5 Steps for Blizzard Prep

Click here to                      visit my website

Folks, by now you're probably aware that, starting tomorrow at noon, the First Congressional District and the Commonwealth are expecting some significant snowfall to last through the weekend and into next week. A blizzard watch has been issued by the National Weather Service, and Governor Terry McAuliffe has declared a State of Emergency in Virginia.

As in any emergency situation, safety is the absolute first priority, and preparation is key. Here are some safety tips you can follow and some resources to have at hand as you and your family prepare for the inclement weather. Stay warm and be safe!

1.      Stay off the roads unless travel is absolutely essential! If you need to use your vehicle, make sure that you're allowing extra space and time and using a liberal measure of precaution. Make sure that your car, truck, or SUV is winter-ready and that you are traveling with emergency items like blankets, non-perishable food, sand, a shovel, an ice-scraper, and a flashlight.

2.      Have enough non-perishable food and bottled water to sustain your family (and pets) for at least 72-hours. There may be power-outages, and it's important to have food and other necessities in case you can't rely on electric power.

3.      Make sure you have access to the medicine/medical equipment that you need. Take some time today to make sure that any necessary prescriptions are filled and that you have uninterrupted access to any medical equipment you may need.

4.      Stay informed! Make sure that you have a way to access emergency and other information. Have a battery-powered radio, flashlights, and lots of extra batteries. Make sure that cellular phones are fully charged. If you need help, information, or resources during the storm, you can call 211.

5.      Be prepared to help neighbors and friends who are elderly or disabled. Storms like the one projected are especially hard on the most vulnerable among us. Make sure that your friends and neighbors who may need extra care have everything that they need to be safe during the storm. Take a few moments to check in on them as you're developing your own emergency strategy.

America Needs Progress, Not Empty Promises

Click here to                      visit my website

We're at the beginning—a New Year filled with new opportunities—and I've been thinking a lot about my priorities. When I consider the challenges we're facing at home and abroad, I can see how it might be easy to get bogged down in the details. But I want to rise above that for a moment. If I've learned anything from my time as a public servant, it's that our greatest resource and our best hope for overcoming even the toughest challenges is our people. Our forefathers knew that progress isn't about government; it's about the men and women who strive to make the world a better place. That's why individual liberty is the guiding light of our democracy. We are a nation of "I can," a nation of seekers, and a nation of doers. We don't stand by and watch history. We make history.

Somewhere along the way, Washington has forgotten what's important. It has forgotten about "We the People." As Edmund Burke said, "the great difference between the real statesman and the pretender is, that the one sees into the future, while the other regards only the present; the one lives by the day, and acts on expedience; the other acts on enduring principles and for immortality."

We need statesmen. We need leaders who look toward the future and act on the enduring principles that make our nation "America the Beautiful."

Tomorrow night, at the President's State of the Union address, that's what I'd like to hear: a plan of action for the future. What we've heard until now is entrenched commitment to failed ideology. The American people deserve better.

We know that we're facing threats at home and abroad from terror groups and from more conventional actors like North Korea, and up until now, there has been a lack of strategy and a shortfall in resources for dealing with those threats. As Chairman of the Readiness Subcommittee, I heard testimony this week from Navy leaders that painted a bleak picture of our military readiness. Limited funding for our military means that we are less prepared to deal with real threats, and it means that our soldiers, sailors, and airmen are less safe.

We also know that the Administration has often acted as an enemy to the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution. In the latest display of disregard for our founding principles, the President rolled out executive actions that would abridge the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners while neglecting to address the underlying causes of the recent rash of mass gun violence. Playing politics with the Bill of Rights isn't statesmanship. It's opportunism.

There are benchmarks that I would like for Congress to meet this year. But as we march toward meeting those, my personal goal is to be a statesman and a servant, not a politician. Each day, that is what I endeavor to do. And I couldn't do it without the men and women across Virginia's First Congressional District who have made the Commonwealth great. In 2016, let's move toward the future together.
