• Tell Congress and the Administration: Investigate Secretary Price’s Scandalous Stock Purchases
    Despite Tom Price's scandalous stock purchases, Senate Republicans confirmed his nomination in the dark of night and put him in charge of our healthcare, knowing full well he intends to repeal the Affordable Care Act and destroy Medicare and Medicaid. But the fight does not end here. We need an independent investigation of how Price used his position in Congress to make himself richer and America poorer and sicker, and ongoing oversight and accountability to ensure he doesn't use his new position as Secretary of Health and Human Services to enrich himself even more. Since Congress didn’t properly vet Tom Price, these agencies can and should: • Government Accountability Office • Securities Exchange Commission • Office of Congressional Ethics • Health and Human Services Inspector General • Department of Justice Inspector General • Department of Justice • Federal Bureau of Investigation • Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Congress can still make this right - these committees can and should investigate Secretary Price: • House Oversight and Government Reform Committee • Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Here's a refresher on Tom Price's ethically dubious activities: • When the Obama Administration introduced a rule to make cancer and arthritis treatments cheaper, Price co-sponsored legislation to block the changes. Meanwhile, he had invested between $6,000-$90,000 in the six companies that opposed Obama’s rule. • When a regulation was proposed to improve Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements for hip and knee implants, Price delayed the regulation. Turns out, only 48 hours earlier, he had bought $15,000 of stock in Zimmer Biomet that would have suffered from the new rule. Zimmer Biomet then donated to Price’s campaign. • Despite telling the Finance Committee, he only purchased shares of Innate Immunotherapies that were open to everyone, he actually got a special deal given to only 20 US investors. Four months later, he voted for legislation to benefit the company, a potential violation of the STOCK Act. • In May 2016, Price introduced a law to block changes to Medicare reimbursements to make walkers and hospital beds cheaper. A week later, he purchased $15,000 of shares in Blackstone which owns Apria that sells this equipment– lining his own pockets. • Who knows what else he could be hiding? Since 2012, he’s traded over $300,000 in shares of 40 health-related companies, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis.

  • Stop HR 482 & SB 103 Local Zoning Decisions Protection Act of 2017
    The proposed bill will undermine academic research working on social and racial justice topics. Not only would the creation of new Federal geospatial databases on racial disparities be prohibited, so too would access to existing geospatial information of this sort and the use of Federal funds from agencies such as the National Science Foundation to study such data. As written, this represents a direct attack on the ability of geographers and others to produce actionable and policy-relevant research on racial disparities in this country.

  • Have Senator Rand Paul have a public town hall meeting with Kentuckians.
    It is time for the Kentuckians to have a voice within the Senate. Both Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul need to be doing things that actually align with the views of Kentucky. Senator Paul should have a town hall meeting with his constituents so he can vote and produce bills that actually align with our views.

  • Rep Lee Zeldin needs to hold an open and accessible town hall
    Despite numerous attempts by many of his constituents to reach out to him and request for the town hall to be rescheduled we have received no promise that he will hold one and in fact we have only received replies of fabricated events of harassment and violence as reasons he will not have a town hall.
