CPAC Releases Georgia Legislative Scorecard, Revealing Conservative Victories in the Peach State. CPAC Releases Georgia Legislative Scorecard, Revealing Conservative Victories in the Peach State. ALEXANDRIA, VA (January 25, 2024) — CPAC Foundation’s analysis reveals that Georgia’s Republicans have generally continued to promote conservative values throughout the state. With a few exceptions, they excelled at combatting Leftism in policy areas ranging from radical gender ideology to election security. SEE SCORECARD HERE “Georgia Republicans deserve credit for banning Zuckerbucks that plagued past elections and for taking action to protect kids from radical irreversible gender surgeries.” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp . “This session we hope Georgia legislators will enact key conservative policies such as school choice and stopping destructive ESG mandates." CPAC recognizes the following members of the Georgia State Legislature for earning CPAC’s Award for Conservative Excellence for voting with the conservative position at least 90% of the time during the 2023 session: Senate: Shelly Echols (93%) Colton Moore (93%) Ed Setzler (93%) Brandon Beach (92%) Mike Dugan (92%) Larry Walker (92%) Chuck Hufstetler (92%) House: Leesa Hagan (91%) Emory Dunahoo (90%) Rick Jasperse (90%) Holt Persinger (90%) Rick Townsend (90%) Additionally, a few lawmakers in the Georgia State Legislature earned CPAC’s Award for Conservative Achievement for voting with the conservative position at least 80% of the time during the 2023 session. Their names are highlighted in gray in the scorecard. The bills featured in CPAC’s 2023 Ratings of Georgia address election security, school choice, and combating radical gender ideology. These issues, coupled with our mission to protect life, liberty, property and upholding the American family, created the basis by which the CPAC Foundation rated the Georgia legislature. 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.

Today, in two separate cases, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that university admission programs that use affirmative action and other race-based admission procedures are unconstitutional. Today, in two separate cases, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that university admission programs that use affirmative action and other race-based admission procedures are unconstitutional. Today, in two separate cases, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that university admission programs that use affirmative action and other race-based admission procedures are unconstitutional. Disguising racial discrimination under the name of affirmative action is a blatant violation of the Fourteenth Amendment and undermines the Equal Protection Clause of our Constitution. By a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court agreed. “Eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it,” wrote Chief Justice Roberts in the majority opinion. “Many universities have for too long wrongly concluded that the touchstone of an individual’s identity is not challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned, but the color of their skin. This Nation’s constitutional history does not tolerate that choice.” Today’s decision, in combination with Dobbs, serve as a triumphant return to restoring our tattered Constitution. President Trump deserves great credit for being the first Republican President in modern history to appoint Justices to the Supreme Court who regularly uphold our Constitution. These Justices have risked their own and their family’s personal safety to restore Constitutional merit against radical Leftists who want to use the Court to advance their woke agendas. While today’s decision is an important step, racial bias of all types must be eliminated from all institutions in our society, whether they go by the name of affirmative action or fall under the newest Leftist moniker of ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ (DEI). To do otherwise – no matter how well-intentioned -- simply fosters the ‘soft bigotry of low expectations.’ As Justice Thomas wrote in his concurrence, “The solution to our Nation’s racial problems thus cannot come from policies grounded in affirmative action or some other conception of equity. Racialism simply cannot be un- done by different or more racialism. Instead, the solution announced in the second founding is incorporated in our Constitution: that we are all equal, and should be treated equally before the law without regard to our race.” Since our founding in 1964, the Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) has advanced the movement to protect human dignity, religious rights, and individual liberties. Affirmative action wrongfully reduces an individual to their skin color while ignoring the importance of character and merit. Through CPAC’s ‘gold standard’ Ratings of Congress and the States, we have continually scored unconstitutional racism under the guise of race-based preferences since the flawed Bakke decision. CPAC supports today’s decision and will continue our fight to ensure equal justice under the law for all Americans.

