The Democrats’ Fantastical “For The People” Act Is A Farce
After the elections in 2020, it’s more clear than ever that our election laws matter. That’s what makes the latest radical plan in Washington so concerning.

Conservative Party Opposes Increasing Legal Age To Purchase Tobacco Products
S.3978 (Savino)/A.273 (Rosenthal) raises the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21.
