Congressional Happenings

As congress moves into the middle of its term, new ideas are quickly put on hold to debate and discuss improvements to existing programs. In particular, I was the senator who gave the final approval to Senator Tarik ibn Ziad's (USWP - OH) proposal to reform the government weapon companies.

I have discussed at length the reorganization and restructuring of the Congressional Infrastructure Committee and have also applied for a seat on the new Foreign Relations Advisory Committee. It is expected that new assignments for FRAC will begin in the 19th congress.

I've continued to be adamantly opposed to the lowering of eMerica's tariffs, arguing that they are detrimental to the American producer and, as such, the American worker. I will continue to protest until either positive results are seen in the American market or the current trade policies are reversed.

Also, with the help of Senators Cerb (USWP - NY) and Thomas. Anderson (USWP - CA), I have finally launched the American Health Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving Q5 healthcare across the United States. More information will soon be provided by Cerb and Thomas. Anderson and also in the "eHealth Newsletter" - the official newsletter of the American Health Foundation.

As this term continues, I promise to act in the best interests of my Virginian constituents and the citizens of the eUSA.

Sincerely,
Your senator,
Dmalicious
