Greetings from Pennsylvania!

I am just coming down from the excitement of being with many, many dear friends at CPAC. Thanks to Mercedes and Matt Schlapp, thousands of conservatives gathered in Maryland at the National Harbor and we heard from former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former governor and presidential hopeful Nikky Haley, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and former President Donald J. Trump. While the first three candidates were brief, President Trump’s speech was a magnum opus that laid out his intended policies.

I recently returned from speaking to Caribbean and Latin American parliamentarians, business owners, and security partners at an intelligence and security forum in Panama and asked them to choose the US over China as a trading partner.

Pennsylvania continues to be without an active senator while John Fetterman remains in the hospital for mental health treatment. I have publicly called for Governor Josh Shapiro to appoint a new senator to capably and competently represent Pennsylvania in the Senate. This is the most dangerous period in our lifetime, and we need a great representative to help build our country back from the pandemic and keep us safe from the many foreign and domestic threats. Depending on when Governor Shapiro replaces the incapacitated senator, we should have an election in 2023 or 2024 to replace John Fetterman.

One of the exciting new efforts that the Center for Energy & Environment at the AFPI is committed to is Twitter Space. Our Twitter Spaces have been well attended and have had energy experts and folks that are concerned about the administration’s efforts to de-bank and discourage the use of fossil fuels and fund, through tax dollars a transition to renewable energy that is not yet developed enough to power our country and economy.

I learned this week that the Pennsylvania GOP is working on a ballot program so that we win elections in 2023 and 2024. If you are in Pennsylvania, I hope you support the candidates for Judge so that we elect good and fair judges, especially the State Supreme Court.

Warmly,
Carla Sands
US Ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark (ret.)

“Upholding the rule of law is essential to maintaining our Republic and our rights as a free people.”


** Protecting and Upholding our Second Amendment RIGHTS
------------------------------------------------------------
The Biden Administration and liberal activists across the Nation continue to assault our Second Amendment rights. The recent surge in violent crime is making the streets of America increasingly unsafe. In the last year alone, the rates of assault, murder, robbery, and rape have risen anywhere from five to forty percent in many communities around the Nation, coming on the heels of unprecedented escalations in 2020. When the state of public safety is in peril, citizens must be able to defend themselves and their families against criminals and those who seek to do them harm. This basic principle is consistent with America’s historic commitment to freedom and equality, enshrined in the Nation’s founding documents.

The Center for Law & Justice is taking the fight to defend our Second Amendment rights HEAD ON. Check out our latest products below and learn how YOU can help defend this unique, sacred AMERICAN right.

How Can States Defend Their Second Amendment Rights? The Answer is Constitutional Carry

Constitutional carry, or permitless carry, codifies the right of law-abiding citizens to carry a handgun—open and/or concealed carry—without a permit. 25 states have already enacted Constitutional Carry legislation, with more states introducing bills to protect their citizens’ 2A rights.

Is the Left’s Plan to Ban “Assault Weapons” the Cure to Ending Violence? AFPI Sets the Record Straight

The current administration’s proposed remedy to addressing the unprecedented rise in crime across the Nation is to pursue another assault weapons ban, but research suggests a ban will not be the cure to America’s crime crisis.
