Your constituents are calling on you to stand against this dangerous agenda by supporting H.Res. 1386 and joining your colleagues in Congress in opposition of the policies of Project 2025.

Project 2025 is an unprecedented and dangerous takeover by MAGA Republicans and wealthy billionaire donors that rolls back Americans’ rights and freedoms, threatens our democracy, and hurts the middle class. Many of Project 2025 policies have already been embraced by Representative Bacon.
Subjects
Project 2025
Rep. Bacon's Record
Removing insurance protections for people with pre-existing conditions
Project 2025 would separate the subsidized Affordable Care Act exchange from the non-subsidized insurance marketplace, and in doing so give “the non-subsidized market regulatory relief from the costly ACA regulatory mandates”–which likely includes prohibitions on charging more to insure individuals with pre-existing conditions. (Page 470)
Raising the cost of prescription medication
Project 2025 proposes the repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act, which caps monthly out-of-pocket insulin costs for Medicare beneficiaries at $35 per month, and specifically calls to stop Medicare from negotiating lower drug prices. (Page 465)
Rep. Bacon is a member of the Republican Study Committee, whose budget proposal would end Medicare’s ability to negotiate drug prices and lift the caps on monthly insulin costs and out-of-pocket drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries. Rep. Bacon also voted against the Inflation Reduction Act.
Banning abortion medication and putting IVF at risk nationwide
Rep. Bacon is a member of the Republican Study Committee, whose budget endorses the Life at Conception Act, which would outlaw abortion from the moment of conception and puts IVF at risk. Rep. Bacon has also cosponsored previous iterations of the Life at Conception Act.
Putting corporate interests over consumers
Weakening labor unions
Project 2025 would gut The National Labor Relations Board, which would help anti-union employers undermine unionization efforts and make it easier for businesses to illegally fire workers. (Page 591)
Rep. Bacon is a member of the Republican Study Committee, whose budget proposes eliminating the National Labor Relations Board.
Allowing the wealthy and corporations to more easily cheat on their taxes
Project 2025 would repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, which provided funding for the IRS to take action against wealthy and corporate tax cheats. The IRS has already collected $1 billion of unpaid taxes from the wealthy due to this funding. (Page 365; Page 699)
Making it harder for low-income households to afford nutritious food
Privatizing Medicare, worsening health outcomes
Project 2025 would make Medicare Advantage the default enrollment option and push people towards private Medicare plans that worsen health outcomes. (Page 465)
Rep. Bacon is a member of the Republican Study Committee, whose budget would transition Medicare to a “Premium Support Model” subsidizing private Medicare Advantage plans.
Allowing oil and gas drilling on public lands
Project 2025 would push the Department of the Interior to allow oil and natural gas lease sales “to the maximum extent permitted,” would allow fossil fuel companies to drill on more public lands and waters, undoing progress made by the current administration to decrease this harmful practice. (Page 523)
Cutting Medicaid benefits
Project 2025 says CMS should “add work requirements” to Medicaid and tell states they “have the ability to adopt work incentives for able-bodied individuals” for Medicaid. (Page 468)
Rep. Bacon voted for the Default on America Act, which included harsh new work requirements for Medicaid beneficiaries.
Giving huge tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations
Project 2025 proposes implementing just two income tax brackets, which would raise taxes on Americans in the current lower brackets and lower taxes on Americans in the upper brackets. Project 2025 would repeal the corporate minimum tax and lower the corporate tax rate from 21% to 18% – resulting in a $500 billion tax cut for corporations and the lowest corporate tax rate in 80 years. (Page 696)
Rep. Bacon voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which gave massive tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations and “helped billionaires pay a lower rate than the working class for the first time in history,” and he supports legislation to make these tax cuts for the wealthy permanent. Bacon voted against establishing a 15% minimum tax on corporations, and he is a member of the Republican Study Committee, whose budget endorses repealing that corporate minimum tax.
Raising home energy costs
Project 2025 would eliminate energy efficiency standards for appliances, which would raise costs for consumers, businesses, and renters and hurt American manufacturing. (Page 378)
