H.R. 3383 (Self Amdt. 123)House 20252x

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.

Leadership Insight
Earthly wealth is a test for eternal responsibility. God promotes those who handle finances as ministry, not mastery. Stewardship today prepares leaders for Kingdom influence tomorrow.

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

With 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 20252x

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

With 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.

Placing America First by Striking Funding for Overseas "Humanitarian" Programs Unrelated to Core National Defense.

Against CEA
The Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) amendment #94 to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would strike funding for the Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid (OHDACA) program. OHDACA is used to support overseas humanitarian and civic assistance activities that often operate alongside broader foreign policy initiatives rather than directly strengthening U.S. military readiness. According to supporters, the Pentagon should focus on deterring adversaries and rebuilding readiness, not serving as a global aid agency, and that taxpayer dollars for national defense should not be diverted into open-ended overseas programs that blur the line between defense and foreign aid Support because government has a duty to defend the nation, but it is not called to take on limitless global roles that displace local responsibility and voluntary compassion. Faithful stewardship requires focusing taxpayer resources on essential duties and resisting mission creep that burdens families and future generations.

Strengthening Government Integrity by Preventing Taxpayer Funded Gender Transition Procedures in the Military.

With CEA
The Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) amendment #14 to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would prohibit the use of Department of Defense funds to provide gender transition procedures, including surgeries and hormone therapies. According to supporters, this measure keeps the military's health system focused on readiness and medically necessary care rather than controversial, elective interventions driven by political activism Taxpayer resources should be stewarded wisely, and government should not finance procedures that reject God’s design for the human person. This amendment helps keep the military focused on mission readiness while promoting responsible, limited governance.

Protecting Women's Sports at U.S. Military Academies by Keeping Female Athletics Female

With CEA
The Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) amendment #15 to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would prohibit the Superintendent of a Service Academy from allowing a cadet or midshipman who is a biological male from participating in an athletic program or activity that is designated exclusively for biological females. The amendment would apply to women's teams and women-only athletic opportunities at the service academies. According to supporters, this protects fairness and safety in competition while preserving equal athletic opportunities for female cadets and midshipmen God created male and female, and public institutions should honor that reality while protecting women’s safety and dignity. This amendment supports a clear standard that preserves fairness and avoids forcing ideological confusion into military life.

Keeping Military Forms Grounded in Biological Sex Instead of Political Gender Ideology.

With CEA
The Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) amendment #16 to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from soliciting information through a form or survey regarding an individual's gender identity. It would also prohibit providing an option to indicate an individual's sex or gender is something other than male or female. According to supporters, this prevents the military from being drawn into divisive social engineering and keeps official records clear, consistent, and focused on readiness rather than political activism God created mankind male and female, and public policy should reflect that truth rather than institutionalize confusion through government forms. This amendment supports faithful stewardship by keeping the military focused on its mission and treating service members with clarity and dignity.

Evil days demand equipped leaders. The armor of God is not symbolic - it’s strategic. Standing ground is not stubbornness; it’s spiritual warfare.

Protecting Privacy and Safety by Ensuring Single Sex Military Spaces are Based on Biological Sex

With CEA
The Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) amendment #17 to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would prohibit individuals from accessing or using single sex spaces on military installations that do not correspond to the individual's biological sex. The amendment applies to spaces such as restrooms, changing areas, and similar facilities where privacy and personal safety are at stake. According to supporters, this measure prevents political ideological policies from overriding basic protections for service members and their families God created male and female, and public policy should honor that truth while protecting the privacy and dignity of every person on base. This amendment supports a responsible standard that safeguards service members and families from radical transgender and LGBTQ agendas, while keeping the military focused on its mission.

