Condemning Socialism and Defending Individual Liberty, Private Property, and Free Enterprise.

Against CEA
The "Denouncing the horrors of socialism" concurrent resolution, sponsored by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), expresses the sense of Congress that socialism should be denounced in all its forms and that Congress opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States. The resolution lays out a series of findings describing the historic record of socialist and communist regimes, including famine, repression, and mass death, and it highlights how centralized economic control often collapses into authoritarian rule. It also underscores America's founding principles by citing the importance of property rights, personal liberty, and the freedom to enjoy the fruits of one's labor Support because Scripture affirms human dignity, honest work, and stewardship, and collectivist systems that concentrate power routinely trample those truths. America should uphold freedom, private property, and the vital role of families and faith communities, not expand government control that displaces conscience and personal responsibility.

Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on those who issue oppressive decrees - regulations, mandates, and compliance requirements that crush businesses and deprive workers of opportunity. Operational freedom fights the bureaucratic oppression that kills small businesses, prevents entrepreneurship, and protects established interests at the expense of new entrants. When licensing laws, zoning restrictions, and regulatory burdens make it impossible for the poor to start businesses, government becomes the oppressor Isaiah condemns.
H.J.Res. 130House 2025-20262x

Restoring American Energy and Jobs by Reversing the Biden-Era Plan that Shut Down Future Federal Coal Leasing.

Against CEA
This resolution, sponsored by Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY), uses the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a former Biden administration rule implemented at the Bureau of Land Management titled "Buffalo Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment" on November 20, 2024. The Biden-era rule made no federal coal available for future leasing in the Buffalo Field Office area, effectively ending future federal coal leasing in Wyoming's Powder River Basin. By disapproving the 2024 rule, Congress would undo those restrictions and revert management back to the 2020 Trump-era plan, thus expanding the domestic energy supply Support because faithful stewardship includes ensuring families can access affordable energy and that government does not unjustly lock up resources needed for work and provision. Restoring a balanced, lawful framework helps protect household stability and the freedom of communities, including churches and employers, to thrive.

Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on lawmakers who craft economic policies that oppress the poor through excessive taxation, regulatory barriers to entry, and cronyism that favors the connected over the capable. Economic freedom is justice for the poor - when the working class keeps more of their earnings, when small businesses can compete without crushing compliance costs, and when families can build wealth without government extraction. Unjust economic laws always hit the poor hardest.

Repealing the Biden-Era ANWR Coastal Plain Leasing Restrictions to Restore Domestic Energy Production and Lower Costs.

Against CEA
This resolution, sponsored by Rep. Nicholas Begich (R-AK), uses the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a former Biden administration rule implemented at the Bureau of Land Management titled "Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program Record of Decision" on December 9, 2024. The Biden-era rule changed how oil and gas leasing can occur in the Coastal Plain program area within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Biden-era decision replaced the 2020 record of decision under the first Trump administration that had made the full 1.6 million acre program area available for leasing. The Biden-era decision made only 400,000 acres available for leasing (the statutory minimum) placing roughly 1.2 million acres off-limits Support because affordable, reliable energy helps families flourish and enables churches and community institutions to serve without unnecessary hardship. Government should practice faithful stewardship by removing unjustified barriers that restrict lawful work and threaten household stability through higher costs.

SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Genesis 9:1-3 – "Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.'"
Leadership Insight
God's command to "be fruitful and increase" includes economic multiplication and resource stewardship. The Creator entrusted humanity with natural resources for provision and prosperity, not scarcity and control. Economic freedom flows from divine mandate - leaders who protect property rights and free enterprise honor God's design for human flourishing through responsible dominion.
H.R. 1366House 2025-20262x

Restoring Regulatory Certainty for Domestic Mining Projects to Strengthen America's Critical Minerals Supply Chain

Against CEA
The bill H.R. 1366, the Mining Regulatory Clarity Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV), would clarify that mining operators may use federal lands for activities ancillary to mining (such as waste rock and tailings disposal) through mill site claims, regardless of whether the land itself contains valuable mineral deposits. The bill responds to the Ninth Circuit's 2022 Rosemont decision, which created new uncertainty for mine plans by calling into question long-standing federal practice for approving these support sites. According to supporters, the bill is needed to prevent litigation-driven permitting chaos that blocks domestic mineral production and deepens America's reliance on foreign adversaries for critical minerals
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because families and employers need trustworthy, affordable supply chains, and America should not depend on hostile nations for minerals essential to our economy and security. Clear, limited rules that allow lawful work to proceed reflect good stewardship and responsible government.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Exodus 18:21 – "Select capable men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain."
Leadership Insight
Skill can open doors, but character keeps them open. God measures leadership by trustworthiness before talent. Righteous leaders create righteous systems.

Unlocking American Energy Abundance by Ending Federal Barriers that Slow LNG Exports and Raise Costs at Home.

Against CEA
The "Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2025," sponsored by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), reforms the federal approval process for importing and exporting natural gas under the Natural Gas Act. The bill transfers key approval authority from the Department of Energy to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, aligning export and import decisions with the same regulator that already reviews related infrastructure. According to supporters, this change is intended to streamline a delayed and politicized permitting process that has restricted U.S. liquefied natural gas exports and discouraged long-term investment Support because affordable, reliable energy is a matter of faithful stewardship that helps families thrive and keeps community institutions running without needless hardship. Reducing government barriers to responsible energy production protects livelihoods and strengthens the freedom to work, provide, and serve others.

Providing for family is not optional - it's a spiritual mandate. Leaders champion policies that enable work, strengthen families, and protect parental authority. Dependency on government undermines the biblical call to provide. Personal responsibility precedes public assistance.
H.R. 2550House 2025-20263x

Enriching Labor Unions at the Expense of Taxpayers by Overturning President Trump's Executive Order that Limited Collective Bargaining in the Federal Workforce.

Against CEA
The Protect America's Workforce Act, introduced by Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), would nullify (repeal) President Trump's executive order titled "Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs," issued on March 27, 2025. That executive order excluded specified executive agencies and subdivisions from the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute, which governs federal collective bargaining and related labor-management rules. The bill would then reauthorize all the collective bargaining agreements that were terminated by President Trump. In practice, this legislation would reassert federal union bargaining across parts of the federal workforce that were carved out for mission and management reasons, limiting agency flexibility and strengthening a government union system that often protects bureaucracy over performance
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because faithful stewardship calls for efficient, accountable government that serves the public rather than empowering special interests within the bureaucracy. Federal policies should protect taxpayers and promote integrity in public service, not reinforce systems that can reward obstruction and reduce responsibility.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Matthew 20:13-15 – "But he answered one of them, 'I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'"
Leadership Insight
Jesus validates voluntary employment agreements between workers and employers. Workforce freedom protects the right of both parties to negotiate terms without union coercion, government wage mandates, or third-party interference. The workers agreed to a denarius - and that agreement was fair. Freedom in the workforce means honoring contracts and rejecting forced collectivism.
H.R. 2659House 2025-20261x

Growing Unnecessary Government Bureaucracy through Creation of More Task Forces Under the "Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act".

