  • June 4, 2020 William Barr Attorney General United States Department
    June 4, 2020 William Barr Attorney General United States Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20530 Attorney General Barr: On Monday, we watched as police officers used flashbangs, tear gas, and rubber munitions against a peaceful protest across the street from the White House. Hundreds of law-abiding American citizens had gathered to protest the murder of George Floyd, an unarmed African American man who died last week in Minneapolis under the knee of a police officer. We could not understand why such aggressive tactics were being used – a whole 30 minutes before the District of Columbia’s curfew was set to go into effect – until we saw the President, yourself, and several senior White House officials walk through the site of the protest to film a cynical, political propaganda video that the White House later released through social media. The use of these measures for such a contemptuous purpose would be reason for condemnation on its own. However, the Washington Post reported yesterday that you were responsible for this reprehensible display. As you know, the First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” This appears to have been violated given the fact that no order to disperse was issued, no violence had been reported, and it was still 30 minutes before curfew. The Supreme Court has held that “expression on public issues ‘has always rested on the highest rung of the hierarchy of First Amendment values’" (NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co.), and that “debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open" (New York Times Co.

    August 10, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Steny Hoyer Speaker Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader Hoyer, As we advance legislation to rebuild and renew America’s infrastructure, we encourage you to continue your commitment to combating the climate crisis by including critical clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives in the upcoming infrastructure package. These incentives will play a critical role in America’s economic recovery, alleviate some of the pollution impacts that have been borne by disadvantaged communities, and help the country build back better and cleaner. The clean energy sector was projected to add 175,000 jobs in 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic upended the industry and roughly 300,000 clean energy workers were still out of work in the beginning of 2021.1 Clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation tax incentives are an important part of bringing these workers back. It is critical that these policies support strong labor standards and domestic manufacturing. The importance of clean energy tax policy is made even more apparent and urgent with record- high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, unprecedented drought across the West, and the impacts of tropical storms felt up and down the East Coast. We ask that the infrastructure package prioritize inclusion of a stable, predictable, and long-term tax platform that: Provides long-term extensions and expansions to the Production Tax Credit and Investment Tax Credit to meet President Biden’s goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035; Extends and modernizes tax incentives for commercial and residential energy efficiency improvements and residential electrification; Extends and modifies incentives for clean transportation options and alternative fuel infrastructure; and Supports domestic clean energy, energy efficiency, and clean transportation manufacturing.

  • 1 April 2, 2020 the Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House Of
    April 2, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives H-232, United States Capitol Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi: We are grateful for your tireless work to address the needs of all Americans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic, and for your understanding of the tremendous burdens that have been borne by localities as they work to respond to this crisis and keep their populations safe. However, we are concerned that the COVID-19 relief packages considered thus far have not provided direct funding to stabilize smaller counties, cities, and towns—specifically, those with populations under 500,000. As such, we urge you to include direct stabilization funding to such localities in the next COVID-19 response bill, or to lower the threshold for direct funding through the Coronavirus Relief Fund to localities with smaller populations. Many of us represent districts containing no or few localities with populations above 500,000. Like their larger neighbors, though, these smaller counties, cities, and towns have faced enormous costs while responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. These costs include deploying timely public service announcements to keep Americans informed, rapidly activating emergency operations, readying employees for telework to keep services running, and more. This work is essential to keeping our constituents safe and mitigating the spread of the coronavirus as effectively as possible. We fear that, without targeted stabilization funding, smaller localities will be unable to continue providing these critical services to our constituents at the rate they are currently. We applaud you for including a $200 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund as part of H.R.

Cathy McMorris Rogers Ranking Member Ranking Member U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, U.S. House Committee on Energy and Science, & Transportation Commerce Re: Consumer Protection and Recovery Act (H.R. 2668) Dear Speaker Pelosi, Minority Leader McCarthy, Chair Cantwell, Chairman Pallone, Jr., Ranking Member Wicker, and Ranking Member McMorris Rogers: As the leading antitrust and consumer protection officers in our respective States, we write to express our strong support for the Consumer Protection and Recovery Act, H.R. 2668 (“Act”), which will ensure the ability of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) to obtain equitable monetary relief and redress harms to consumers impacted by fraud or anticompetitive conduct. We applaud the Act’s goal of redressing harms suffered by victims of anticompetitive, unfair, or deceptive trade practices, and its application to FTC cases that are currently in litigation. The Act is essential to prevent the severe harm to consumers that will result from the Supreme Court’s recent decision in AMG Capital Management, LLC, et al. v. Federal Trade Commission,1 which held that the FTC lacks the authority to obtain equitable monetary relief through its Section 13(b) enforcement actions.2 The AMG decision upends four decades of FTC practice and seriously undermines the FTC’s efforts to combat fraud and other anticompetitive or unfair trade practices.

