🧵 1. A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote against any religious institution, including schools, universities, hospitals, and charities. The media doesn’t want you to know about the Do No Harm Act. They won’t ask her about it because they know the answer.
2. This is the truth: Kamala Harris doesn’t believe that religious institutions should be able to live according to their faith. Rather, they must bend the knee to the popular social justice movement of the day.
3. Not a single mention of the severe threat Kamala Harris presents to religious liberty—including for Latter-day Saints.
4. There’s an argument to be made that the Do No Harm Act was a (if not THE) centerpiece in Kamala’s short tenure in the Senate. It has among the most co-sponsors of any legislation she introduced.

5. Here’s a link to Kamala Harris’s Do No Harm Act.

6. I struggle a little to understand why Latter-day Saints would vote for her, in light of her efforts to gut the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, but to each his own.
7. I struggle far more to understand why the Church’s media operation would go out of its way to help her hide her crusades against religious freedom.
8. Don’t just take my word for it. Please take a look at this opinion piece, correctly analyzing Harris’s hostility toward religious freedom, published by Michael Gerson in The Washington Post:

🧵 1. This will be the first time Senate Republicans have elected a new leader in nearly 18 years. We should have the chance to meet as a conference following the general election in November and—after hearing each candidate’s pitch—choose our next leader.
2. That’s not too much to ask, especially when we’re electing our next leader.
3. If it takes time to do our due diligence, so be it.

🧵1. I first heard the name “Russell M. Nelson” in the summer of 1978, when my parents told me about the world-class, Utah-based surgeon who—in an unusual coincidence—would perform open-heart surgery on both of my maternal grandparents, Ben and Marian Griffin, on the same day.
2. I vividly remember, as a seven-year-old child, praying for Dr. Nelson, whom I had never met. I was very close to my grandparents—who had just returned from an assignment for @Ch_JesusChrist in Spain—and wanted them to live for a long time.
3. I knew that my grandparents’ ability to (a) survive the surgery, and (b) live more than a few more months depended on Dr. Nelson’s success in the operating room.

🧵 1. The Constitution’s first provision says that the power to make federal law rests solely with Congress, whose members are all elected.

But most federal laws today are made not by Congress, but by unelected bureaucrats.

That’s wrong.

Fortunately, there’s a way to fix it.
2. Enter the **REINS Act**. This legislation aims to restore the balance of power by requiring Congress to approve and enact any new “major rule” regulation—that is, a regulation with significant economic impact ($100M+)— before it can become legally binding.
3. **Why is this important?** Because unelected bureaucrats, despite their expertise, are not accountable to the public, while elected officials are.

The REINS Act would ensure that major policy decisions affecting millions would be debated and voted on by those we elect.

🧵 1. The U.S. government should *never* be allowed—either directly or by funneling resources through a third party—to support clandestine propaganda campaigns to influence public opinion among U.S. citizens.
2. If the government identifies a need to communicate a particular message—like “don’t start forest fires”—it should always be accompanied by a disclaimer like this one: “this message was prepared and communicated with the support of the U.S. government.”

Americans should know.
3. The worst of all worlds is to have the U.S. government supporting efforts to influence Americans’ perceptions—and ultimately their opinions—without Americans knowing that the government is trying to influence their thinking.

🧵1. Your First Amendment rights shouldn’t depend on whether you own a media company.

The government aggressively regulates individuals when they support a candidate.

Why should media companies get a free pass?

In fairness, government shouldn’t regulate either in this context.
2. The government shouldn’t regulate either citizens or media companies in the way they choose to support their preferred candidates, but it’s unfair, constitutionally indefensible, and likely to favor one party over the other to regulate individuals but not media companies.
3. One might argue, “but it’s fair to give media companies more rights because … freedom of the press. Those who have press credentials have their own shout-out in the First Amendment, so they have more rights.”

🧵 1. Speaking, writing, publishing, and broadcasting about politics is core political speech, entitled to the highest degree of protection under the First Amendment.

Sadly, how much freedom you have to do those things—free of government control —can depend on who you are.
2. If you own a newspaper or broadcasting company, you can say, write, publish, or broadcast whatever you want—helping or hurting any candidate you choose—and the government will leave you alone.

This is as it should be.

We don’t want government influencing such things!
3. But if you don’t own a newspaper or broadcasting company—if you’re a candidate seeking federal office or just and ordinary citizen who wants to support one—how you publish or broadcast your support is subjected to strict federal regulation, disclosure requirements & oversight.
