Congressman Pfluger introduces Congressional Review Act resolution to strike down Biden’s vaccine mandate
Wednesday, November 17th, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) introduced a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution, alongside more than 160 House Republicans, to formally nullify President Joe Biden’s tyrannical vaccine mandate imposed on businesses and workers.
Senator Mike Braun (R-IN) also introduced a companion bill in the Senate with the support of all 50 Republican Senators.
“President Biden’s vaccine mandate is clearly unconstitutional,” said Congressman Pfluger. “Forcing hard-working Texans to choose between their jobs and a personal medical decision will not be tolerated. Congress has the ability to nullify this tyrannical mandate, and we should. Our country faces serious problems with skyrocketing inflation, supply chain backlogs, and a shortage of workers. This mandate will only exacerbate these crises further. I will continue to fight for workers and Main Street businesses in Texas-11.”
Pfluger Opposes Trillions in Socialist Spending
Friday, November 19th, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) voted no on President Joe Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Build Back Bankrupt Agenda—a reckless spending bill and tax increase in U.S. history that will sabotage the economy and hand over unparalleled control to the federal government.
“This Democrat party believes the government should control every aspect of our lives—from spying on our personal bank accounts to radicalizing our children’s education. The Biden/Pelosi agenda massively raises taxes on all Americans, drives inflation, grants amnesty to over 8 million illegal immigrants, and provides for taxpayer funded abortions. It hires 87,000 new IRS agents to go after everyday Americans, and saddles our children and grandchildren with at least $367 billion dollars of debt.
“Every Democrat who voted for this radical reshaping of our country voted against rural America, against energy producers, against farmers and families—and voted for tax hikes on all Americans, for amnesty for illegal immigrants, and for suffocating government control.”
Pfluger Pushes for Energy Security in the Face of Russian Aggression
On December 1, House Foreign Affairs Committee Member August Pfluger (TX-11) joined Lead Republican Michael McCaul and other Republican members in sending a letter to hold the Biden Administration accountable for their failure to support U.S. private sector investment in Central and Eastern Europe in the face of Russian aggression.
Representative August Pfluger (TX-11): “Energy security is national security, and nothing is more important. We are currently witnessing Putin weaponize energy in real time against our allies and partners. It is imperative the Biden Administration follow through on the commitments made by President Trump to bolster the energy security of allies and counter Russian aggression. President Trump already laid the groundwork to export American LNG to our Eastern European allies and loosen Vladimir Putin’s stranglehold over the region. I am pushing President Biden to put Midland over Moscow and empower American energy producers and our allies.”
Pfluger: America must save the lives of innocent babies
On December 2, as the Supreme Court began oral arguments for Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case involving Mississippi’s abortion ban, Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) spoke on the House Floor in support of the pro-life movement.
“Babies deserve the right to live, and we have the responsibility to defend that right.
Today, the Supreme Court is considering the most critical abortion case since Roe v. Wade was tragically decided 50 years ago.
It has been 50 years too long. 50 years of abortions, 50 years of abandoning the defenseless, and 50 years of federal laws that violate the consciences of the vast majority of Americans - Americans who support life and are opposed to their hardearned taxpayer dollars funding abortion.
But today, the Supreme Court has the opportunity to protect that right to life - an opportunity that the state of Texas is championing.
Since the passage of the Texas Heartbeat Law on September 1st, almost 10,000 Texan babies have been saved, pregnancy help centers and other women’s health clinics outnumber abortion clinics 20:1, and the state now spends $100 million on abortionalternative services—including medical care and counseling.
I want to put this in perspective. As somebody who served in the military, most countries ascribe to the law of armed conflict. And when an enemy combatant—an enemy combatant—asks for mercy, and asks for their life to be saved, it is the law of armed conflict that directs combatants to save that life. Yet in America, we are not saving the lives of innocent babies.
I am urging the Supreme Court to make the right decision and I am praying for those justices to save the lives of the unborn.”
