Rep. Loudermilk would like to recognize several students from Georgia’s 11th Congressional District who won two awards at the National Invention Convention Championship at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan in May. Four students from Cheatham Hill Elementary - who are in the fifth grade - invented “Scandicapped,” which is a system that discourages people from parking in handicapped parking spots. They won second place for their grade, and the Choice Award for their category. Great Job!

ICYMI: Kennesaw Mountain Park Expansion Signed into Law
|
|
|
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement after President Trump signed a package of natural resources bills, S. 47, which included his Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park Boundary Adjustment Act, into law:
“The signing of this bill marks the end of nearly a decade of legislative work, and begins an era of historic preservation at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. While I first introduced this legislation in 2015, my predecessor Congressman Phil Gingrey began working on this bill in 2010. The National Park Service can now acquire the historic Wallis House and Harriston Hill properties which, once restored, will greatly enhance the visitors’ experience at the park and open the door to a greater understanding of the events that took place there. I am proud to be a part of preserving a piece of our nation’s history, and I thank the countless individuals and organizations who have worked so hard to see this happen.”

ICYMI: Rep. Loudermilk Leads on Regulatory Relief for Non-Profits; Bill Passes U.S. House |
|
|
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) issued the following statement after the House passed the Building Up Independent Lives and Dreams (BUILD) Act, H.R. 1060:
“Government red-tape and overly burdensome regulations are not only a challenge for American businesses, but they also affect non-profits like Habitat for Humanity. New regulations on disclosures for mortgage lenders have placed significant burdens on charitable organizations, requiring them to spend more time filling out regulatory paperwork, and less time building homes for those who need them. This is why I first introduced the BUILD Act, which exempts these non-profits from the overly-burdensome regulations, allowing them to use disclosure forms that are simpler and more appropriate for their operations. The BUILD Act first passed the House last year, but stalled in the Senate. I urge my Senate colleagues to bring this unanimously-supported legislation to the floor for a vote, so charities and non-profits can get back to rebuilding lives, communities, and dreams.”

From Our Constituent Services Desk… |
While VA issues are our most often worked cases, Medicare comes in as a close second. There is a lot of
confusion on the “what, when, why and how” of signing up for Medicare, and we hope in these next
three weeks to answer some of your questions on this issue.
What?
There are two main ways to get Medicare coverage. Original Medicare (Parts A & B) or a Medicare
Advantage Plan (Part C).