Preventing LBGTQ Pride and Other Politized Flags from Being Flown on U.S. Military Bases

Against CEA
The Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) amendment #90 to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would prevent the military chain of command or senior civilian leadership from approving additional flags (such as LGBTQ Pride flags) for display. Under current law, the FY2024 NDAA generally limits flags displayed in Department of Defense workplaces and public areas to a defined list of "approved" flags, but it also includes a catch-all that permits leadership to approve other flags at their discretion. This amendment removes that catch-all discretion and restricts DoD flag displays to the flags specifically listed in statute. According to supporters, this helps keep the armed forces focused on mission readiness and prevents taxpayer-funded military installations from being used to elevate partisan or ideological symbolism
Christian Employers Alliance supports ensuring America’s military remains a mission-focused institution that does not elevate political or ideological symbols such as LBGTQ Pride over unity and service. Taxpayer-funded government workplaces should reflect order, neutrality, and respect for all, rather than becoming arenas for cultural division.
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."
Leadership Insight

Stopping Gender Transition Procedures from Being Funded Through Taxpayer Funded Military Family Programs

With CEA
The Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) amendment #13 to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would prohibit the provision of gender transition procedures, including surgery or medication, through the Exceptional Family Member Program. The amendment would block this program from being used to facilitate or subsidize these elective interventions. According to supporters, this measure keeps military support programs focused on legitimate readiness and family needs rather than political and controversial medical procedures Government programs should not be used to promote practices that deny the truth that God created mankind male and female. This amendment reflects responsible stewardship by keeping military family support focused on real needs and proper limits.

Stopping Politicized "Green" Procurement Mandates for the Military's Vehicle Fleet

With CEA
The Rep. Jimmy Patronis (R-FL) amendment #9 to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would strike provisions that establish a preference for Department of Defense motor vehicles using electric or hybrid propulsion systems, along with related requirements. According to supporters, this measure keeps defense procurement focused on mission readiness and operational needs rather than politically driven energy preferences. By removing one size fits all procurement directives, the amendment would allow commanders and acquisition officials to choose the right vehicles for the job without being pushed toward technologies that may not fit every mission, location, or logistics environment The military should be equipped through responsible stewardship, not politicized mandates that distract from its God ordained mission to defend the nation. Keeping procurement decisions focused on readiness helps ensure taxpayer resources are used wisely and faithfully.

SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
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.

Ending Pentagon Mission Creep by Cutting Overseas Humanitarian and Civic Aid Spending

Against CEA
The Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) amendment #52 to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2026 would strike $117,988,000 for the Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid programs. These programs fund certain humanitarian, disaster response, and civic-aid activities conducted by the Department of Defense outside the United States. By removing this funding, the amendment would narrow the Pentagon's role back toward core national defense responsibilities. According to the sponsor, this change helps ensure defense dollars are focused on America's warfighters and military readiness, rather than overseas projects that blur the line between defense and foreign aid
Christian Employers Alliance supports limiting the federal government to its God-ordained duties, including defending the nation rather than expanding into overseas social and civic programs. Taxpayer dollars should not be redirected into global missions better handled by private relief organizations and local communities.
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."
Leadership Insight
Wise leaders pay attention to what others ignore. Stewardship requires awareness - both of people and resources. Neglect always leaks influence.

Placing America First by Striking Defense Spending for HIV Prevention Education Programs in Foreign Countries

Against CEA
The Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) amendment #54 to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2026 would strike funding in the bill for HIV prevention educational activities in foreign countries. It is noteworthy that the U.S., through other appropriation bills, provide roughly $6 billion annually to prevent and treat HIV-AIDS globally. According to the sponsor, such initiatives are best carried out through the countless charities and foundations improving health across the globe, not through funding directed towards national defense
Christian Employers Alliance supports this amendment because government should steward taxpayer dollars responsibly and keep defense spending focused on the limited duty of national defense. Compassion is best expressed through accountable, mission-focused aid and private charitable work, not by expanding unrelated overseas programs through Pentagon funding.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
1 Timothy 5:8 – “Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
Leadership Insight
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.

Placing America First by Striking $500 Million in Funding for Jordan's Military within the NDAA.

Against CEA
The Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) amendment #56 to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2026 would strike $500 million in funding in the bill that supports the Armed Forces of Jordan. According to the sponsor, this amendment is intended to ensure the Defense appropriations bill funds only America's military, not foreign militaries, especially when other legislation already provides substantial additional aid to Jordan, including $1.65 billion in the State and Foreign Operations funding bill released the same week of the vote
Christian Employers Alliance supports this amendment because stewardship requires that public funds be prioritized for the government’s primary duty to protect its own citizens. Charity and diplomacy have a place, but Congress should be transparent and restrained rather than routing major foreign military subsidies through defense spending bills.

