Key House Vote Data for Nancy Pelosi in 2021

Date	Subject	Result	Conserv. Position	Pelosi Voted
2021-01-13	Impeaching President Donald J. Trump -- Second Impeachment [HRES24]	Agreed To (232-197)
This resolution represents Speaker Pelosi's (D-CA) and Democratic Majority Leader Schumer's (D-NY) second politicized impeachment attack on President Donald J. Trump. This resolution wrongfully alleges that President Trump incited a crowd to breach the Capitol on January 6th and threatened the integrity of the democratic system by highlighting credible cases of vote fraud in the 2020 election. ACU recognizes that on multiple occasions President Trump called for the protests on that day to remain peaceful. ACU further recognizes that at the time of this vote President Trump was a private citizen and this impeachment solely served as a personal political attack to prevent President Trump from seeking a future term and deny him government benefits and Secret Service protection as a private citizen.
2021-02-25	Expanding Lawsuit Abuse and Attacking Women's Sports via the "Equality Act" [HR5]	Passed (224-206)
The so-called Equality Act, sponsored by Rep. Cicilline (D-RI), serves as a new tool to enrich plaintiffs' attorneys and attack women's and girl's athletics. Specifically, the bill would expand the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include sex, sexual orientation and gender identity, thus exposing private businesses to new avenues of frivolous litigation and forcing women to compete against biological males. ACU opposes this measure which is designed to destroy the institution of women's sports and enrich plaintiffs' attorneys through frivolous litigation.
2021-02-27	Advancing $1.9 Trillion in Unnecessary COVID-19 Relief Spending via the "American Rescue Plan" [HR1319]	Agreed To (219-212)
This resolution, the so-called American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, unnecessarily plunges the nation trillions of dollars into additional debt under the guise of relief for COVID-19. This massive bill includes $1,400 checks for all individuals earning under $75,000 and further extends the $300 weekly federal unemployment benefits throughout the summer. ACU recognizes this program is rife with fraud and waste, supports the full reopening of the economy, and opposes discouraging employment and ruinous deficit spending.
2021-03-03	Advancing the Left's All-Out Attack on the Police via the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act [HR1280]	Passed (220-212)
The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021, sponsored by Rep. Bass (D-CA), serves as an all-out attack on law enforcement and would have tremendous negative consequences on local communities and public safety. The bill contains numerous provisions that would expose officers to such great criminal and legal liabilities that they would be unable to properly carry out their duties as public servants. Additionally, the bill would essentially federalize local police departments, while doing nothing to address collective bargaining agreements which protect bad cops by making it nearly impossible to fire them. ACU opposes the promotion of lawlessness through the leftist notion of "defunding the police" and opposes this measure which harms public safety.
2021-03-03	Weakening Election Integrity and Infringing Free Speech via the "For the People Act" [HR1]	Passed (220-210)
The "For the People Act," sponsored by Rep. Sarbanes (D-MD), should be titled as the "For the Politicians Act" as it attempts to improve chances of election victories for Democrat politicians at the federal, state and local levels. The bill contains countless provisions which weaken election integrity and promote vote fraud such as same-day, online and automatic voter registration. The bill also imposes a myriad of new campaign finance disclosure requirements and even makes Election Day a federal holiday. ACU opposes this partisan political ploy which infringes free speech and disenfranchises legitimate voters by increasing the risk of voter fraud.
2021-03-11	Establishing a Costly and Burdensome Barrier to Exercise Second Amendment Rights via the "Bipartisan Background Checks Act" [HR8]	Passed (227-203)
The so-called Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021, sponsored by Rep. Thompson (D-CA), would make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights by mandating "universal" background checks for nearly all private firearm sales and transfers. As a result, individuals privately selling a firearm would be forced to conduct the sale through a federal firearms licensee (FFL) and pay any fees charged by the FFL dealer. ACU recognizes that countless studies have found no correlation between imposing universal background checks and reducing unlawful usage of firearms. These sorts of legislative barriers do nothing to stop criminals from engaging in additional criminal behaviors; they just make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens who are not committing crimes to exercise their constitutional rights.
2021-03-17	Violating the Constitutional Amendment Process in Order to Advance the Long-Expired Equal Rights Amendment [HJRES17]	Agreed To (222-204)
This resolution, sponsored by Rep. Speier (D-CA), seeks to ratify the left's Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the U.S. Constitution by eliminating the 1979 ratification deadline. The ERA has nothing to do with treating individuals equally, but instead is a tool that was introduced by the left in 1972 to provide judges with carte blanche authority to abuse the legal system, including attacking the private sector and providing "rights" to abortions. Proponents of the ERA failed to meet the congressionally established deadline (1979) for ratification by 37 states. In response, this unconstitutional resolution seeks to provide a retroactive 41-year extension.
2021-03-17	Reauthorizing and Expanding Gun Control Measures within the "Violence Against Women Act" [HR1620]	Passed (244-172)
This bill, sponsored by Rep. Jackson-Lee (D-TX), would reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and violate Second Amendment rights through the expansion of the program's gun control measures. Specifically, the bill would rescind the Second Amendment rights of individuals with certain misdemeanors, a significant expansion which was previously only applied to individuals with certain felony convictions. Additionally, the bill would prevent a "dating partner" who is subject to restraining orders from purchasing a firearm, another expansion which the law currently only applies to married partners. The bill also contains countless new spending initiatives. ACU opposes this infringement of Second Amendment rights, and recognizes that VAWA has grown exponentially since its original passage and provides millions of taxpayer dollars to leftist organizations.
