FIGHTING FOR FINANCIAL PRIVACY
I cosponsored the Protecting Financial Privacy Act to prohibit the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from accessing and monitoring Americans’ bank transactions above $600.
I won’t stand idly by watching the IRS spy on Americans’ private financial transactions. Last time Joe Biden had an office in the White House, his administration weaponized the IRS to target conservative organizations. That overreach didn’t give him enough control, so now, he is trying to allow IRS bureaucrats to spy on individual Americans’ bank accounts. The federal government has no business monitoring small cash deposits and how Americans pay their bills and has no right to snoop around in private checking accounts without a warrant.
The Constitution is the new White House doormat, but if Biden bothered to give it a read, he’d know that the Fourth Amendment doesn’t allow unreasonable searches.
BACKING THE BLUE
It was great to meet with officers from the Grand Junction Police Department in my D.C. office. Supporting the officers that protect and serve our local Colorado communities is of the utmost importance, and I was honored to host a few of the many courageous first responders that keep our communities safe. I will never fail to listen to the needs of those who go above and beyond in the call of duty to ensure that our communities are places where we can flourish and thrive, knowing that we are safe and taken care of.
I back the blue and always will.
The interests of rural Colorado will always come before the interests of career politicians, and I work tirelessly to ensure that our officers are equipped with the resources they need to accomplish their missions and protect our communities and themselves.
We discussed my MORE PILT Act, which will give more resources to rural communities to offset the tax revenue losses caused by large amounts of untaxable and undeveloped federal land. Additionally, my Active Forest Management, Wildfire Prevention, and Community Protection Act will reinvest 25% of forestry revenue back into rural communities. Combined, these two bills will increase resources for law enforcement, as well as for education, firefighting, infrastructure, and more.
Instead of centralizing power in the federal government, we need to put local communities first. I will keep fighting for you!

COMBATTING BIDEN’S SELLOUT TO OPEC
I joined 100 of my colleagues in the House of Representatives to call Biden out for emboldening American adversaries and selling us out to foreign interests.
Biden’s recent request to OPEC to increase their oil production is beyond troubling. Sending out pleas to anti-American tyrants projects an image of weakness and faltering American resolve. Instead of taking a serious look at boosting the American economy by creating energy jobs on U.S. soiland expanding access to American oil and gas reserves, Biden would rather drill overseas and support our enemies.
From canceling the Keystone XL pipeline to proposing a ban on domestic fracking and declaring a moratorium on oil and natural gas leases on federal lands and waters, Biden has shown time and time again that he hates American energy workers and will do everything in his power to ensure that American energy security is a thing of the past. If we don’t reverse Biden’s executive orders, Colorado will lose over 200,000 jobs in the next 20 years.
I am working for long-term American energy dominance and introduced the Protecting American Energy Jobs Actand filed a discharge petition to nullify and defund Biden’sjob-killing executive orders.
DEMANDING ANSWERS FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRICK GARLAND
Image
I led an effort demanding accountability from Attorney General Merrick Garland for his disturbing and unconstitutional weaponization of the FBI by labeling parents “domestic terrorists” for exercising their First Amendment rights.
“Terrorists” used to be violent extremists, but the Biden regime is most worried about a particular brand of “terrorist”—the type that drive minivans to pick their kids up from school. Rather than searching in the dark alleys of Kabul, Joe Biden apparently can find these more sophisticated terrorists lurking at PTA meetings, soccer practices, and school board hearings. If you ask Attorney General Garland, their sinister plan isn’t something trivial like a suicide bombing or a hijacking (those are outdated methods for the terrorists of yesteryear)—rather, they threaten to challenge woke orthodoxy.
What did these parents do wrong? They didn’t threaten democracy—they threatened Merrick Garland’s family’s wealth.
Garland’s son-in-law is the co-founder of the Mark Zuckerberg-backed company Panorama Education. Just in case Facebook doesn’t already mine enough data from our children, Panorama Education conducts psychometric screening on children in 1,500 school districts across the country. These “psychometric” exams ask young children inappropriate questions like, “Do you identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, aromantic / asexual, or questioning?”
