On April 20, 2023, the U.S. House passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act by a vote of 219-203. And last week, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee also held hearings on transgender sports.
At least 21 states have passed legislation protecting girls’ sports in K-12 for biological girls, and more than 30 states have seen legislation introduced. Delegate Kathy Szeliga vows to introduce the Save Women’s Sports bill once again. Szeliga’s bill (2023 HB359) limits JV and Varsity high school sports teams to biological women.

- Where to find the contact info for your Delegates and Senators

You may watch the video, or sections of it, over and over again to get a firm grasp of the bill process and how to submit testimony for or against any bill. It is just over an hour long.

Urge Your Representatives to Sponsor the Keep Nine Amendment
Ask your Representative and Senators to sign on as a co-sponsor of the Keep Nine
Representative Dusty Johnson) (SD) and Senator Ted Cruz (TX) will be re-introducing the Constitutional Amendment to set the U.S. Supreme Court at nine members. KeepNine.org
NFRW President Eileen Sobjack voiced her support of this long-standing Federation priority, saying: “The National Federation of Republican Women, representing 65,000 grass-roots women across the country, strongly supports the Keep Nine Amendment. No Party should be allowed to tip the balance of power to its advantage by increasing the size of the U.S. Supreme Court. Americans have long recognized court-packing as a dangerous manipulation that would undermine confidence in the fairness and impartiality of the Court and upset the essential checks and balances that protect our liberties.”
The threat of court-packing is real. In the 117th Congress, Democrats, led by Senator Ed Markey and Representative Jerry Nadler, introduced a bill to expand the court to 13 justices to “right the wrongs” of a conservative-leaning court. This bill would give President Biden the power to appoint four liberal justices with a Democrat-controlled Senate.
Please ask your Representative to sign on as a co-sponsor of the Keep the Nine Amendment
(co-sponsors should contact Sydney Powers with Rep. Johnson at Sydney.Powers@mail.house.gov).
Please ask your Senators to sign on as a co-sponsor of the Keep Nine Amendment
(co-sponsors should contact Chris Jaarda with Sen. Cruz at Chris_Jaarda@cruz.senate.gov