Defunding the Delaware River Basin Commission and Ending the Ban on Hydraulic Fracturing.

Against CEA
The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #67 to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026 would prohibit funding for the Delaware River Basin Commission and transfer the savings to the Spending Reduction Account. The Delaware River Basin Commission has used its authority to institute a ban on hydraulic fracturing within the basin. According to supporters, this is an example of an unelected regional body acting as a de facto energy regulator, overriding state and local priorities while restricting private property use and domestic energy production. By cutting off federal funding, the amendment is intended to dismantle support for the commission's fracking prohibition and restore decision-making to the states, local communities, and the lawful processes that should govern energy development Policies that block lawful work and responsible resource development harm families and communities by raising costs and limiting opportunity. This amendment supports faithful stewardship and limited government by resisting unelected bureaucratic bans and encouraging energy policies that allow people to provide for their households.

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.

Ending the Draconian Fracking Ban Imposed by the Delaware River Basin Commission.

Against CEA
The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #66 to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026 would prohibit the use of funds for the Delaware River Basin Commission to implement or enforce the final rule entitled, "Comprehensive Plan and Special Regulations With Respect to High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing; Rules of Practice and Procedure Regarding Project Review Classifications and Fees." Effectively, this measure would terminate the ban on hydraulic fracking within the basin that the Commission had imposed. According to supporters, the Commission has acted as an unaccountable regional regulator by imposing a sweeping ban that blocks lawful domestic energy production, undermines state authority, and drives up costs for families and businesses. The amendment is intended to cut off the funding stream that enables enforcement and help unwind the Commission's anti-energy posture Government should not empower unaccountable authorities to restrict lawful work and energy production that helps families afford heat, power, and transportation. This amendment supports faithful stewardship by limiting bureaucratic overreach and protecting the ability of communities to thrive.

Defunding the Green New Deal Research Slush Fund Known as the ARPA-E and Returning the Money to Taxpayers

Against CEA
The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #68 to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026 would eliminate funding for the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) and transfer the savings to the Spending Reduction Account. ARPA-E funds federal energy research and demonstration-style projects that often align with climate and "energy transition" agendas. According to supporters, the agency operates as a pipeline for Green New Deal-style initiatives by subsidizing politically driven technologies and steering private-sector innovation through federal grants rather than market demand Taxpayer dollars should not be used to advance politicized “energy transition” agendas that distort markets and encourage dependence on government. This amendment reflects faithful stewardship by limiting federal power and curbing wasteful subsidies so innovation can be guided by responsibility and real needs.

Stopping the Enrichment of the Electric Vehicle Industry at Taxpayer Expense through the Defunding of the DOE's Vehicle Loan Program.

Against CEA
The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #69 to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026 would eliminate funding for the Department of Energy's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program and transfer the savings to the Spending Reduction Account. According to the sponsor, this program "provides loans to companies that make Green New Deal cars" and has recklessly spent over $1 trillion, including $8 billion in subsidies on electric vehicle chargers. The amendment is intended to stop federal subsidies that prop up favored industries and to reduce the temptation for lobbying-driven deals that bypass normal market discipline Taxpayer-backed subsidies that reward political favoritism undermine honest stewardship and invite cronyism. Government should stay in its proper, limited role and allow markets and communities to pursue innovation without coercing families to underwrite risky deals.

Leadership Insight
God limits leaders to protect them from pride, distraction, and corruption. Authority without accountability breeds tyranny. Leaders who embrace limits model humility and preserve their moral authority. Power is a gift, not a right to excess.

Protecting Taxpayers by Defunding a Crony Department of Energy Loan Program which has Enriched Chinese Companies at the Expense of American Taxpayers.

Against CEA
The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #70 to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026 would eliminate $35 million in administrative funding for the Department of Energy's Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program and transfer the savings to the Spending Reduction Account. According to the sponsor, the program reduces market discipline and has cost taxpayers many hundreds of millions, with some of the most egregious examples including Solyndra, Fisker Automotive and A123 Systems. The sponsor also noted that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was the ultimate beneficiary, as following the bankruptcies of Fisker and A123, the Chinese purchased the companies for pennies on the dollar Taxpayer-backed loan guarantees invite cronyism and shift financial risk from private actors onto families, undermining faithful stewardship. Limiting these subsidies helps keep government in its proper role and discourages the kind of politicized favoritism that distorts markets and burdens communities.

