The U.S. House of Representatives is preparing to vote next week on whether to release all remaining documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The decision could reveal long-awaited details tied to one of the most controversial cases in recent years.
An open letter to the U.S. House of Representatives
Cosponsor H.R.4052, the National Infrastructure Bank (NIB) Act.
587 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!
I am writing to urge you to cosponsor H.R.4052, the National Infrastructure Bank (NIB) Act.
The National Infrastructure Bank would provide $5 trillion in low-cost loans for a broad range of public infrastructure projects – including massive water systems – without the need for increasing taxes or any deficit budget spending. This has been done previously in US history—this bill is modeled on the successful Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) started by President Herbert Hoover and used by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to build Hoover Dam and bring water and electricity to the Southwest.
Infrastructure investment is crucial in the US. We have an immense backlog of infrastructure needs including: affordable housing, total broadband coverage, bridge and road repair or replacement, lead service line replacement, high-speed rail, mass transit, etc. The NIB would finance all these projects—it picks up where the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act left off.
There is wide-ranging support for this. Twenty-seven state legislatures have introduced resolutions of support, and eight passed at least one chamber. Dozens of city and county councils have endorsed including: Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit, Cleveland, and many more.
Please add your name to cosponsor H.R.4052. And, many thanks again for all your work on behalf of the citizens of our state and the Nation.

Before 2018, women had never been elected for more than 84 of the 435 seats in the House. Now, when the 116th Congress convenes in January, more than 100 seats will be filled by women from both political parties. Read more about the historic midterm elections here.
JUST IN: US House votes overwhelmingly -- 419 to 3 -- for more sanctions on Russia, Iran and NKorea, and to curb Pres. Trump's authority to waive the penalties.
The bill now moves to the Senate. It remains unclear if Pres. Trump would sign or veto the bill that would put an added check on the president's power to alter the sanctions.
