CPAC Note

Note from Roman Buhler  
The Madison Coalition

Are you coming to CPAC this weekend in at the Gaylord Hotel at National Harbor near Washington DC?

Would you like to help us talk to people about how the Regulation Freedom Amendment could help curb the. President's abuse of power?

Now that 8 state legislative chambers have passed Resolutions urging Congress to propose the Amendment, and more than 400 state legislators, 2 Governors, the American Farm Bureau, the General Counsel of the RNC and the past Chair of the NRA have endorsed it, people are going to be very interested.

Let me know if you would like to help.

We can get you some handouts to give to people you talk to, but the key is to gather names, emails, and phone numbers of people who would like to hear more.

All you have to do is ask:

"Have you heard about the Regulation Freedom Amendment, endorsed by 2 Governors, 400 state legislators, the General Counsel of the RNC and the past President of the NRA to curb the President's abuse of power? Do you have 1 minute?

Eight legislative Chambers have already passed Resolutions urging Congress to propose it.

The Regulation Freedom Amendment
would require that Congress approve major new federal regulations and just like states forced Congress to propose the Bill of Rights, 2/3 of the states could force Congress to propose it.

Even the threat of states forcing Congress to act would deter regulators and give us a great issue for 2016:

Should regulators keep their power to dictate from Washington or should they be more accountable to elected officials?

If you'd like to hear more give us your email and phone.

(If you'd like to endorse it right now, we can show you the exact language and add you to our list)"
TEXT: "Whenever one quarter of the Members of the U.S. House or the U.S. Senate transmit to the President their written declaration of opposition to a proposed federal regulation, it shall require a majority vote of the House and Senate to adopt that regulation."

HOW YOU CAN HELP: We're looking for people to 1) Ask your friends to endorse the Amendment 2) Call a state legislator and ask him/her to endorse it-we can give you someone to call. 3) Tell us you want to help so we can get you more involved.

Let me know if you would like to help and we can set up a time to meet.

I am planning to meet interested people at 8 am on Friday at the Hotel Gaylord registration desk but we could meet at another time as well.

My phone is 202 255 5000.  Or reply to this email.

Thanks

P.S. If we don't act to curb abusive federal regulators, who will?
