Moolenaar Votes for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act

May 13, 2015

Today, John Moolenaar (R-MI) voted in support of H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, to prohibit the abortion of unborn babies after 20 weeks of pregnancy. A child in a mother’s womb is a blessing. This legislation protects the most vulnerable and dependent people in our country against a tragic end, and demands that we all work harder to prepare safe outcomes for the lives of expectant mothers and their unborn children.

This is the first ten-year balanced budget passed since 2001. It balances without raising taxes on hardworking Michigan families and it keeps the promises that have been made to seniors in the Fourth District. This budget also calls for tax reform. The tax code is 74,000 pages long and has not been overhauled in 29 years. It’s time for a simpler and fairer system.

Moolenaar Votes to Repeal the Death Tax

April 16, 2015

Press Release

For many in Michigan’s Fourth Congressional District, the American Dream is to build a family farm or business and pass it on to their sons and daughters. Repealing the Death Tax makes it easier for Americans to realize that dream. The Death Tax often forces family farms to sell land and equipment to pay their tax bill. This is unacceptable. Death should never be a taxable event.
