  • Talking Points for Contacting Your House Member Regarding the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA)
    Extremely Urgent Fall 2013 Talking points for contacting your House member regarding the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) Tell Your Congressman Who you are and what you do. My utility serves …. [XX,XXX people in your district/state] or My company provides vital products/services to water utilities throughout your district and provides jobs for XXXX people. A reliable drinking water supply and clean water sanitary systems are essential for a community’s economic development, public health, public safety and environmental quality. WIFIA is an innovative, loan-based program. It was approved by the Senate as part of S. 601, the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) by an overwhelming bi-partisan vote. WIFIA will significantly help water and waste water utilities and their customers meet water infrastructure finance needs with minimal or no long-term impact on the federal budget, because it is based on loans that are repaid to the federal treasury. By holding down the cost of water projects, WIFIA holds down customer water bills. The House approved its Water Resources Reform and Development Act, H.R. 3080, on Oct. 23, but without a WIFIA title. WIFIA would make direct loans for larger projects, defined as $20 million for cities with more than 25,000 people or $5 million for cities with fewer than 25,000 people. In addition, WIFIA would offer direct loans to states that wish to aggregate a number of smaller projects to reach the $20 million (or $5 million) threshold. In this way states can leverage their SRF resources. The Senate bill would cap WIFIA’s support of a project at 49% of a project’s cost.

  • USGLC Letter to House Appropriations Leadership
    March 24, 2014 The Honorable Hal Rogers The Honorable Nita Lowey Chairman Ranking Member Appropriations Committee Appropriations Committee U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Lowey: On behalf of the more than 400 business and NGO members of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC), including business, military, and faith-based leaders in all 50 states, we urge you to support a strong 302(b) allocation for the FY15 State-Foreign Operations bill that will protect these accounts from further deep and disproportionate cuts. As you know well, International Affairs programs that comprise the State-Foreign Operations bill are critical tools for advancing America’s national security and economic interests and responding to humanitarian crises. For 1% of total federal spending, these programs are cost-effective investments that tackle the root causes of conflict and extremism to ensure we only need to deploy the military as a last resort, saving American lives. They also are vital to building new markets for U.S. goods and services and creating good jobs and opportunities for those here at home. As we see with the crises of Syria and Ukraine, it is of the utmost importance that we provide the resources for an effective response. America’s development and diplomacy accounts have sustained deep and disproportionate cuts in recent years – 14% below FY10 enacted levels and targeted for even steeper cuts. With so many global hotspots and the need for U.S. leadership great than ever, our country cannot afford further deep cuts to these crucial programs.

  • ACP Letter to House Leaders Opposing H.R. 4302, the Protecting Access To
    March 26, 2014 The Honorable John Boehner The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker Minority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Eric Cantor The Honorable Steny Hoyer Majority Leader Minority Whip U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Majority Whip U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Dear Sirs and Madam: The American College of Physicians (ACP) urges Congress to resolve the remaining differences over how to address the budget impact of the bipartisan and bicameral permanent Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) repeal and physician payment reform legislation, as reported out by the leadership of the committees of jurisdiction. As we have said consistently and repeatedly throughout this legislative year, we cannot support another short-term patch. Instead, we firmly believe that enactment of permanent SGR repeal and reform, this year, by this Congress, is both imperative and achievable, because never before has there been agreement between the members of the House and Senate, and between Republicans and Democrats, on the policies to repeal the SGR and create a better Medicare payment system. Accordingly, we oppose passage of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, which would patch physician payments through March, 2015, instead of creating a process to resolve the remaining budget differences over permanent SGR repeal as reported out by the leadership of the House and Senate committees of jurisdiction. ACP is the largest medical specialty organization and second-largest physician group in the United States, representing 137,000 internal medicine physicians (internists), related subspecialists, and medical students.

    October 7, 2013 The Honorable John Boehner The Honorable Eric Cantor Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy The Honorable Cathy McMorris Rodgers Majority Whip Republican Conference Chair U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Boehner, Leader Cantor, Whip McCarthy, and Conference Chair McMorris Rodgers: I am writing on behalf of First Focus Campaign for Children to urge you, as leaders of the House of Representatives, to make children and families a priority in the federal policy and budget decisions that are currently being discussed and debated on Capitol Hill. We want to raise to your attention to some recent actions where Congress, although possibly unintentional, has ignored the needs of children and treated children as an after-thought in a manner that will have negative repercussions for our next generation and our nation’s future. First, it is important to underscore the fact that the Republican Party has historically made the goal of improving the lives of children and families a centerpiece of its legislative agenda at very instrumental moments in our history. Over a century ago and in a special message to Congress in 1909 that was a precursor to his successful effort to create the Federal Children’s Bureau, President Theodore Roosevelt said, “Each of our children represents either a potential addition to the productive capacity and the enlightened citizenship of the nation, or, if allowed to suffer from neglect, a potential addition to the destructive forces of the community.” Children and families have also been a key piece of broader legislation, including the 1986 reform of the tax code where President Ronald Reagan championed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
