We appreciate the opportunity to provide recommendations for the fourth package and thank you in advance for your consideration of these priorities. Representing more than 107,000 registered dietitian nutritionists, nutrition and dietetic technicians, registered, and advanced-degree nutritionist researchers, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is the largest association of food and nutrition professionals in the United States and is committed to improving the nation’s health through food and nutrition across the lifecycle. The coronavirus has significantly changed the lives of all Americans. From social distancing measures and school closings, to food supply disruptions and loss of jobs, the pandemic has instigated an unprecedented economic situation. Congress has moved quickly to provide funding and flexibilities to communities to address the economic and safety challenges during the onset of the pandemic. Yet, more work is needed to manage the prolonged situation and subsequent recovery. More than 16 million people have applied for unemployment benefits since the beginning of the pandemic and that number is estimated to continue to rise, making it difficult for Americans to keep food on the table.

May 13, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232
May 13, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232 The Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Speaker Pelosi, In accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance released on May 13, 2021 we urge you to immediately return to normal voting procedures and end mandatory mask requirements in the House of Representatives. CDC guidance states fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting except where required by governmental or workplace mandate. It is time to update our own workplace regulations. Every member of Congress has had the opportunity to be vaccinated, and you have indicated about 75 percent have taken advantage of this opportunity. The United States Congress must serve as a model to show the country we can resume normal life through vaccination. Let’s follow the science and get back to work. Sincerely, Bob Gibbs Member of Congress Lisa McClain Nancy Mace Member of Congress Member of Congress Jeff Duncan Ashley Hinson Member of Congress Member of Congress Robert E. Latta Barry Moore Member of Congress Member of Congress Ann Wagner Lauren Boebert Member of Congress Member of Congress Dusty Johnson Guy Reschenthaler Member of Congress Member of Congress Larry Bucshon Ronny Jackson Member of Congress Member of Congress Austin Scott Dan Newhouse Member of Congress Member of Congress Ralph Norman Ted Budd Member of Congress Member of Congress Mike Bost Beth Van Duyne Member of Congress Member of Congress Cliff Bentz Barry Loudermilk Member of Congress Member of Congress Dan Bishop Russ Fulcher Member of Congress Member of Congress Brian Mast Louie Gohmert Member of Congress Member of Congress Troy Balderson Warren Davidson Member of Congress Member of Congress Mary Miller Jerry Carl Member of Congress Member of Congress Jody Hice Ken Buck Member of Congress Member of Congress Bruce Westerman James R.

Chapter 9 - Black Incumbents, White Districts: a Georgia Analysis
Voss Familiarity Doesn’t Breed Contempt 201 Chapter 9 - Black Incumbents, White Districts: A Georgia Analysis The civil rights community made a serious tactical blunder when the U.S. Supreme Court began striking down “racial gerrymanders” in the mid-1990s.1 Filled with dismay after watching majority- minority districts fall one by one at the Court’s hands, activists got carried away with their rhetoric, foretelling a doom destined not to descend. NAACP Legal Defense Fund attorney Theodore Shaw prophesied, for example, that minority members of Congress “eventually” would be able to “meet in the back seat of a taxi cab” (Charen 1996).2 Deval Patrick, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, went even further: he said the Shaw v. Reno line of court decisions portended “a return to all-white government” (Baltimore Sun 1996). Other activists borrowed ugly images from Southern history. U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney, whose Georgia district traded away heavily black precincts for much whiter Atlanta suburbs (Tucker 1995), threatened that African-American legislators would face “the same level of extinction” as they did after Reconstruction (Applebome 1994). Elaine Jones, head of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, summoned memories of lynchings; she said the Supreme Court was “closing the noose” on black legislators (Savage 1996). Not to be outdone, the Rev. Jesse Jackson reached beyond U.S. history for his metaphor–calling the rulings (in an oft-quoted line) “a kind of ethnic cleansing” (Tilove 1996). “The fact that 1996 looks more like 1896 every day cannot be ignored.” No matter how restrained, all implied an immediate and direct threat to congressional diversity.

August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

Capitol Insurrection at Center of Conservative Movement
Capitol Insurrection At Center Of Conservative Movement: At Least 43 Governors, Senators And Members Of Congress Have Ties To Groups That Planned January 6th Rally And Riots. SUMMARY: On January 6, 2021, a rally in support of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election “turned deadly” when thousands of people stormed the U.S. Capitol at Donald Trump’s urging. Even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who rarely broke with Trump, has explicitly said, “the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people.” These “other powerful people” include a vast array of conservative officials and Trump allies who perpetuated false claims of fraud in the 2020 election after enjoying critical support from the groups that fueled the Capitol riot. In fact, at least 43 current Governors or elected federal office holders have direct ties to the groups that helped plan the January 6th rally, along with at least 15 members of Donald Trump’s former administration. The links that these Trump-allied officials have to these groups are: Turning Point Action, an arm of right-wing Turning Point USA, claimed to send “80+ buses full of patriots” to the rally that led to the Capitol riot, claiming the event would be one of the most “consequential” in U.S. history. • The group spent over $1.5 million supporting Trump and his Georgia senate allies who claimed the election was fraudulent and supported efforts to overturn it. • The organization hosted Trump at an event where he claimed Democrats were trying to “rig the election,” which he said would be “the most corrupt election in the history of our country.” • At a Turning Point USA event, Rep.
