State Capitol
Salt Lake City, UT 84111
Dear Senators,
On behalf of the 13,618 members and supporters of the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) in Utah, I urge you to oppose HB 252. This deeply damaging legislation that has passed the House would impose cripplingly high taxes on innovative vapor products and wreck tobacco harm reduction efforts in Utah.

The Green New Deal and its associated hyperbole have commanded most of the recent attention that is paid to energy policy.

Dear Senator,
It is our understanding you will soon hear House Bill 267 in committee. On behalf of the 13,617 members of the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) in Utah, I urge you to oppose this legislation, which would direct the Department of Health to develop a program to import prescription drugs from Canada. HB 267 is wasteful and unnecessary and will not result in lower drug costs for patients.

Tallahassee, FL 32399
Dear Legislators,
On behalf of the 214,252 members and supporters of the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) in Florida, I ask you to oppose HB 19, which would establish a Canadian Drug Importation Program and eventually an international importation program from specific countries.

In 2015, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio asked his wife, First Lady Chirlane McCray, to lead an effort to tackle mental health challenges in the city. Called ThriveNYC, it purported to offer a “roadmap for mental health for all.” Yet records show Ms. McCray failed to keep track of how her program spent its money.

Dear Senators,
On behalf of the 39,732 members of the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) in Georgia, I write to express our support for efforts to encourage further broadband deployment by removing unnecessary barriers, reducing the cost of investment, and providing predictability to this vital sector of the economy. Legislators should strike the right balance between allowing new entrants into the market and protecting consumers.

House Finance Committee
Washington State Capitol
Olympia, WA 98504
Dear Committee Members,
On behalf of the 49,639 members of the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) in Washington, I urge you to oppose House Bill 1873. This harmful legislation would expand the definition of “tobacco products” to include vapor products that do not contain tobacco. Defining as a tobacco product something that does not contain tobacco makes no sense as a matter of public policy and would represent serious governmental overreach.

Dear Secretary Chao,
We, the undersigned organizations, representing millions of taxpayers nationwide, appreciate your leadership and support your efforts to de-obligate $929 million in federal grants not yet paid to the state of California for its high-speed rail project and explore every legal option to get back an additional $2.5 billion in funds already allocated to the state for this purpose.
