  • Secure Travel Partnership Act of 2019
    Secure Travel Partnership Act of 2019 Congressional Bill Numbers: H.R. 1996; there is no bill in the Senate. Status as of February 2020: No new action since Exhibitions Day 2019. Why this matters to you: • Making it easier for international buyers or exhibitors to enter the country helps expands the shows marketplace. • Less staff time dealing with international buyers and visitors travel needs. Praise for co-sponsors: Check to see if your legislators are among the co-sponsors we praise for support of H.R. 1996. Better yet, reach out to them in writing to show your support (and let us know when you do)! • Sponsor: Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) • Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) • Rep. Steve Chabot (R-OH) • Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) • Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL) • Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) • Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) • Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) • Rep. Scott Peters (D-CA) • Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) • Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC) • Rep. Jefferson Van Drew (D-NJ) • Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC) Our Call to Action: We urge Congress to sign on to H.R. 1996 to rename the Visa Waiver Program to Secure Travel Partnership, to support secure and better travel for international travelers and to oppose any measures that could further erode North America’s market share of international business travelers. Overview: In 2017, 23 million travelers arrived in the United States from Visa Wavier Program countries and generated $190 billion in economic activity. Visitors from the 38 countries that participate help generates a $77 billion trade surplus for the U.S.

    An Advocacy Statement by the Commission on Religion and Race, Eastern Pennsylvania Conference of The United Methodist Church Co-chairpersons: the Rev. Susan Worrell and the Rev. Alicia Julia-Stanley “We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.” ~ Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address February 10, 2021 An open letter to select members of the United States Congress from Pennsylvania: Rep. John Joyce Rep. Mike Kelly Rep. Glenn Thompson Rep. Guy Reschenthaler Rep. Scott Perry Rep. Lloyd Smucker Rep. Dan Meuser Rep. Fred Keller As a nation, we stand at a dangerous precipice. We are witnessing a moment in history when an impeached former U.S. President is being tried by the U.S. Senate for inciting a violent, insurrectionist mob to attack the U.S. Capitol and threaten the lives of his Vice-President and members of the U.S. Congress. The former President urged and effectively unleashed the mob’s vengeance and fury against our elected public officials for standing up for our U.S. Constitution, the equal rights of all American voters, and the rights of states to have free and fair elections. The events of January 6, 2021, would not have happened without the echoes of assent you and others gave to Donald Trump’s incendiary words, the credibility you gave to his lies, and the supportive wall you built around him that continues to undermine dedicated leaders and departments of the Federal government.

  • July 21, 2021 Dear Leaders of Democratic States
    July 21, 2021 Dear Leaders of Democratic States: In the streets of Cuba, the people are bravely marching for a new day of freedom and demanding an end to the illegitimate, brutal Cuban dictatorship. After more than six decades of brutally oppressive rule, the Cuban people are risking their lives to loudly denounce the disastrous communist regime that has time and time again failed to promote and protect the general welfare of its citizens. The people are shouting “libertad,” and demanding freedom, democracy and human rights. As the Cuban people risk their lives for freedom, the world must stand with them in this critically important moment. As the democratically-elected leaders of the world’s free countries, we write to you today to fervently implore you to take action in support of the Cuban people and their democratic aspirations. It is time to finally end the evil and murderous reign of the communist, illegitimate Cuban regime that has murdered, tortured and oppressed for far too long. In concerted solidarity with the Cuban people, we believe there are four essential actions that we all must take immediately to promote freedom for the Cuban people and place further pressure on the corrupt and murderous Cuban regime to end its reign of terror. First, we urge you to emphatically denounce the illegitimate Cuban regime, hold it accountable for its human rights abuses and immediately end diplomatic relations. Freedom-loving nations must make clear our full and unwavering support for Cuba's pro-democracy movement, and for free and fair elections, with international supervision.
