Ban on Central Bank Digital Currency  |  SB330

SB330 bans state government agencies from accepting a payment using a Central Bank Digital Currency, and from participating in any test of this type of currency by the Federal Reserve.

The House passed SB330 on June 6, 2023, by a vote of 103 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would be an unconstitutional and intolerable expansion of tyranny under the Federal Reserve—presenting a significant danger to Americans’ civil liberties. According to Article 1, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution, “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” States can and must act now to avow their adherence to constitutionally sound money.

State Income Tax Rebate  |  HB175

HB175 offers a “one-time refundable income tax credit to qualified taxpayers to partially offset the amount of sales taxes paid on groceries throughout the tax year.”

The Senate passed HB175 on June 1, 2023, by a vote of 25 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the income tax is an immoral, anti-constitutional act of government-imposed theft that takes from citizens the wages they have rightfully earned. It disparages the principles of both the Bill of Rights and the 14^th Amendment, which were intended to safeguard “private property” and guarantee “equal protection of the laws” for all Americans.

Firearm Prohibited Person Database  |  SB158

SB158 provides that the Alabama Firearm Prohibited Person database include “mentally ill persons” involuntary committed for “outpatient treatment.”  

The Senate passed SB158 on June 1, 2023, by a vote of 29 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this is a ‘red flag’ law that will further enlarge the unconstitutional state firearms prohibited person database, which had already included “mentally ill persons” involuntary committed for “inpatient treatment.” ‘Red flag’ laws are the latest gun control effort to permanently confiscate firearms from American citizens who have not even been charged with a crime—let alone found guilty. In conjunction with “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,” the Bill of Rights and the 14^th Amendment guarantee that no person shall be deprived of their liberty or property without due process.

Prohibiting ESG-Based Public Contracts  |  SB261

SB261 prohibits governmental entities from entering into certain contracts with companies that “boycott businesses because the business engages in certain sectors or does not meet certain environmental or corporate governance standards does not facilitate certain activities.”

The House passed SB261 on May 31, 2023, by a vote of 74 to 27. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the government does not have the constitutional authority to use public funds to compel private businesses to engage in ‘woke’ environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) investment scheme initiatives. As a part of a ‘social credit’ rating system that seeks to further the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, ESG denies the property rights of American citizens, preventing both companies and individuals from entering into contracts voluntarily according to their own social, political, or ideological interests. The Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment were intended to protect against undue deprivations or disparagements of a person’s “property.”

Parental Rights  |  HB6

HB6 recognizes that the government may not burden certain fundamental rights of parents.

The House passed HB6 on May 31, 2023, by a vote of 87 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the upbringing, care, and control of children belongs to—and is a fundamental right of—parents, not the government. Parental rights, as with all other fundamental rights, are protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Ban on Central Bank Digital Currency  |  SB330

SB330 bans state government agencies from accepting a payment using a Central Bank Digital Currency, and from participating in any test of this type of currency by the Federal Reserve.

The Senate passed SB330 on May 24, 2023, by a vote of 32 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would be an unconstitutional and intolerable expansion of tyranny under the Federal Reserve—presenting a significant danger to Americans’ civil liberties. According to Article 1, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution, “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.” States can and must act now to avow their adherence to constitutionally sound money.

Expanding Refundable Tax-Credit “Scholarships”  |  SB263

SB263 amends the Alabama Accountability Act to expand refundable tax-credit “scholarships” by raising the poverty threshold for lower-income parents and replacing the term “failing school” with “priority school.”   

The Senate passed SB263 on May 24, 2023, by a vote of 26 to 7. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education is not the role of government. A child’s education is the responsibility of—and a fundamental right of choice retained by—his or her parents. Moreover, refundable tax credits mean that “eligible” families in Alabama with little or no tax liability are given government funds to pay for their child’s education. Educational freedom cannot be achieved by forcing other citizens to furnish their hard-earned taxpayer dollars for a compulsory, failing, and government-run K-12 school system. 

Prohibiting ESG-Based Public Contracts  |  SB261

SB261 prohibits governmental entities from entering into certain contracts with companies that “boycott businesses because the business engages in certain sectors or does not meet certain environmental or corporate governance standards does not facilitate certain activities.”

