Duke Energy and Boeing are also on this list despite these entity’s public declarations in January aimed at their customers and shareholders that were pausing all donations for a period of time, including those to members that voted against certifying the election. The leaders, companies and trade groups associated with these PACs should have to answer for their support of lawmakers whose votes that fueled the violence and sedition we saw on January 6.

  • 21.05.17 Taiwan-ICAO Letter 0.Pdf
    which is an ongoing concern, and we must not allow these issues to continue in airspace diplomacy. Taiwan is home to the eleventh busiest airport in the world, and the country’s absence in this organization ignores the public health and safety issues of global air travel. It is critical that we continue to publicly work with Taiwan and our other allies across the globe in combatting CCP influence in the region and international community, as well as continuing to build our diplomatic and defensive relationships. We are ready to work with your departments to see Taiwan included in the ICAO and the WHO, as well as to build on previous work to ease restrictions that allow us to increase our diplomatic missions to Taiwan. Lastly, we encourage you to continue to work to implement the Taiwan Relations Act and similar legislation related to Taiwan. These steps will reinforce the strength of the U.S.-Taiwan relationship and promote further cooperation between Taiwan and our other allies in the region. We stand ready to work with you on this effort and look forward to protecting the autonomy of a free, democratic Taiwan.

  • Veterans Elected in the Midterms 2018
    Veterans Elected In the Mid-Terms to Congress As of 16 November 2018, here are the veterans from all services who were just recently elected or re- elected to Congress. This may not be completely accurate since some races are too close to call. However, having said that if one or more of these Members of Congress are in your AOR, I request that you pass this along to our membership so that they can reach out to the newly elected veterans to put our Marine Corps League on the radar and to establish a constituent relationship. We also need to reaffirm our relationships with the incumbents as 2019 is going to be a busy legislative time with some new political dynamics. Note that there are 11 Marines in the new Congress. Here’s the list divided up between those who ran as Republicans and Democrats: Republicans 1. Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) Branch: Army 2. Rep. Rick Crawford (R-Ariz.) Branch: Army 3. Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ariz.) Branch: Army National Guard 4. Rep. Paul Cook (R-Calif.) Branch: Marine Corps 5. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) Branch: Marine Corps 6. Rep. Neal Dunn (R-Fla.) Branch: Army 7.

    May 29, 2020 The Honorable Elaine L. Chao Secretary of Transportation U.S. Department of Transportation 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC. 20590 Dear Secretary Chao, As a delegation, we write to support the Indiana Department of Transportation applications for the following Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) grants: • Interstate 70 (I-70) land expansion and safety improvement project in Hancock County • U.S. 31 Improvement Project in Franklin, IN • U.S. 36 Lane Expansion and Safety Improvement in Avon, IN Indiana is known as the Crossroads of America with nearly 12,000 miles of highways and more than 4,000 miles of rail lines within our borders. Recently, Indiana has taken responsible actions to ensure that its state-level infrastructure program serves the needs of Hoosiers and all Americans who traverse the state each day. In 2017, our state implemented a long-term transportation plan that fully funded maintenance and construction on existing highways for at least the next 20 years, provided funding certainty for transformative projects like the extension of Interstate 69 from Indianapolis to Evansville, and provided significant increases in funding to local governments for city, town and county road projects. Federal funding through these BUILD grants will ensure that these critical corridors are able to continue facilitating national commerce. Our state’s strategic location serves regional, national, and international markets; and Indiana’s transportation system has a significant impact on global freight movement and our nation’s output and productivity. Support for the aforementioned expansion and improvement projects will improve highway safety in the region, reduce congestion, and support economic development across Indiana.

HOWEY INDIANAPOLIS – At noon on Jan. 20, 2021, America appears set for another Donald Trump-era split screen moment: President-elect Joe Biden takes the oath of office in Washing- ton in a pandemic-induced virtual ceremony attended by people in masks; President Trump in South Florida at a super-spreader MAGA rally declaring for a third presidential run and second term in 2024.
