Freedom First Society

Issue: Several. Question: On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass Certain Bills (2/3 vote required).
Result: Passed 349 to 74, 8 not voting.

Freedom First Society: In an unusual procedure, representatives were asked to approve 16 bills with a single vote. Although some of the bills were apparently trivial corrections of prior legislation, others were clearly continuations of unconstitutional federal intrusions (see Read More).

We have assigned (good vote) to the Nays and (bad vote) to the Yeas. (P = voted present; ? = not voting; blank = not listed on roll call.)

Bill Summary (FFS): 16 bills were lumped together for this vote:
H.R. 297, H.R. 433, H.R. 478, H.R. 586, H.R. 721, H.R. 768, H.R. 810, H.R. 1205, H.R. 1260, H.R. 1324, H.R. 1448, H.R. 1475, H.R. 1480, H.R. 2862, H.R. 2955, and H.R. 2981.

FFS Analysis: Among the above, we cite the following as clear federal intrusions in state matters without any constitutional authorization:

H.R. 433 Family Support Services for Addiction Act of 2021;
H.R. 586 Suicide Training and Awareness Nationally Delivered for Universal Prevention Act of 2021;
