Chairman Matt Schlapp and Eduardo Verastegui: Answering The Call To Fight Socialism In Latin America Chairman Matt Schlapp and Eduardo Verastegui: Answering The Call To Fight Socialism In Latin America The destructive fire of socialism is quickly spreading throughout Latin America. While autocratic regimes in Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela continue to repress their people, violating and denying their most basic human rights, new radical socialist governments have taken over in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru. And just a couple of weeks ago, the corrupt Leftist former president of Brazil, Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, won the general election in that country to return to office for a third term in January of next year. These new socialist regimes represent a serious threat to democracy and fundamental freedoms in the entire region. And that’s why this year, CPAC and the Viva Mexico Foundation are calling on conservatives from all over Latin America to join us in a regional movement to fight the radical Left, which will launch with CPAC Mexico on November 18 and 19. The new socialist governments are committed to advancing their agenda through cultural Marxism: fostering social confrontation based on race, religion, gender, and economic differences. Their goal is to destroy the Judeo-Christian civilization of Latin America, imposing a new order that seeks to redefine the individual by undermining the individual, family, government, and religious institutions that are essential to preserving a stable and free society.

CPAC Releases Nebraska Legislative Scorecard, Revealing Underwhelming Results from a Republican Majority.  CPAC Releases Nebraska Legislative Scorecard, Revealing Underwhelming Results from a Republican Majority. ALEXANDRIA, VA (June 5, 2023) — CPAC Foundation’s analysis reveals a wide disparity between legislators in the Nebraska Unicameral, with just 14.2% of the legislature earning an award from CPAC for voting with the conservative position on legislation more than 80% of the time. SEE THE SCORECARD HERE “Though the Nebraska legislature was composed of a healthy conservative majority, Republican lawmakers missed the opportunity to defend conservative values in the 2022 session," Said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp . "Thankfully Nebraska reversed course in 2023, with conservatives holding the line to defend life and protect children from radical irreversible gender procedures." The following Nebraska state legislators are recognized by CPAC for their conservative voting records based on a just-released analysis from CPAC Foundation’s Center for Legislative Accountability. The following members earned CPAC’s Award for Conservative Achievement: Steve Halloran (88%) Tom Briese (86%) John Lowe (85%) Robert Clements (83%) Steve Erdman (82%) Dave Murman (82%) Dan Hughes (80%) The bills featured in CPAC's 2022 Ratings of Nebraska addressed various issues including protections against men competing in women’s sports, the expansion of second amendment rights, increased election integrity, and tax reductions. These issues, coupled with our mission to protect life, liberty, property and uphold the American family, created the basis by which the CPAC Foundation rated Nebraska legislators. The Center for Legislative Accountability (CLA), an initiative of the CPAC Foundation, is the premier organization for holding lawmakers accountable. The CLA produces the longest-running conservative congressional scorecard and our state program is the only one in the nation that scores all 8,000 lawmakers in the 50 states across every policy area. ### Contact: comms@conservative.org (202)-347-9388 NEWS & RELEASES .

Murdock: ACU Ratings site “makes it a snap” to see which party is most extreme Murdock: ACU Ratings site “makes it a snap” to see which party is most extreme Fox News Contributor Deroy Murdock recently highlighted the ACU Foundation Center for Legislative Accountability’s “recently modernized Web site” and its ability to filter Members of Congress to see which party actually has the most extreme leaders. The American Conservative Union’s recently modernized Web site makes it a snap to review senators’ and House members’ votes clear back to 1972. Running from 0 for most liberal to most conservative at 100, the ideological spectrum cleaves into thirds: left (0 to 33), middle (34 to 66) and right (67 to 100). Moderate Democrats should inhabit this center slice. Good luck finding them there. “Normal” Democrats who loudly claim to be in the middle are on the left — often deeply so. The new ratings site makes the in-depth ratings history of both Congress and all 50 state legislatures available to compare across parties, issues, geography, and even decades.

