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

With 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.

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

With CEA
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.
H.J. RES. 106House 20252x

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

With CEA
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.
H.J.Res. 130House 20252x

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

With 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.

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

With 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 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.

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

With CEA
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."
Leadership Insight
Enjoyment is not indulgence - it’s gratitude. God delights in leaders who enjoy His blessings without forgetting His mission. Gratitude keeps wealth from becoming an idol.
H.J.Res. 25House 20251x

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

With CEA
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. 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.
H.J.Res. 35House 20252x

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

With CEA
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.

Repealing a Biden Rule at the Department of Energy that Imposed Unnecessary Labeling and Certification Mandates on Consumer Appliances.

With CEA
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.
H.J.Res. 61House 20252x

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

With CEA
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.

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

With CEA
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.
H.J.Res. 87House 20252x

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

With CEA
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.
H.J.Res. 89House 20252x

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

With CEA
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."
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.

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

With CEA
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".

With CEA
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

With CEA
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.

With CEA
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.

With CEA
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.

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

Against CEA
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

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"

Against CEA
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.

Restoring Separation of Powers by Ending Nationwide Injunctions Issued by Rogue Federal Judges Through the "No Rogue Rulings Act".

With CEA
The "No Rogue Rulings Act" (NORRA) sponsored by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) limits the authority of federal district courts to issue injunctions. Specifically, the bill prohibits a district court from issuing an injunction unless the injunction applies only to the parties in the particular case before the court. Supporters argue this would stop a single unelected judge from unilaterally freezing federal policy nationwide and would force broad national questions to be resolved through the normal appellate process rather than through "judge-shopping."
Christian Employers Alliance supports restoring constitutional checks and balances so that laws are made by elected representatives, not imposed nationwide by a single judge. A limited judiciary strengthens the rule of law and protects the freedom of communities, families, and faith-based employers to live and work under fair and accountable government.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Micah 6:8 – "What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."

Advancing a Politicized Climate Change Agenda by Forcing Taxpayers to Fund "Low-Emissions" Cement, Concrete, and Asphalt Programs at the Department of Energy.

Against CEA
The "Innovative Mitigation Partnerships for Asphalt and Concrete Technologies Act" (IMPACT Act), introduced by Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), would require the Department of Energy to establish a new program supporting the advanced production of "low-emissions" cement, concrete, and asphalt. The program would focus on specified technologies and processes, including carbon capture and energy-efficient production methods, and it would authorize DOE to select eligible entities – including government, nonprofit, educational, and private-sector organizations – to carry out demonstration projects. According to opponents, this is another example of the federal government picking winners and losers, using taxpayer-backed programs to advance "low-emissions" mandates that can crowd out market-driven innovation and invite future spending expansions
Christian Employers Alliance opposes new federal subsidy programs that shift economic decisions from families and communities to Washington bureaucrats. Faithful stewardship is best served by honest markets and accountable government, not taxpayer-funded schemes that politicize industry and invite waste.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Proverbs 22:7 – "The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender."
Leadership Insight
Borrowing beyond purpose is surrendering authority. Debt doesn’t just cost interest - it costs influence. Leaders who manage debt wisely preserve both freedom and dignity.

Blocking a Federal Reserve "Digital Dollar" that Would Enable a Financial Surveillance State through the "Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act".

With CEA
The Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, introduced by Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), would prohibit a Federal Reserve bank from offering products or services directly to individuals, maintaining accounts on behalf of individuals, or issuing a central bank digital currency (a "digital dollar"). The bill would also prohibit the Federal Reserve Board from using a central bank digital currency to implement monetary policy and would restrict the Fed from testing, studying, creating, or implementing a CBDC except as specifically allowed by the bill. In effect, it would prevent Washington from building a government-controlled payment system that could bypass the private banking system and place day-to-day transactions under federal control. According to supporters of the bill, a CBDC would open the door to unprecedented monitoring, politicized control over what Americans can buy, and new pressure points for bureaucrats to punish disfavored lawful activity
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because a government-run digital currency could erode privacy and enable coercive control that threatens the freedom of families, churches, and employers. Financial systems should protect human dignity and honest commerce, not become tools for centralized surveillance and social pressure.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Matthew 5:10 – "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Leadership Insight
Persecution is not failure - it’s proof of alignment with Christ. Heaven calls “blessed” those the world cancels. Courage in conflict is the currency of eternal reward.

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

With 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.