News flash: Merrick Garland, Mark Zuckerberg, and public-school bureaucrats have no business asking children about their sexual preferences.
The media won’t cover this story, so I am standing up for parents. Last week, I sent a letter demanding to know who is behind the Department of Justice’s decision to weaponize the FBI against parents exercising their First Amendment rights and to know Garland’s ethics recusal list. I will continue to investigate the investigators until Americans get the answers they deserve.
Like any mom, I will never stop standing up for my children.
STANDING UP AGAINST BIDEN AND PELOSI’S SPENDING DISASTER
Nancy Pelosi is blaming the liberal media for not selling the American people on her $7 trillion fast track to socialism. The fact is, the American people know what she’s selling, and they don’t want it.
Americans struggling with debt don’t want to pay for the horrible ideas in these two bills, including:
- Free college for illegal aliens
- Extra funding so the IRS can monitor all of your bank account transactions
- The Civilian Climate Corps
- Electric school buses
- Salmon recovery
- Charging stations for AOC’s Tesla
- Money for Nancy Pelosi’s favorite golf course and hotel
- Programs to increase the number of female truckers
- Installing WiFi in federal prisons so the Boston Bomber can stream Netflix
- Destroying roads to increase congestion to incentivize people to take public transportation
And SO. MUCH. MORE
DELIVERING REAL INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS
We can all agree that America’s infrastructure needs improvement, but we can do it without Biden’s corporate welfare package. My American Infrastructure Modernization Act would reallocate $650 billion—almost 6 times more than the funding for actual infrastructure in Biden’s garbage bill—from unspent COVID stimulus money to infrastructure. This targeted, efficient infrastructure bill actually works for America, and it delivers results without raising taxes or increasing government spending by even 1 cent since it uses already appropriated funds.
PUTTING THE PRESSURE ON BIDEN FOR AFGHANISTAN
I joined Jody Hice and 10 of my fellow Republicans in demanding that the U.S. Department of State and Office of Management and Budget speed up the process of evacuating all the remaining Americans and our Afghan allies that the Biden regime abandoned in Afghanistan. Biden and his cohorts have already failed these people once by allowing them to be trapped, and I will not let Bidenfail them again. The State Department has been dragging its feet to rescuethe people it is their duty to save, but my colleagues and I are lighting a fire under them to bring all Americans home by any means necessary.
And, as I mentioned in my last newsletter, I filed Articles of Impeachment against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for their dereliction of duty that left innocent men and women dead, including thirteen of our brave service members.
BULLET POINTS WITH LAUREN BOEBERT: EPISODE 2
BOEBERT BLAST
Fox News, Lauren Boebert knocks Pelosi's attempt to sell Biden agenda
“Does Fancy Nancy want the media to sell taxpayer dollars paying for the college education of millionaire families to Ivy League colleges? $200 million dollars to Nancy Pelosi's favorite park, the Presidio amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. Yeah. A more intrusive IRS scanning through your financial transactions. This bill is crap.”
“While your family is personally benefiting from the exact kind of propaganda these parents are protesting, you are using your immense power as Attorney General to stifle their First Amendment rights. While your actions are unconstitutional, you should have recused yourself from this matter given the clear conflict of interest.”
Independent Journal Review, Lauren Boebert Blasts Pelosi for Telling the Media They Could 'Do a Better Job' Selling Biden's Spending Plan
“Boebert said she is waiting for Pelosi to ‘start recruiting timeshare salesmen to start passing her legislation.’”
Law Enforcement Today, Rep. Lauren Boebert writes AG Garland, demands data backing his memo on “threats of violence” by parents protesting CRT
“Boebert addressed the ‘elephant in the room,’ namely Garland’s family connection to Panorama Education, which is heavily involved in the pushing of critical race theory in America’s classrooms. Garland’s son-in-law, Xan Tanner is the owner of Panorama, therefore Garland’s family financially benefits from the pushing of critical race theory and other ‘equity’ programs in America’s schools."
