Dear
Friends,
Thank
you
for
subscribing
to
my
weekly
e-newsletter,
and
please
remember
to
follow
me
on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
Investing
in
Opportunity
Act
I
am
excited
to
introduce
my
new
bill,
the
Investing
in
Opportunity
Act,
because
it
encourages
private
investment
and
it
gives
families
living
in
economically
distressed
areas
the
opportunity
to
move
forward
and
succeed
–
without
creating
a
new
government
program.
The
Investing
in
Opportunity
Act
provides
a
bridge
to
a
better
future.
I
talk
about
the
bill
here!
Iran
Sanctions
Recent
actions
by
Iran
have
once
again
demonstrated
their
reluctance
to
curb
their
confrontational
nuclear
missile
program.
These
dangerous,
provocative
actions
by
a
country
considered
a
state
sponsor
of
terror
should
carry
consequences.
The
decision
to
increase
sanctions
should
come
as
no
surprise.
A
line
was
drawn,
and
Iran
deliberately
defied
the
agreement.
I
stand
by
the
President
on
his
decision
to
implement
a
quick
and
deliberate
strategy.
It
should
send
a
clear
message
that
Iran’s
reckless
behavior
will
not
be
tolerated.
Celebrating
Black
History
Month
From
Benjamin
Banneker
to
Martin
Luther
King,
Jr.,
and
Muddy
Waters
to
Stevie
Wonder,
black
Americans
have
contributed
immensely
to
the
history,
story,
and
very
soul
of
our
nation.
That
journey
has
often
been
faced
with
hardships,
but
has
also
produced
some
amazing
results.
I
am
truly
blessed
to
stand
on
the
shoulders
of
the
heroes
that
came
before
me
–
Edward
Brooke,
Hiram
Revels,
Medgar
Evers,
Lena
Horne
and
so
many
others.
Without
their
sacrifice,
their
essential
contributions
to
the
American
story,
folks
like
myself
simply
wouldn’t
be
here.
I
also
want
to
send
a
special
thank
you
to
my
own
mother,
a
single
parent
who
worked
herself
to
the
bone
for
years
to
provide
a
better
future
for
my
brother
and
me.
I
look
forward
to
celebrating
Black
History
Month
with
people
from
across
South
Carolina
and
the
nation.
Sincerely,
Tim
