Dear House and Senate GOP Colleagues:

We were elected to deliver what we promised the American people, not to campaign for re-election. Delivering on decisive policy mandates is the best way to grow a majority. We've demonstrated that we are capable of delivering on those transformative policies - as we did in the Laken Riley/SUE Act, and certain parts of the OBBB. However, we simply have not done enough - failing to codify border security, pause immigration and define birthright citizenship, protect citizens from warrantless surveillance, ban congressional stock trading, Make America Healthy Again, and countless other issues.

With the same resolve that led to historic tax cuts, the elimination of half the Green New Deal scam subsidies, spending reductions, welfare reforms, and other policy victories in the OBBB, we must deliver in the remaining six months of this Congress. Let's finish the job:

1. Codify Permanently Trump Border Security Policies & PAUSE Legal Immigration:
   1. Codify Border Security:
      1. Pass the policies reflected in H.R. 2 from the 118^th Congress that end abuses of asylum, parole, and "catch-and-release" policies that enabled the Biden Border Crisis.

      2. Fix the isolation of CBP and ICE Funding (with Reconciliation 2 funding, we leave these two isolated from appropriations, which is a long-term mistake).

   2. End the Magnets:
      1. Codify the end of Free Healthcare, Education (Plyler v. Doe), and other taxpayer-subsidized public benefits for illegal aliens.
      2. Defund sanctuary jurisdictions and impose strong penalties on those who flout federal immigration law.
      3. Hike remittance fees significantly for illegal aliens (1% from OBBB is absurdly low. It should be at least 25%).

      4. Take the Supreme Court head on - end Birthright Citizenship for the children of illegal aliens and non-citizen foreign nationals.

   3. Reduce and Reform Legal Immigration:
      1. Pass the PAUSE Act - We should pause all immigration until we have a handle on our population and the MANY abuses of the system.
      2. Halt the Islamic Invasion (MAMDANI, IMAM, Sharia-Free America Acts).
      3. Pause H-1B visas and repeal or overhaul the visa program.
      4. Firmly end Diversity Visa Lottery program and Chain Migration.

      5. Expand De-Naturalization powers.

2. Enact (Senate) the SAVE America Act and Other Election Integrity Reforms.

1. Fight the Rise of Sharia Law and the Council on American-Islamic Relations:

   3. Codify President Trump's executive order designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.
   4. Ban entry of - and remove - foreign nationals who adhere to Sharia Law.

   5. Designate CAIR as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist organization, cutting off its financial streams and repeal its 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.

2. Deliver Energy Freedom - kill corporate cronyism, grift, and regulations:
   1. Kill ALL subsidies to Unreliable & Expensive "Green Scam" Energy: Close loopholes & phase out EXISTING subsidies, including preventing the indirect subsidization of unreliable green energy projects in the form of transmission line subsidies.
   2. End The Renewable Fuel Standard which cripples American refinery production.
   3. Rapidly develop nuclear power.
   4. Pass strong permitting reform.

1. Protect Americans from Warrantless Surveillance and Government (& Corporate) Use of Technology to Target and Spy on Americans:
   1. Ensure warrant protections - among other protections - for American citizens targeted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
   2. Ban government control of American citizen spending by banning any "Central Bank Digital Currency"
   3. Ban government & corporate surveillance in your cars by killing the so-called "Kill Switch" set to go live in 2027 that will also make cars less affordable.

   4. Ban funding of Flock Cameras and other government surveillance tools.

2. Ban Congressional Stock Trading:
   1. Pass the Restore Trust in Congress Act or an equivalent bill to prevent sitting Members of Congress (and consider the Executive and Judicial Branches as well) from stock trading.

   2. Stop Subsidizing Sugar Drinks, Junk Food, and other harmful products.
   3. Protect Americans from Poisons in Food, Air, Water.

1. Protect American Land & Housing from Foreign Ownership & Corporate Exploitation.
   1. Ban foreign adversaries from purchasing American land - Focusing first on banning foreign purchases of American agricultural land, housing stock, and land near US military bases.
   2. Prevent government housing subsidization that incentivizes big ugly corporate housing exploitation and enact market reforms to empower American homeownership and multigenerational households.

   3. Codify the 'Mixed-Status' rule to end prorated housing assistance to illegal alien households and end housing block grants to sanctuary jurisdictions.

2. Reduce the Deficits and Debt - Take additional significant steps (beyond the OBBB) to cut spending including reducing so-called mandatory spending:
   1. Continue to reduce or hold Discretionary Spending flat.
   2. Eliminate Programs Plagued by Fraud and Reform to Eliminate Fraud.
   3. Ensure Any Reconciliation Package is ACTUALLY deficit reducing.

      3. Defund and Limit Mifepristone which continues to kill hundreds of thousands of babies.

   2. Protect Children from Online Abuses and AI (and Protect Against Federal Preemption of State Laws on AI and Online Dangers to Children).

1. Cut Funding From / Impeach Radical Ideologue Judges Abusing Their Offices:
   1. Judges who release career criminals, engage in political bias, submit to radical gender ideology, and authorize illegal spying on the American people must be impeached and have their benches defunded.
      1. Radical ideologues plague our federal court system resulting in weaponized rulings that undermine blind justice and thwart the political will of the people.

1. Eliminate Barriers to Gun Ownership and Use (NFA, Constitutional Carry).

Pass a Constitutional Amendment for Term Limits to ensure Members cannot remain in Congress indefinitely, limiting complacency among elected representatives, allowing constituents to be better served by their representatives.

Respectfully,

Chip Roy
