1. Democrat Politician Protection Act
Oh wow! The Speaker of the House is using her deranged take on President Trump's perfectly reasonable remarks to promote #HR1 which is otherwise known as Democrat Political Protection Act.
Please allow Mitch McConnel to explain what's in it.

2. #HR1 is all about Democrats angling for more control over what you can say about them and how they get reelected.

3. #HR1: Apparently the Democrats define "democracy" as giving Washington a clearer view of whom to intimidate and making citizens more vulnerable to public harassment over private views.

4. Under #HR1 you would keep your right to free association as long as your private associations were broadcast to everyone. You'd keep your right to speak freely so long as you notified a distant bureaucracy likely run by the same people you criticized.

5. #HR1 goes so far as to suggest that the Constitution needs an amendment to override First Amendment protections.

6. With #HR1 Democrats aren't only coming after free speech. They're also taking aim at your wallet. Dems are pitching new taxpayer subsidies, including a 600% govt match for certain political donations and a new voucher program to funnel even more public dollars to campaigns.

7. With #HR1, Democrats would like you to also pay for generous new benefits for federal bureaucrats. #HR1 proposes making Election Day a new paid holiday for government workers and six additional days' paid vacation for federal bureaucrats to work the polls during any election.

8. This is the Democrat plan, enshrined in #HR1, to "restore democracy": extra taxpayer-funded vacation for bureaucrats to hover around while Americans cast their ballots.

9. Even more egregiously, #HR1 dedicates hundreds of pages to federalizing the electoral process. It would make the states mimic the practices that recently caused California to incorrectly register 23,000 ineligible voters.

10. #HR1 would would make it harder for states to fix inaccurate data in their voter rolls. Yet #HR1 declines to address the sketchy "ballot harvesting"-- perhaps because the practice is perfectly legal in California, where Democrats made huge gains in 2018.

The End
