuracy of voter registration rolls, to secure the integrity of elections, to participate in the political process, and to determine the district boundary lines for electing their representatives.
This massive centralization of power into the hands of incumbent lawmakers is D.C. politicians way of trying to make sure the game is rigged in their favor. But politicians already in Washington should not be choosing who goes to Washington voters should!

Radicals are cramming a federal takeover of elections through a key vote on the Corrupt Politicians Act, part of their plan with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to transform America into a permanent one-party socialist nation.
Tuesday, the Senate Rules Committee voted along party lines to send S. 1 – the Senate version of H.R. 1, which is officially named the For the People Act but which is better named the Corrupt Politicians Act – to the Senate floor. Normally a 9-9 tie vote in the Rules Committee would doom a bill, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has muscled through a perversion of Senate rules to take to the Senate floor legislation and nominations that should have died in committee.

Joe Biden wants to be FDR, but he may have to settle for Jimmy Carter. The eerie echoes of those days are starting to replay in a lot of Americansâ minds as they watch the world unravel â almost overnight. By nightfall Tuesday, the lines for gas up and down the east coast were so long that the traffic jams spilled onto the main streets. People everywhere raced to fill up tanks and whatever else they could hold, as panic spread. Along the southern border, the state of emergency hit a fever pitch when the surge hit a two-decade high. In Israel, Arab terrorists are on the verge of âfull-scale war.â Prices are skyrocketing, inflation is shooting fear throughout the market, and what is the presidentâs response? âThis is progress.â
