EmailTemplate-Responsive <[link removed]> Dear John??
Good Saturday morning.

This past month has been filled with a lot of noise coming out of Washington.
We had the impeachment trial of President Trump that amounted to nothing more
than a political distraction, and we had a COVID-19 ?Relief? bill introduced in
Congress that is chock full of liberal wish list items. With all of this going
on, I wanted to give you an update on several of the most important things from
this past month that I want to be sure you don?t miss. COVID-19 Vaccines

Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the COVID-19 vaccine clinic
<[link removed]> at the
Marshall County Health Department. They are administering the Moderna vaccine
to hundreds of people every day. The day I was there they gave more than 600
people their second dose. It was great to see that Congressionally approved
funds for vaccine research has now resulted in real vaccinations in our
district. It is my hope that by the middle of 2021, everyone who wants to
receive the COVID-19 vaccine will have been able to do so.

COVID-19 "Relief" Bill


President Biden and Democrat leadership created a massive $1.9 trillion
spending bill, calling it ?COVID-19 Relief?. To be clear, this spending bill is
a far cry from being actual financial relief related to COVID. When you break
down the figures, it is roughly $1 trillion that goes toward liberal wish list
items rather than areas that could actually use help.

Here are just a few of the crazier items put into this spending bill under
the pretense that it is ?COVID-19 Relief?:


* $220 billion designated specifically for states with high unemployment
numbers. Meaning that states like New York and California that have shut down
their economies get a massive bailout, while Republican led states where
businesses were allowed to open will get close to nothing. (California had some
of the most strict Covid lockdown measures, yet still had extremly large
positive rates.)
* $185 billion to bail out mismanaged pension plans with no reform required.
* $129 billion toward elementary and secondary schools, and $40 billion to
higher education. At a time when help is needed to reopen our schools now, it
is unacceptable that 95% of this ?relief? will be spent between 2022 and 2028 ?
well after the pandemic is over.
* $50 billion for FEMA.
* $39 billion will go towards childcare.
* $30 billion for public transit.
* $1.5 billion for Amtrak.
* $1 billion in world food assistance.
* $1.5 million for the ?Seaway International Bridge?, which happens to be a
priority for Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer. While these are just a few
examples of the billions that have nothing to do with COVID-19 relief, there
are many other provisions that fall along this same line.?


Rural Broadband

As many of you probably know, rural broadband is one of my top legislative
priorities in Congress. For years I have been fighting to ensure that rural
America gets the same quality of broadband that the rest of America has, and
it?s a fight I will not stop until we finally get rural broadband done.

Two weeks ago, I sent out an online survey to the 4th Congressional District
to gather additional data about your access to broadband. Thanks to the 1,600+
responses, there is now data on this issue for our community. For those of you
who were able to participate, thank you! The valuable responses you sent in
will go a long way in my continuing fight, and I plan to use these figures in
the halls of Congress to push rural broadband to the forefront of legislative
action. Here are a few of the highlights:




I hope you have a good weekend, even though it's going to be a rainy one.
