H.R. 1158In CommitteeBipartisan

Freedom First Lend-Lease Act

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC-2)

Bill Summary

Reestablishes lend-lease authority for Ukraine's defense, modeled on the historic World War II Lend-Lease Act. Allows the United States to lend or lease defense equipment to Ukraine without the lengthy procurement process, enabling faster delivery of critical military supplies.

Why It Matters

Lend-lease allows the U.S. to deliver weapons to Ukraine at the speed of war rather than the speed of procurement. This bill revives a proven World War II-era tool that could be decisive in Ukraine's defense.

    Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP].
    
    I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 1158, the Freedom First Lend-Lease Act.
    
    Lend-lease helped defeat fascism in World War II by getting equipment to allies faster. H.R. 1158 reestablishes that authority for Ukraine, cutting through procurement delays to deliver critical defense supplies when they're needed most.
    
    Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 1158?
    
    Thank you.