Protecting Children Who Survive Abortions by Requiring Life-Saving Medical Care Through the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

With CEA
The "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act," introduced by Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO), would amend federal law to require health care practitioners to provide the same degree of professional care to a baby born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion as would be provided to any other child born alive at the same gestational age, including ensuring the child is immediately transported and admitted to a hospital. The bill also establishes penalties for a practitioner who fails to provide this care and creates reporting requirements, while protecting the mother from prosecution and allowing a civil cause of action in certain cases. According to supporters, this is about closing a moral and legal loophole that leaves the most vulnerable children without guaranteed protection at the very moment they are fighting to live. They argue that when a baby is born alive, the question is no longer about abortion politics but about whether our laws will enforce basic medical care and accountability
Christian Employers Alliance supports protecting the lives of children made in the image of God and ensuring they receive basic medical care when born alive. A just society should not tolerate loopholes that allow the vulnerable to be denied protection at their most defenseless moment.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Psalm 139:13-16 – "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Leadership Insight
David's declaration that God forms life in the womb is foundational to healthcare freedom. Medical professionals who believe life is sacred from conception must be free to practice medicine without being forced to participate in abortion or life-ending procedures. Healthcare freedom protects providers, hospitals, and insurers from government mandates that require complicity in ending the lives God is authoring. Conscience protection is healthcare freedom.

Expanding the National Park Service Footprint and Fueling Runaway Spending Through a New "National Park" Redesignation and Boundary Study in Salem.

Against CEA
The Salem Maritime National Historical Park Redesignation and Boundary Study Act, introduced by Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), would redesignate the Salem Maritime National Historic Site in Massachusetts as the Salem Maritime National Historical Park. The bill would also direct the National Park Service to conduct a boundary study to evaluate whether additional lands should be added to the park unit. While the change is framed as largely symbolic, redesignations and boundary studies are often the first step toward expanding federal land management, acquiring additional property interests, and increasing long-term operating obligations. According to opponents, Congress should not be growing the federal parks bureaucracy or laying the groundwork for future expansion when federal land agencies already struggle with maintenance backlogs and should be focused on core stewardship of existing assets rather than creating new federal footprints
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this bill because stewardship means restraining government growth and prioritizing faithful use of resources already entrusted to public care. Expanding federal footprints through symbolic redesignations can fuel mission creep and higher costs that burden families, churches, and employers.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Ecclesiastes 5:10 – "Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless."
Leadership Insight
The pursuit of wealth without purpose breeds emptiness. Leaders who prioritize accumulation over stewardship lose both meaning and influence. Contentment comes from mission, not margin. Economic freedom flourishes when purpose drives prosperity.

Improving Data on Targeted Attacks on Law Enforcement to Strengthen Officer Safety

With CEA
The Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Tim Moore (R-NC), would require the Department of Justice to report on targeted attacks on law enforcement officers, assess the feasibility of incorporating those attacks into existing national crime reporting systems, and identify mental health resources available to law enforcement. The measure is aimed at creating a clearer nationwide picture of threats and violence directed at officers and whether current reporting systems adequately capture that reality. It also pushes DOJ to evaluate how officer wellness resources are being provided and where gaps exist. According to supporters, better data and transparency are necessary to protect officers, inform policymakers, and ensure public safety decisions are based on facts rather than politics
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because those who serve the public in dangerous work deserve protection and honest accountability from leaders entrusted with authority. Clear information helps communities pursue peace and justice while supporting families and those called to serve in law enforcement.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Deuteronomy 16:18-20 – "Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you."
Leadership Insight
Moses commands impartial justice - judges who follow "justice alone" without showing partiality. First Freedom depends on courts that protect religious liberty impartially, without favoring secular ideology over sincere faith. When judges show partiality against religious conviction, accepting the cultural bribes of elite approval, they pervert the justice God demands. First Freedom requires judges who fear God more than cultural pressure.

Defending U.S. and Israeli Sovereignty by Sanctioning the International Criminal Court for Targeting Non-Member Nations

With CEA
The "Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act," introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), would impose sanctions related to the International Criminal Court (ICC) when it attempts to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute "protected persons" of the United States and certain U.S. allies that have not consented to ICC jurisdiction. The bill requires visa- and property-blocking sanctions on foreign persons who materially assist such ICC actions, and it also applies visa restrictions to certain immediate family members, while rescinding and restricting U.S. funding for the ICC. In part, the legislation responds to the ICC's escalating actions against Israel after, in November 2024, the ICC announced arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on baseless charges of "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity." According to supporters, this is about stopping an unaccountable international tribunal from trying to police Americans and key allies from the outside, even though the United States never granted the ICC authority over our citizens and Israel is not subject to its jurisdiction either
Christian Employers Alliance supports defending national sovereignty and the rule of law from unaccountable global institutions that threaten justice and ordered self-government. Faith-based employers thrive when authority is accountable and limited, not outsourced to distant bodies that cannot be corrected by the people.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Nehemiah 2:17 – "Then I said to them, 'You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.'"
Leadership Insight
Nehemiah assessed the ruins of Jerusalem and called the people to rebuild what had been destroyed. First Freedom faces similar ruins today - religious liberty eroded, conscience protections demolished, believers marginalized in public life. Like Nehemiah, we must name the disgrace honestly and mobilize to rebuild the protections that once secured religious freedom. Walls of protection don't rebuild themselves; they require leaders who see the ruins and call others to action.

