I have requested that the Postal Service issue two distinct series of commemorative stamps, one set for each San Antonio Mission, and another to honor the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Alamo, in 2018. These two series of commemorative stamps would be an appropriate way to celebrate these internationally-recognized treasures and San Antonio’s Tricentennial.

The Honorable Megan J. Brennan

"I’m all for taking the bull by the horns, but just not for more bull, of which we hear a lot in Congress. This week, the Ways and Means Committee met to discuss policies to deliver opportunities for all Americans – great in name, but unfortunately a far cry from the reality of a tax code engineered over many decades of lobbying for loopholes to further advantage the advantaged. Instead of perpetuating inequality through a broken tax code, we need to level the playing field for small businesses and working families."

CAP commends the more than 50 lawmakers in the House who recognize that enough is enough when it comes to the skyrocketing costs of pharmaceuticals. For months now, public opinion polls have shown that consumers, regardless of their political affiliation, are demanding reforms to lower drug prices. One such road to reform is to implement strong executive actions that will help lower costs, improve public health, and jump-start innovation.

In response to the 62nd vote in the House to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act, Rep. Lloyd Doggett said:

FEMA has now opened a Disaster Recovery Center in Caldwell County. The DRC is located at Allen Bates River Park at the intersection of FM 1979 and Fannin Street in Martindale.

WASHINGTON — Citing Texans’ complaints of soaring prescription costs, U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett is leading an effort in Congress seeking causes and remedies.

Doggett, D-Austin, has formed an entity called the Prescription Drug Pricing Task Force, and one of the initial efforts is pressuring the Obama administration to use its authorities to stem an ongoing rise in the costs of pharmaceuticals.
