Dear
Friends,
Thank
you
for
subscribing
to
my
weekly
e-newsletter,
and
please
remember
to

Attacks
in
Minnesota,
New
Jersey
and
New
York
I
am
certainly
thankful
that
no
innocent
loss
of
life
occurred
due
to
these
heinous
attacks
this
weekend,
and
my
heart
and
prayers
remain
with
those
injured
and
their
families.
With
ISIS
claiming
responsibility
for
stabbings
in
Minnesota,
and
authorities
detaining
a
person
of
interest
related
to
multiple
bombs
placed
around
New
York
and
New
Jersey,
it
is
clearer
than
ever
that
we
must
remain
vigilant
in
the
fight
against
those
who
seek
to
harm
us.
I
offer
my
sincerest
thanks
and
gratitude
to
our
law
enforcement
officers
who
put
their
lives
on
the
line
this
weekend,
today
and
every
day
to
protect
us
all.
Defeating
ISIS
and
groups
who
share
similar
goals
is
absolutely
essential
to
keeping
our
nation
and
our
people
safe,
and
I
will
continue
working
to
ensure
we
are
doing
everything
possible
to
do
so.
Keep
Terrorists
in
Gitmo
Last
week,
President
Obama’s
Director
of
National
Intelligence
admitted
that
more
Gitmo
detainees
have
rejoined
Islamic
militant
groups.
Despite
this
fact,
the
President
continues
to
push
for
the
closure
of
Gitmo
and
in
essence,
the
endangerment
of
American
citizens. I
applaud
my
colleagues
in
the
House
of
Representatives
for
passing
H.R.
5351,
which
prohibits
the
transfer
of
any
detainee
held
at
Guantanamo
Bay.
Without
a
doubt,
Gitmo
is
the
only
secure
place
for
us
to
house
the
worst
criminals
in
the
world,
which
is
why
I
worked
with
Senator
Steve
Daines
(R-MT)
to
introduce
the
companion
bill
in
the
Senate
(S.
2999).
I
refuse
to
let
Americans
to
be
put
unnecessarily
at
risk
and
will
continue
to
fight
to
keep
Gitmo
open.
Deepening
of
the
Port
of
Charleston
In
South
Carolina,
1
out
of
11
jobs
is
connected
to
the
port
and
its
prosperity.
Understandably,
as
ships
evolve
and
get
bigger,
we
must
find
ways
to
ensure
that
our
port
is
able
to
accommodate
them.
In
order
to
guarantee
that
our
port
stays
at
the
forefront
of
progress,
I
voted
for
the Water
Resources
Development
Act
(WRDA),
which
includes
authorization
for
the
Charleston
Harbor
Deepening
Project.
The
bill
now
heads
to
the
U.S.
House
of
Representatives
for
a
vote,
where
I
hope
it
will
pass.
Proud
to
be
a
Conservative!
I
am
proud
to
receive
the
Conservative
Excellence
Award
from
the
American
Conservative
Union
for
the
3rd
consecutive
year
today.
I
genuinely
believe
conservative
solutions
will
bring
real
change
to
America,
and
I
will
continue
fighting
for
conservative
policies
that
will
ultimately
help
grow
our
economy,
create
jobs,
and
protect
the
liberties
granted
to
every
American
by
our
Constitution.
Sincerely,
Tim
