Dear

Thank
you
for
subscribing

my
weekly
e-newsletter,

please

Face
the
Nation
Yesterday,
on Face
The
Nation,
I
discussed
how
we
can
move
forward
as
a
nation
to
restore
hope
in
our
communities
and
strengthen
our
American
family.
One
of
the
ways
we
can
do
this
is
by
embracing
the
Opportunity
Agenda
–
something
I
am
passionate
about
and
have
been
working
on
for
years.
I
believe
that
we
can
begin
to
lift
people
up
by
understanding
that
every
single
American
deserves
a
chance
at
the
American
Dream.
Senate
Opportunity
Coalition
II
Last
week,
the
Senate
Opportunity
Coalition
(SOC)
released
its
second
report
reviewing
our
continued
progress
in
identifying
common
obstacles
faced
by
millions
of
Americans
still
living
in
poverty.
We
are
searching
for
solutions
that
will
improve
the
quality
of
K-12
education, increase
community
investment,
tackle
housing
and
health
care
reform,
and
address
food
insecurity.
It
is
time
for
us
to
work
on
long-term
solutions
that
will
positively
impact
those
who
are
living
paycheck-to-paycheck,
and
who
simply
want
a
chance.
You
can
read
the
second
report
here.
Supporting
the
FY17
National
Defense
Authorization
Act
We
live
in
a
volatile
world;
luckily,
we
have
the
good
fortune
of
being
defended
by
the
best
military
in
the
world.
Thanks
to
our
troops’
sacrifice,
our
nation
remains
free
and
protected
from
our
enemies.
Our
national
security
and
the
wellbeing
of
those
who
have
volunteered
to
defend
our
country
are very
important
to
me.
I
am
proud
to
say
that
I
voted in
support
of
the
FY17
National
Defense
Authorization
Act.
The
legislation
pushes
for
better
equipment,
better
healthcare
and
compensation
that
keeps
up
with
the
rising
cost
of
living
for
our
armed
forces.
Thank
you
for
your
service!
Keep
the
Government
Running
Next
month,
we
will
welcome
a
new
administration
and
a
new
era
in
our
government’s
existence.
With
so
many
changes
ahead
of
us,
it
is
important
that
we
work
to
make
this
transition
as
smooth
as
possible.
In
an
effort
to
do
just
that,
I
supported
the
CR
to
keep
the
government
fully
funded
and
open
through
April.

statement

Sincerely,
Tim
