As D.C. Democrats’ social spending agenda failed to progress in recent months, January has given rise to a new focus at the Capitol: voting rights.
A pair of proposed laws championed by the Biden administration and Senate Democrats would bring a slew of changes to our voting system, including restoring voting rights to felons, allowing federal oversight of state voting laws, invalidating state voter ID requirements, and various other measures that are all designed to loosen voting security.
And in typical liberal fashion, since Biden’s latest agenda is unlikely to move forward under the current laws of our country, he just wants to change them to get his way.

It’s infuriating.
Last year, the federal government offered up $123 billion to state and local schools to help make sure schools stayed open with in-person classes as our options for managing COVID-19 advance.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Western world has kept schools open since the fall of 2020 – with many countries choosing to let students attend in-person classes without mask requirements.
And we have known since 2020 that keeping schools closed is child abuse – pure and simple.

It’s no secret that D.C. politicians have embarked on a major spending spree in recent years.
The federal deficit hit an all-time high in 2020, reaching $3.13 trillion as our nation’s leaders handed out money like candy. Worse, federal debt only continued to grow in the new year — the government spent $2.77 trillion more than it collected in 2021.
D.C. has continued to spend recklessly and well beyond our nation’s means, with no end in sight.

As 2021 comes to a close, We The People have a lot to celebrate. While there is a lot of work to be done in the years to come, we saw some major victories for Americans in 2021.
From parental rights to economic freedom, here are WTP’s picks for the biggest political wins of the year:

We don’t know about you, but nothing gets us in the holiday spirit like an exercise in our constitutional freedoms. Now, we aren’t talking about a war on Christmas or if Starbucks accurately depicts the holiday season on a cup. We are looking at our old friends: Satanists.
Let’s go back to 2018, where NPR sets a vivid scene:
“In the Illinois Capitol rotunda this month, several traditions are being celebrated.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”
From our nation’s inception, the United States has championed freedom of religion as a right guaranteed to all American people. As the first liberty granted in the Bill of Rights, our founding fathers knew that keeping the government out of religious affairs was essential for a free country.
Until very recently, we saw bipartisan support for maintaining this freedom.

“America is the worst!”
“I’m ashamed to be an American.”
“I’m moving to Canada!”
Unfortunately, we’ve all heard these phrases bantered about in our daily lives. In a nation where our football players take a knee and schools are teaching kids to hate America, patriotism is on the way out.
It’s trendy to be anti-American, but We The People believes it’s more important to be patriotic today than it ever has been.

Free speech is dying out in the United States, and you might be part of the problem.
The American right to free speech remains unique on the world stage. While many modern governments allow for free expression to a point, our founding fathers established an unprecedented right to speak without penalty when they penned the Bill of Rights.
Theoretically, America’s appreciation for free speech has persisted over the years. According to a 2015 study by the Pew Research Center, freedom of speech is more widely accepted and supported in the United States than in any of the 38 countries studied.

Back in September We The People sounded the alarm about the abuse of liberal ideology on our college campuses and the dying of intellectual freedom. Now, Pano Kanelos and the newly formed University of Austin are doing something about it.
As Kanelos sums up the grave situation: “It’s not just that we are failing students as individuals; we are failing the nation. Our democracy is faltering, in significant part, because our educational system has become illiberal and is producing citizens and leaders who are incapable and unwilling to participate in the core activity of democratic governance.”
The University of Austin is not only a response to the radical, illiberal, and woke mob controlling higher education— it is an attempt to put words into action.

Spoilers: It looks oddly familiar!
In case you haven’t heard, the U.S. Constitution was made for and only protects “rich, old, white men” from the 18th Century.
Or, at least that’s what a number of students at the University of Florida believe. Campus Reform asked UF students their thoughts on the Constitution, and many of them gladly signed a petition to ditch our Constitution.
One such student said: “The time period was rich old white men and that’s exactly what that document says, and stands for and vouches for.”
That’s a pretty big assertion, but We The People listened and decided to take an honest look at the Constitution to see if the document our nation was built on really does belong in the past.
