July 29, 2021 Press ReleaseWashington, D.C.- Today, on a party-line vote, the House of Representatives passed a seven-bill package with a price tag of nearly $600 billion. This legislation increases spending by 21% over last year. This legislation was full of radical left-wing priorities and repealed several bipartisan and longstanding pro-life protections.Congressman Lamborn issued the following statement:"Once again, the Democrats have drastically increased domestic spending while simultaneously ramming through the most pro-abortion spending bill in history. Our country is in crisis mode. We are facing a surge at our southern border, rising inflation, and spiraling debt. Now is not the time to pass legislation that amounts to nothing more than a progressive wish list. We should not be prioritizing green new deal initiatives, funding critical race theory, removing all pro-life protections, or forcing taxpayers to fund abortions that violate their conscience. This legislation even seeks to close Guantanamo Bay, allowing terrorists be brought into the United States. The Senate must reject this partisan package."Contact: Cassandra Sebastian (719) 520-0055 Issues:Federal Spending and the Economy