ACU Encourages State Lawmakers to Stand up to Biden’s Left-Wing DOJ ACU Encourages State Lawmakers to Stand up to Biden’s Left-Wing DOJ June 25, 2021 America’s State Lawmakers Dear State Lawmakers, The Biden Administration’s Department of Justice just launched an attack on the Georgia Legislature for their work to protect the integrity of elections. This stands in direct opposition to the ideals of federalism upon which this nation was founded. It shreds the principle that in our republic, each individual has equal say in choosing who represents them. Our Constitution created a federal government of limited and enumerated powers. Unless specified otherwise, it is the constitutional responsibility of the states and state legislators to determine policies for their people – and to be accountable politically to them for those policies. Nothing was more fundamental to our new nation than the exercise of the franchise its citizens had fought for and won. With regard to elections, the Founders of our republic went even further than broad principles of federalism, specifically reserving to State legislatures the power to determine the “time, place, and manner” of holding elections. This wise provision has kept protection of voting for actual voters for over two centuries. Constitutional law and the Supreme Court have firmly established that States have the authority to craft their own procedures, expressing the will of their own citizens, in order to ensure their own elections (both State and federal) are fair, honest, and orderly. The State legislature of Georgia has done nothing other than what our Constitution and its people expect it to do. And they did it exceptionally well. The Constitution also specifies precisely how the national government can legitimately address any concerns they may have about State election laws – it authorizes Congress to pass a law of its own without infringing on the unique needs of each state. But if the federal bureaucrats currently in control fail to pass a constitutional law, as they have just failed to pass the Corrupt Politicians Act, they may not cover up their failures by deploying the federal executive branch against a state. They may not attempt to achieve their partisan ends through harassing litigation and political agitation. Sadly, that is exactly what this highly partisan DOJ has announced it is doing. In its complaint, the DOJ targeted several provisions of newly enacted laws in Georgia that are designed to keep elections fair and free in response to voters’ frustration with the 2020 election irregularities and their inability to be genuinely heard in court. Recent polls underscore that many of these provisions, especially the requirement to prove identity before casting a ballot, are overwhelmingly popular with the American people. Voter ID laws are common sense; two-thirds of States (including Biden’s home State of Delaware) currently enforce them. The DOJ has also condemned the prohibition of partisan ballot harvesting, electioneering efforts at polling places, and unsecured ballot drop boxes. Opponents of this legislation claim they want to increase access to elections. In reality, however, all they want is partisan power grab to dilute legitimate votes with unlawful votes to manipulate the outcome of an election. In addition to suing the State of Georgia for preserving the integrity of their elections, the DOJ ordered that all federal prosecutors and the FBI focus on making sure States do not pass or enforce election integrity measures. Even after this blatant overreach, the DOJ implored Congress to pass laws to give it more power to nullify State election integrity laws. There are no two ways about it – this is blatant THUGGERY! The action taken by the DOJ today demonstrates this administration’s determination to undermine states’ ability to govern themselves. United States elections must be decided by the people, not a self-perpetuating government of elites. The DOJ’s recent actions illuminate a politically driven decision with the 2022 midterm elections in mind. Its actions are designed to weaponize the power of the federal government to intimidate States attempting to empower all eligible voters (and only eligible voters) to make their voices heard at the ballot box – and to each vote just one time. This outrageous abuse of power must not stand. The DOJ has a real job. It must fairly enforce the laws of the United States that actually exist, not use its litigation power to intimidate states into settling frivolous cases. This shameful and transparently partisan lawsuit by the Attorney General at Biden’s demand will not withstand the test of constitutionality, nor the test of time. It must be legally resisted by every State – not just by Georgia – because every State’s authority is undermined by this outrageous lawsuit. The integrity of our elections, as well as the integrity of our constitutional system, is at stake. As a duly elected representative of the people, do not let the politically motivated DOJ intimidate you into surrendering your power. The DOJ’s attack on Georgia’s legislature is only the beginning of an all-out federal assault on state constitutional authority to administer their own elections – and no state is safe. The American Conservative Union will always stand by you in your fight to ensure that elections are easy to vote in and hard to cheat. You know that this lawsuit is a prelude to HR 4 and the reintroduction of pre-clearance – a provision in the Voting Rights Act that was overturned by the Supreme Court in Shelby Co. v. Alabama. We will make sure the American public becomes well-versed in this despicable initiative.

CPAC and ACU Release New Tool to Pressure Lawmakers to Vote More Conservatively CPAC and ACU Release New Tool to Pressure Lawmakers to Vote More Conservatively Alexandria, VA – The American Conservative Union Foundation (ACUF), host of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), has just released the 50th Edition of its annual Ratings of Congress . In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the scorecard, ACUF has released a comprehensive new platform to help better hold lawmakers accountable to conservative principles. The system breaks down voting records and will be used to help determine speaking invitations to the annual CPAC conference . The system demonstrates which lawmakers vote more conservatively than others, and even allows users to compare Members of Congress with state lawmakers. For example, Liz Cheney (74% rating) scores more liberally across 186 policy areas than her challengers, Wyoming state lawmakers Anthony Bouchard (90% rating) and Chuck Gray (94% rating). Platform Highlights: • Search the historical voting records of 15,000 lawmakers in Congress and the states • Run head-to-head comparisons of lawmakers utilizing 1.4 million votes • View 14,500 bills in all 50 state legislatures and 50 years of Congress This year, CPAC and ACUF will present awards to 122 of the 535 Members of Congress. The awards are presented to lawmakers who score 80% or better and are used to help voters and activists identify who is best at upholding conservative principles and who to rally behind. To produce this year’s scorecard, the ACUF’s Center for Legislative Accountability analyzed every vote taken last session and selected a wide-array of issues relating to fiscal, tax, regulatory, education, environment, Second Amendment rights, election security, life, and government integrity. All lawmakers in America at both the federal and state levels are scored on a 100-point scale. CLICK HERE to view a PDF version of ACU Foundation’s Ratings of Congress.
