What We Do Together
May 15, 2017

Sen. Lee Commends President Trump for Implementing the ‘Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance’ Executive Order
May 15, 2017
WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) issued the following statement Monday after President Trump detailed his implementation of the “Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance” executive order:
“I commend President Trump for detailing how we will implement his ‘Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance’ executive order, one of the several bold steps President Trump has already taken to protect life in foreign assistance. It is now Congress’ turn to do what they can to protect the unborn by turning ‘Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance’ executive order into law. A first step could be to pass S.Res.15, a resolution I introduced expressing the sense of the Senate that the Mexico City policy should be permanently established, and then we can advance additional measures to safeguard life.”
What We Do Together: The State of Associational Life in America
May 15, 2017
Today, Americans face a wide variety of challenges in our era of tumultuous transition. We are materially better off in many ways than in the past.

That space is held together by extended networks of cooperation and social support, norms of reciprocity and mutual obligation, trust, and social cohesion. In short, it is sustained by what we do together.

May 12, 2017
Over the past 20 years, the price of wireless service has fallen 46 percent, the price of software has fallen 68 percent, the price of televisions has fallen 96 percent, and the quality of these services and technologies has improved markedly.

An Obamacare Repeal Update
May 12, 2017
This week a working group of United States senators began meeting on a bi-weekly basis to reach a consensus on how to repeal and replace Obamacare.
