  • March 8, 2016 President Barack Obama the White House
    March 8, 2016 President Barack Obama The White House Washington, DC 20502 Dear Mr. President: At the most recent meeting of the President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking (“PITF”) in early January, we were pleased to see the progress reported by those departments and agencies across the federal government with responsibility for coordinating efforts to combat trafficking in persons. In particular, we applaud that the PITF marked the first convening of the U.S. Advisory Council on Human Trafficking. At the close of the meeting, Ms. Tina Tchen, Executive Director of the White House’s Council on Women and Girls, challenged those in attendance to feel the “fierce urgency of the remaining 12 months” to cement the President’s legacy by making “as broad and as deep a commitment” as necessary to combat trafficking in persons. Like Ms. Tchen, ATEST and the Freedom Network believe the Administration is poised to realize important gains against human trafficking in the U.S. and overseas. We request that you consider the following key priorities during the final year of the Administration, which are further described in the attached document. 1. Implement Nationwide In-Person Registration Program for Domestic Workers: In October of 2015 the Department of State launched a pilot program to conduct in- person registration of A-3 domestic workers in Washington, DC. We are pleased that the pilot program, also outlined in the Federal Strategic Action Plan on Services for Victims of Human Trafficking in the United States, is now underway and ask that full nationwide implementation of the program be completed within the year.

  • The Obama Administration Threatens Unborn Life
    The Obama Administration Threatens Unborn Life Even prior to his election President Obama had established a record that some called the “most pro-abortion” of any candidate or President. Since taking office his record has solidified this distinction: Mexico City Policy: January 23, 2009 – In one of his first executive actions, President Obama lifted the ban on U.S. funding for international health groups that perform abortions, promote legalizing the procedure, or provide counseling about terminating pregnancies.1 Embryonic Stem Cell Announcement: March 9, 2009 – President Obama signed an Executive Order to lift restrictions on human embryonic stem cell experimentation.2 Conscience Rule: March 10, 2009 – Obama administration published its proposal to rescind and eliminate the conscience-protecting regulations passed by the Bush administration in January 2009.3 Plan B access expanded to 17 year-olds: April 22, 2009 – FDA accepted rather than appealed a federal judge’s order that lifted Bush administration restrictions limiting over-the-counter sales of “Plan B” to women 18 and older. One of “Plan B’s” way of acting is to prevent implantation of a newly conceived embryo, i.e., “Plan B” can kill unborn children.4 NIH unveils new human embryonic stem cell experimentation funding guidelines: July 7, 2009 – The new Guidelines provide an incentive for continued destruction of human embryos, to provide new hESC lines for federal taxpayer funding.5 Abortion/Reproductive Rights language changes in international meetings: March, 2009 – Overall international organization language changes, in particular on definition of reproductive rights and reproductive health. Began to be evident at the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in March, 2009 and continued through until present.6 FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL June 2012 801 G STREET NW, WASHINGTON, D.C.

Freeman and Casey Ichniowski, eds. Volume Publisher: University of Chicago Press Volume ISBN: 0-226-26166-2 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/free88-1 Publication Date: 1988 Chapter Title: Are Public Sector Workers Paid More Than Their Alternative Wage? Evidence from Longitudinal Data and Job Queues Chapter Author: Alan B. Krueger Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c7910 Chapter pages in book: (p. 217 - 242) 8 Are Public Sector Workers Paid More Than Their Alternative Wage? Evidence from Longitudinal Data and Job Queues Alan B. Krueger Several academic researchers have addressed the issue of whether federal government workers are paid more than comparable private sector workers. In general, these studies use cross-sectional data to estimate the differential in wages between federal and private sector workers, controlling for observed worker characteristics such as age and education. (Examples are Smith 1976, 1977 and Quinn 1979.) This literature typically finds that wages are 10-20 percent greater for federal workers than private sector workers, all else constant. In conflict with the findings of academic studies, the Bureau of Labor Statistics’s of- ficial wage comparability survey consistently finds that federal workers are paid less than private sector workers who perform similar jobs.’ Moreover, the government’s findings have been confirmed by an in- dependent study by Hay Associates (1984). Additional research is needed to resolve this conflict. When the focus turns to state and local governments, insignificant differences in pay are generally found between state and local govern- ment employees and private sector employees.

    March 18, 2014 The Honorable Barack Obama President of the United States The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20500 Urging Swift Administration Action to Resolve Funding for Detroit-Windsor Bridge Customs Facility Dear President Obama: The undersigned organizations urge you to swiftly resolve questions surrounding funding for the U.S. Federal Plaza associated with the New International Trade Crossing (NITC) bridge between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario to allow the project to commence. The new six-lane bridge will enhance a vital link with America’s closest economic partner. The current trade corridor, the busiest between the United States and Canada, handles 8,000 truck crossings and 68,000 travelers daily. The existing four-lane, 85-year old Ambassador Bridge is simply inadequate to handle projected volume increases. By adding vital new capacity, the NITC will reduce border congestion, enhance efficiencies for businesses on both sides of the border, create jobs, benefit the environment, and strengthen the North American economy. While the new bridge is expected to sustain and create a large number of jobs in the United States once finished, there will be an immediate boost to the construction sector as this significant infrastructure project gets underway. In fact, the project is expected to support thousands of direct construction jobs and thousands of other indirect jobs in Michigan, a state that was hard hit by the recession and is still working to recover. The long lasting impact of the project will be felt beyond Michigan, as the entire Midwest relies on reliable transportation infrastructure at the Detroit-Windsor crossing to get goods to market.
