IMPEACHMENT: WEEK FIVE What Mattered
IMPEACHMENT: WEEK FIVE What mattered The most momentous and consequential vote of this Congress – or any Congress in recent memory – went down not with a bang, but with a quick and quiet, almost under-the-radar vote. After 12 hours of contentious and often factually disconnected debate of proposed amendments to the two articles of impeachment, the committee reconvened at 10 a.m. Friday and by 10:09 had been gaveled to a close after a party line vote to approve the articles of impeachment. The end of a heck of a week. "IMAGINATION IS THE ONLY LIMIT TO WHAT HE MAY DO NEXT" The reason we have not heard from all the witnesses and documents is because President Trump has obstructed the investigation. " – Barry Berke " Things progressed pretty much as expected last week. On Monday, the House Judiciary Committee released a 55-page report detailing the Constitutional basis for impeaching President Trump. Check out Section 6, page 41 for responses to Republicans' "inaccurate claims" about the legality or fairness of the process itself. The fireworks came when the panel questioned both the Democratic and Republican counsel. There was several hours of questioning for both the witnesses, but Barry Berke's four-minute dissection of the "excuses" for Trump's actions clearly laid out the facts. “HOW WOULD YOU BE REMEMBERED?” By Tuesday, two articles of impeachment had been prepared: Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress. Markup began on Wednesday with an evening session where each of the 41 committee members made their opening statements, setting the hyper-partisan tone for the next three days. -

Talking Points for Contacting Your House Member Regarding the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA)
Extremely Urgent Fall 2013 Talking points for contacting your House member regarding the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) Tell Your Congressman Who you are and what you do. My utility serves …. [XX,XXX people in your district/state] or My company provides vital products/services to water utilities throughout your district and provides jobs for XXXX people. A reliable drinking water supply and clean water sanitary systems are essential for a community’s economic development, public health, public safety and environmental quality. WIFIA is an innovative, loan-based program. It was approved by the Senate as part of S. 601, the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) by an overwhelming bi-partisan vote. WIFIA will significantly help water and waste water utilities and their customers meet water infrastructure finance needs with minimal or no long-term impact on the federal budget, because it is based on loans that are repaid to the federal treasury. By holding down the cost of water projects, WIFIA holds down customer water bills. The House approved its Water Resources Reform and Development Act, H.R. 3080, on Oct. 23, but without a WIFIA title. WIFIA would make direct loans for larger projects, defined as $20 million for cities with more than 25,000 people or $5 million for cities with fewer than 25,000 people. In addition, WIFIA would offer direct loans to states that wish to aggregate a number of smaller projects to reach the $20 million (or $5 million) threshold. In this way states can leverage their SRF resources. The Senate bill would cap WIFIA’s support of a project at 49% of a project’s cost. -

USGLC Letter to House Appropriations Leadership
March 24, 2014 The Honorable Hal Rogers The Honorable Nita Lowey Chairman Ranking Member Appropriations Committee Appropriations Committee U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Chairman Rogers and Ranking Member Lowey: On behalf of the more than 400 business and NGO members of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC), including business, military, and faith-based leaders in all 50 states, we urge you to support a strong 302(b) allocation for the FY15 State-Foreign Operations bill that will protect these accounts from further deep and disproportionate cuts. As you know well, International Affairs programs that comprise the State-Foreign Operations bill are critical tools for advancing America’s national security and economic interests and responding to humanitarian crises. For 1% of total federal spending, these programs are cost-effective investments that tackle the root causes of conflict and extremism to ensure we only need to deploy the military as a last resort, saving American lives. They also are vital to building new markets for U.S. goods and services and creating good jobs and opportunities for those here at home. As we see with the crises of Syria and Ukraine, it is of the utmost importance that we provide the resources for an effective response. America’s development and diplomacy accounts have sustained deep and disproportionate cuts in recent years – 14% below FY10 enacted levels and targeted for even steeper cuts. With so many global hotspots and the need for U.S. leadership great than ever, our country cannot afford further deep cuts to these crucial programs.
