Photos from Jamaal Addison Post Office Dedication

Posted by: Office Staff (September 08, 2008, 03:05 PM)

Hank Johnson, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, lead the designation event for the Specialist Jamaal RaShard Addison Post Office (Lithonia Post Office) on August 2, 2008.

The Congressman introduced and passed the bill renaming the Post Office to honor all Georgians killed in Iraq but named it for Specialist Addison because he was the first Georgian slain.

Specialist Addison died on March 23, 2003 when his convoy was ambushed. A former honor student at Lakeside High School in Tucker, he served with the 507th Army Ordnance Maintenance Company in Fort Bliss, Texas.

Photo from one-day delegation to Haiti

Posted by: Office Staff (June 02, 2008, 11:42 AM)

Hank visited Haiti on Friday, May 16, for a single-day Congressional delegation to examine that country's dire poverty crisis and ensure that U.S. aid is effectively assisting the many destitute Haitians who are struggling to survive every day.

Haiti is one of the world's poorest countries. An estimated 80% of the population lives below the poverty line amid widespread unemployment; more than two-thirds of the workforce are jobless. As global food prices have risen dramatically over the past year, many Haitians' struggles to survive have become more dire.

The U.S. Government is Haiti's largest donor and has provided over a billion dollars over the last 15 years to reduce poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition, and crime. Hank and his colleagues flew to Haiti to ensure that American aid was reaching its targets and effectively easing the lives of the poorest Haitians. (Click here for more information regarding U.S. assistance to Haiti.)

Below is a photo of Hank (far left) and his Congressional colleagues with Haiti's President, René Preval (center, with white beard).



Accompanying Hank on the delegation were Congressman André Carson, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, Congressman Keith Ellison, Congressman Al Green, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee, Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, Congressman Gregory Meeks, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, Congresswoman Diane Watson, and Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard.

Photos from Congressional Delegation to Colombia

Posted by: Office Staff (April 23, 2008, 12:01 PM)

Hank and several colleagues visited Colombia two weeks ago as part of an official Congressional delegation to prepare for the legislative debate surrounding the proposed U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

Hank opposes the deal due to President Bush's refusal to sign into law trade adjustment assistance for Americans threatened by international trade, the FTA's insufficient labor standards for Colombian workers, and the deal's potential effects on poor Afro-Colombians who may be driven off of their land as multinational companies seek to exploit Colombian natural resources.

Here are some photos from the trip.

Photos from Hank's Trip to Iraq & Afghanistan

Posted by: Office Staff (August 28, 2007, 02:20 PM)

Last April, Hank was a member of a congressional delegation that visited Iraq and Afghanistan.

Upon his return, Hank said, "Following the trip I have an even deeper appreciation for our citizenship and the awesome responsibility facing our troops and the families they leave behind. My position regarding Iraq is perhaps firmer and I am absolutely certain that we must set limits on funding and establish deadlines to extract our service personnel as soon as possible."

Here are photos from that trip.
