“The CCP and its affiliates stop at nothing to surveil, intimidate, and threaten people they do not like. This year alone, the CCP has sent the spy balloon to spy on our military, operated secret police stations inside the United States, and now this major cyberattack on the U.S. government has been revealed. All this evidence shows why it would be a bad idea to allow the subsidiary of a company that pledges allegiance to the CCP to build and operate a factory in Mecosta County,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

Line 5 is a vital source of energy for Michigan families who rely on propane for home energy. On his first day in office, President Biden shut down construction of an international pipeline and ended new drilling leases on federal land. The provision I included in today’s legislation will ensure the Biden Administration cannot shutdown an international pipeline that Michigan families depend on for home energy” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

“With the Biden administration issuing this new travel warning, you have to wonder why state and local officials continue to advocate for a deal with a subsidiary of CCP-affiliated Gotion High Tech in Mecosta County. This is another example of how the CCP is not a reliable business partner,” added Moolenaar.

“This ruling is a win for the Constitution and the rule of law. The Constitution is very clear that no federal funding can be used unless Congress passes a law allowing it to happen. The Supreme Court has rightfully stopped President Biden from spending billions of dollars with no legal authority to do so. College administrators must do more to bring down the cost of college and provide value to the students who enroll in their schools,” said Congressman John Moolenaar.

"We cannot allow the recipients of taxpayer dollars to receive grants for battery research and then turn around and work with China-based companies. Our country is in a competition against the Chinese Communist Party and we must have guardrails that protect our research dollars, our intellectual property, and the innovation funded by hardworking men and women who pay taxes. Companies like Gotion, which is based in China, have no business receiving federal funding," said Moolenaar.

"When our country moved from typewriters to personal computers, we did not need rules from the executive branch forcing typewriters from the market. Yet, the Department of Energy has proposed regulations on washing machines that would push affordable options for Michigan families out of the market while making it harder to wash clothes," said Moolenaar. "My amendment is a win for clean clothes, consumer choice, and stopping another burdensome regulation from the Biden administration.”

“As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, I voted to move this funding forward because it will help Michigan communities and residents.

"President Biden's overreaching policies are targeting the gas stoves thousands of Michigan residents rely on and like having in their homes. His administration should abandon its rulemaking and let Americans choose the stoves that are best for them and where they live. President Biden’s energy policies have hurt our country and made energy more expensive. That is why I voted to stop him from banning new gas stoves," said Moolenaar.

"Paul Whelan, a former Marine, has been unjustly imprisoned for more than four years and it is time for him to be released and reunited with his family. All of us in Michigan are heartbroken that he continues to be held captive by Vladimir Putin's corrupt government," said Moolenaar.
