Dear Friend,
We hope you are enjoying a happy and healthy Holiday Season as we prepare to celebrate Christmas and usher in the New Year.
Lawmakers remain in Washington, working on an end-of-year funding package that is unfortunately being held up by a special interest push to force working families across the country to fund bailouts of state and local governments who have strangled their tax base with job-killing lockdowns and spent far too much for far too long.

Dear Friend,
America spent much of this week reflecting on the life and legacy of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who sadly passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer. Justice Ginsburg’s distinguished legal career spanned more than six decades, following the trail blazed by America’s first woman to serve on the high court, Sandra Day O’Connor. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

Dear Friend,
Congress reconvened this week for legislative business. Unfortunately, the focus seemed to be more about activity and less about accomplishment. Senate Democrats blocked an effort to pass a limited coronavirus relief package that included additional Paycheck Protection Program funds and common-sense liability protection for hospitals, health-care workers, businesses, schools churches and non-profits as well as assistance for displaced workers. Instead of advancing this targeted and temporary effort to help American families, they chose to filibuster it.

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany (WI-07) introduced legislation calling for the U.S. to resume formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan, and end the outdated and counter-productive “One China Policy.” The bill also directs the U.S. administration to support Taiwan’s membership in international organizations, and to initiate negotiations with Taipei on crafting a bilateral, U.S.-Taiwan Free Trade Agreement.
