  • Calling on President Biden

    Calling on President Biden

    January 28, 2021 President Joseph R. Biden The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: As you begin your new administration pledging to foster unity and defend the truth, we respectfully ask you to reconsider your decision to discontinue the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance (PLGHA) policy. PLGHA prevents taxpayer-funded global health programs from financing foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that perform, actively promote, or lobby for abortion as a method of family planning. First established in 1984 by the Reagan Administration as the Mexico City Policy, this policy simply requires that foreign NGOs agree, as a condition of receiving federal funding, not to promote, lobby for, or perform abortion as a method of family planning. President Donald Trump reinstated and modernized this policy in 2017, applying it to all global health funds. PLGHA did not reduce the amount of federal funding available for global health and family planning programs by one cent. PLGHA represents common ground: it allows the United States to fund global health without using taxpayer dollars to subsidize the work of groups that perform, promote or lobby for abortion. Abortion is not health care. It is never safe for the child: abortion is a brutal procedure that ends the child’s life through suction, dismemberment or chemical poisoning. In addition, the child’s mother deserves better than the tragic, irreversible consequences of elective abortion. United States foreign assistance should be life-affirming: we can support the health of both women and unborn children by providing essential obstetric care, nutritional aid and other humanitarian assistance to persons in need.

    2020 Election Recap

    2020 Election Recap Below NACCHO summarizes election results and changes expected for 2021. Democrats will continue to lead the House of Representatives…but with a smaller majority. This means that many of the key committees for public health will continue to be chaired by the same members, with notable exceptions of the Appropriations Committee, where Chair Nita Lowey (D-NY) did not run for reelection; the Agriculture Committee, which has some jurisdiction around food safety and nutrition, whose Chair, Colin Peterson (D-MN) lost, as well as the Ranking Member for the Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Greg Walden, (R-OR) who did not run for reelection. After the 117th Congress convenes in January, internal leadership elections will determine who heads these and other committees. The following new Representatives and Senators are confirmed as of January 7. House of Representatives Note: All House of Representative seats were up for re-election. We list only those where a new member will be coming to Congress below. AL-1: Republican Jerry Carl beat Democrat James Averhart (open seat) Carl has served a member of the Mobile County Commission since 2012. He lists veterans’ health care and border security as policy priorities. Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-AL) vacated the seat to run for Senate.

    Coke, UPS, others freeze political donations after U.S. Capitol attack 1/13/21, 10:10 AM Coke, UPS, others freeze political donations after U.S. Capitol attack Matt Kempner Five of the 10 biggest publicly traded companies in Georgia say they have suspended political campaign giving in the wake of last week’s U.S. Capitol attacks. Coca-Cola, UPS, Aflac, PulteGroup and WestRock are pausing contributions after making donations in 2020 to Republican candidates who recently supported unsubstantiated claims about widespread voter fraud and tried to stymie results that showed President Donald Trump lost his bid for a second term. At least two dozen other major corporations nationally have temporarily halted political giving or decided to suspend making donations to elected officials who attempted to block the certification of Electoral College votes. Companies often make contributions through a PAC, or political action committee. Pausing all political giving, including to both Republicans and Democrats regardless of whether they fueled the post-election turmoil, is an easy move for corporations, said Bruce Freed, the president of the Center for Political Accountability, which tracks political spending. Candidates generally aren’t out asking for money so early in what is a brand new elections cycle. “It’s an initial step. But the question is what do they do next year,” and later this year, Freed said. “It is a work in progress.” Coke, in a written statement this week, said it was “stunned by the unlawful https://www.ajc.com/ajcjobs/coke-ups-pulte-freeze-political-donations-after-us-capitol-attack/HMS5YUQ275BK3G2CI4NTETUBFQ/ Page 1 of 6 Coke, UPS, others freeze political donations after U.S.
