  • June 8, 2021 the Honorable Joseph R. Biden Jr
    June 8, 2021 The Honorable Joseph R. Biden Jr. President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Biden: We are writing to express grave concern with your administration’s plans to retire a vital national security asset, the A-10 Thunderbolt II, also known as the “Warthog.” Currently, the A-10 is the only Air Force platform that can provide adequate and reliable close air support to our troops on the ground. Having seen the Air Force’s plans to retire numerous airframes, Congress required a “fly-off” assessment designed to examine whether another aircraft could provide the protection on which our ground troops rely in combat. Although that requirement was enacted with the FY17 NDAA, this analysis has not yet been provided to Congress, making the sweeping retirements proposed premature. Without a viable replacement, we are concerned retirements of any A-10 aircraft would leave a severe capability gap within our military. In addition to its exceptional, combat-proven performance, the A-10’s operational cost is just 20% of what is required to operationally maintain the Air Force’s proposed alternative for close air support, the F-35. Yet, for FY21, the Air Force has spent only $15.6 million of $100 million (15%) of funds requested and appropriated to sustain the A-10 fleet into the 2030s. With the F-35’s ability to provide close air support as yet unproven, and the fact that the Air Force has already invested millions of dollars to keep the A-10 flying through the next decade, it would be financially irresponsible to consider mothballing any portion of the fleet at this time.

Grijalva The Honorable Paul Gosar United States Congress United States Congress The Honorable Andy Biggs The Honorable David Schweikert United States Congress United States Congress The Honorable Ruben Gallego The Honorable Debbie Lesko United States Congress United States Congress The Honorable Greg Stanton United States Congress Dear Members of the Arizona Congressional Delegation: As Mayors of cities and towns located along the potential Tucson-Phoenix-West Valley Amtrak route, we enthusiastically support Amtrak’s vision to bring passenger rail service to our communities. Frequent and reliable passenger rail service will expand economic opportunities and provide important regional connections between our cities and towns. We further support Amtrak’s reauthorization proposal to create a Corridor Development Program, which will help advance Amtrak’s planning, development and implementation of new corridor routes and improvements to existing routes. By funding this program through Amtrak’s National Network grant, Amtrak can make the initial capital investments necessary to get these new routes up and running. The grant will also cover the operating costs for the first several years, offering new services the ability to grow ridership and generate revenue. Amtrak has made clear its commitment to working in a collaborative manner with state and local partners to grow the national rail network, and we look forward to this partnership. In addition to Amtrak’s National Network grant, we also support increased funding for USDOT competitive grants, which can also support more passenger rail.

  • December 4, 2020 the Honorable Mitch Mcconnell the Honorable
    December 4, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Leaders McConnell and Schumer: We write to express our support for addressing upcoming physician payment cuts in ongoing legislative negotiations. We believe these cuts will further strain our health care system, which is already stressed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and jeopardize patient access to medically necessary services over the long-term. On December 1, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services finalized the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for 2021. The fee schedule includes several positive attributes, including improvements for maternity care and much-needed payment increases for physicians delivering primary and other essential outpatient and office-based care to some of our nation’s most vulnerable patients. These changes should take effect on January 1, 2021, as planned. However, a statutory budget neutrality rule requires that any increases in Medicare payments for these office visits, also known as evaluation and management (E/M) services, must be offset by corresponding decreases. As a result, many practitioners including surgeons, specialists, therapists and others face substantial cuts beginning on January 1, 2021, if Congress does not take action to provide relief. Health care professionals across the spectrum are reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 emergency as they continue to serve patients during this global pandemic. The payment cuts finalized by CMS would pose a threat to providers and their patients under any circumstances, but during a pandemic the impact is even more profound.

    WHO WEARE Progressive Turnout Project is the largest voter contact organization in the country. Our mission: Get Democrats to vote. We were founded in 2015 to fill a void in Democratic strategy - the lack of an organization 100% focused on targeted field conversations in highly competitive House and Senate races, instead of pouring money into ineffective TV ads. "I'm grateful that Progressive Turnout Project is puttingin the hard work to turn out voters for Democrats upand down theticket. PTP supports grassroots candidates who run in tough races and helped me win in 2018." Rep. Katie Porter (CA-45) In the past five years, Progressive Turnout Project has taken a leadership role in testing new field tactics and fine-tuning our traditional door-to-door canvass program. In 2020, we developed a robust digital and phone program, plus expanded outreach to Latinx and Spanish-speaking voters. With Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the White House, and Democrats in control in Congress, we wanted to share our latest work with you. ARIZONA was on our watchlist for two big reasons: a vulnerable incumbent Republican Senator, Martha McSally, and a growing Democratic electorate thanks to years of work by local groups. Our Phoenix and Tucson teams (plus volunteers) made more than 4.2 million voter-contact attempts to flip Arizona for Mark Kelly and Joe Biden. 89 staff on the ground $2,827,000 investment In GEORGIA, our more than 11.6 million voter- contact attempts helped turn out the voters Democrats needed not only to win these 16 electoral votes but also to send Rev.

The DLT grant program assists rural and tribal communities in acquiring distance learning and telemedical technologies so that local teachers and medical service providers can connect to educators and medical professionals in other parts of the country. Since 1994, the DLT grant program has helped to establish hundreds of distance learning and telemedicine systems, improving the quality of life for thousands of residents in rural communities all across the United States. DLT specifically helps rural communities invest in telecommunications-enabled information, audio and visual equipment, and advanced technologies to assist its residents in accessing educational and health care services. Recipients have used the program to provide distance learning paramedic courses to first responders, improve access to specialty health education, and establish partnerships between rural high schools and community colleges. Recent DLT recipients have used the grants to help address opioid abuse treatment and mental health counseling in rural America. These educational and health services are vital.
