Dear Friend, This week we saw the inauguration of Joe Biden as America’s 46th president, and the end of President Trump’s term. Over the last four years we have seen a lot of big steps taken to move our country forward. President Trump’s policies resulted in the creation of some 7 million new jobs prior to the outbreak of the Wuhan Coronavirus in Communist China last March. Middle class families saw thousands of dollars in additional income, sweeping tax and regulatory changes that expanded opportunity for small businesses and record low jobless rates – including for women, African-Americans, Asian-Americans and Latinos. President Trump also delivered relief for millions of Americans struggling under the overbearing restrictions imposed by Obamacare – rescinding the “individual mandate.”

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 is returning from its August break for a rare Saturday session tomorrow. But Speaker Pelosi is not bringing lawmakers back to the Capitol to help local school districts trying to get kids back into classrooms, or to provide common-sense liability protections from junk lawsuits that Main Street businesses need as they struggle to get back on their feet in the wake of costly, government-mandated closures. Instead, the House of Representatives will take up a misguided bailout of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) – an effort driven in large part by conspiracy theories that permeated into our social media feeds and fueled slanted news coverage earlier this week. Unfortunately, this barrage of misinformation has tainted serious discussions about reasonable postal reform.