Against CEA
The "Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act", introduced by Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN), would require the Department of Homeland Security, acting through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, in consultation with the FBI and other federal agencies, to establish a joint interagency task force to detect, analyze, and respond to cybersecurity threats posed by Chinese state-sponsored actors targeting U.S. critical infrastructure. The bill would require annual reports for the next five years, and recurring classified briefings, while the Congressional Budget Office estimated the measure would cost taxpayers about $5 million over the 2025-2030 period, with additional reporting costs on top of that. According to opponents, Congress should not respond to every potential threat by creating another federal task force and reporting mandate when existing agencies already have authority to coordinate, share intelligence, and address cybersecurity threats. They argued the bill risks duplicating ongoing efforts, expanding bureaucracy, and shifting attention away from actual execution and enforcement while adding more administrative costs for taxpayers Oppose because faithful stewardship requires restraint in creating new government structures when current agencies already have the responsibility and authority to act. Security is important, but building more bureaucracy can waste resources and distract from the effective protection of families and communities.

Isaiah 55:2 – "Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare."
Leadership Insight
God challenges wasteful spending and misdirected labor that produces no lasting value. Economic freedom means the liberty to invest resources in Kingdom purposes without government mandates dictating consumption. Leaders who reduce unnecessary taxation and regulation allow individuals to steward earnings toward what truly satisfies - family, faith, and generational wealth rather than bureaucratic waste.
H.R. 2965House 2025-20263x

Protecting Small Businesses from Rising Federal Compliance Costs Through the "Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act of 2025".

Against CEA
The "Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act of 2025" sponsored by Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) requires the Small Business Administration (SBA) to ensure its regulatory changes do not raise compliance costs for small businesses. This is accomplished by requiring the annual "small business regulatory budget" for SBA rulemaking to be no greater than zero. The bill defines that regulatory budget as the compliance cost to small businesses from federal rulemaking, including new rules as well as changes to existing rules. The sponsor noted the record-breaking $1.8 trillion in regulatory costs that had been imposed by the previous Biden administration
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, small businesses and family-owned employers should be free to serve their communities without excessive federal interference that chokes opportunity and stewardship. This bill helps curb regulatory overreach so employers can focus on creating jobs, providing for families, and contributing to the common good.
1 Corinthians 4:2 – "Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful."
Leadership Insight
Operational freedom begins with stewardship. God entrusts leaders with resources, influence, and people - not to control them, but to multiply them for His Kingdom. Faithfulness is Heaven’s metric for leadership success.

Advancing Energy Security by Exposing the Federal and State Policies Blocking U.S. Refining Capacity.

Against CEA
The "Researching Efficient Federal Improvements for Necessary Energy Refining Act," also known as the "REFINER Act," sponsored by Rep. Bob Latta (R-OH), requires the National Petroleum Council to publish a report on U.S. petrochemical refineries. The report must address the role refineries play in U.S. energy security, opportunities and risks related to expanding capacity, and identify federal or state executive actions that have contributed to a decline in refining capacity. It must also provide recommendations to increase refining capacity. According to supporters, this is a needed step toward identifying the government-driven barriers and policy decisions that have made it harder to expand domestic refining, leaving families and employers exposed to price spikes and supply disruptions Support because affordable, reliable energy is a matter of faithful stewardship that protects families, jobs, and community institutions from unnecessary hardship. Identifying government actions that restrict refining capacity helps advance responsible policies that allow people to work, provide, and serve without needless interference.

Expanding Investment Opportunities and Cutting SEC Red Tape through the "Increasing Investor Opportunities Act".

Against CEA
The "Increasing Investor Opportunities Act", sponsored by Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO), is a capital formation package also referred to as the Incentivizing New Ventures and Economic Strength Through Capital Formation (INVEST) Act of 2025. Among its central reforms, the bill amends the Investment Company Act of 1940 to give publicly offered closed-end funds greater authority to invest in private funds and limits the ability of federal regulators and national securities exchanges to restrict the listing and trading of these funds based on those investments. The bill also includes multiple capital markets reforms intended to modernize SEC rules, streamline disclosures, and remove barriers that make it harder for entrepreneurs and small businesses to raise money. According to House Financial Services Committee leaders, the package is designed to cut red tape, empower small businesses, and expand opportunities for Americans to invest more freely Support as this bill advances economic freedom by removing federal barriers that restrict lawful investment and entrepreneurship, helping families and communities build wealth through productive enterprise. A freer market better reflects biblical principles of stewardship and opportunity than heavy-handed federal micromanagement of capital formation.

Preventing New SEC Disclosure Mandates on Dual Class Share Companies.

Against CEA
The Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) amendment #123 to the "Incentivizing New Ventures and Economic Strength Through Capital Formation (INVEST) Act of 2025" would strike Section 307. This section would require issuers to disclose the share of ownership and voting power held by directors, director nominees, named executive officers, and 5 percent voting power holders. According to supporters of the amendment, these governance structures are already widely discussed by investors and market analysts, and the amendment is intended to help prevent another federal paperwork regime that increases legal costs, invites enforcement risk, and makes it harder for growing companies to access public markets Support because the amendment restrains federal coercion and leaves corporate governance disclosures to transparent market forces and honest dealings rather than government compulsion. A faith-based view of stewardship favors accountability and truthfulness without expanding Washington’s regulatory power over lawful enterprise.

H.R. 3383 (Waters Amdt. 125)House 2025-20261x

Worsening Regulatory Overreach in the Financial Sector by Expanding Mandates on Investment Advisers and Hedge Funds.

Against CEA
The Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) amendment #125 to the "Increasing Investor Opportunities Act" would require investment advisers and hedge funds to conduct know-your-customer verification and implement anti-money laundering procedures for foreign clients. While framed as a transparency and enforcement measure, it would extend a very burdensome new compliance regime into parts of the private investment market that are not currently regulated in this manner. Essentially, much more routine investing activity would now be pushed into a federal monitoring and paperwork structure that is especially costly for smaller firms Oppose because this amendment treats lawful investors and businesses as presumptively suspect and burdens them with sweeping federal compliance rules that undermine economic freedom and privacy. A biblical view of justice supports targeting actual wrongdoing rather than imposing broad government monitoring that chills honest enterprise.

OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 29:2 – "When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan."
Leadership Insight
Righteous economic leadership creates prosperity that lifts all people; wicked rulers impose taxation, regulation, and cronyism that make the people groan. Economic freedom flourishes under leaders who fear God and protect property rights. When government becomes extractive rather than protective, citizens suffer under the weight of policies designed to benefit the powerful rather than serve the productive.
H.R. 3383 (Waters Amdt. 127)House 2025-20262x

Imposing New Price Controls and Government Enforcement Powers over Investment Fees in the Financial Sector.

Against CEA
The Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) amendment #127 to the "Incentivizing New Ventures and Economic Strength Through Capital Formation (INVEST) Act of 2025" would define and prohibit fees charged by SEC-registered individuals and entities that are not "clearly disclosed" or "proportional" to the services provided. In effect, the measure would grow federal government power into price setting and policing subjective standards for what private-sector financial services may charge, beyond existing disclosure rules Oppose because this amendment shifts decisions about fair pricing from voluntary, transparent agreements into federal mandates, undermining economic freedom and personal responsibility. Faith-based stewardship is best served by honest disclosure and accountability, not Washington-defined “proportionality” enforced by regulators.

Creating a New Federal Criminal Offenses for Providing Gender Transitions to Minors Through the "Protect Children's Innocence Act".

Against CEA
The "Protect Children's Innocence Act" sponsored by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) would amend section 116 of federal law, with respect to genital and bodily mutilation and chemical castration of minors. The bill makes it a federal criminal offense for knowingly performing or attempting to perform a procedure or providing medications to change a minor's body to correspond to a sex that differs from the minor's biological sex. The bill provides certain exceptions for specific medical circumstances.
Christian Employers Alliance support this bill because children bear God-given dignity and deserve protection from irreversible decisions they cannot fully understand or consent to. A clear, accountable rule of law that restrains harmful practices helps families and communities uphold mercy, truth, and responsible stewardship.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 – "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you… You are not your own; you were bought at a price."
Leadership Insight
Healthcare freedom begins with ownership - recognizing that our bodies belong to God, not government or culture. When we understand divine ownership, we resist ungodly control. Stewardship is sacred, not optional.
H.R. 3616House 2025-20262x

Strengthening Grid Reliability and Reining in Federal Regulatory Overreach through the "Reliable Power Act".

Against CEA
The "Reliable Power Act" sponsored by Rep. Troy Balderson (R-OH) directs the North American Electric Reliability Corporation to conduct annual long-term assessments of reliability in the bulk-power system and establishes a process for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to review certain federal regulations before they are finalized when reliability risks are identified. According to supporters, the measure is largely in response to rules imposed by the Biden Administration that blocked fossil fuel development, which reduced baseload generation and destabilized the electric grid – leading to blackouts and higher power costs
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because reliable and affordable energy is essential for families, churches, and faith-based employers to serve their communities, and government should not impose regulations that undermine that stability. This bill helps restrain bureaucratic overreach and promotes wise stewardship by prioritizing accountability and prudence in federal rulemaking.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 13:11 – "Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow."

Protecting Ratepayers and Preventing Blackouts by Requiring State Utility Plans to Prioritize Reliable Power Generation.

Against CEA
H.R. 3628, the "State Planning for Reliability and Affordability Act," sponsored by Rep. Gabe Evans (R-CO), would amend the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) to add a federal standard for how states consider reliability in utility planning. The bill is largely designed to combat the practices of utilities and state regulators prioritizing renewable energy over safety and reliability. Specifically, the bill requires state-regulated electric utilities that use integrated resource planning to ensure adequate reliable availability of electric energy over a 10-year period by maintaining or procuring electricity from "reliable generation facilities." The bill defines reliable generation facilities as those capable of continuous generation for at least 30 days with adequate on-site fuel or contractual fuel supply, able to operate during emergency and severe weather conditions, and able to provide essential grid services such as frequency and voltage support Support because reliable, affordable electricity is essential for faith-based employers, churches, and ministries to serve their communities and care for workers and families. Energy policies that increase costs and instability undermine stewardship and place unnecessary burdens on households and employers.

Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.'"
Leadership Insight
God's command to "be fruitful and increase" includes economic multiplication and resource stewardship. The Creator entrusted humanity with natural resources for provision and prosperity, not scarcity and control. Economic freedom flows from divine mandate - leaders who protect property rights and free enterprise honor God's design for human flourishing through responsible dominion.

Strengthening Electric Grid Resiliency and Driving Greater Transparency Through the "Electric Supply Chain Act".

Against CEA
The "Electric Supply Chain Act," sponsored by Rep. Robert Latta (R-OH), directs the Department of Energy to conduct recurring assessments and submit reports to Congress on the supply chain for electric generation and transmission. Most notably, the bill requires DOE to evaluate trends, risks, and vulnerabilities affecting the availability of key grid components and materials. The measure is intended to help policymakers and the public understand whether the hardware, materials, and manufacturing capacity needed to keep the lights on are actually available before utilities and regulators push large scale changes to the generation mix. This is especially important as utilities and environmental activists accelerate renewable buildouts and electrification mandates that can stress the grid if dependable backup power, transmission upgrades, and critical components are not ready Support, because reliable and affordable electricity is foundational to family stability, church ministry, and the ability of employers to serve their communities without disruption. Honest oversight that prevents avoidable blackouts and punishing rate hikes reflects faithful stewardship by prioritizing public safety and responsible governance over ideological energy agendas.

Streamlining Pipeline Permitting by Ending Interagency Gridlock and Preventing States from Vetoing Interstate Energy Projects

Against CEA
The Improving Interagency Coordination for Pipeline Reviews Act, introduced by Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC), would speed up federal permitting for interstate natural gas pipelines and certain LNG projects by making the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) the sole lead agency for coordinating National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews and related federal authorizations. The bill would require participating federal and state agencies to follow FERC's schedule and conduct reviews concurrently, and it directs agencies to consider appropriate environmental data gathered by aerial or other remote means. It would also set limits on how long the process can drag on after the NEPA review is complete and would shift certain Clean Water Act review responsibilities into a coordinated framework rather than allowing separate, open-ended processes to stall projects. According to supporters, these reforms are needed to cut red tape, stop permit gamesmanship, and move critical energy infrastructure forward so families and employers are not hit with higher costs and avoidable reliability risks
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because reliable, affordable energy is essential for families and employers to work, provide, and serve their communities. Government should be transparent and limited, not a maze of overlapping agencies and veto points that can delay necessary infrastructure indefinitely.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 21:5 – "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty."
Leadership Insight
Vision without discipline is fantasy. God honors leaders who plan with wisdom and execute with patience. Haste builds pressure; diligence builds legacy.

