In a bold move, one conservative lawmaker is standing up for the people and refusing to pass a nearly 2 trillion dollar omnibus spending bill. The lawmaker cited their refusal was due to their conservative values and not wanting to make bad deals with a party that could potentially bankrupt the nation while refusing to secure the border. The 1.7 trillion, 4,000+ page Pelosi-Schumer omnibus spending bill was fast-tracked through the Senate but this process has been called an abomination by many citizens who are standing up and saying no. The lawmaker in question also noted that Americans voted to take Biden’s credit card away and it’s time for common sense to be brought back into Washington politics. The refusal of this bill is seen as a win for many citizens who have been vocal about their opposition of such bills being passed without proper committee processes or extending Title 42. This refusal also speaks volumes about how much power citizens can have when they stand together against what they deem as unjust legislation or policies. It is clear that there are still those in government who will fight for what they believe in and put the people first before any political gamesmanship or personal gain. It may not always be easy but it is possible if enough voices come together and speak out against something they feel is wrong or unjustified.
