  • Support for the Medical Marijuana Research Act of 2019 U.S
    Support for the Medical Marijuana Research Act of 2019 U.S. Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Andy Harris, M.D. (R-MD), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), H. Morgan Griffith (R-VA), Debbie Dingell (D-MI), and Rob Bishop (R-UT) Smart Colorado: Attributable to Diane Carlson,Co-Founder & National Policy Director, Smart Colorado: "We applaud the leadership of the congressional sponsors of The Medical Marijuana Research Act of 2019. They are from states that, like Colorado, have experienced the realities of marijuana legalization and know just how critical the need for more marijuana research is. For years Smart Colorado and its community partners and supporters have advocated for much-needed research to address information gaps. We believe this research is particularly important when it comes to today’s new and very different marijuana products and unprecedentedly high THC potencies. This research could help protect kids and inform adults. In Colorado there is no age restriction when it comes to medical marijuana; that makes the need for sound science on its potential risks and benefits even more imperative. Just this past legislative session, Colorado state legislators overwhelmingly voted for marijuana potency to be studied, a goal that is supported by this congressional legislation. Again, we are grateful for the leadership provided by the sponsors and urge others to support The Medical Marijuana Research Act of 2019, which has important and far- reaching nationwide implications." Smart Approaches for Marijuana (SAM Action): “Dr. Harris is a leader in responsible research into medicines that could be derived from the marijuana plant, and we are glad to see him reintroducing this important bill.

  • August 10, 2021 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi the Honorable Steny
    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

  • 1 April 2, 2020 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House Of
    April 2, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives H-232, United States Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi: We are grateful for your tireless work to address the needs of all Americans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for your understanding of the tremendous burdens that have been borne by localities as they work to respond to this crisis and keep their populations safe. However, we are concerned that the COVID-19 relief packages considered thus far have not provided direct funding to stabilize smaller counties, cities, and towns—specifically, those with populations under 500,000. As such, we urge you to include direct stabilization funding to such localities in the next COVID-19 response bill, or to lower the threshold for direct funding through the Coronavirus Relief Fund to localities with smaller populations. Many of us represent districts containing no or few localities with populations above 500,000. Like their larger neighbors, though, these smaller counties, cities, and towns have faced enormous costs while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. These costs include deploying timely public service announcements to keep Americans informed, rapidly activating emergency operations, readying employees for telework to keep services running, and more. This work is essential to keeping our constituents safe and mitigating the spread of the coronavirus as effectively as possible. We fear that, without targeted stabilization funding, smaller localities will be unable to continue providing these critical services to our constituents at the rate they are currently. We applaud you for including a $200 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund as part of H.R.

  • AZ Congressman Ruben Gallego Adds Amendment to FAA Appropriations Bill
    COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE NEWS June 4, 2015 AZ Congressman Ruben Gallego Adds Amendment to FAA Appropriations Bill A big step was taken today in putting a halt to regional airspace redesign that could negatively impact communities. The FAA moved flight paths in and out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in September 2014 without notification or input from community members affected by the changes. The FAA is now beginning its even larger, Metroplex regional airspace redesign process. Today an amendment was added to the Federal Transportation, Housing and Urban Development appropriations bill. This amendment, which could put a halt to the Phoenix Metroplex regional airspace redesign, was passed today by the US House of Representatives. US Representative Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), who sponsored the amendment, said today on the House floor, “This amendment is very straightforward. It would just simply ensure the FAA does not proceed with the redesign of the regional airspace around Sky Harbor Airport until these issues [noise impacts from the 2014 flight path changes] are resolved in the local neighborhoods.” US Representative David Schweikert (R-AZ) backed Congressman Gallego’s amendment. “This is our opportunity to at least get our voices heard,” said Schweikert. “There are well established corridors where you don’t have the effects on the neighborhoods and we can still be moving to the Next Gen, if I could find someone at the FAA who would actually listen to our concerns.” After pleading with the FAA for eight months to mitigate noise concerns in the community resulting from the September 2014 flight path changes, Phoenix filed a lawsuit on June 1.

  • Rare Disease Congressional Caucus
    Join the Rare Disease Congressional Caucus The bipartisan and bicameral Rare Disease Congressional Caucus is led by Representatives G. K. Butterfield (D-NC) and Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), and Senators Roger Wicker (R-MS) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) to promote awareness of rare disease issues. Background: There are over 7,000 rare disorders that together affect more than 30 million Americans and their families. Rare or orphan diseases are defined as diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Many rare diseases are considered ultra-rare; some affect fewer than 100 people. Rare diseases include rare cancers, tropical or neglected diseases, genetic diseases and many pediatric diseases including cancers. Many of these diseases are life-threatening and have no treatment options. The Orphan Drug Act was enacted in 1983 to incentivize pharmaceutical companies to develop therapies for diseases that have relatively small patient populations. Despite the success of the Orphan Drug Act, 93% of rare diseases still do not have a treatment approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The science exists for many of these diseases to be treated; however, treatments may never be developed because of roadblocks in the development process, such as a lack of investment and a challenging regulatory environment. Additionally, while relatively few treatments have been approved, patients struggle with health insurance reimbursement and other coverage barriers that prohibit access to potentially lifesaving treatments. Solution: The Rare Disease Congressional Caucus helps bring public and Congressional awareness to the unique needs of the rare disease community (including patients, physicians, scientists, and industry), and creates opportunities to address barriers to the development of and access to life-altering treatments.