Restoring Limits on Federal Water Regulation and Speeding Permits for Critical Infrastructure through the "PERMIT Act".

Against CEA
The "Promoting Efficient Review for Modern Infrastructure Today (PERMIT) Act" sponsored by Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) makes multiple reforms to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (Clean Water Act). Most notably, the bill narrows the definition of "navigable waters" to exclude certain features such as groundwater, prior converted cropland, and ephemeral features that flow only in direct response to precipitation. The bill also reforms water quality criteria development by requiring new or revised criteria to be issued through rulemaking and makes changes to state permitting processes and related judicial review timelines to provide more certainty for regulated entities. In combination, these reforms are intended to reduce regulatory ambiguity and delays that can hold up permits for construction, energy, agriculture, and other infrastructure projects
Christian Employers Alliance supports H.R. 3898 because limiting bureaucratic overreach helps employers create jobs and serve their communities without being trapped in shifting federal mandates. Clear rules and fair, timely permitting respect responsible stewardship while protecting the freedom to work, build, and provide.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Luke 16:10-11 – "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?"
Leadership Insight
Jesus connects economic stewardship to spiritual trustworthiness. Economic freedom is built on this principle: individuals who manage small resources faithfully should be trusted with more - not have government confiscate their increase through taxation or redistribute their success. When government punishes productive stewardship through progressive taxation, it contradicts Christ's teaching that faithful management of "very little" qualifies you for "much." Economic freedom rewards faithful stewardship.

Growing Bureaucracy and Wasteful Spending by Imposing New Mandates on FEMA Concerning its Granting Process.

Against CEA
The "Enhancing Stakeholder Support and Outreach for Preparedness Grants Act," sponsored by Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY), amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to impose additional mandates on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) granting process. Under the bill, FEMA must provide ongoing stakeholder outreach, engagement, education, technical assistance, and support related to preparedness grants. The bill's mandates are estimated to require the hiring of seven new federal employees and cost taxpayers an additional $9 million Oppose because government should practice faithful stewardship by limiting bureaucracy and empowering local communities, churches, and families to prepare and respond without unnecessary federal direction. Expanding federal grant machinery risks displacing community responsibility and misusing taxpayer resources that should be guarded carefully.

Cutting Red Tape for Small Businesses by Codifying the SBA "Red Tape Hotline" and Forcing Transparency on the Worst Federal Rules.

Against CEA
The "Destroying Unnecessary, Misaligned, and Prohibitive (DUMP) Red Tape Act," sponsored by Rep. Tony Wied (R-WI), requires the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy to continue operating and maintaining a "Red Tape Hotline" for small entities. The hotline is designed to receive notifications from small businesses and other small entities about burdens associated with federal agency rules, guidance, policy statements, or other agency actions. The bill also requires the Office of Advocacy to submit an annual report to the SBA and Congress summarizing the notifications received through the hotline. According to supporters, this measure creates a direct, practical channel for small employers to flag costly and unnecessary regulatory burdens that often get ignored in Washington's one-size-fits-all rulemaking process Support because faithful stewardship includes protecting families and community employers from needless government burdens that choke opportunity and honest work. Giving small businesses a clear way to report harmful regulations promotes accountability and helps preserve the freedom to serve, hire, and provide for others.

Streamlining NEPA Permitting to Stop Bureaucratic Delays that Block Energy, Mining, and Infrastructure Projects

Against CEA
The SPEED Act, introduced by Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR), would amend the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to make federal environmental reviews more efficient and predictable. The legislation clarifies key definitions and standards, limits agencies' ability to expand reviews beyond what is relevant, and aims to reduce litigation-driven delays that can keep projects stuck for years. According to supporters, tightening timelines and narrowing open-ended procedural hurdles, the bill seeks to prevent NEPA from being used as a tool to centrally plan the economy by stopping lawful development through paperwork
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because endless federal delay harms working families and employers trying to build, provide, and steward resources responsibly. Government should be transparent and accountable, not able to block productive work through vague processes that expand power without limit.

Combatting Frivolous Litigation in the Federal Permitting Process by Clarifying the Term "Direct Harm".

Against CEA
The Andrew Clyde (R-GA) amendment #138 to the "SPEED Act" would clarify that "direct harm" does not include emotional, aesthetic, or recreational interests unless accompanied by a material physical or property harm. By narrowing what qualifies as "direct harm," this measure helps curb frivolous litigation deployed by activist groups that can delay lawful projects through years of process and paperwork, especially when the claimed injury is not tied to real-world physical impacts or property damage
Christian Employers Alliance supports this amendment as government should punish real harm and protect neighborly order, not empower endless lawsuits built on feelings alone, so families and communities can work, build, and provide without needless obstruction.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Luke 12:58 – "As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison."

Limiting NEPA Reviews so Federal Agencies Cannot Stall Permits by Analyzing Impacts They Have No Authority to Regulate

Against CEA
The Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) amendment #139 to the SPEED Act would revise the bill's scope-of-review clause to clarify that National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review applies only to environmental impacts that the lead agency or cooperating federal agencies have the legal authority to regulate. In practice, this change would narrow the universe of issues that can be forced into federal environmental reviews, keeping agencies focused on their actual statutory responsibilities. Without clear limits, NEPA can be used to justify endless studies, invite litigation, and delay energy and infrastructure projects even when the alleged "impacts" fall outside an agency's legal lane. According to supporters, this amendment helps stop bureaucratic mission creep and keeps permitting from becoming a backdoor weapon to block projects through paperwork and lawsuits
Christian Employers Alliance supports this amendment because good stewardship requires honest, accountable government that stays within its lawful authority instead of expanding power through vague processes. Reducing needless delays helps communities build, work, and provide for families without being trapped under endless federal red tape.

Narrowing NEPA's "Significant Impact" Standard to Stop Endless Environmental Impact Statements and Speed Permitting

Against CEA
The Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) amendment #140 to the SPEED Act would further define what counts as a "significant effect on the quality of the human environment" for purposes of triggering an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The amendment would define a "significant effect" as a proximate and concrete harm directly caused by the proposed agency action that materially impairs human health or property. It would also revise NEPA's EIS trigger so an EIS is required only when there is at least one such "significant effect," rather than the broader and more easily manipulated "significantly affecting" standard. According to supporters, tightening these definitions would reduce litigation gamesmanship and prevent agencies from dragging projects into years of paperwork over speculative or tangential claims
Christian Employers Alliance supports this amendment because government should be clear, honest, and limited in its use of power, not able to stall productive work through vague standards and endless delay. A predictable, accountable permitting process helps families and employers build, provide, and steward resources responsibly.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
James 1:5 – "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault."

