Diana Gonzalez Dear Committees on Appropriations and Ways & Means, Rep. Sandy Haas Rep. Mary Hooper We urge you to regain lost ground for the low-income Weatherization Rep. Willem Jewett Assistance Programs (WAPs). As you know, it is estimated we have Rep. Martin LaLonde 125,000 Vermonters living in "fuel poverty." The average household that gets weatherized saves $400 — $600 a year, every year. For every $1 Rep. Diane Lanpher invested in this program $2.51 is returned to the household and Sen. Mark MacDonald community. Rep. Linda Martin Rep. Jim Masland Since ARRA and GMP merger money have dried up, funding for the Rep. Curt McCormack program has been a scramble. In FY16 the total funding dropped from $12 million to $9 million. With lower fuel prices and reduced Sen. Dick McCormack consumption thanks to a mild winter, a straight re-authorization of the Rep. Jim McCullough gross receipts tax wouldn't even keep pace with the governor's Rep. Kiah Morris recommended appropriation. Rep. Betty Nuovo Rep. Jean O'Sullivan As you are likely aware, last year's drop in funding resulted in a loss of Rep. Avram Patt 65 highly skilled, good-paying jobs and greatly reduced capacity. Furthermore, we are failing to use the investments Vermont has made in Rep.

  • Forum: a Child of an Era of Fear
    Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2018 11:20 AM To: Maxine Grad Subject: Bob Williamson shares Hailey Napier's powerful letter from the VALLEY NEWS Dear Chair Maxine Grad, Below is Hailey Napier’s letter from the VALLEY NEWS. Hailey eloquently expresses how today’s youngsters feel when mass shootings occur and lawmakers do little to address the lethal problem. Best, Bob Williamson…And here’s the letter: http://www.vnews.com/ Forum: A Child of an Era of Fear When I was 12 years old, I began scanning for exits at every movie theater I went to and carefully thought through escape scenarios as the previews played. I assessed the space between the seats and the floor. Would I be able to crawl between the armrest and the wall unseen? That was the year of the Aurora shooting. If you don’t remember the details, 12 people were murdered in a Century 16 theater in Aurora, Colo.. They were watching The Dark Knight Rises. I had begged to see the movie myself, and as I read the headlines online, I realized that innocent people had died, and that I could easily have been one of them. I am a child of an era of fear. Born almost exactly a year after Columbine, I grew up with the pitch black, unspoken terror of lockdown drills. Hiding in corners and closets and behind desks, as if turning the lights off will convince a killer that school’s been canceled on a Tuesday in May; as if a bookshelf will protect me from the rain of bullets driven by some arbitrary vendetta against society.

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez People Power Meme Co-Op 9/17/18, 719 AM
    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez People Power Meme Co-Op 9/17/18, 719 AM The names of all 626 Berniecrats who have won primaries so far in 2018! WARREN LYNCH · WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 2018 For all ye doubters (especially those working at NPR) who keep saying that the Berniecrats and progressives are “losing” the 2018 primaries! There are 626 names here, and 82 of them in FEDERAL races! The number of seated progressives is about to at least TRIPLE this November, so don’t believe the hype! (updated 9/16/18) The list is now annotated! People have been asking me for ages: “WHY do these people count as Berniecrats?” So now there’s a key, from most left-leaning to most moderate: (DSA) - endorsed by Democratic Socialists of America, the leftist group that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a member of. (even to the left of Bernie!) (Bernie) - endorsed by Bernie personally (LB) - endorsed by Local Berniecrats, a grassroots group with no money that started on the Internet with the goal of making Bernie’s down-ballot dream come true (OR) - endorsed by Our Revolution, either national or a local branch. The organization started by Bernie Sanders. (W) - personally endorsed by me, Warren Lynch. This candidate is a person I know personally, and I vouch for them that they are a progressive. (JD) - endorsed by Justice Democrats, the group run by The Young Turks (PCCC) - endorsed by, or my friend from, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, the progressive group which sent me to DC to learn stuff. Some of their candidates are a bit moderate or not Berniecrats per se, but all are strong bold progressives.
