Stopping the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Regulation

Senator Mike Lee has proposed an amendment that would defund President Obama’s overreaching and coercive Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regulation. The amendment is expected to reach the Senate floor this week. Link

AFFH allows unaccountable federal bureaucrats to take charge of your local government. It’s not too strong to say that over the long term, AFFH spells the effective end of local government in America and a shift to a federally controlled “regionalist” system instead.

"UPDATE: The left is lobbying hard against the Lee Amendment. AFFH supporters are trying to persuade Senators that defunding Obama’s new rule, which federalizes the core functions of local government and turns localities into helpless satellites of nearby megacities, is nothing but a bit of new guidance showing them how to fulfill their existing obligations under the Fair Housing Act of 1968. They are even claiming that the Lee Amendment would gut the 1968 Act". 

Of course this is just BS as the Fair Housing Act was not "gutted" before this proposed regulation. It has worked fine for the last 50 years.

Now is the time to contact Senators Cornyn and Cruz to tell them to support Senator Lee's amendment! The overreach of the Obama administration needs to stop NOW!