Codifying Medicaid Waiver Budget Gimmicks that Weaken Budget Neutrality and Enable Bigger Federal Spending

With CEA
The Rep. Brittany Pettersen (D-CO) amendment #3 to the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act of 2025 would codify guidance directing that Medicaid Section 1115 waiver "budget neutrality" determinations take into account claimed downstream savings. This approach can allow waiver proposals to appear "cost neutral" on paper by crediting speculative or indirect savings, even when the waiver expands spending in the Medicaid program itself. Locking this methodology into law would make it harder for future administrations and Congress to restore stricter budget-neutrality standards and could accelerate waiver-driven expansion of Medicaid benefits and federal obligations. According to opponents, the amendment weakens a key taxpayer safeguard, invites accounting games, and increases the risk that Medicaid costs will grow while transparency and fiscal accountability decline
Christian Employers Alliance opposes this amendment because stewardship requires honest budgeting and clear limits, not federal policy built on speculative “savings” that can mask new dependency and higher costs. Compassion is best served when government is transparent and restrained, leaving room for families, churches, and local communities to meet needs without Washington expanding its reach.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
Romans 14:3-4 – "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall."
Leadership Insight
Paul's protection of conscience applies directly to healthcare freedom. No government or employer has authority to mandate medical treatments, vaccines, or procedures that violate sincere religious or moral conviction. Healthcare freedom means patients and providers can follow conscience in medical decisions without coercion, contempt, or punishment. When healthcare mandates override conscience, they violate the biblical principle that each person is accountable to their own Master.

Prohibiting the Executive Branch from Enacting a Fracking Moratorium Without Congressional Approval through the "Protecting American Energy Production Act".

With CEA
The "Protecting American Energy Production Act," introduced by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), would prohibit the President from declaring a moratorium on the use of hydraulic fracturing unless Congress authorizes it. The bill also expresses the sense of Congress that states should maintain primacy for regulating fracking for oil and natural gas production on state and private lands. According to supporters, this is a direct response to the way Washington can use "emergencies," agency pressure, and executive actions to choke off American energy even when families are already being squeezed by high costs. They argue a federal fracking moratorium would kill jobs, raise utility and fuel prices, and hand more control of U.S. energy to bureaucrats and foreign producers
Christian Employers Alliance supports stopping sweeping executive power grabs that threaten the ability of families and employers to afford basic necessities and keep communities thriving. Limited, accountable government better reflects faithful stewardship than top-down mandates that raise costs and undermine honest work.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
1 Timothy 6:17-18 – "Command those who are rich... to be generous and willing to share."

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.

Cracking Down on Fentanyl Trafficking by Permanently Scheduling Fentanyl Related Substances Through the HALT Fentanyl Act

With CEA
The "HALT Fentanyl Act," introduced by Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA), would permanently place fentanyl related substances as a class into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. This change is intended to stop traffickers from staying one step ahead of the law by making small chemical tweaks to create new fentanyl knockoffs that are not clearly covered under current scheduling. The bill also aligns penalties and thresholds for fentanyl related substances with existing fentanyl analogue enforcement and includes changes meant to streamline certain research registration rules. According to supporters, this is about closing a deadly loophole that cartels and dealers exploit while communities bury loved ones and first responders face a constant, toxic threat
Christian Employers Alliance supports enforcing the rule of law against those who traffic deadly drugs that destroy lives and families made in God’s image. Government should act decisively to stop criminal harm while upholding accountability and protecting communities from those who profit off suffering.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Psalm 37:5 – "Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this."
Leadership Insight
God doesn’t bless uncommitted plans. Surrender precedes success. When leaders trust God with process and outcome, operations align with His peace.

Protecting Women's Sports by Codifying Sex-Based Athletic Protections

With CEA
The "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act," introduced by Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL), would amend Title IX to make clear that for purposes of athletics, sex is based on an individual's reproductive biology and genetics at birth. The bill would prohibit schools that receive federal education funds from allowing males to participate on women's and girls' sports teams or in women's athletic programs. According to supporters, without a clear law from Congress, federal bureaucrats and activist lawsuits will keep pressuring schools to let biological males compete in girls' sports, undermining fairness, safety, and equal opportunity while forcing families and local communities to comply with Washington's ideological agenda
Christian Employers Alliance supports protecting the dignity and safety of women and girls and affirming the created reality of male and female. Government should not use federal power to force communities and schools to deny biological truth or erase protections for women.
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
God's design for gender is intentional, not arbitrary. Leaders who defend biological truth protect the foundation of family, identity, and society. Cultural pressure to erase distinctions does not change divine design. Clarity about gender honors God's created order.

