All –
Much of my last two weeks has been spent researching a recent Bill that my Congressman Bob Goodlatte drafted and presented to the House Judiciary Committee in late February.
The Bill HR1215 – Protecting Access to Care Act 2017 (ironic name) would have a severe and negative impact on Virginians.
Please take 15 minutes to listen to my recent podcast on the Bill. Link is below.
Other links are also below. Email with questions – and thanks for caring about Virginians.
