A provi- sion in the bill authorizes $5 Billion to be paid to unions, state public employee systems and big corporations to subsidize health care coverage for early retirees. The law created the “Early Retiree Reinsurance Pro- gram” and called on it to spend a total of $5 billion between June 2010 and December 2013, when the na- tional health care exchanges are schedule to go into effect. This program is meant to help corporations, states and unions pay for health insurance for their employees who retire before they are eligible for Medi- care. Between June 1, 2010 and the end of the year it paid out about $535 million, but the rate of payments has increased dramatically in 2011 and at the current rate the $5 billion will be exhausted long before the end of the program and the Dems and their supporters will be back asking for more. This sounds very much like the plan that Hillary Clinton offered to business and unions to win their support when she was trying to insti- tute national health care during her husband’s administration Where did the money go in 2010? United Auto Workers, $207 million; AT&T, $140 million; Verizon, $92 million; GE, (who paid no taxes last year on billions of earnings) $37 million; and General Motors, $19 million. Large sums were also paid to state governments including: Ohio, $71 million, Teachers Retirement in Texas, $68 million; CalPERS, $58 million; Georgia, $58 million; and New York, $48 million. Other unions receiving funds include United Food and Commercial Workers, United Mine Workers and the Teamsters. Maybe now these unions will have more money to contribute to the campaigns of Democrat candidates. Republican lawmakers were unable to get information on this program until they won control of the House. I wonder how many other little goodies are in the legislation as a payoff to those who supported the passage of this bill.

    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.

  • YOUR CALL to ACTION How You Can Start Making a Difference Today
    YOUR CALL TO ACTION How you can start making a difference today The National Cannabis Industry Association exists to represent the interests of legitimate and responsible cannabis-related businesses in our nation’s capital. Our core mission is to ensure that our members are treated like businesses in any other American industry. NCIA encourages our members to be politically active on all levels of government and contact your elected officials both at home and in Washington, D.C. Every year, Congress must pass appropriations legislation to fund the government for the upcoming fiscal year. Over the past two years, NCIA has been very successful lobbying members to support pro-cannabis appropriations amendments that have protected state-sanctioned medical cannabis businesses and been enacted into law. But this has to be repeated every year and there are no guaranteed victories without hard work. The appropriations “season” usually begins in the springtime, and as we get closer to votes it’s important that Congressional offices hear from you. Although it is becoming harder and harder for Congress to do basic functions (including funding the government), NCIA will continue to focus on appropriations this year. HOW TO IMPACT CHANGE Rep. Mark Amodei (R) sits on the House Appropriations Committee and recently voted against cannabis-related provisions after voting for them in years past. Be sure to contact Rep. Amodei’s office and ask for their support of the responsible and legitimate cannabis industry. TWITTER CAMPAIGN Call, write, or tweet your Representative and Senators and ask that they support the pro-cannabis amendments that will eventually be introduced during floor votes.

  • K.C. Brekken WPSA Conference Paper 04-02-2015 1 Adapting
    K.C. Brekken WPSA Conference Paper 04-02-2015 Adapting Twitter to Home Style “Most of the communication I have heard and seen is not overtly political at all. It is rather, part of a ceaseless effort to reinforce the underpinnings of trust in the congressman or the congresswoman as a person. Viewed from this perspective, the archetypical constituent question is not ‘What have you done for me lately?’ but ‘How have you looked to me lately?’” (Fenno, 1978, p. 56). Introduction: Political scientists have long praised Richard Fenno’s 1978 Home Style: House Members in Their Districts, for breaking the mold on research concerning members of Congress and identifying a new and expansive area for future research on representational activities within the district (Fenno, 1978; Leuthold, 1979; McGraw, Timpone & Brucl, 1993). As they have attempted to expand upon his bold agenda, new technologies have developed, further complicating Fenno’s theory that scholars must understand representatives’ district activities before they can fully appreciate their behavior in Washington. Most members of Congress have evolved to these new mediums with few exceptions (Sen. Lindsey Graham, potential Republican presidential candidate, says he’s never sent an email, 2015). They use social media, Skype with their districts for town halls, send mass e-mails and solicit and collect donations via the Web. Therefore, political scientists have a tough job to examine these new methods of communication to determine how they are impacting representatives’ goals of re-election, power within the chamber and good public policy (Aldrich, Perry & Rohde, 2013; Fenno, 1973.) This paper concerns itself with just one of those goals – re-election – and how Nevada’s four congressional representatives used Twitter to communicate with constituents during re-election as part of their presentation of self.

  • H:\Jim H Projects\Nevada\NV Sen\Oct Brushfire #3\NV Sen October
    M E M O R A N D U M TO: INTERESTED PARTIES FROM: GLEN BOLGER/JIM HOBART RE: NEVADA STATEWIDE SURVEY: KEY FINDINGS DATE: OCTOBER 13, 2016 Methodology Public Opinion Strategies conducted a statewide surveys of 600 registered voters in Nevada. The survey was conducted October 11‐12, 2016 and has a margin of error of +4.0%. Fifty‐five percent (55%) of interviews were conducted with landline respondents and 45% of interviews were conducted with cell phone respondents. Interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish. Key Findings 1. Joe Heck leads Catherine Cortez Masto by three points on the Senate ballot, while Donald Trump is trailing in the Presidential race. In the race to replace Harry Reid, Heck has a three point advantage over Cortez Masto (47% Heck/44% Cortez Masto). Five percent (5%) of voters are undecided), 2% say they will skip the Senate ballot and another 2% will choose the none of the above option. At 47% of the vote, Joe Heck is running eight points ahead of Donald Trump, who receives 39% of the vote on the three‐way ballot (39% Trump/45% Clinton/10% Johnson.). 2. There is no evidence that Heck announcing he could no longer support Trump is hurting him with Trump’s voters. Just days after announcing that he could no longer support Trump for President, Heck is winning 89% of Trump voters. In comparison, Cortez Masto is winning 84% of Clinton voters. Heck is also winning 91% of base Republicans, 90% of very conservative voters, and 88% of voters with a favorable opinion of Trump.
