119-hres-748119th Congress

Condemning attempts to use Federal regulatory power or litigation to suppress lawful speech, particularly speech critical of a political party or the President of the United States, and warning against the rise of authoritarianism.

Sponsored By: Representative Ansari, Yassamin [D-AZ-3]

Introduced

Summary

Protecting lawful free speech from government or regulatory intimidation is the core aim of this resolution. It would condemn using federal agencies, including the Federal Communications Commission, or the threat or filing of lawsuits to suppress speech critical of any political party or the President and warn that those practices mirror authoritarian tactics, reaffirm the First Amendment and freedom of the press, call on public officials to stop pressuring media or individuals, urge the Department of Justice, the FCC, and other agencies to ensure their policies safeguard free expression, and affirm that a vibrant, independent media and the ability to criticize government are essential to preserving democratic governance.
