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.
Thank you to all who applied to receive tickets to next weekโs 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.
In honor of #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay I'm displaying these blue lights in my office window to show solidarity with the men and women of law enforcement who put their lives on the line to protect our communities.
Inauguration Ticket Update: Our lottery drawing is complete and my staff is in the process of notifying ticket recipients. Demand for tickets was tremendous and unfortunately far outpaced the supply. Weโll be picking up the tickets later today, and instructions for distribution next week will follow.
Honoring all the men and women of law enforcement this #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay
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.
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 Iโm pleased to report that these changes ultimately were not included in the rules package that Congress passed yesterday.
Iโve 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 Iโm 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.
Some high-quality programming on World War I going on this month at the Haverford Township Free Library, made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
I voted against the proposed changes to the House's Office of Congressional Ethics last night and I was pleased to see them removed from the House Rules package that will be adopted later today.
Wishing you and your family a safe, happy and prosperous 2017. Happy New Years!
Tragic news. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
As we celebrate Christmas, please take a moment to remember the dedicated American men and women spending today apart from their families. Whether you're serving in uniform overseas or a first responder or member of law enforcement here at home, thank you for everything you do to keep our community and our country safe this holiday season.
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.
An important read in the Reading Eagle on how Obamacare just isn't working for Pennsylvania families.

- 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.
