Today is National Human Trafficking Awareness Day -- take a moment to learn more about trafficking in our own region, learn to spot the signs of trafficking and how victims can get help by visiting the National Human Trafficking Hotline's website.

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. This crime occurs when a trafficker uses force, fraud or coercion to control another person for the purpose of engaging in commercial sex acts or soliciting labor or services against his/her will.

Thank you to all who applied to receive tickets to next weekโ€™s Presidential Inauguration. Each Congressional office received a limited number of tickets for the Swearing-In Ceremony, and due to overwhelming demand a lottery system was instituted to fairly allocate those tickets. The lottery process is now complete and each ticket recipient has been contacted directly by my staff. No more tickets will be available through our office.

Additional information regarding the Inaugural events and committees can be found at http://www.inaugural.senate.gov/. Thank you again for your interest in being a part of the 58th Presidential Inauguration on Friday, January 20, 2017.

Overwhelming bipartisan vote tonight against the anti-Israel U.N. Security Council resolution passed late last month. The U.N.'s move wasn't just anti-Israel -- it made the prospect of peace in the region less obtainable. Tonight's vote shows that despite President Obama's eleventh hour abandonment, Congress' support for the U.S.-Israel alliance is as strong as ever.

House lawmakers on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to condemn the United Nations Security Council resolution targeting Israeli settlement construction, in a pointed rebuke of President Obama and the international community. Do not be fooled, House Speaker Paul Ryan said in a rare floor speech. This UN...

Thank you to all who contacted me regarding proposed changes to the Office of Congressional Ethics. I opposed these changes when they were brought up for a vote among members of the House Republican Conference on Monday. And Iโ€™m pleased to report that these changes ultimately were not included in the rules package that Congress passed yesterday.

Iโ€™ve also opposed efforts in the past to eliminate or reduce funding for the Office of Congressional Ethics.

Pennsylvania families ...deserve to know that their elected officials are serving them honorably and ethically. As a prosecutor, I worked hard to protect the public trust by cracking down on corruption in politics.

Today, I have the privilege of serving on the House Ethics Committee, where Iโ€™m working to hold my fellow lawmakers to rigorous standards and ensure Members of Congress and staff that commit wrongdoing are held accountable.

Thank you again for contacting me on this issue.

I hope this resolution never sees the light of day and if it does, the United States should veto it. The U.N. has a long and disappointing history of bias, unfairness and invective directed at Israel. This measure would be only the latest stain on the U.N.'s record in the region. The Administration should veto this or any similar anti-Israel resolutions offered in the closing days of the Obama presidency.

Four U.N. Security Council members met on Friday to decide whether to vote on a resolution demanding an end to Israeli settlements after Egypt withdrew the measure under pressure from Israel and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

  • There should be NO Congressional Hearings on the Trump appointees un...til they individually have been properly vetted. Much can be uncovered through the vetting process. Please also support Congressman Bob Casey in his efforts to have Trump eliminate conflicts of interest prior to taking office. See More

  • Dear Congressman Meehan, I am writing you to encourage you to pay at...tention to all of the scientific evidence that informs us about the effect our practices have on the world environment, and do all you can to prevent any legislation which would destroy the progress that has been made. There is not any time left for mistakes and misjudgments. I am writing to encourage you to insist that there is a plan in place that is better than the present health system, before the present system is gutted. I am also expressing grave concern about the president-elect's collaboration with Vladimir Putin--I am alarmed that he is allowed to receive classified information because it will most likely be shared with Russia. Thank you for your consideration. I would very much like a response from you about what it is you can do in these matters.