Ensuring Taxpayers Aren't Forced to Cover Gender Transition Procedures for Minors through the Medicaid Welfare System.

Against CEA
The "Do No Harm in Medicaid Act" sponsored by Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) would amend Title XIX of the Social Security Act to prohibit federal Medicaid payments for specified gender transition procedures for individuals under the age of 18. The bill's prohibition covers surgeries and related procedures intended to alter a minor's body to no longer correspond to biological sex, as well as the administering or prescribing of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for that purpose
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because government should practice humble restraint and faithful stewardship, using taxpayer resources to meet essential needs rather than underwriting irreversible interventions for minors. This vote helps protect families and the dignity of work by promoting accountable lawmaking and guarding communities from costly policies imposed through federal spending power.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Deuteronomy 22:5 – "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this."

Restoring Law and Order in Washington, D.C. through Repeal of Lawless "Criminal Justice Reforms" that Limit Usage of Force.

Against CEA
The "Common-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in DC Act of 2025," also known as the "CLEAN DC Act," sponsored by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), repeals the District of Columbia's "Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022." These anti-police policies significantly restricted the ability of police to fight crime by limiting their usage of force and subjecting them to high levels of liability. Due to the criminal justice reforms implemented by DC's government, violent crime in the District rose 39% from 2023 to 2024 Support because protecting communities from violence and disorder is a basic responsibility of civil government, and leaders should not adopt policies that endanger families and neighborhoods. Restoring public safety helps safeguard the freedom of churches, employers, and residents to live and serve without fear.

Correcting the Failed Criminal Justice Reforms in Washington, D.C. by Requiring Detention for Violent Offenders and Cash Bail.

Against CEA
The "District of Columbia Cash Bail Reform Act of 2025," sponsored by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), amends the District of Columbia Official Code to require mandatory pretrial detention for individuals charged with a crime of violence or a dangerous crime. Additionally, the bill requires cash bail as a condition of release for individuals charged with specified "public safety or order" crimes, such as obstruction of justice, fleeing from law enforcement, rioting, destruction of property, stalking, and certain burglary and robbery offenses. Due to the criminal justice reforms implemented by DC's government, violent crime in the District rose 39% from 2023 to 2024 Support because civil government is called to punish wrongdoing and protect the innocent, and public safety policies should not enable violence and disorder that harm families and communities.

Expanding Affordable Health Coverage Options Beyond Obamacare by Empowering Workers and Small Businesses with More Choice

Against CEA
The Lower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act, introduced by Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), would make several changes intended to lower health insurance costs and expand coverage options. The bill would expand access to Association Health Plans, codify and strengthen employer-defined contribution arrangements for workers to buy coverage (called CHOICE arrangements), and clarify that stop-loss insurance is not health insurance coverage so more small and mid-sized employers can self-insure. It also includes new transparency requirements for pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and appropriates cost-sharing reduction payments beginning in 2027 to help stabilize the individual market. According to supporters, these reforms move away from one-size-fits-all Obamacare mandates by expanding private coverage options, reducing hidden costs in the drug supply chain, and lowering premiums for families and employers who have been priced out of affordable plans
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because families and employers need affordable health coverage options that honor work, responsibility, and the freedom to choose what best fits their needs. Expanding choice and transparency helps communities better care for one another without forcing everyone into a government-driven system.

Restoring State Authority Over Gray Wolf Management Through the "Pet and Livestock Protection Act".

Against CEA
The "Pet and Livestock Protection Act of 2025" sponsored by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) would require the Secretary of the Interior to reissue regulations removing the gray wolf from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Specifically, the bill directs Interior to reissue the final rule published on November 3, 2020 titled "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Removing the Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) From the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife". While originally enacted in 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California vacated the rule on February 10, 2022. As a result, the gray wolf reattained the protection status it had prior to the rule's promulgation. This bill will ensure that the wolf is finally removed from the list by preventing any additional judicial review
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because a just and limited government should respect local stewardship and protect the ability of families and communities to live and work without unnecessary federal control. Policy decisions that can be made responsibly at the state level should not be dominated by unaccountable bureaucracy and endless litigation.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
1 Corinthians 14:40 – "But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way."

Advancing a Bill to Overturn President Trump's Executive Order that Protects Taxpayers from Union Bosses and Collective Bargaining.

Against CEA
This resolution, sponsored by Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), provides for consideration of H.R. 2550 to nullify President Trump's Executive Order titled "Exclusions from Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs". President Trump's order ended collective bargaining at approximately 30 federal agencies that involve the issues of national defense, border security, foreign relations, energy security, pandemic preparedness, cybersecurity, economic defense, and public safety. This bill restores the collective bargaining agreements that were in place as of March 26, 2025
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because it accelerates a policy that entrenches special-interest power in government and undermines faithful stewardship of taxpayer resources. A just society requires public institutions that are accountable and disciplined, not shielded by arrangements that reward bureaucracy over service to the common good.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 12:24 – "Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor."

Fueling Out-of-Control Spending through a $900+ Billion NDAA Funding Ukraine, Gender Transitions and Billions Above the Amount Requested by President Trump.

With CEA
The "National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026," sponsored by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), authorizes approximately $901 billion in defense spending, which, when combined with supplemental bills, pushes total military spending over $1 trillion for the first time in U.S. history. The bill spends more than $8 billion more than requested by President Trump and authorizes and additional $400 million for Ukraine. The bill does not include a key provision promised to conservatives that bans central bank digital currencies, and includes a key provision sought by progressives that allows the use of taxpayer funds to provide gender transitions. It is noteworthy that the Pentagon has now failed its eight consecutive audit. Note: Democrats who opposed the bill for other reasons were recorded as "X" Oppose because government should practice faithful stewardship, and a $900+ billion authorization that grows spending while tolerating misuse of taxpayer dollars fails that standard. Defense policy should prioritize protecting life and liberty, not expanding open-ended federal commitments and funding priorities that conflict with biblical truth and conscience protections.

Repealing the Biden-Era National Petroleum Reserve Rule to Restore Energy Development and Protect America's Energy Security.

