Conservatives and people of faith need to “engage with companies” to prevent them from being wholly taken over by a left-wing political agenda. The left is successful at being the tail that wags the corporate dog because of engagement – not disengagement… Engagement is the way to succeed in this battle.  In this We the People video, Justin explains that the left manipulates the “environment, social and governance” (ESG) process to exert influence over corporate America.

Social justice warriors (SJWs) insist that corporate America should get woke because “the millennials demand it” and that corporations that don’t fall in line will lose the younger generations forever.  That’s ridiculous.  When kids are young and naive, they lean left; the more they learn, the further right they drift.  Even the boomers, who started as hippies, became yuppies in their 30s.  Corporations that kowtow to the whims of the younger generation will come to regret it.

The Department of Labor has finalized and released a new rule on tax-qualified retirement plans governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) in order to codify the extent to which Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations factor into investment decisions. Thank you to those of you who joined with the Free Enterprise Project in supporting the passage of this rule.

Left-wing shareholder activists are pushing gullible corporations to set radical “climate policy” for themselves, including zero-carbon requirements that may be impossible to achieve, unnecessary, or worse for the environment than natural gas, and that will cost exorbitant amounts of money.  This is stupid and may be illegal.
