  • 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.

  • 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at Frcaction.Org/Scorecard
    FRC ACTION VOTE SCORECARD 114TH CONGRESS / First Session Available at FRCAction.org/scorecard U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate Dear Voter and Friend of the Family, FRC Action presents our Vote Scorecard for the First Session of the 114th Congress. This online Scorecard contains a compilation of significant votes on federal legislation affecting faith, family, and freedom that FRC Action either supported or opposed. These recorded votes span the 2015 calendar year and include the greatest number of pro-life votes in history, after the U.S. House increased its Republican membership and the U.S. Senate was returned to Republican control. The year began with a bipartisan effort in the House to prohibit federal funds from being used to pay for abortion coverage under Obamacare. Congress successfully fought to restrict FDA approval of some forms of embryo-destructive research. The House, once again, passed legislation that would prevent late abortions on 5 month old pain-capable unborn children, and although the Senate was unable to pass the bill due to the 60 vote threshold, for the first time, a majority of Senators voted in favor of the bill. The public release of videos revealing Planned Parenthood’s organ harvesting practices renewed efforts to defund this scandal-ridden organization and redirect funding towards community health centers. In an unprecedented victory, the House and Senate passed a budget reconciliation bill, the Restoring Ameri- cans’ Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act, which would have eliminated a significant portion of Planned Parenthood’s funding—roughly 80%— and repealed key provisions of Obamacare.

Over the course of a day and a half, the group held sixteen different face-to-face meetings with members and staff of the U.S. Congress to discuss the CFPB and their TRID implementation set to begin August 1, 2015. The group met personally with Senator John Cornyn and Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Jeb Hensarling (R-Dallas), as well as, Pete Sessions (R-Dallas); Bill Flores (R-Waco); Marc Veasey (D-Ft. Worth); Ruben Hinojosa (D-Beeville); Roger Williams (R- Austin); Kenny Marchant (RIrving); Pete Olson (R-Sugar Land); and, two new freshman Members from Texas, John Ratcliffe (RRockwall) and Dr. Brian Babin (R-Woodville). In addition, they met with staff of Senator Ted Cruz, Congressman Randy Neugebauer (R- Lubbock), Al Green (D-Houston); Mike Conaway (R-Midland) and freshman Will Hurd (R-San Antonio). The group specifically asked the elected officials to considering supporting a move to get CFPB to institute a “hold harmless” or “restrained enforcement” period for the first five months the TRID rule is in effect. There is legislation in Congress, HR 2213, to require CFPB to not enforce good faith mistakes on the new disclosures until after December 31, 2015.

  • April 16, 2020 Re: USDA Relief Funding for Dairy Idaho Dairymen, It Appears That We Are Very Near an Announcement by the U.S. D
    April 16, 2020 Re: USDA Relief Funding for Dairy Idaho Dairymen, It appears that we are very near an announcement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the details of major economic assistance for several sectors of agriculture provided by Congress in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ('CARES Act'). Among other provisions for economic assistance for farmers and nutrition assistance for the public, that bill provides $9.5 billion for specialty crop producers, livestock and dairy producers and farmers who sell directly through local markets and restaurants. The Congress gave Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue broad authority on assigning the funds in order to speed up the process of getting the assistance out the door and into the economy. All four members of the Idaho congressional delegation, Representatives Mike Simpson and Russ Fulcher and Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch, supported the CARES Act and have gone to work since the bill was signed into law three weeks ago to help make sure Idaho agriculture gets the support it needs in the wake of our nation's response to this public health crisis. Representatives Simpson and Fulcher went on the record and joined several of their colleagues in urging the Secretary of Agriculture to implement significant help for dairy farmers. Senator Risch originated and led a letter supported by Senator Mike Crapo and 13 of their colleagues from around the country urging the Secretary to 'go big' to help the dairy industry through this crisis. As you can imagine, the Secretary of Agriculture is getting input from industry groups all over the country on useful ways to deploy the assistance funds.