2021-03-18	Providing Amnesty and Welfare Benefits to Immigrants who Entered the Country Unlawfully via the "American Dream and Promise Act" [HR6]	Passed (228-197)
The American Dream and Promise Act of 2021, sponsored by Rep. Roybal-Allard (D-CA), rewards immigrants who entered the country illegally as minors with amnesty and full access to taxpayer-funded benefits. Under the bill, immigrants who entered the country prior to 2021 when they were supposedly under the age of 18, are provided a pathway to citizenship, including voting rights and eligibility for welfare and subsidized college. The bill even grants amnesty to immigrants with criminal histories.
2021-04-22	Expanding Democratic Political Power through DC Statehood [HR51]	Passed (216-208)
The Washington DC Admission Act, sponsored by Rep. Norton (D-DC), is designed to expand the power of the Democrat Party by making the District of Columbia the 51st state. Under the bill, the heavily Democratic-leaning district would be apportioned two senators in the U.S. Senate and one representative in the U.S. House of Representatives. The federal district would be reduced to a small strip of land that would include the U.S. Capitol Building, the White House and the National Mall. ACU recognizes this is purely a political measure to shift the balance of power in Congress by granting a heavily liberal region three new members. ACU further recognizes that if politicians truly cared about representation, they would ask Maryland to follow Virginia's lead in absorbing its portion of the district that was previously included in the state's borders.
2021-05-19	Advancing a Partisan Political Attack Through the Establishment of a January 6th Committee [HR3233]	Agreed To (252-175)
This resolution illegally establishes a committee falsely claiming to investigate the breach of the U.S. Capitol. Under House rules, Republican leadership selects members to the committee. But under this resolution, Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) can hand pick anyone she wants. In addition, this so-called committee has subpoena powers and is prohibited from investigating how Democrats were involved in illegal actions. ACU opposes utilizing taxpayer funds and resources to carry out baseless attacks on political opponents.
2021-09-24	Codifying Roe v. Wade and Providing a "Right" to Abortion at Any Stage via the "Women's Health Protection Act" [HR3755]	Passed (218-211)
The so-called Women's Health Protection Act of 2021, sponsored by Rep. Chu (D-CA), represents one of the most extreme attacks on the lives of the unborn. Specifically, the bill codifies Roe v. Wade into law while establishing a "right" to abortion on demand nationwide and at any stage of pregnancy. The bill would also force taxpayers, employers and insurers to pay for abortion and eliminate nearly every limitation or requirement put in place by any of the 50 states.
2021-09-30	Funding Biden's Unconstitutional Vaccine Mandates and Reckless Spending [HR5305]	Agreed To (254-175)
This is the first continuing resolution that funds the federal government through early December 2021, including the enforcement of the Biden administration's unconstitutional vaccination mandates on private businesses. The resolution also represents a lost opportunity to force significant spending cuts and combat the ludicrous fiscal agenda of the Biden administration such as "Build Back Better". ACU opposes the Biden administration's attack on individual liberties through vaccination mandates and supports all efforts to reign in the nation's out-of-control spending and nearly $30 trillion national debt.
2021-11-05	Authorizing Countless Wasteful Spending Initiatives via the $1 Trillion "Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act" [HR3684]	Agreed To (228-206)
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act contains over $1 trillion dollars in spending, with only a small fraction of the funds directed to actual infrastructure such as roads and bridges. Instead, the bill contains funding for an endless list of liberal priorities such as electric vehicles, green energy and special programs to benefit labor unions. The bill also contains countless new costly regulations (such as automatic emergency braking systems for new vehicles) and various other protectionist mandates. ACU opposes this grab bag of wasteful spending to benefit special interests under the guise of improving the nation's roadways. (Members of "The Squad" who opposed the bill for not including even greater spending were recorded as opposing the ACU position.)
2021-11-19	Advancing $1.8 Trillion in New Social Spending via the "Build Back Better Act" [HR5376]	Passed (220-213)
The so-called "Build Back Better" Act is nearly 2,500 pages long and contains nearly every leftist priority ranging from subsidies for renewable energy to government-provided pre-K and childcare to a new federal paid leave program. The bill, which is a signature priority for the Biden administration, costs $1.8 trillion and includes numerous tax hikes on corporations and individuals. ACU opposes destroying economic growth and further growing the nation's $30 trillion national debt.
2021-12-07	Raising the Debt Limit and Fueling Run-Away Spending via the "Protecting Medicare and American Farmers from Sequester Cuts Act" [S610]	Passed (222-212)
The so-called Protecting Medicare and American Farmers from Sequester Cuts Act further fuels Congress' spending free-for-all by bypassing the filibuster and permitting the debt limit to be raised with only 51 votes in the Senate. Additionally, the bill once again overrides the sequester spending cuts applied to Medicare by preventing a 4% statutory cut through 2023 and delaying the other 2% cut through March 31, 2022. ACU believes the tea-party era sequester serves as one of the last hopes for fiscal responsibility and opposes Congress' continual action of "kicking the can down the road" at a time when the national debt is set to exceed $30 trillion.
