Ted Cruz, Conservatives to Hold West Virginia Rally Against H.R. 1, the ‘Corrupt Politicians Act’Sean Moran 20 Mar 2021
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and conservative activists will hold a rally at the West Virginia state capitol Saturday against the “Corrupt Politicians Act.â€
The Council for National Policy Act will host a rally at the Charleston, West Virginia state capitol at 1:00 P.M. Eastern.
The rally will feature conservative leaders to rally against H.R. 1/S.1, the For the People Act, which the leaders refer to as the “Corrupt Politicians Act.†The legislation already passed the House. The rally will feature:
Sen. Ted Cruz;
Eric Berger, co-founder of FreeRoots;
Jake Hoffman, president and CEO of Rally Forge;
Ken Blackwell, board member of CNP Action and former Ohio secretary of state;
Kelly Shackelford, chairman of CNP Action, and president and CEO of First Liberty Institute;
Mike Thompson, senior vice president of CRC Advisors.
The rally precedes a hearing on the bill held by the Senate Rules Committee on March 24.
The rally would presumably work to lobby Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), a moderate Democrat and swing vote in the 50-50 split Senate.
Manchin’s support or opposition to the Corrupt Politicians Act could help pass or tank the legislation as it works its way through the Senate.
The Corrupt Politicians Act is 791-pages long and would enact a massive transformation of America’s electoral system.
The legislation would:
Federalize control over congressional elections;
Declare that standard state and local maintenance of elections systems, such as purging ineligible voters from voter rolls, limiting vote-by-mail, requiring voter ID, and establishing rules against felons voting, would erode the right to vote;
Restrict lawsuits against the rules in H.R. 1 to the federal court system, which is, coincidentally, favorable to Democrats;
Establish online and automatic voter registration;
Protect illegal immigrants from prosecution if they vote;
Establish same-day voter registration;
Register minors to vote;
Mandate early voting;
Establish nationwide vote-by-mail without a voter ID; and
Allow ballots to be counted ten days after Election Day.