Against CEA
This resolution, sponsored by Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), uses the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a former Biden administration rule implemented at the Bureau of Land Management titled "National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska Integrated Activity Plan Record of Decision," on April 25, 2022. The Biden-era plan replaced the prior Integrated Activity Plan adopted under the first Trump Administration and closed roughly 48% of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska to oil and gas leasing. By disapproving the 2022 rule, Congress would undo those restrictions and revert management back to the 2020 Trump-era plan, thus expanding the domestic energy supply Support because faithful stewardship includes ensuring families can access affordable energy and that government does not needlessly restrict resources God has provided for human flourishing. Reverting to a more balanced, proven framework helps protect jobs, household stability, and the freedom of communities to thrive.

Overturning a Biden Bureau of Land Management Plan that Prevents Coal Leasing on 1.7 Million Acres of Federal Land

Neutral
This resolution introduced by Rep. Troy Downing (R-MT) utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a Biden administration rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) relating to the "Miles City Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment." Resource management plans guide how BLM-administered lands are managed, including whether and where coal leasing may be considered. The Miles City plan amendment made 1.7 million acres unavailable for future coal leasing. According to supporters, this kind of federal land "lock up" undermines local economies and energy affordability by putting Washington planners ahead of workers, communities, and responsible development
Christian Employers Alliance supports this measure because families and employers are called to steward resources wisely, and policies that unnecessarily lock up domestic energy can harm livelihoods and raise costs for those trying to provide for their households. Congress should uphold accountable government that respects productive work, local communities, and the freedom to flourish.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 27:23-24 – "Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations."

Overturning a Biden Bureau of Land Management Rule that Restricts Oil, Gas, and Coal Development on Federal Lands in North Dakota.

Neutral
This resolution introduced by Rep. Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a Biden administration rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) relating to the "North Dakota Field Office Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan." Resource management plans guide how BLM-administered lands are managed, including where energy development is allowed or restricted. Biden's North Dakota plan modified the prior 1988 plan by limiting oil and gas development in certain areas and restricting new coal leasing to areas within four miles of existing mines. According to supporters, the rule represents a federal land-use "lock up" that would limit access to domestic resources, threaten jobs and state revenues, and increase energy costs for families and businesses
Christian Employers Alliance supports this measure because families, workers, and employers depend on affordable, reliable energy, and federal overreach that restricts lawful production harms communities and stewardship through prosperity. Congress should protect freedom, accountability, and the ability of local communities to thrive without constant federal interference.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Luke 22:25 – "Jesus said to them, 'The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over them call themselves Benefactors."

Overturning a Biden Bureau of Land Management Plan that Blocks Mineral Extraction on Millions of Acres in Alaska's Central Yukon Region.

Neutral
This resolution introduced by Rep. Nicholas Begich (R-AK) utilizes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to nullify a Biden administration rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) relating to the "Central Yukon Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan." Resource management plans guide how BLM-administered lands are managed, including where uses such as responsible development, access, and conservation rules will apply. The Central Yukon plan was issued on November 12, 2024, and, among other changes, designates 21 areas as "critical environmental concern" and locks up roughly 3.6 million acres. According to supporters, these designations and related restrictions amount to a federal land "lock up" that can limit multiple-use access, hinder economic opportunity, and place Washington bureaucrats in charge of decisions that should be made closer to the people most affected
Christian Employers Alliance supports this measure because families, workers, and employers depend on predictable access to affordable resources, and sweeping federal land mandates can undermine thriving communities. Congress should uphold accountable government that respects local stewardship, productive work, and the freedom to provide for one’s household.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on lawmakers who craft economic policies that oppress the poor through excessive taxation, regulatory barriers to entry, and cronyism that favors the connected over the capable. Economic freedom is justice for the poor - when the working class keeps more of their earnings, when small businesses can compete without crushing compliance costs, and when families can build wealth without government extraction. Unjust economic laws always hit the poor hardest.

Repealing a Biden Rule at the Department of Energy that Effectively Bans Popular Natural Gas Tankless Water Heaters

Neutral
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Gas-fired Instantaneous Water Heaters" and published on December 26, 2024. The underlying rule set new federal efficiency standards for gas-fired instantaneous (tankless) water heaters, including widely used non-condensing models. According to supporters, the rule was designed in a way that effectively pushes non-condensing units out of the market and forces homeowners and small businesses into more expensive options and complicated retrofits. They argue this is part of a broader regulatory playbook where Washington uses appliance rules to squeeze out natural gas products, shrinking consumer choice while raising costs for everyday replacements and home repairs
Christian Employers Alliance supports protecting families and employers from rules that pressure them into higher-cost appliances and reduced energy choices. Government should be limited and accountable, not used to force ideological energy preferences that burden households and small businesses.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Ecclesiastes 5:19 – "When God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them... this is a gift of God."

The underlying rule establishes new federal energy conservation standards for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers commonly used by grocery stores, restaurants, warehouses, and other commercial facilities. According to supporters, the repeal of the Biden rule would stop Washington from using one-size-fits-all efficiency mandates to dictate the design and purchase of essential refrigeration equipment. They argue these mandates drive up compliance and replacement costs, squeeze small businesses, and ultimately raise prices for consumers as businesses are forced to absorb yet another layer of federal micromanagement
Christian Employers Alliance supports stopping federal mandates that raise operating costs for employers who serve their communities and steward resources responsibly. A limited, accountable government better protects families and faith-based employers than burdensome regulations imposed by distant bureaucracies.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Genesis 9:1-3 – "Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.

This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal an Internal Revenue Service rule titled "Gross Proceeds Reporting by Brokers That Regularly Provide Services Effectuating Digital Asset Sales" and published on December 30, 2024. The underlying rule expands who the IRS treats as a "broker" for digital asset sales and would require covered entities to report gross proceeds and send new tax statements tied to crypto transactions. According to supporters, repealing the Biden rule would stop Washington from rewriting the definition of "broker" to sweep in parts of the digital asset economy that do not operate like traditional brokerages, including technology platforms that cannot realistically collect the personal data the rule demands. They argue the Biden rule is less about honest tax administration and more about building a new reporting regime that turns financial innovation into a compliance trap, pushing lawful activity overseas while increasing the federal government's ability to monitor Americans' economic lives
Christian Employers Alliance supports limiting federal overreach that treats lawful commerce as a reason to expand surveillance and coercive reporting. A restrained government better protects families and employers seeking to steward resources faithfully without unnecessary intrusion.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Luke 12:58 – "As you are going with your adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on the way, or your adversary may drag you off to the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison."
Leadership Insight
Jesus warns against rushing to court - wisdom that protects operational freedom from predatory litigation.

