Title: TPPF Sues the CDC
Topic: CDC Power Grab

Discussed by Robert Henneke
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

In March 2020, the CDC essentially nationalized rental property in the US. They are now trying to extend the ban on evictions. Is this good or bad for the American population?

Robert Henneke is the General Council for the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did the CDC announce a ban on evictions in March 2020?

Did the CDC implement an outrageous fine plus possible jail time if a property owner attempted to recover their property? Is the CDC defending the ban in the name of “fairness”?

The Texas Public Policy Foundation and the Southeastern Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit on behalf of private property owners. Why the are they fighting this power grab by the CDC?

Did Joe Biden extend the ban on evictions?

We all agree that we should have compassion on renters during this difficult time. What if someone flat-out refuses to pay, though? Is that fair to the home owner?

How did the Federal Court rule in the TPPF’s court case against the CDC?

Title: What are Democracy Dollars?
Topic: Democracy Dollars

Discussed by Robert Henneke
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

In a move that surprised many, including the attorney who brought the case, the Washington Supreme Court has agreed to hear Elster v.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What are Democracy Dollars?

How many “average Americans” actually contribute financially to political campaigns?

Is this a bipartisan issue? If not, why do so many Liberal want to implement Democracy Dollars?

Is it constitutional to force people to subsidize political speech they might not support? Is it ethical? Is it a proper role of city government?

Listen as Robert Henneke offers more details about the Austin proposal…

Title: EPA Overreach: They Want your Water
Topic: EPA to Regulate Your Puddle and Ditch

Discussed by Robert Henneke
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

Part 1 of 2

Water is everywhere. In your backyard. On your driveway. In the street in front of your house. You probably don’t ever give it a second thought (unless it was during or after Tropical Storm Bill). The EPA is paying attention, though, and that is bad news for everyone. Back in 1972, Congress gave the EPA the authority to govern navigable waters through the “Clean Water Act”. However, in recent years, the EPA has taken this regulation out of context.

Robert Henneke is the Director of the Center for the American Future at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. He discusses how these laws have been so broadly expanded by the Executive Branch that they do not even remotely resemble the original statutes. Robert says, “It’s hard to find a better example of this then the recent abuse we’re seeing coming out of the EPA in their ‘Waters of the United States’ rule adoption. It is nothing more than a federal land-grab and attack on private property ownership.”

If the EPA is given permission to regulate water on private land, Robert says, “Property owners would be required to secure costly and time-consuming permits.” There is also the threat of criminal prosecution if property owners do not comply with these regulations, which is, in my opinion, just outrageous!

Now is the time for Congress to step up and stop the EPA, not give them more control. We must challenge our elected officials to do what’s right. Listen to the next segment with Robert Henneke as he continues explaining the EPA’s shameful overreach.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - EPA Overreach: They Want your Water
Topic: EPA to Regulate Your Puddle and Ditch

Discussed by Robert Henneke
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

There is no doubt that the EPA is definitely in cahoots with the environmentalists. But just how deep does their alliance go?

Robert Henneke discusses the left’s play-book nicknamed ‘Sue and Settle’ and ways the Center for American Future  plans to stop the EPA and the Obama Administration. Private citizens who own their own property do not deserve this kind of treatment. They should not be forced to abide by rules meant for commerce purposes.

The Center for American Future  is fighting for you and your rights. They believe the government, especially the EPA, needs to stop having their behind-closed-meetings. It is time to force the EPA to abide by the Constitution and common sense. Click [here]  for more information.
