By Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) July 9, 2020 https://fxn.ws/2ZVNBlN Over the past month, we’ve seen radical progressives attack our nation. Legitimate and peaceful protests have been hijacked by violent lawbreakers with the ultimate goal of total anarchy. Now we’re experiencing attacks on law enforcement, the destruction of presidential memorials and the establishment of so-called “autonomous zones.” Some of my Democratic colleagues have refused to condemn the lawlessness and riots that ha...

By Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) March 1, 2020 https://bit.ly/2vnzYAJ We never know when an accident or medical emergency will happen, but we do know that when you receive care you’ll likely receive a bill in the mail. But too often, properly insured patients go to a hospital or other health care provider and end up with costly, unexpected charges.

By Congressman Rick W. Allen (GA-12) November 22, 2019 https://washex.am/34cuk0m Over the past year, clean energy has become a hot topic, dominating news cycles and conversations around the country.