Cutting Funding for LGBTQ+ and Racial Minority Directed Grants via a Reduction in Appropriations to the Northern Border Commission

Against CEA
The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #28 to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026 would reduce funding for the Northern Border Regional Commission by $13,319,727 (returning the program to fiscal year 2019 levels) and transfer the savings to the Spending Reduction Account. The Northern Border Regional Commission's 2024 – 2029 strategic plan states its intention to "invest in projects that promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and increased accessibility" as its investment principle. Under the plan, the NBRC will also establish a committee that includes LGBTQ+ and minority groups to help the NBRC "maximize outreach and increase the utilization of NBRC funding" Government should not use taxpayer dollars to advance identity-based favoritism or politicized social agendas through grant programs. This amendment reflects faithful stewardship by rolling back unnecessary spending and keeping community development closer to local responsibility rather than Washington control.

Leadership Insight
Righteous leadership protects workers' freedom to negotiate, associate, and prosper; wicked rulers empower coercive unions, mandate participation, and trap workers in systems that benefit bosses over laborers. Workforce freedom means workers rejoice in opportunity; workforce oppression means workers groan under mandates, dues extraction, and forced representation they never chose.

Defunding Radical Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiatives via a Reduction in Appropriation to the Southwest Border Regional Commission.

Against CEA
The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #72 to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026 would reduce funding for the Southwest Border Regional Commission – an entity heavily focused on advancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) – and transfer the savings to the Spending Reduction Account. According to the Commission's 2025 strategic plan, its central commitment will involve "equity" and will be "focusing on underserved populations, including low-income residents, communities of color, and rural areas". The plan includes various climate change initiatives and grants exclusively to minority-owned businesses Taxpayer dollars should not be used to promote racial preferences or politicized agendas that undermine equal treatment and local responsibility. This amendment reflects faithful stewardship by limiting government’s role and keeping communities, not Washington, at the center of economic development.

Rolling Back the Ballooning Southeast Crescent Regional Commission and Stopping Electric Vehicle and Green Pork Spending

Against CEA
The Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) amendment #73 to the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026, would reduce funding for the Southeast Crescent Regional Commission and transfer the savings to the Spending Reduction Account. The amendment would restore funding to pre-pandemic levels after the program's appropriation ballooned from an initial $250,000 to more than $16 million. According to supporters, this commission has drifted into politicized initiatives, including electric vehicle charging and green infrastructure, that are far outside core federal responsibilities. By scaling the program back and directing the savings to spending reduction, the amendment is intended to curb Washington's habit of turning small grants into permanent, expanding slush funds for regional pet projects Government should practice faithful stewardship and avoid using taxpayer dollars to expand politicized programs that belong to states, communities, and the private sector. This amendment supports restraint by rolling back bloated spending and limiting Washington’s reach into local development.

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."
Leadership Insight
Jesus warns against rushing to court - wisdom that protects operational freedom from predatory litigation. Businesses today face adversaries who weaponize lawsuits to extract settlements, destroy reputations, and bankrupt enterprises through legal costs alone. Operational freedom requires tort reform, loser-pays provisions, and protection from frivolous claims that use the courthouse as a tool of extortion rather than justice.

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.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:

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."

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

Neutral
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.

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.

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."
Leadership Insight
Jesus exposes how power corrupts through title and control. Kingdom leaders serve instead of dominating. True authority flows from humility, not hierarchy. Leaders who "lord over" others betray their calling - service precedes honor.

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.

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

Neutral
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.

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

Neutral
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.

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.

Repealing a Biden IRS Rule that Grows Financial Surveillance Through Expanded Crypto "Broker" Reporting

Neutral
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."

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.

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.

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.

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.'"

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."

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.

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:

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.

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.

Extending the Statute of Limitations to Prosecute Pandemic Unemployment Fraud and Recover Taxpayer Dollars.

