 |
|
|

|
|

| 2015-10-27 | Reauthorizing the Export Import Bank [HR597] | Passed (313-118) |
 |
|
 |
| This bill reauthorizes the Export-Import Bank for four years. This Depression-era bureaucracy primarily helps a select few multi-billion dollar corporations increase their international business.

| 2015-10-28 | Busting the Budget Caps [HR1314] | Agreed To (266-167) |
|
|
|
| This bill busts the budget caps voted on by Congress, increasing the caps by $50 billion in Fiscal Year 2016 and by $30 billion in Fiscal Year 2017. The bill also suspends the debt limit until March 15, 2017. ACU supports the budget caps as the only brake on increased federal spending, which has resulted in a national debt of $19 trillion. | |||||

|
|
|
| This resolution invokes the Congressional Review Act to disapprove the EPA's Existing Power Plant Emissions Rule. ACU opposes the the EPA's attempt to use federal executive action to impose the cap and trade plan rejected by Congress in 2010, a plan that will drive up electricity costs for everyone. | |||||
| 2015-12-18 | Omnibus Appropriations [HR2029] | Agreed To (316-113) |
|
|
|
| This portion of the bill contains a 2,000 plus page Omnibus Appropriation that busts the budget caps by $50 billion and includes major increases for Obama pet programs while doing nothing to prevent the federal funding of Planned Parenthood. The bill also ignores many provisions passed by the House Appropriations Committee, including the restriction of funds for sanctuary cities and placing restrictions on the FCC's ability to enforce "net neutrality" rules, giving the federal government power to control the Internet. ACU opposes these massive bills that are passed with little discussion and are not allowed any amendments. | |||||
