The filibuster received a lot of attention for failing to address the military’s controversial don’t-ask-don’t-tell policy for gays. But it also sidelined legislation introduced by U.S. Rep.

"This project will improve an environmentally-sensitive area that is home to a wide array of plant and animal life in addition to the joggers and bikers who use Four Mile Run park," Moran said. The 20-acre Four Mile Run watershed spreads across Fairfax County, the city of Falls Church, Arlington County, and the city of Alexandria. In 2000, citizens from Arlington and Alexandria began looking at ways to improve flood control, clean up the watershed in their area and enhance and beautify the appearance of the park. Moran was able to secure one million dollars in funding in fiscal year 2001, available through the Environmental Protection Agency, for "the http://moran.house.gov/issues2.cfm?id=6374 2/18/2004 Congressman Jim Moran's Website Page 2 of 3 demonstration of environmental improvements to the Four Mile Run." Both localities applied for and were accepted to receive the EPA grant funds. A citizen task force was then created to work with the city and county to study, design, and complete a project that will greatly improve the Four Mile Run for generations to come.

    July 21 ,2020 Honorable Edward Markey United States Senate Washington, D. C. 20510 Dear Senator Markey: We are writing as national and state consumer and public interest leaders and advocates who have spent our careers advancing public health, safety, consumer and environmental protection policies in Congress, the Executive Branch, the Courts and the State of Massachusetts. We want to thank you for your lifetime of instrumental work in Massachusetts and in the U.S. Congress, writing laws and forcing issuance of regulations for social justice, public health, safe and affordable transportation, environmental sustainability, a fair marketplace, investor protection, public access to electronic communications, public access to the courts, and personal privacy. A group of us analyzed your record and we have attached our list of your most notable achievements. In all these areas, you are one of the greatest leaders and legislators in Congress. In addition, we appreciate your latest work advocating for healthcare as a right, for preserving the advances under the Affordable Care Act while pressing for Medicare for All, and your focus on emergency measures for families ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, the cutting-edge “Green New Deal” you proposed with freshman Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has given new hope to a generation of young activists demanding that the existential threat of the climate crisis be addressed immediately and urgently. This is a realistic plan, defined by your determination to transform our job-shrinking fossil fuel economy into a job-building renewable fuel economy. These are just some recent examples of your advocacy of innovative solutions to deeply embedded problems regardless of the powerful, aggressive special interests that may oppose your remedies.
