  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2013 Remarks at a Democratic
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2013 Remarks at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee/Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Fundraiser in New York City May 13, 2013 Thank you. Please, everybody, have a seat. Well, first of all, thank you so much, Steve Israel, not only for the wonderful introduction, but I love the story of your grandparents. And so often we spend time thinking about how we got into this strange business—[laughter]—but so often it traces back to the values that were passed on generation through generation. And to hear that story, I think, affirms not only why you're such an outstanding Congressman, but also the kind of man you are. And so we're thrilled to have you here and just the great job you're doing on behalf of the DCCC. So give Steve a big round of applause. I want to say thank you to somebody who has been a great friend. If you are in a foxhole, this is the person you want with you: the soon-to-be-again Speaker of the House, Leader Nancy Pelosi. We love Nancy. And one of my favorite Senators, just a guy who everybody who meets him says, that guy, he's just solid, sincere, hard-working, a wonderful family, and has really helped to transform politics in Colorado: Michael Bennet. Give Michael a big round of applause. And of course, I want to acknowledge all the outstanding members of the New York delegation who are here. But I've got to give a special shout-out to somebody who is helping to engineer some of the most important legislative agendas—items that we've got in my second term—could not be prouder of him—Chuck Schumer.

  • Immigration Reform in the House – Republican Targets July 3, 2013
    Immigration Reform in the House – Republican Targets July 3, 2013 If there is a vote on comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship in the House, it will pass with a bipartisan majority. If all but a handful of the House Democrats vote yes, and at least 20 Republicans from the list below come along, reform can easily clear the 218 necessary to pass the lower chamber. Looking at the list of 99 House Republicans below, it’s clear that capturing those 20 or so Republican votes is well within reach. Our target list includes several different groups of Republicans, such as: Republicans with growing numbers of Latino and Asian constituents. While redistricting has temporarily insulated many House Republicans from the “demographic cliff” their party faces if it caters only to white voters," at least 38 Republican members of Congress represent heavily Latino districts--and approximately 25 GOP members are in diverse swing districts where the growing Latino, Asian, and immigrant vote is crucial. These include California Republicans Jeff Denham, David Valadao, Gary Miller, Buck McKeon and Devin Nunes; Colorado Republican Mike Coffman; Florida Republicans Mario Diaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (both of whom are longtime supporters of immigration reform); New York Republicans Peter King and Michael Grimm; and Nevada Republican Joe Heck. Republicans with agricultural or high-tech interests in their districts. Both the agriculture and high-tech sectors urgently need immigration reform to secure a 21st century workforce. Republicans who should support reform for the economic well-being of their districts include Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), Spencer Bachus (R-AL),and Sam Johnson (R-TX), all of whom represent agriculture-heavy districts, and Darrell Issa (R-CA), whose district includes tech interests.

  • Federal Funding: Everybody Wants Some!
    Federal funding: everybody wants some! BY STEVE HYMON , OCTOBER 20, 2009 With Metro’s long-range plan (http://www.metro.net/board/Items/2009/10_October/20091014P&PItem10.pdf) scheduled for a vote Thursday, things around One Gateway Plaza are starting to heat up. Case in point: A letter from 14 members of Congress (http://www.metro.net/news_info/press/images/fedLetter102009.pdf) landed in the building Tuesday morning requesting that the Board of Directors seek federal money for three additional projects: The Gold Line Foothill Extension from Azusa to Montclair, the Crenshaw Corridor project (likely to be a light rail line) and the Eastside Gold Line Extension, which will travel from East L.A. to either South El Monte or Whittier. The letter comes about a month after the Board voted unanimously to request federal funding (http://www.metro.net/news_info/press/Metro_152.htm) for two projects — the subway extension on the Westside and the downtown regional connector, the two planned lines expected to have very high ridership. The Congress members in their letter say that federal money for the subway and regional connector could take several years to flow, so it would make sense in the meantime to try to secure money for other projects. “The Gold Line Foothill Extension project, Azusa to Montclair, is developed enough to be ready for Federal New Starts funds in the years before the Westside Subway Extension and the Regional Connector Transit Corridor,” write the Congress members. The long-range plan due for a vote on Thursday has the subway opening to Fairfax in 2019, the same year the downtown connector would open.

Megason Second Vice Chair – Lee Adams, Sierra County Chief Financial Officer – Karl Dolk Past Chair - Kim Dolbow Vann, Colusa County To: RCRC Board of Directors From: Kathy Mannion, Legislative Advocate Date: June 11, 2013 Re: H.R. 836 (Miller) - Sunshine on Conflicts Act of 2013 Summary RCRC has joined a varied coalition in supporting H.R. 836 by Congressman Gary Miller which addresses a regulatory obstacle that prevents the most qualified individuals from serving on water quality permitting boards. RCRC staff is encouraging member counties to send a letter supporting H.R. 836 and requesting that their Congressional representative join as a co-sponsor of the bill. Background Current U.S. EPA regulations preclude any individual from serving on a water quality permitting authority if that person receives “significant” income, defined as 10% or more of his or her income, from an entity holding or applying for a federal National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Because general permits and NPDES permits now cover the vast majority of local governments, school districts, etc., the 10% requirement is an obstacle for many qualified local government candidates. Issue H.R. 836 would replace the income restriction approach with a conflict of interest test by requiring the promulgation of a rule that would prohibit any member of a board or body that approves permit applications from voting on, or seeking to influence, the approval of any permit in which that member has a direct or indirect financial interest as defined in State law.
