  • THE AMERICAN POWER All- Stars
    THE AMERICAN POWER All- Stars Scorecard & Voting Guide History About every two years, when Congress takes up an energy bill, the Big Oil Team and the Clean Energy Team go head to head on the floor of the U.S. Senate -- who will prevail and shape our nation’s energy policy? The final rosters for the two teams are now coming together, re- flecting Senators’ votes on energy and climate legislation. Senators earn their spot on the Big Oil Team by voting to maintain America’s ailing energy policy with its en- trenched big government subsidies for oil companies, lax oversight on safety and the environment for oil drilling, leases and permits for risky sources of oil, and appointments of regulators who have cozy relationships with the industry. Senators get onto the Clean Energy Team by voting for a new energy policy that will move Amer- ica away from our dangerous dependence on oil and other fossil fuels, and toward cleaner, safer sources of energy like wind, solar, geothermal, and sustainable biomass. This new direction holds the opportunity to make American power the energy technology of the future while creating jobs, strengthening our national security, and improving our environment. Introduction Lobbyists representing the two teams’ sponsors storm the halls of the Congress for months ahead of the votes to sway key players to vote for their side. The Big Oil Team’s sponsors, which include BP and the American Petroleum Institute (API), use their colossal spending power to hire sly K-Street lobbyists who make closed-door deals with lawmakers, sweetened with sizable campaign contribu- tions.

  • 7Th Annual National Voices of Medicare Summit and Senator Jay
    7th Annual National Voices of Medicare Summit and Senator Jay Rockefeller Lecture April 30, 2020 ________________ Center for Medicare Advocacy 1025 Connecticut Avenue, NW Suite 709 Washington, DC 20036 11 Ledgebrook Drive Mansfield, CT 06250 Advancing Access to Medicare and Health Care A Message from the Executive Director Dear Friends – As we prepared for this year’s Summit, we considered many possible changes and challenges we would have to take into account. We knew the annual Medicare enrollment period had been difficult for many, the new Medicare plan finder website was deficient, enrollment in Medicare Advantage was encouraged, while MA consumer protections were relaxed. We continued to hear from beneficiaries who could not obtain the Medicare-covered care they needed, particularly for longer-term and chronic conditions. Access problems for necessary home health and skilled nursing facility care were exacerbated by new Medicare payment systems. Meanwhile, the news was replete with debate about various approaches to “Medicare for all.” We wanted the Summit to shed light on what Medicare really is, now, and how it could best respond to the needs of current and future beneficiaries. What we never imagined was that we would not be able to meet at all. That became clear in mid-March, when the COVID crisis changed everything for everyone. So Plan B became Plan A. We adapted the in-person program to a “virtual” Summit and Rockefeller Lecture, and rearranged with presenters, sponsors, and participants. We are extremely grateful to everyone who helped us meet this unexpected challenge – to the speakers who agreed to continue in a web-based format, to presenters and awardees who agreed to postpone until we could be in-person again, to the sponsors and registrants who stuck with us, and to everyone at the Center and in the broader community who helped make this Virtual Summit possible.

Fully paying for new costs will strengthen the commitment to this national WILLIS GRADISON WILLIAM HOAGLAND priority. We stand ready to work with you to achieve this goal. JIM JONES LOU KERR It is a moral imperative that the United States takes care of its veterans.

Adding DAVE MCCURDY JAMES MCINTYRE, JR. new costs to the nation’s credit card by providing unlimited funds or designating costs as DAVID MINGE “emergency” would violate basic principles of fiscal responsibility and would MARNE OBERNAUER, JR. demonstrate to veterans that Congress is unwilling to make difficult choices to provide JUNE O’NEILL them the care they deserve.

  • Federal Elections 2004
    2004 ELECTION RESULTS The following four sections present the primary, runoff and general election results for the U.S. Presidential and U.S. Congressional elections held in 2004. The November 2004 general election (and Louisiana’s December 2004 runoff election) resulted in the election of the 109th Congress. The following is the party composition of the 109th Congress, as determined by the results of these elections: U.S. Senate Republicans: 55 Democrats: 44 Independents: 1 U.S. House of Representatives Republicans: 232 Democrats: 202 Independents: 1 Notes on Charts * Runoff election vote totals have been included with the primary election totals. (For the U.S. Senate, runoff elections were held in Georgia and South Carolina. For the U.S. House of Representatives, runoff elections were held in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and Texas.) For Louisiana, runoff election vote totals have been included with the general election totals. The following three situations account for blank spaces in the charts and should be considered when making comparisons or drawing conclusions about the vote totals. * In some states, i.e., Connecticut, Utah and Virginia, political parties may nominate general election candidates by party convention, rather than by primary election. * In some states, there were unopposed candidates whose names did not appear on a ballot and therefore received no votes. * 34 states had regularly scheduled U.S. Senate elections in 2004. 2004 PRESIDENTIAL POPULAR VOTE SUMMARY FOR ALL CANDIDATES LISTED ON AT LEAST ONE STATE BALLOT Candidate (Party Label) Popular Vote Total Percent of Popular Vote George W.
