| http://luetkemeyer.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=400451 | Blaines Bulletin: New Year & COVID Package | 2021-01-01 | 2021 | 2021-01 | Republican | Senate | MO | Blaine Luetkemeyer | L000569 | luetkemeyer.house.gov | legacy | On December 21, Congress passed another historic rescue package that President Trump has signed into law to aid in our nation's continued recovery and help get 2021 started off on the right foot. This bill was months in the making and, while not perfect, it contains several critical provisions that will allow us to safely reopen Missouri businesses, get students and teachers back in the classroom, and make vaccines available to at-risk individuals, medical workers, first responders, and every Missourian who wants one. First and foremost, the new law provides nearly $20 billion in health care funding for vaccine production and $8.75 billion for distribution across the county at little-to-no expense to patients. The dissemination of the vaccine is one of the final steps in helping our nation resume regular life and gives the at-risk and vulnerable populations the capability to live without fear. The law also supports families and individuals who have been hit hard by the pandemic's economic impact. While many Missourians have been able to return to work, unfortunately not everyone has had this option. Unemployment coverage has been expanded and another round of stimulus checks for individuals making under $75,000 and couples making under $150,000 began going out this week. The Child Care and Development Block Program will also be bolstered by $10 billion to help ease the burden of child care for parents whose children may not be back at school full time but are returning to work. And the Education Stabilization Fund is increased by $82 billion to provide emergency funding for schools and universities, helping our students get back to full-time, in-person learning and making sure they are equipped for difficult situations moving forward. For the many farmers and ranchers who call the Third District home, the USDA's Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) will receive more funding to help those whose operations have been interrupted by the pandemic. While schools were closed, lack of broadband access caused a ma… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | ||
| https://hartzler.house.gov/media-center/in-the-news/we-will-object | We Will Object | 2021-01-01 | 2021 | 2021-01 | Republican | Senate | MO | Vicky Hartzler | H001053 | hartzler.house.gov | legacy | Next week, your 117th United States Congress will convene for the first time. After the election of Speaker and the adoption of the Rules of Congress, the action will quickly move to reading aloud the electoral votes submitted by each state from this past November's election - counting them, and declaring the vote tally for President and Vice President. During that process, the question will be put before your elected officials - does anyone object to the certification of electoral votes of a state. We will object. Our hope is that others will join us. We don't take this decision lightly, but we must protect the integrity of each vote cast by every law-abiding Missourian. For every instance of Georgia failing to follow its own state law in verifying signatures, of Pennsylvania accepting mail ballots after the legal deadline set by its state legislature, or folks from outside Nevada casting a ballot in that state - the value of every Missourians' vote is diminished. That's not right. And we cannot simply look the other way. The right to freely cast your vote in elections is a sacred privilege afforded to us as Americans because of the sacrifices of the patriots who fought for that right. When that process is spoiled and abused by officials not following their own state law, it violates that right and jeopardizes the entire integrity and foundation of 'free and fair' elections. In such instances, where voting process changes are made without the consent of the voter, we know it is our duty and our obligation to serve as a backstop to protect the power of one person, one vote - to protect your vote as a Missourian. We must be able to have confidence in not only the agreement and expectation that this election would follow the law, but future ones will as well. We take the responsibility of upholding the Constitution seriously, and that is why we feel compelled to object to the electoral count taking place on January 6th. The reported results of this past November's Presidential election don't even pass the most basi… | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
