Eliot Engel, NY-16 January 14, 2019 RE: Pay the Defenders of NYC and NY Harbor Dear Members of the NYC Congressional Delegation, On behalf of our membership, we urge you to take immediate action to pay uniformed members of the United States Coast Guard, the United States Public Health Service, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to keep employees critical to the defense and preparedness of New York City and New York Harbor working and paid regardless of the political battles being fought in Washington, DC. We support immediate passage of H.R. 367, with the addition of USPHS and NOAA. Though continued funding for the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force is provisioned through the U.S. Department of Defense, members of the above three federal uniformed services critical to defending our city and port remain unpaid, and their families are left to suffer the consequences in an unforgivingly expensive metropolitan area. While we oppose the shutdown generally, it is especially abhorrent that our city’s defenders have been forced to suffer. New York City last year was named a “Coast Guard City,” yet our Coasties are being asked to sacrifice greatly just to keep serving us.

  • Ron-Desantis-For-Stay-At-Home-Order
    March 31, 2020 Governor Ron DeSantis State of Florida The Capitol 400 South Monroe St. Tallahassee, FL 32399-0001 Dear Governor DeSantis: As a follow up from our March 25th letter, we again urge you to issue a stay-at-home order for the entire state as COVID-19 continues to spread. Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, provided a stark warning Friday on the need for Americans to continue social distancing measures: “When you think you're maybe overreacting, you probably are not acting as forcefully as you should.” We appreciate your recent announcement that you will be issuing a “safer-at-home” order for the southern portion of the state, and will apply this order to Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Monroe counties through the middle of April. However, given that there are over 5,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Florida, with the Department of Health reporting 523 new positive cases on Sunday, this order should be applied to the entire state immediately in order to effectively slow the spread of COVID-19. This pandemic has not respected global borders so it certainly will not respect county borders. We cannot wait, and we cannot leave this decision to county and municipal governments. We urge you to immediately issue a statewide stay-at-home order to save lives. Sincerely, ______________________ ______________________ Lois Frankel Debbie Wasserman Schultz Member of Congress Member of Congress ______________________ ______________________ Debbie Mucarsel Powell Donna Shalala Member of Congress Member of Congress _____________________ ______________________ Theodore E.
