    The Congressional Progressive Caucus Co-Chairs, Mark Pocan (D-WI) and Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), joined constitutional authorities, activists, and other CPC leaders in applauding Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Chris Murphy (D-CT) for their introduction of S.J. Res. 54 to end the illegal U.S. war alongside Saudi Arabia against Yemen’s Houthis. The Senators’ joint resolution closely parallels bipartisan House resolution H. Con. Res. 81, introduced in September 2017 by CPC Vice Chair Ro Khanna, CPC Co-Chair Mark Pocan, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Walter B. Jones (R-NC). H. Con. Res. 81, which invokes the War Powers Resolution of 1973 to remove U.S. forces from unauthorized hostilities, was co-sponsored by 38 CPC Members and was endorsed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus: “By allowing endless, unauthorized wars, Congress has abdicated its responsibility to uphold the Constitution. In the face of what is currently the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, triggered by our secretive, illegal war in Yemen waged alongside the Saudi regime, we welcome the resolution introduced by Congressional Progressive Caucus founding member, Senator Bernie Sanders, and Republican Senator Mike Lee, to remove U.S. forces from that senseless conflict. We strongly urge our Senate colleagues to co-sponsor and vote in support of the Sanders-Lee resolution. For progressives who recognize the unique threat to peace posed by the current president and the far- reaching authorities he has seized, nothing is more urgent than working across the aisle to reassert Congress’s constitutional powers and rein in an out-of-control executive branch.” —Congressmen Mark Pocan (D-WI) and Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Co-chairs of the Congressional Progressive Caucus “Our nation’s military involvement in Yemen, the worst humanitarian crisis in our modern world, is unconstitutional and unauthorized.

  • 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.

    April 2, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives H-232, United States Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi: We are grateful for your tireless work to address the needs of all Americans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for your understanding of the tremendous burdens that have been borne by localities as they work to respond to this crisis and keep their populations safe. However, we are concerned that the COVID-19 relief packages considered thus far have not provided direct funding to stabilize smaller counties, cities, and towns—specifically, those with populations under 500,000. As such, we urge you to include direct stabilization funding to such localities in the next COVID-19 response bill, or to lower the threshold for direct funding through the Coronavirus Relief Fund to localities with smaller populations. Many of us represent districts containing no or few localities with populations above 500,000. Like their larger neighbors, though, these smaller counties, cities, and towns have faced enormous costs while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. These costs include deploying timely public service announcements to keep Americans informed, rapidly activating emergency operations, readying employees for telework to keep services running, and more. This work is essential to keeping our constituents safe and mitigating the spread of the coronavirus as effectively as possible. We fear that, without targeted stabilization funding, smaller localities will be unable to continue providing these critical services to our constituents at the rate they are currently. We applaud you for including a $200 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund as part of H.R.

  • A Bipartisan Letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi And
    May 28, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: Thank you for your swift action and continuing efforts as we grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (PL 116-136) provided our physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists with much-needed and meaningful aid to continue patient care operations during this pandemic, the effects of which could be felt for years. However, while Congress is diligently working to protect these important medical practices, they are being targeted for a sizeable cut that is slated to be finalized within the next few weeks. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) final CY2020 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule rule published in November 2019 proposed increased rates for the office-based evaluation and management (E/M) code set in CY2021. Due to the requirement for budget neutrality, this would result in a projected eight percent cut for therapy services beginning on January 1, 2021. If these cuts are allowed to go into effect, they will be devasting and will limit access to care for patients, including seniors, who rely on these services. Ultimately, these cuts will force physical and occupational clinics to close, resulting in thousands of qualified professional clinicians, especially those in rural and urban areas in our districts, to lose their jobs.

  • Legendary American Rock Band Chicago to Perform Live with Charlotte Symphony One Night Only: 8 Pm Sat, Sept 21 at Belk Theater
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jamie Wolf, 704-714-5112 or [email protected] LEGENDARY AMERICAN ROCK BAND CHICAGO TO PERFORM LIVE WITH CHARLOTTE SYMPHONY ONE NIGHT ONLY: 8 PM SAT, SEPT 21 AT BELK THEATER August 21, 2013 | CHARLOTTE, NC - Chicago—one of the most successful rock groups in history—is bringing its powerful live show to open the Charlotte Symphony's Pops Series this fall. From the signature sound of the Chicago horns, their iconic vocalists and a few dozen ever-classic songs, this band’s concerts are celebrations! The band line-up includes original Chicago members Robert Lamm on keyboards and vocals, Lee Loughnane on trumpet, James Pankow on trombone and Walt Parazaider on woodwinds. Other members are Jason Scheff on bass and vocals, drummer Tris Imboden, guitarist Keith Howla, Lou Pardini on keyboards and vocals and Wally Reyes on percussion. Symphony-goers may find this interesting: original member Parazaider, a De Paul University graduate, was offered a spot with the Chicago Symphony in the early years but opted to stick with the band instead. The “legendary rock and roll band with horns,” Chicago is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums in six consecutive decades. In Billboard Magazine's list of Top 100 artists of all time, Chicago came in at #13, the highest charting American band, having produced an incredible 47 gold and platinum records. Most recently, in March of 2013, Chicago’s multi-platinum two-disc bestseller, The Very Best Of Chicago, Only The Beginning charted at #1 on two Billboard charts: the Catalog Chart and the Digital Catalog chart.

    June 10, 2021 Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu Assembly Speaker Robin Vos Room 211 South Room 217 West State Capitol State Capitol PO Box 7882 PO Box 8953 Madison, WI 53707 Madison, WI 53708 Dear Senate Majority Leader LeMahieu and Speaker Vos: We are deeply concerned that the fiscal years 2021-2023 biennial budget currently under consideration by the Joint Finance Committee will render Wisconsin ineligible for more than two billion dollars in federal funding for our K-12 schools. This funding is critical to allow our schools to safely reopen and to address the significant disruptions to learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the strongest possible terms, we urge you to pass a budget that maintains the state’s historical investments in education, so that Wisconsin schools receive the relief they deserve. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress has authorized significant federal funding to help K-12 schools respond to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Most recently, the federal government made over $1.5 billion available to Wisconsin schools through the American Rescue Plan. This funding is critical to help our schools recover from the pandemic and to ensure our students and teachers can safely return to in-person learning. To access these funds, states must meet a maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement to ensure that federal funds do not replace existing state investments in education, but rather meet the new education needs created by the pandemic. Our state legislature must step up and ensure Wisconsin can take full advantage of these funds.
