  • June 4, 2018 Honorable Chuck Grassley
    June 4, 2018 Honorable Chuck Grassley Honorable Dianne Feinstein Chairman Ranking Member Senate Judiciary Committee Senate Judiciary Committee 224 Dirksen Senate Office Building 224 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Grassley and Ranking Member Feinstein: On behalf of the Copyright Alliance and our members, I write in opposition to S. 2933, the Accessibility for Curators, Creators, Educators, Scholars, and Society to Recordings Act (the “ACCESS to Recordings Act”). The bill is a fundamentally flawed attempt to address misinformed and unfounded criticisms of the Music Modernization Act (S. 2823), in particular, provisions which would enable legacy artists (who recorded music before 1972) to be paid royalties when their music is played on digital radio. The Copyright Alliance is a non-profit, non-partisan public interest and educational organization representing the copyright interests of over 1.8 million individual creators and over 13,000 organizations in the United States, across the spectrum of copyright disciplines. In particular, we represent most of the individuals and businesses involved in the music industry, including songwriters, music publishers, performance rights organizations, recording artists, producers, record labels, and broadcasters. The Copyright Alliance is dedicated to advocating policies that promote and preserve the value of copyright and to protecting the rights of creators and innovators, including musicians, filmmakers, photographers and publishers. The individual creators and organizations that we represent rely on copyright law to protect their creativity, efforts, and investments in the creation and distribution of new copyrighted works for the public to enjoy. Among other things, the Music Modernization Act would correct a historical injustice by requiring digital services to pay legacy artists when they stream their music under federal law.

  • Lindsey Graham Says 2017 Is All About Hitting Back at Russia
    Lindsey Graham Says 2017 Is All About Hitting Back at Russia Nick Wadhams and Patrick Donahue February 19, 2017, 1:50 PM GMT+1 ➞ U.S. Republican senator vows investigation into election hack ➞ Germans and French may be next to face attack, Graham says U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham promised that Congress will press ahead with a bill to sanction Russia for interfering in the U.S. presidential election, and investigate the methods it used, to make sure other countries don’t fall victim to similar hacking attacks. Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, called on President Donald Trump to make a clear statement that Russia must pay a price for interfering with the election even though Democrats suffered most from the hacking. A Senate bill to sanction Russia is likely to get more than 75 votes and Trump should sign it, he told the Munich Security Conference on Sunday. Lindsey Graham Photographer: Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg The year 2017 “is going to be a year of kicking Russia in the ass in Congress,” Graham said. “If you’re worried that we’re not going to look long and hard at what Russia did in our election because Trump won and Republicans are in charge, you don’t need to worry about that. We are. Because if we don’t, it could be the Chinese or Iranians next, it could be the Republicans next time.” Allegations of Russian meddling in the U.S. election -- and concern it will do the same ahead of votes in Germany and France this year -- were a theme at the security conference, where German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Russia’s pursuit of so-called hybrid warfare poses a “serious challenge for democracies.” Participants remained unnerved by Trump’s repeated calls for better ties with Moscow, even after Vice President Mike Pence said Russia must be held accountable for its actions in Ukraine.

  • May 2019 Congress Has Continued Its Focus on Appropriations
    Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser May 2019 SHARE THIS Congress has continued its focus on appropriations, nominations and investigations as the Memorial Day recess approaches. The administration continues to focus on trade as the President’s top policy priority. The main legislative agenda item continues to be the budget and appropriations for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020. Legislators are grappling with how to handle the discretionary spending caps and prevent the impending $126 billion in automatic, across­the­board spending cuts, known as sequestration, that will be triggered in January 2020, if Congress fails to reach a deal. Budget Committee leaders in both chambers have spent weeks negotiating, but a compromise has yet to materialize. Consequently, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D­ CA) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R­KY) have begun discussions over a two­year budget deal at the leadership level. Any deal is likely to come together no earlier than late summer or early fall. While the constructs of a budget caps deal remain up for debate, lawmakers are beginning to markup the FY 20 appropriations bill in an attempt to keep the process somewhat on track. In the House, several Appropriations Subcommittees have already begun marking up appropriations legislation, including the Labor­HHS­Education and Legislative Branch bills. The Senate is continuing to negotiate on spending levels and has yet to release or markup any spending measures. The Senate is continuing to negotiate on spending levels and has yet to release or markup any spending measures. Closely connected to the budget caps debate are negotiations surrounding the debt ceiling.

Please Carter Thompson at [email protected] or Andrew Nam in Senator Tillis’ office at [email protected] to sign on by COB March 17. XXXX, 2020 The Honorable Roy Blunt The Honorable Patty Murray Chairman Ranking Member Subcommittee on Labor, HHS, Education Subcommittee on Labor, HHS, Education & Related Agencies & Related Agencies United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman Blunt and Ranking Member Murray: As you develop the Fiscal Year 2021 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, we respectfully request that you provide $15 million in funding for the Statewide Family Engagement Centers (SFEC). The SFEC program provides much-needed technical assistance and partnership development to states and school districts to foster meaningful engagement with families to further their children's academic and developmental progress. SFECs also provide vital direct services to improve collaboration of engagement between children, parents, teachers, school leaders, counselors, administrators and other school personnel with each other. The SFEC program embarked on the inaugural year of an initial five-year grant cycle after receiving $10 million in the FY18 appropriations process, resulting in thirteen states establishing SFECs. While we were pleased to see that the program received $10 million in both FY19 and FY20, no new centers can be established without additional funding. This means 41.7 million K-12 students and their families in the other states are unable to benefit from enhanced engagement supports and services provided by SFECs unless Congress provides more funding.

I also noted your request to delay the next PJM capacity auction until 2021. I value your input and appreciate your taking the time to let me know of your views. As our rehearing application to the FERC in docket nos. EL16-49-000 and EL18-178-000 makes clear, PJM is supportive of our states and their right to craft energy policy. Our rehearing application seeks reconsideration of PJM’s various proposals to accommodate state resource preferences, and we are hopeful that the FERC rules favorably upon those requests.

The Monmouth University Poll of likely South Carolina voters also found that Marco Rubio, who places third overall, is the clear favorite from the so- called “establishment” pack of candidates. However, his so-called “generational appeal” seems to be appealing to a different generation than expected. Among voters likely to participate in South Carolina’s Republican primary in February, 28% support Ben Carson and 27% support Donald Trump. Marco Rubio places third at 11%, followed by Ted Cruz (9%) and Jeb Bush (7%). None of the other ten candidates in the field scores higher than 2%. Monmouth’s prior South Carolina poll was conducted in late August just as Carson had started to surge after the first debate. In that poll, Trump led Carson by 30% to 15%. Since then, Trump’s support has held fairly steady, trailing off by only 3 points, while Carson’s support has nearly doubled. Rubio’s share of the vote has grown by 5 points and the Cruz vote has increased by 4 points.
