WASHINGTON – If you want to see the pressure the impeachment of President Donald Trump is putting on Democratic House candidates who are trying to win in Re- publican districts, look at Christina Hale (pictured left). Hours before the Demo- cratic-majority House voted almost strictly along party lines Wednes- day night to impeach Trump, Hale, a candidate for the Democratic nomination in the 5th CD, put out a careful statement. She alluded to Trump’s efforts to withhold military aid from Ukraine – and deny President Volodymyr Zelensky a White House visit -- unless the country launched an in- vestigation of former vice president Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, the abuse of power that was at the center of the first article of impeachment. She also referenced Trump’s obstruction of Congress, which constituted the second article of impeachment. The House approved the first article, 230-197, Continued on page 4 The education battlefield By CRAIG DUNN KOKOMO – The casual observer of the recent “Red for Ed” teacher action day probably believes that it was very successful.

Washington St. Indianapolis, IN 46204 Re: COVID-19 Response moving forward Governor Holcomb, We want to thank you for the actions you have taken to mitigate the spread of the virus in our state. Our continued actions will hopefully continue to flatten the curve of this virus's spread. Although we do see many Hoosiers staying home to keep people healthy, the continued fight against COVID- 19 has revealed new concerns that we must face together as state leaders. We ultimately want to address three serious concerns: the issue of worker safety, the distribution of PPE across the state and the composition of your Economic Relief and Recovery Team. Your executive order 20-18 made it clear that essential businesses can stay open but must follow social distancing and other CDC guidelines to promote a safe, healthy workplace. These include spacing employees at least six feet apart, providing hand sanitizer and separating vulnerable popu- lations. Unfortunately, a growing number of our constituents are reporting that their workplaces are not following the guidelines in the Executive Order, making them unsafe places at this time. Em- ployees are being forced to work within close proximity of each other, and masks are either not re- quired or not allowed. The evidence of this noncompliance is clear. For example, COVID-19 is spreading rapidly through our steel plants, with cases growing each day.

  • Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515
    Congress of the United States Washington, DC 20515 June 14, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House H-232, The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Madam Speaker: We write today to urge you to fully reopen the House of Representatives. The positive impact of increasing vaccination rates and decreasing cases of COVID-19 are clear to see. Businesses are open, sporting venues and cultural institutions have welcomed back fans and visitors, and restrictions have been lifted. On June 11, Washington D.C. fully reopened and lifted the restrictions put in place to stop the spread of COVID-19. Unfortunately, the United States Capitol and the People’s House have failed to do the same. The Capitol remains closed to the American people and the House continues to maintain policies that run contrary to science of COVID-19. It is time for you to reopen the House and get back to serving the American people. Weekly case numbers in the United States have reached their lowest point since March of 2020 at the very start of the pandemic, and every day hundreds of thousands of Americans are being vaccinated. This also holds true for the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and the Capitol Hill community specifically. Over the last two weeks cases are down 36% in Washington D.C. and over 40% in both Virginia and Maryland. On Capitol Hill, no congressional staffer is known to have tested positive in weeks and no Member of Congress is known to have tested positive in months. This can no doubt be attributed to the institution’s steady access to vaccinations.