Repealing Biden's EPA Methane Fee Rule That Grows Federal Penalties and Drives Up Domestic Energy Costs

Neutral
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "Waste Emissions Charge for Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems: Procedures for Facilitating Compliance, Including Netting and Exemptions" and published on November 18, 2024. The underlying rule sets the compliance framework for the federal "waste emissions charge," including how covered facilities calculate emissions, use "netting," and qualify for exemptions, with EPA positioned to assess penalties when standards are not met. According to supporters, this rule is the enforcement engine for a Washington created methane tax that punishes American oil and gas production, increases compliance burdens across the supply chain, and ultimately raises energy prices for families and job creators. They argue it hands regulators another tool to pressure domestic producers while making the U.S. less competitive and more dependent on foreign energy
Christian Employers Alliance supports repealing punitive regulatory schemes that drive up energy costs and make it harder for employers to provide for their workers and communities. Government should pursue stewardship with accountability and restraint, not by expanding coercive penalties that burden families and undermine economic stability.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 29:2 – "When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan."
Leadership Insight
Righteous economic leadership creates prosperity that lifts all people; wicked rulers impose taxation, regulation, and cronyism that make the people groan. Economic freedom flourishes under leaders who fear God and protect property rights. When government becomes extractive rather than protective, citizens suffer under the weight of policies designed to benefit the powerful rather than serve the productive.

This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program for Appliance Standards: Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment" and published on October 9, 2024. The underlying rule imposed new federal paperwork, labeling, and reporting requirements and expanded enforcement provisions across a wide range of everyday appliances and equipment. It covered roughly 20 product categories, reaching into items like dishwashers, clothes washers, air conditioners and heat pumps, battery chargers, light bulbs, and other common products used by families and employers. According to supporters, by nullifying the rule, the resolution would stop Washington from turning routine appliances into a compliance headache where manufacturers face more audits, more forms, and more threats of enforcement, and then pass those costs along to everyone at the checkout counter
Christian Employers Alliance supports repealing rules that bury honest work under expanding bureaucracy and higher costs that hurt families and local employers. Government should be limited and accountable, not a driver of red tape that undermines faithful stewardship and economic freedom.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Leviticus 25:10 – "Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan."
Leadership Insight
The Year of Jubilee proclaimed economic liberty - restoration of property, cancellation of debts, and freedom from bondage. Economic freedom follows this biblical pattern: protecting property rights, enabling debt relief through bankruptcy rather than permanent servitude, and ensuring families can rebuild wealth across generations. Government policies that permanently trap families in poverty, extract generational wealth through death taxes, or prevent property ownership contradict Jubilee's vision of economic restoration.

Repealing a Biden EPA Rule that Imposed Costly New Emissions Mandates on U.S. Tire Manufactures.

Neutral
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency rule titled "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Rubber Tire Manufacturing" and published on November 29, 2024. The underlying rule imposed new federal emissions standards on parts of the rubber tire manufacturing process and expanded EPA's regulatory reach over domestic tire plants. According to supporters, repealing the Biden rule would stop Washington from piling more red tape and expensive compliance demands onto an industry that supports thousands of American jobs and produces an essential product used by nearly every household and business. They argue the mandate would raise production costs, squeeze smaller facilities the hardest, and push more manufacturing out of the United States
Christian Employers Alliance supports rolling back burdensome regulations that raise costs and threaten the ability of employers to provide stable work for families. Limited, accountable government better reflects faithful stewardship than rulemaking that expands bureaucracy and punishes productive industry.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on lawmakers who craft economic policies that oppress the poor through excessive taxation, regulatory barriers to entry, and cronyism that favors the connected over the capable. Economic freedom is justice for the poor - when the working class keeps more of their earnings, when small businesses can compete without crushing compliance costs, and when families can build wealth without government extraction. Unjust economic laws always hit the poor hardest.

Blocking Biden's Costly Commercial Refrigeration Energy Standards Mandate by Overturning a Department of Energy Rule

Neutral
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Craig Goldman (R-TX), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Department of Energy rule titled "Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers, and Refrigerator-Freezers" and published on January 21, 2025. The underlying rule establishes new federal energy conservation standards for common commercial refrigeration equipment used by grocery stores, restaurants, convenience stores, and other businesses. According to supporters, the repeal of the Biden rule would stop Washington from using one-size-fits-all efficiency mandates to dictate what equipment businesses can buy and how much it must cost to comply. These types of federal standards often function as a hidden tax on everyday commerce by forcing expensive redesigns, accelerating replacement cycles, and raising operating and purchase costs that ultimately get passed on to consumers
Christian Employers Alliance supports stopping federal mandates that raise costs for local businesses and families through regulatory micromanagement. A limited, accountable government better supports faithful stewardship and economic freedom than burdensome rules imposed by distant bureaucracies.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Genesis 1:28 – "God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.'"
Leadership Insight
The dominion mandate establishes human authority as divinely ordained, not culturally negotiated. Leaders who honor this calling protect family, life, and liberty as sacred responsibilities. Subduing the earth means cultivating, not exploiting - stewarding with purpose.

Blocking a De Facto National Zero Emission Truck Mandate by Overturning the Biden EPA's California Advanced Clean Trucks Waiver.

Neutral
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. John James (R-MI), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency notice titled "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine Pollution Control Standards; Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Engine Emission Warranty and Maintenance Provisions; Advanced Clean Trucks; Zero Emission Airport Shuttle; Zero-Emission Power Train Certification; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision" and published on April 6, 2023. The underlying action granted California a waiver to enforce regulations that drive heavy-duty vehicles and equipment toward government-directed "zero-emission" requirements and impose stricter warranty and maintenance mandates on diesel engines. By allowing one state to set the pace for manufacturers and other states, this waiver functions as a backdoor way to reshape the national truck market without Congress voting on the costs. Supporters argue the waiver raises prices for truckers and small businesses, threatens supply chain reliability, and hands regulators sweeping leverage to force an energy transition that working Americans did not choose
Christian Employers Alliance supports this resolution because coercive mandates that raise costs and restrict livelihoods undermine responsible stewardship and the ability of families and employers to provide. Restraining bureaucratic power protects freedom and helps communities flourish without government forcing ideological climate agendas through backdoor regulation.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 16:12 – "It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for the throne is established by righteousness."
Leadership Insight
Righteous governance sustains authority; evil erodes it. Leaders who embrace corruption forfeit moral legitimacy. God establishes thrones through justice, not power. Character determines whether influence endures or collapses.

