Write to Washington – Ok, but How?
Write to Washington – ok, but how? Things are heating up in Washington, and overseas Americans have a great deal “on our plate”. One FAWCO objective is to expand the membership of the new Americans Abroad Caucus, but there are exciting initiatives under way regarding voting reform, alongside concerns with respect to transmission of citizenship and taxation of overseas Americans… We will regularly be encouraged to write to our Washington representatives, urging them to support legislation that directly affects us living abroad. When we do, it would be wise to keep a few things in mind: Communicating with your Elected Officials Tips On Telephoning Your Elected Representatives Email is great but it’s very effective to pick up the phone! If you do so to call a Congressional office, immediately give your name, say that you are calling from abroad but that you are a voter in X district, and ask for the staffer responsible for … (taxation, foreign relations, voting, etc.). Remember that it is staffers who research and write legislation: never underestimate the staffers! Ask to speak with the aide who handles the issue about which you wish to comment. Even Congresspersons not on a tax committee, for example, will have someone who is familiar with tax issues… Don’t feel bad if you get a voicemail box - leave a brief message, such as: "Please tell Senator/Representative (Name) that I support/oppose (S.___/H.R.___)." You will also want to state reasons for your support or opposition to the bill. Ask for your Senator's or Representative's position on the bill.

Ranking Member John Barrasso
Senate Committee Musical Chairs August 15, 2018 Key Retiring Committee Seniority over Sitting Chair/Ranking Member Viewed as Seat Republicans Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Republican Seat Viewed as Republican Seat at Risk Viewed as Seat Democrats Will Most Likely Retain Viewed as Potentially At Risk Democratic Seat Viewed as Democratic Seat at Risk Notes • The Senate Republican leader is not term-limited; Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will likely remain majority leader. The only member of Senate GOP leadership who is currently term-limited is Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-TX). • Republicans have term limits of six years as chairman and six years as ranking member. Republican members can only use seniority to bump sitting chairs/ranking members when the control of the Senate switches parties. • Committee leadership for the Senate Aging; Agriculture; Appropriations; Banking; Environment and Public Works (EPW); Health Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP); Indian Affairs; Intelligence; Rules; and Veterans Affairs Committees are unlikely to change. Notes • Current Armed Services Committee (SASC) Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) continues to receive treatment for brain cancer in Arizona. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) has served as acting chairman and is likely to continue to do so in Senator McCain’s absence. If Republicans lose control of the Senate, Senator McCain would lose his top spot on the committee because he already has six years as ranking member. • In the unlikely scenario that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) does not take over the Finance Committee, Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), who currently serves as Chairman of the Banking Committee, could take over the Finance Committee.

April 24, 2017 the Honorable Tom Cotton U.S. Senate 124 Russell
April 24, 2017 The Honorable Tom Cotton U.S. Senate 124 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable John Boozman U.S. Senate 141 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Marco Rubio U.S. Senate 284 Russell Senate Office Building Washington DC, 20510 Dear Senators Cotton, Boozman, and Rubio: The undersigned trade associations—representing collectively real estate professionals, home builders, and mortgage lenders and servicers—write today to express strong support for your recently introduced legislation, S.838, the Protecting Americans from Credit Entanglements Act of 2017. While energy efficient home improvements can be beneficial for homeowners, we have serious concerns with the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program construct. Residential PACE loans are—in substance—mortgage financing and should be subject to federal consumer protection requirements. S.838 will rightfully provide these loans the same Truth in Lending Act (TILA) consumer protections required of other mortgage products. As you know, PACE loans were developed to help finance energy efficient retrofits on real property—e.g., solar panels, energy efficient appliances and windows, etc. PACE program specifics vary by state/municipality, but typically these loans are initiated by the private companies approving contractors to make these improvements, with financing from proceeds raised by issuing municipal revenue bonds. The bonds are secured by the payments on the PACE loan obligation; the loan payments are added to the borrower’s property tax bill and then paid through property tax installments—typically over 15 or 20 years. The outstanding PACE loan obligation then runs with the property (not the borrower) going forward.

December 4, 2020 the Honorable Mitch Mcconnell the Honorable
December 4, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Leaders McConnell and Schumer: We write to express our support for addressing upcoming physician payment cuts in ongoing legislative negotiations. We believe these cuts will further strain our health care system, which is already stressed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and jeopardize patient access to medically necessary services over the long-term. On December 1, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services finalized the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for 2021. The fee schedule includes several positive attributes, including improvements for maternity care and much-needed payment increases for physicians delivering primary and other essential outpatient and office-based care to some of our nation’s most vulnerable patients. These changes should take effect on January 1, 2021, as planned. However, a statutory budget neutrality rule requires that any increases in Medicare payments for these office visits, also known as evaluation and management (E/M) services, must be offset by corresponding decreases. As a result, many practitioners including surgeons, specialists, therapists and others face substantial cuts beginning on January 1, 2021, if Congress does not take action to provide relief. Health care professionals across the spectrum are reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 emergency as they continue to serve patients during this global pandemic. The payment cuts finalized by CMS would pose a threat to providers and their patients under any circumstances, but during a pandemic the impact is even more profound.