Neutral
The "Pandemic Unemployment Fraud Enforcement Act," introduced by Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), would extend the statute of limitations from 5 years to 10 years for federal criminal prosecution and civil enforcement actions for fraud tied to several COVID-era unemployment insurance programs. This change is aimed at preventing major fraud cases from aging out as the current deadline begins to hit in 2025. According to supporters, pandemic unemployment programs were looted on a massive scale through identity theft and organized fraud schemes, and Washington should not let criminals keep stolen taxpayer dollars simply because the clock ran out. They argue the bill gives investigators and prosecutors the time needed to track down sophisticated fraud networks, pursue recovery through civil actions, and protect honest workers and small businesses from paying the price for a system that was abused
Christian Employers Alliance supports efforts to hold fraudsters accountable and recover stolen taxpayer dollars, reflecting honest stewardship and respect for the rule of law. Government should protect the public from theft and corruption without rewarding wrongdoing through avoidable loopholes.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Malachi 3:10 – "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse... and see if I will not open the floodgates of heaven."
Leadership Insight
Obedience unlocks overflow. When leaders give God what belongs to Him, Heaven responds with abundance. Tithing is not loss - it’s trust on display.

Expanding NSF Climate-Research Bureaucracy Through New Mandates for Activist-Driven Ocean Programs.

Neutral
The "Accelerating Networking, Cyberinfrastructure, and Hardware for Oceanic Research Act" (ANCHOR Act), introduced by Rep. Vince Fong (R-CA), would require the National Science Foundation to develop and carry out a plan to upgrade telecommunications and cybersecurity capabilities for the U.S. Academic Research Fleet. The bill directs NSF to assess vulnerabilities, set modernization priorities, and coordinate improvements for research vessels used as at-sea laboratories. According to opponents, nothing in current law prevents NSF from making improvements using existing authorities and resources, and the bill instead adds another federal mandate that can become a work around to the DOGE reforms to an agency heavily criticized for waste and politicized climate change and DEI priorities
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because stewardship requires restraining federal mission creep and refusing to use cybersecurity as a pretext for expanding politicized programs. Public resources should prioritize true national security needs, leaving families, churches, and employers freer to serve their communities without being taxed to fund activist agendas.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 19:17 – "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done."
Leadership Insight
Generosity is Heaven’s investment strategy. Giving to the poor is not charity - it’s partnership with God. What is released from your hand multiplies in His.

Fueling Cronyism and Wasteful Spending on Climate Change Initiatives through the "DOE and USDA Interagency Research Act".

Neutral
The "DOE and USDA Interagency Research Act," introduced by Rep. Frank Lucas (R-OK), would require the Department of Energy and the Department of Agriculture to carry out research and development activities through a formal interagency agreement. Joint initiatives include workforce development, biofuels and biobased products, and methods to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. According to opponents, these climate and energy agendas should be driven by states, markets, and private innovation – not the federal government – with this measure merely entrenching Washington's role in picking winners and losers
Christian Employers Alliance opposes expanding federal bureaucracy that centralizes decision-making over economic and energy priorities that should remain closer to families, communities, and private enterprise. Faithful stewardship is strengthened when government is limited, accountable, and avoids building new systems that invite coercive agendas and wasteful growth.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
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.

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

Neutral
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.

Growing the Federal Government to Impose New Mandates on Ticket Sellers Through the "TICKET Act"

Neutral
The "Transparency In Charges for Key Events Ticketing Act" (TICKET Act), introduced by Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), would impose new federal mandates on ticket sellers and resellers for concerts, sporting events, performances, and other live events regarding how prices and fees are displayed and itemized. The bill would require up-front "all-in" price displays, additional disclosures across the purchasing process, refund requirements in specified circumstances, and new federal prohibitions aimed at resale practices such as listing tickets a seller does not actually possess. According to opponents, this approach expands the role of the Federal Trade Commission by creating new compliance and enforcement obligations that add taxpayer costs and grow the federal regulatory footprint over routine consumer transactions. They argue that if additional rules are needed, they should be carefully tailored and handled at the state level, rather than building another federal enforcement regime that can become a platform for broader regulation of pricing and marketing in the private marketplace
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because truthful commerce does not require expanding federal control and enforcement bureaucracy over everyday transactions. Families and faith-driven employers are better served when government remains limited and accountable, leaving room for local solutions and private integrity rather than centralized mandates.
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.