Blocking California's Backdoor National EV Mandate by Overturning the Biden EPA's Advanced Clean Cars II Waiver

Neutral
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. John Joyce (R-PA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency action granting California a waiver of federal preemption for its "Advanced Clean Cars II" program, published on December 18, 2024. By nullifying the waiver, the resolution would prevent California from enforcing emissions standards that effectively function as an electric vehicle sales mandate and that pressure automakers and other states to conform to California's regulatory model. The waiver approach turns a single state's preferences into a de facto national policy without a direct vote of Congress, raising costs for families, limiting consumer choice, and empowering regulators to reshape the auto market through executive action rather than legislation
Christian Employers Alliance supports this resolution because families and employers should not be coerced by politicized mandates that restrict choice and raise costs without accountability. Restraining bureaucratic power helps protect freedom and stewardship so communities can flourish without government forcing one ideology onto the whole nation.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 16:12 – "It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for the throne is established by righteousness."
Leadership Insight
Righteous governance sustains authority; evil erodes it. Leaders who embrace corruption forfeit moral legitimacy. God establishes thrones through justice, not power. Character determines whether influence endures or collapses.

Blocking California's Draconian Heavy-Duty Diesel Emissions Mandate by Overturning a Biden EPA Action

Neutral
This joint resolution, introduced by Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-CA), would utilize the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to repeal a Biden Environmental Protection Agency action titled "California State Motor Vehicle and Engine and Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; The 'Omnibus' Low NOX Regulation; Waiver of Preemption; Notice of Decision" and published on January 6, 2025. The underlying action granted California permission to enforce its Omnibus Low-NOx emissions program for heavy-duty engines and certain diesel equipment despite federal preemption under the Clean Air Act. By nullifying the waiver, the resolution would stop California from using federal approval to impose regulations that effectively drive a nationwide push toward stricter diesel requirements as manufacturers and other states are pressured to conform. According to supporters, the waiver is another example of Washington allowing one state to dictate energy and transportation policy for the entire country, raising vehicle and compliance costs, disrupting supply chains, and handing regulators more leverage to squeeze working families, truckers, farmers, and small businesses
Christian Employers Alliance supports this resolution because government should not use regulatory maneuvers to raise costs and restrict the freedom of families and employers to work and provide. Restraining coercive mandates protects stewardship and the ability of faith-driven businesses to serve their communities without being punished by politicized rules.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."

Extending Tax Relief for Working Families and Businesses through the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act".

Neutral
This vote on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, introduced by Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX), is on the reconciliation package whereby the House concurred with the Senate amendments. The bill contained positive provisions that extended the lower personal and corporate tax rates, as well as key estate and business tax provisions originally enacted within the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that were set to expire. Additionally, the bill increased the child tax credit and created "Trump Accounts" seeded with a $1,000 federal contribution. Keeping taxes low respects the dignity of work and strengthens families by allowing parents and communities to provide for one another without excessive government interference.
Keeping taxes low respects the dignity of work and strengthens families by allowing parents and communities to provide for one another without excessive government interference. At the same time, policymakers should avoid turning the tax code into a tool for favoritism and government-seeded accounts that grow dependence and distort personal responsibility.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
1 Samuel 8:10-18 – "Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, 'This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots... He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants... and you yourselves will become his slaves'"
Leadership Insight
Centralized power always demands sacrifice from the people. God warned Israel that human kings would grow government at the expense of liberty. Limited government protects freedom; expansive government enslaves. Leaders must resist the temptation to control what they should serve.

Preventing Blackouts and Protecting Ratepayers from Costly Grid Failures through the "Guaranteeing Reliability through the Interconnection of Dispatchable Power Act".

Neutral
The "Guaranteeing Reliability through the Interconnection of Dispatchable Power Act," also known as the "GRID Power Act," sponsored by Rep. Troy Balderson (R-OH), is designed to more quickly bring baseload power plant projects online. The bill helps expedite certain power projects by requiring the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to issue a rule revising the prioritization and approval process for interconnection requests for dispatchable power projects. The nation's interconnection queue has become inundated with proposed projects seeking to capitalize on the Biden Administration's taxpayer-funded "green" energy credits. Such projects account for 97% of all projects in the queue and now result in a median weight time of 5 years for projects. This bill will help send projects such as natural gas plants to the front of the line Support because affordable, reliable power is essential for families, churches, and community employers to flourish, and government should not allow red tape to endanger basic needs like heat, light, and work. Prioritizing dependable generation reflects responsible stewardship and helps protect households from preventable shortages and price shocks.

Targeting Israel by Labeling It a "Foreign Country of Concern" Through the DETERRENT Act

Neutral
The Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) amendment #5 to the DETERRENT Act is largely intended to target Israel by expanding the bill's definition of a "Foreign Country of Concern." Specifically, the amendment would add any country defending a case before the International Court of Justice related to alleged violations of the Geneva Conventions or the Genocide Convention, and any country whose government includes officials with outstanding arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court. This change would import the judgments of international tribunals into U.S. higher education policy and allow politically charged foreign disputes to trigger sweeping federal consequences under the bill's restrictions and compliance framework. According to the sponsor, the Israeli Government is an "apartheid regime"
Christian Employers Alliance opposes using vague federal labeling powers to single out nations and institutions based on politicized international proceedings rather than clear, accountable U.S. law. Faith-based employers support truthful standards and equal justice that protect lawful education and civic engagement from arbitrary government targeting.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Hebrews 13:6 – "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?"
Leadership Insight
Fear fades when God is near. Leaders emboldened by divine help act with clarity when others retreat. Confidence in God dismantles intimidation and fuels endurance.

Expanding the State Department's Power to Impose a Politicized Blacklist and Attack Israel by Amending the DETERRENT Act.

Neutral
The Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) amendment #6 to the DETERRENT Act is largely intended to target Israel by expanding the bill's definition of "Investment of Concern" to include any entity that the Secretary of State determines consistently facilitates and enables state violence and repression, war and occupation, or severe violations of international law and human rights. This change would inject broad, subjective foreign-policy judgments into a higher education transparency bill and give the executive branch sweeping discretion to label entities based on political and diplomatic interpretations According to the sponsor, Israel "throws international law in the shredder" and are "perpetrators of the most horrific crimes against humanity."
Christian Employers Alliance opposes expanding vague federal blacklist powers that can be weaponized against U.S. allies such as Israel through politicized standards and selective targeting. Government should act with clear limits and equal justice so that moral conviction and lawful commerce are not chilled by arbitrary federal labeling.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
John 16:33 – "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
Leadership Insight
Courage doesn’t wait for comfort - it rises in conflict. Kingdom leaders understand that victory is already sealed in Christ. We don’t fight for triumph; we fight from it.
