Fred Keller (R-PA) told<em> Breitbart News Saturday<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re working to undo the illegal mandates for vaccines by Joe Biden. [It\u2019s] clearly an overreach of authority to have OSHA, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, come to private employers and dictate to them whether or not their employees have to be vaccinated to have a job,\u201d Keller said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIn America, we have personal liberties and freedoms, and this is an overreach. And what we\u2019re doing is we\u2019re working to strike down that mandate and we know we\u2019re on the right path,\u201d he said, noting the stay placed on the rule after a flurry of legal challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Keller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/17\/over-160-republican-lawmakers-rally-behind-resolution-nullify-bidens-vaccine-mandate\/\">introduced<\/a> the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution last week, and at the time of its introduction, it had over 160 GOP members supporting it.&nbsp;Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/04\/sen-mike-braun-plans-use-congressional-review-act-nullify-biden-vaccine-mandate\/\">introduced<\/a> a companion bill in the Senate, which has the support of all 50 Republican senators.<\/p>\n<p>The Pennsylvania Republican explained the process of CRA, noting it must be passed by both chambers and land on the president\u2019s desk.&nbsp;Keller said they want to bring it up for a vote and send it to Biden \u201cbecause what it will say, it will say, if there\u2019s a member of Congress who does not support this, you\u2019re basically saying you\u2019re with authoritarian rule [and] taking away people\u2019s personal rights and liberties.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAnd if you sign on with it and join us, in striking down this mandate with the Congressional Review Act, you\u2019re standing with the American people in making sure that the government doesn\u2019t become too big and take your rights and liberties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Keller said they are \u201cpushing to do everything we can to get this out of the Senate and House and, quite frankly, get the president to veto it. This is where it\u2019s at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mere days after introducing the resolution, a 218 majority in the House is in sight for Keller and the GOP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnybody that doesn\u2019t sign on to it can\u2019t claim to want to protect your liberties and freedoms. We took an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States, which guarantees us rights. It tells us we limit the power to the government, we the people, not the other way around,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This particularly applies to a vaccine mandate \u201cof telling people what they have to do to keep a job or get a job,\u201d he said. It is \u201cclearly\u201d illegal and \u201cshould not be done at all,\u201d he added, noting there are Democrats in districts that will not put up with this. He warned that they better join Republicans in trying to repeal the mandate.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>When asked if he would try to attach the measure to other legislation, Keller said their goal \u201cis to gain that support simply by saying this is how clear this case is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou either stand with the overreach of power from an executive, or you stand with the freedom and liberties and the American people. That\u2019s the difference between supporting this and not supporting this,\u201d he said, adding that he is optimistic that they can have all Republicans \u201cat least\u201d on board next week. Then, they will work with Democrats.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><em><strong>LISTEN:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>This is all part of the broader effort to strike down the OSHA rule, which has been challenged in court. The CRA is great, Keller said, because \u201cif you strike down any regulation with the Congressional Review Act, they can\u2019t bring it up again.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt forbids them from making the regulation again in the future by any other administration\u201d because it has the force of the law, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the president would have the audacity to veto it, I would hope we have enough members of Congress to say you don\u2019t have that authority and we\u2019d override a veto,\u201d Keller said.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what negative consequences there would be if the OSHA rule went into effect, Keller said the \u201cmost important thing\u201d is it taking away people\u2019s fundamental liberties. He also said the mandate defies logic with an \u201carbitrary limit of 100 employees, whether they work at one location or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it will make it more difficult for businesses to expand \u2014 particular those that are on the cusp of 100 employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re going to rethink,\u201d any moves, he warned, adding that others will just retire early, resulting in more people leaving the job market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last thing we need is more mandates, more government intrusion. It\u2019s hard enough to get employees right now. We do not need to be competing with the government or their mandates making it harder for us to attract and retain our employees,\u201d he said, adding that President Biden is \u201cso out of touch with what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unlike leaders in Washington, DC, including President Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Keller said he knows what it is like to work in a factory and run a business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re people that have been in Washington, DC, far too long \u2026 they\u2019re so out of touch. They\u2019re not working class people. They\u2019re not people who are in touch with the values and work ethic of the American people,\u201d he told <em>Breitbart News Saturday<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Keller added that Americans can help by talking to their friends and family members and calling their representatives, demanding their support of the CRA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A stunning 195 House Republicans, as well as all 50 Republican senators, support a measure introduced this week to nullify President Biden\u2019s federal vaccine mandate, Rep.