Requested Investigation of Activities Intended to Sabotage Administration of Justice Requested Investigation of Activities Intended to Sabotage Administration of Justice Dear Chairman Jordan and Ranking Member Graham: Recently, we saw the progressive Left and their co-conspirators in the media attempt to intimidate Justice Samuel Alito by attacking his wife. Her offense? Merely flying a flag. The transparent effort was just the latest attempt to sway the outcome of high-profile cases before the Supreme Court using a coordinated campaign of character assassination and intimidation. Indeed, we can set our calendars by the timing of these efforts. Each year, as the Court concludes its term, radical left-wing activists conjure up ridiculous, if not imaginative, ways to attack the Justices and their families. Their hope is to pressure Republican-appointed jurists in cases of Constitutional significance or push them to recuse themselves altogether. A perfect example of this was the recent faux-outrage over Mrs. Alito flying the “Appeal to Heaven” flag. Somehow, according to the woke mob and its collaborationists in the press, flying a flag designed and commissioned by George Washington somehow translates into a reason Justice Alito should recuse himself from cases involving the January 6th protests. This is utter rubbish. It highlights not only the biased nature of the Fourth Estate as an adjunct of the Democrat Party, it demonstrates a breathtaking double-standard with respect to the conduct of spouses of Supreme Court Justices. For example, during Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s tenure on the High Court, her husband was a well- known tax attorney representing corporate and wealthy individual taxpayers at the high-profile law firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson. Despite her husband having client interests in many of the cases ultimately decided by the Court, no one ever demanded Justice Ginsburg recuse herself. In contrast, the Democrat echo chamber at ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC/NBC/PBS chimed in almost in unison, claiming that Justice Alito had a conflict of interest because of the activities of his spouse, thus, requiring recusal in their eyes. Over the years, Democrat appointees to the Supreme Court have regularly attended salons hosted by Georgetown doyennes, abortion apologists, and media mavens. They have taken subsidized trips and spoken at events sponsored by organizations with political leanings. One liberal Justice was found to have asked government employees to assist in selling copies of the Justice’s book for personal financial gain. None of these examples triggered wailing from left-wing activists like we hear every spring when controversial matters before the Court hang in the balance. The reason is that the Supreme Court Outrage Industry is made up of organizations funded by radical, woke billionaires using dark money pools to hide not just their identities, but even the existence of the influence operation itself. They coordinate their attacks with their allies in the media in hope of cowing Republican-appointed Justices at critical junctures in our Constitutional history. It must end. Congress has virtually unlimited power to conduct oversight and investigations. We urge you to open a Congressional investigation into this matter using the full oversight powers provided to the legislature by our Founders. The goals of such an investigation should be to: (1) to ensure these and similar organizations are in compliance with the tax and election laws of the United States; (2) review the effectiveness of current laws to protect and insulate members of the Court from pressure campaigns as well as physical violence; and (3) bring a measure of transparency to this ugly series of attacks. Organizations such as Fix the Court, Demand Justice, the Open Society Foundation, the Tides Foundation, and others should be held to account. As the Supreme Court itself noted: “Since we are committed to a government of laws and not of men, it is of the utmost importance that the administration of justice be absolutely fair and orderly. This Court has recognized that the unhindered and untrammeled functioning of our courts is part of the very foundation of our constitutional democracy." Congress must act to ensure that the Supreme Court remain “unhindered and untrammeled." Thank you for considering this urgent request.

CPAC Launches J6Facts.org Ahead of DNC Infomercial CPAC Launches J6Facts.org Ahead of DNC Infomercial Alexandria, VA – As Nancy Pelosi and her pal Lynne Cheney eagerly await their primetime, made-for-TV, campaign infomercial, CPAC is fighting the partisan charade with the truth about the events of January 6 via a new website, J6Facts.org . “The January 6th Committee has never been interested in uncovering the truth,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp . “From day one, the committee has been an overt political attempt to create a narrative that has nothing to do with the issues facing Americans today, like pain at the pump, a shortage of baby formula, and inflation through the roof.” “The committee has been as hostile to the truth as it has been to Donald Trump and issues that affect Americans,” Schlapp continued. Chief among the facts that Americans must hear are: • February 2021: During an unconstitutional impeachment, President Trump was ACQUITTED of the charge of “incitement of insurrection.” • The Capitol Police was half staffed on January 6 • Democrats have encouraged BLM and antifa rioting • The J6 Committee has already cost over $4 million • The Biden Justice Department has dropped multiple cases against BLM rioters from summer 2020 CPAC is committed to stepping in and fighting back against the political antics of the January 6th Committee.

CPAC Statement on Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger’s attempt implement the failed Ranked Choice Voting System. CPAC Statement on Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger’s attempt implement the failed Ranked Choice Voting System. Alexandria, VA — CPAC released the following statement on Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger’s attempt implement the failed Ranked Choice Voting System. “Georgia’s legislature enhanced their election laws to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat. As a result, all elections this cycle saw high turnout for both parties. In his vain attempt to garner attention from the media and the socialist left, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is looking to disenfranchise voters by making it harder and more confusing to vote by seeking to change the Georgia voting system to Ranked Choice Voting (RCV). “Replacing a proven and effective voting system for no good reason other than to wield power over the people is disingenuous and wrong. “Ranked choice voting is wrought with issues . RCV is confusing to the average voter which leads to less voter participation, especially in off year or non-marquee races. RCV is a much more arduous process to tabulate delaying the final results for days and even weeks. “When all legal votes are counted and each voter is given one choice and one vote, our system works. Secretary Raffensperger is looking to take the place of former Congresswoman Liz Cheney as the “Republican” darling of the left. He should instead do his job by seeking ways to increase voter turnout, not suppress the vote by implementing an onerous process that only hurts the people he was elected to serve. “CPAC calls on Governor Brian Kemp and the Georgia legislature to reject Secretary Raffensperger’s attempt to upend Georgia’s successful election reforms by implementing the failed Ranked Choice Voting System.” ### NEWS & RELEASES .
