WASHINGTON – Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (Crossroads GPS) today released the statement below on passage of the Senate immigration bill. Please credit the statement to Steven Law, president and CEO of Crossroads GPS:

“Today’s vote is an important first step toward meaningful immigration reform, but it must not be the last.  Since Senate Democrats blocked crucial improvements to the bill, it will be up to the House to ensure the final bill takes a more balanced approach to reform.  We remain hopeful that Congress will pass bipartisan reform that strengthens America’s immigration system and puts our security and economy first.”

Crossroads GPS President Steven Law writes in today’s Wall Street Journal:

Congress’s role in corrupting the IRS must be investigated, and tough new penalties should be imposed on members of Congress who try to call in IRS drone strikes on perceived political enemies. Hatch Act restrictions on the ability of IRS employees to engage in politics—recently watered down by Congress—should be re-examined in light of the IRS’s politically aggressive union.

As an old political hand once told me, “There’s never just one cockroach.” The IRS scandal wasn’t the work of a few isolated employees. It was fostered by a culture that many powerful people in Washington helped create—and it will take time and hard-nosed action to eradicate it.

Crossroads GPS strongly supports and urges the House to pass H.R. 45, a bill that would repeal in full the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.

Crossroads GPS strongly supports full repeal of Obamacare because we believe that the harm to the nation’s economy and to the public health due to this legislation will be drastic and potentially irreversible.  Crossroads GPS has provided a detailed critique of the law, as well as a better way forward on health care policy, available here.  We argue that Congress must pursue real, market-based reforms that will lower health care costs, protect the doctor-patient relationship, and improve the quality of care for all.

 WASHINGTON – Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (Crossroads GPS) today released the statement below on Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget from Steven Law, president and CEO of Crossroads GPS:

“Our national debt has surged by $6 trillion to an astounding $16.7 trillion, or nearly $53,000 per citizen, during President Obama’s tenure, yet he continues to insist that the national debt is not a problem.

“The way forward is with the plan by Rep. Paul Ryan, which will balance the budget within 10 years without raising taxes.  Instead, it reforms our entitlement programs in a responsible way, and modestly limits the growth in overall spending.

“Meanwhile, liberals in the Senate led by Budget Committee Chair Patty Murray, have proposed a budget that would increase taxes by nearly $1 trillion and still never balance the budget. It is plain that the House understands the debt problem facing the nation, while the Senate is more interested in raising taxes.”