The Senate passed SB261 on May 18, 2023, by a vote of 27 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because the government does not have the constitutional authority to use public funds to compel private businesses to engage in ‘woke’ environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) investment scheme initiatives. As a part of a ‘social credit’ rating system that seeks to further the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, ESG denies the property rights of American citizens, preventing both companies and individuals from entering into contracts voluntarily according to their own social, political, or ideological interests.

Incorporation of Federal Firearms Laws  |  HB392

HB392 would provide that “a person prohibited from possessing a firearm under federal law is prohibited from possessing a firearm under state law.”

The House passed HB392 on May 17, 2023, by a vote of 64 to 36. We have assigned pluses to the nays because federal gun control laws are blatantly unconstitutional. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees that the right of the American people “to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”  

Restricting Ballot Harvesting  |  HB209

HB209 would restrict a person from engaging or assisting in any way with the absentee ballot application or absentee ballot of another person, with certain exceptions.

The House passed HB209 on May 4, 2023, by a vote of 76 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the nays because ballot harvesting—as with mass voting by mail in general—enables electoral fraud, disenfranchising eligible voters. States should exercise their authority, under Article 1, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, to implement free, fair, and secure elections, providing equal protection of the right of American citizens to vote.

Protecting Student Athletes from Transgenderism  |  HB261

HB261 prevents male and female students from participating on athletic teams or sports designated for the opposite sex in public K-12 schools, colleges, and universities.

The Senate passed HB261 on May 3, 2023, by a vote of 26 to 4. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because not only does transgenderism absurdly attempt to erase biological “sex” with fictional “gender” constructs, but it also increases the risk of serious physical injury as well as emotional harm to female athletes by either permitting or forcing them to compete against males. According to the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the States have a duty to protect the humanity of all persons—male and female—who, as the Declaration of Independence affirms, are created by God and form the basis of individual and family self-government.

State-Mandated Kindergarten  |  HB43

HB43 would require a child to complete kindergarten or demonstrate first grade readiness before entering the first grade.

The House passed HB43 on April 18, 2023, by a vote of 87 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education is not the role of government. A child’s education is the responsibility of—and a fundamental right of choice retained by—his or her parents. Forcing the citizens of Alabama to furnish taxpayer money to expand a compulsory, failing, and government-run K-12 school system violates their individual liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. 

Election Integrity  |  HB194

HB194 prohibits the use of private donations to fund election costs and expenses (Zuckerbucks).

The Alabama State Senate passed HB194 on April 7, 2022 by a vote of 25 to 7.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our election laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. Tightening election laws preserve the integrity of the election process and keeping outside money out of elections will prevent outside influence of elections.

General Fund Budget  |  SB106

SB106 is the largest general fund budget in Alabama state history at $2.7 billion.  This budget included a raise of 4% for state employees, bonuses for retirees and increase spending on state agencies. This increase came because of the assistance of congressionally passed COVID-19 funds.

The Alabama State Senate passed SB106 on March 31, 2022 by a vote of 29 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this budget greatly expands the size and role of government. With a record in increase spending for government programs, leads to more people relying on the government in society. The spending of taxpayer money for purposes not authorized under Art. 1 Sec. 8 of the US. Constitution is unconstitutional.

Constitutional Carry  |  HB272

HB272 eliminates the requirement to obtain a permit in order to carry a concealed handgun.

The Alabama State Senate passed HB272 on March 10, 2022 by a vote of 24 to 6.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. The Constitution does not state where you can or cannot possess a firearm.

Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act  |  SB184

SB184 prohibits the use of puberty blockers and gender-affirming surgeries for minors. This legislation makes it a felony for doctors to prescribe puberty blockers or hormonal treatments to minors.

The Alabama State House of Representatives passed SB184 on April 7, 2022 by a vote of 66 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the left has been promoting radical Marxist ideas for years. This indoctrination is letting people believe that they can choose their pronouns and that they can be transgender. Scientifically and biblically, there are two genders. Minors are not old enough to consent and should not be able to choose to be something that they are scientifically not.
