House conservatives draw red lines on must-pass defense spending bill
Rep. Chip Roy says, 'It is imperative the NDAA address the concerns of the American people regarding their military'

House conservatives have drawn red lines on the annual defense spending bill, called the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), demanding that congressional leaders permit rank-and-file lawmakers to amend the legislation to remove "woke" military policies.
In a letter sent to the chairmen and ranking members of the House and Senate Armed Services committees on Tuesday, Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and other conservative Republicans said negotiations over the must-pass defense bill must include "key reforms" on abortion policy, the Selective Service, COVID-19 vaccine mandates and President Biden's "radical social agenda."
"We must prioritize the promotion of a lethal military and ready force to defend our nation’s interests around the globe," the conservatives wrote. "Under no circumstances should the upcoming NDAA be brought to the floor of either chamber without several key reforms needed to ensure a focused military."
The letter was also signed by Reps. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., Bob Good, R-Va., and Barry Moore, R-Ala. The GOP congressmen outlined four policy issues they say must be addressed before the NDAA advances out of committee and moves to a full vote in the House.
