  • Lawmakers Urge Congress to 'Man Up' on Transportation Funding
    Lawmakers urge Congress to ‘man up’ on transportation funding Rosalind Rossi SunTimes April 9, 2015 http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/lawmakers‐urge‐congress‐to‐man‐up‐on‐transportation‐funding/ Illinois’ federal lawmakers stood united with area transit leaders Thursday in urging Congress to “man up” and pass a long‐term federal transportation funding bill before two key transit measures expire or teeter on insolvency. “My message to Congress is `Man up,’ ” U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, (D‐Ill.), announced at a “Stand Up 4 Transportation” news conference at Chicago’s Union Station. Durbin joined U.S. Reps. Dan Lipinski (D‐Ill.), Mike Quigley (D‐Ill.), Bill Foster (D‐Ill.) and U.S. Rep. Bob Dold (R‐Ill.) in urging Congress to pass long‐term funding instead of patchwork short‐term solutions to bankroll the nation’s public transit and transportation systems. Lipinski noted that Congress has passed 11 short‐term extensions to fund the nation’s highway and transit needs in roughly the last six years. “This is not good for our country,” Lipinski said. “Congress cannot keep kicking the can down the road . The system becomes more and more expensive to fix.” Leaders of the CTA, Metra, Pace and Amtrak joined elected officials in urging long‐term, sustainable funding to maintain and upgrade transportation needs — from buses and trains to roads and bridges. Such a move is critical to not only the nation’s ability to move goods and carry people to work and commerce but to its future, they said. Quigley noted that investing in transportation infrastructure pays dividends.

  • 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at Frcaction.Org/Scorecard
    FRC ACTION VOTE SCORECARD 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at FRCAction.org/scorecard U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Dear Voter and Friend of the Family, FRC Action presents our Vote Scorecard for the First Session of the 114th Congress. This online Scorecard contains a compilation of significant votes on federal legislation affecting faith, family, and freedom that FRC Action either supported or opposed. These recorded votes span the 2015 calendar year and include the greatest number of pro-life votes in history, after the U.S. House increased its Republican membership and the U.S. Senate was returned to Republican control. The year began with a bipartisan effort in the House to prohibit federal funds from being used to pay for abortion coverage under Obamacare. Congress successfully fought to restrict FDA approval of some forms of embryo-destructive research. The House, once again, passed legislation that would prevent late abortions on 5 month old pain-capable unborn children, and although the Senate was unable to pass the bill due to the 60 vote threshold, for the first time, a majority of Senators voted in favor of the bill. The public release of videos revealing Planned Parenthood’s organ harvesting practices renewed efforts to defund this scandal-ridden organization and redirect funding towards community health centers. In an unprecedented victory, the House and Senate passed a budget reconciliation bill, the Restoring Ameri- cans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, which would have eliminated a significant portion of Planned Parenthood’s funding—roughly 80%— and repealed key provisions of Obamacare.