    Congress of the United States Washington D.C. 20515 April 29, 2020 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the House Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives H-232, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: As Congress continues to work on economic relief legislation in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we ask that you address the challenges faced by the U.S. scientific research workforce during this crisis. While COVID-19 related-research is now in overdrive, most other research has been slowed down or stopped due to pandemic-induced closures of campuses and laboratories. We are deeply concerned that the people who comprise the research workforce – graduate students, postdocs, principal investigators, and technical support staff – are at risk. While Federal rules have allowed researchers to continue to receive their salaries from federal grant funding, their work has been stopped due to shuttered laboratories and facilities and many researchers are currently unable to make progress on their grants. Additionally, researchers will need supplemental funding to support an additional four months’ salary, as many campuses will remain shuttered until the fall, at the earliest. Many core research facilities – typically funded by user fees – sit idle. Still, others have incurred significant costs for shutting down their labs, donating the personal protective equipment (PPE) to frontline health care workers, and cancelling planned experiments. Congress must act to preserve our current scientific workforce and ensure that the U.S.

  • House Support for Medicare for All Growing but Still Needs to Catch up with Voters Last Updated March 22, 2021
    House Support for Medicare for All Growing But Still Needs to Catch Up with Voters Last updated March 22, 2021 Support for Medicare for All in the House of Representatives has grown in recent years. On March 17, 2021, Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Debbie Dingell introduced the Medicare for All Act of 2021 with a record 112 original cosponsors. The Medicare for All Act of 2019 (H.R. 1384) ended the 116th Congress with a total of 118 cosponsors and four congressional hearings. However, Members of Congress are still far behind the general public. While only one in four House Members have cosponsored the Medicare or All Act, voters consistently favor Medicare for All in public polling. This gap between Members and their constituents shows up in all the key committees that may consider Medicare for All in the House. Strong and Growing Public Support for Medicare for All Support for Medicare for All is strong across the country. A national exit poll from the 2020 general election found that 72 percent of Americans are in favor of switching to a government-run healthcare plan like Medicare for All. A Kaiser Family Foundation tracking poll found that Medicare or All consistently had majority support from June 2017 to January 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased support for Medicare for All. A Morning Consult poll found that “more than two in five U.S. adults say the outbreak has increased their likelihood of supporting universal health care proposals where the government would provide all Americans with health insurance,” including one in four Republicans and 34 percent of independents.

  • House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA-1)
    House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA-1) Steve Scalise proudly represents the First Congressional District of Louisiana, stretching from the beautiful Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain and the culturally distinct New Orleans suburbs to the vibrant bayous and wetlands abundant in natural resources. He was elected to Congress in 2008 after serving in the Louisiana State Legislature from 1996-2008. He serves his colleagues as the House Republican Whip, the second highest position in House Republican leadership. Scalise is a strong leader who upholds the Constitution, advocating for the principles of fiscal discipline, lower taxes, a robust national defense, and conservative values. Scalise is effective at working with Republican and Democrat colleagues to pass legislation on issues important to Louisiana. A steadfast defender of Louisiana’s coast, Scalise led the effort in the House to pass the RESTORE Act, which was signed into law in July 2012. The RESTORE Act dedicated the vast majority of Clean Water Act fines from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill to coastal restoration. This legislation is widely regarded as the single most significant action taken to restore Louisiana’s coast. Whip Scalise also is a strong supporter of revenue sharing and leads the fight in Washington to protect Louisiana’s GOMESA funding, ensuring that Louisiana has access to the hundreds of millions of dollars dedicated to restoring our coast. Date of Birth: October 6, 1965 Critically wounded at a Congressional baseball practice on June 14, 2017, Scalise was saved by a heroic response from U.S. Capitol Police Special Agents and Alexandria Police Officers. Scalise fought for his life and returned to Congress, inspiring the nation with his resilience and optimism.
