               NEWSLETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN CHUCK EDWARDS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHUCK EDWARDS

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 4, 2025

  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record the following 
newsletter to give an update to my constituents on the SAVE Act, No 
Rogue Rulings Act, and reforming U.S. foreign assistance.

       Dear Friend, The right to vote in American elections is a 
     right reserved for American citizens, not illegal immigrants.
       I recently voted for the House-passed SAVE Act to ensure 
     election integrity and safeguard our democratic process. The 
     SAVE Act would:
       Require in-person proof of U.S. citizenship when 
     individuals register to vote in federal elections.
       Allow more than six types of identification to prove U.S. 
     citizenship.
       Require states to remove non-citizens from existing voter 
     rolls and give them the tools to do so.
       Ensuring that only American citizens vote in our elections 
     is common sense, yet 228 Members on the other side of the 
     aisle voted to leave our elections vulnerable to fraud and 
     abuse. Their excuse is that this bill prevents married women 
     from voting, when the reality is that this bill gets ahead of 
     any potential barriers to voting by providing six options of 
     identification to prove U.S. citizenship.
       To make it clear: This bill will not prevent married women 
     from voting, but it will prevent illegal aliens and foreign 
     influence from permeating our electoral system.
       Thus, it's a fair question to ask--why are they opposed to 
     securing our elections?
       Upholding the Constitution's system of checks and balances:
       Radical district judges are overstepping their authority 
     and blocking President Trump's lawful executive powers by 
     unilaterally imposing rulings that affect the entire nation.
       This unchecked judicial overreach is a breach of our 
     Constitution's system of checks and balances, and the House 
     took action to restore balance to our judicial system by 
     passing the No Rogue Rulings Act with my support.
       This bill will stop judicial overreach, especially when 
     individual district judges block executive policies. Activist 
     federal judges are undermining the constitutional separation 
     of powers and the will of the American people, and it's time 
     to restore judicial integrity to our federal government.
       U.S. foreign assistance should not be funding overseas 
     abortions:
       The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief 
     (PEPFAR) is a program that has been successfully combating 
     HIV/AIDS.
       Yet, during President Biden's term in office, he chose to 
     use tax dollars in a way that Congress had not authorized by 
     redirecting funds that were meant for saving lives to instead 
     perform abortions.
       Congress must strengthen guardrails around program fundings 
     to prevent such abuse of taxpayer money. As a member of the 
     House Appropriations Committee, I will continue to call out 
     and demand necessary reforms to stop the misuse of funds and 
     make sure that our policies are standing up for, not 
     destroying, innocent life.
       Standing up for faith, family, and freedom:
       It was an honor to receive the Family Research Council 
     Action's One Hundred Percent Award for my commitment to 
     supporting policies that protect the rights to faith, family, 
     and freedom, I will continue to stand for the rights of the 
     most vulnerable and the values that we hold dear and make our 
     country great.
           With my warmest regards,
                                                    Chuck Edwards,
     Member of Congress.