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

With 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.

Ensuring Taxpayer-Backed SBA Loans Go Only to Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents

With CEA
The American Entrepreneurs First Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), would revise application requirements for the Small Business Administration's 7(a) and 504 loan programs. It would require loan applications to include the applicant's date of birth and a certification that the applicant, or all beneficial owners, are U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or lawful permanent residents. The measure would also make certain categories of non-citizens ineligible for these taxpayer-backed loans, including asylees, refugees, visa holders, nonimmigrants, DACA recipients, and individuals without lawful status. According to supporters, federal loan programs should not subsidize illegal immigration or provide taxpayer-supported financing to individuals without permanent legal ties to the United States, and Congress must ensure limited federal resources are prioritized for Americans and those legally rooted here
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because government must steward public resources honestly and prioritize its duties to the citizens it is accountable to serve. Clear eligibility rules help prevent public programs from becoming incentives for lawlessness and protect communities where families, churches, and employers seek to flourish.
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."

Streamlining Cross-Border Energy Permits to Stop Political Interference and Strengthen North American Energy Security.

With CEA
The "Promoting Cross-border Energy Infrastructure Act," sponsored by Rep. Julie Fedorchak (R-ND), establishes a statutory process for authorizing cross-border energy infrastructure for the import or export of oil and natural gas and the transmission of electricity between the United States and Canada or Mexico. The bill replaces the executive order based "Presidential permit" approach by requiring a "certificate of crossing" before constructing, connecting, operating, or maintaining a border-crossing facility, with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission responsible for oil and natural gas pipelines and the Department of Energy responsible for electric transmission facilities. It sets deadlines for agency action after completion of the applicable National Environmental Policy Act review and includes additional reliability-related requirements for electric transmission facilities. According to supporters, the measure is intended to reduce politically driven delays and give energy developers and investors a more predictable, transparent path to build the infrastructure needed to expand supply, strengthen grid reliability, and keep energy costs from climbing for families and employers Support because reliable, affordable energy allows families, churches, and employers to serve their communities without unnecessary hardship created by politicized government barriers. A transparent, predictable permitting process reflects faithful stewardship by limiting arbitrary federal power and protecting household stability.

Ending USPS ZIP Code Bureaucracy that Raises Costs, Delays Emergency Response, and Creates Tax Confusion for Local Communities

With CEA
This bill, introduced by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), would direct the United States Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code within 270 days for dozens of specifically listed communities across the country. The measure was written to address long-running problems in communities that share ZIP Codes with neighboring jurisdictions, which can affect mail delivery, local tax administration, insurance rates, and emergency response. During House debate, even supporters noted that this is not just a postal matter because ZIP Codes are now used in everything from business planning to tax collection and first responder dispatch. According to supporters, requiring unique ZIP Codes for these communities would cut through red tape at USPS and fix a practical government failure that has left families, businesses, and local officials dealing with avoidable confusion and higher costs for years.
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because government should act with clarity and accountability so communities are not burdened by confusion and inefficiency that disrupt daily life and public safety. Fixing avoidable bureaucratic failures reflects good stewardship by ensuring systems serve people effectively and support families, businesses, and first responders.
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."

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

With 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.

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

With 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."

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

With 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."
Leadership Insight
True growth takes time. God blesses consistency over shortcuts. Quick profit without principle leads to eventual poverty.

Establishing Clear Rules for Digital Assets to Rein in "Regulation by Enforcement" and Protect Americans from a Federal Digital Currency

With CEA
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, introduced by Rep. French Hill (R-AR), would establish a regulatory framework for digital commodities and clarify when a digital asset is regulated as a security versus a commodity. The bill would assign primary oversight of digital commodity spot markets to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and set standards for exchanges, brokers, dealers, custody practices, and customer protections. It also creates disclosure and compliance requirements intended to bring more transparency and accountability to digital asset markets. According to supporters, these reforms end the current system of regulatory uncertainty, keep innovation in the United States, and protect consumers by replacing ad hoc enforcement with clear rules while also blocking a government-run "digital dollar" model that could expand federal control over private transactions
Christian Employers Alliance supports this bill because clear, restrained rules protect honest commerce and human dignity better than arbitrary government power exercised through enforcement threats. Financial freedom and privacy help families, churches, and employers serve their communities without fear of centralized control.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
2 Corinthians 9:6 – "Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously."
Leadership Insight
Kingdom economics runs on sowing, not hoarding. Leaders who sow generously into God’s purposes never run dry. The size of your harvest mirrors the size of your heart.

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

With 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.

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.

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

With 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."

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.
