Anyone potentially willing to cosponsor the FEMA SR?

What is that?

A bill my New York representative introduced...it is essentially a bill that amends the FEMA mandate to allow them to respond to mass shootings. Rep. Eleanor McCroskey is a 2-term representative, former Interim chair of the Democratic Party, and she teeters on the Progressive/Moderate line in the Democratic Party

Official Name: Federal Emergency Act for Shooting Recovery Act
Nickname: FEMA SR

Overview: Amends the mandate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide short-term and long-term support to state and local services to respond to mass shooting incidents.

Definitions: Defines "Mass Shootings or Mass Shooting Incidents" as when five or more people are injured due to a single or multiple mass shooters on non-federal property.
Defines "Mass Shooter" as a man or woman who utilizes a firearm to harm the public or intends to harm the public.
Defines "Long-Term" as a period of time of 24 months after the day of the mass shooting.
Defines "Short-Term" as a period of time from the day of the mass shooting until the last victim is released from emergency medical services or the Mass Shooter is apprehended or neutralized, whichever occurs later.

Section 1: The United States has suffered from many mass shootings and gun violence. Nonetheless, the federal government has been unable to provide ways to limit these occurrences. Despite this setback, the United States should not abandon victims of mass shootings after the initial event and should provide long-term and short-term responses to these incidents to help victims survive and cope after a horrific event.

Section 2: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), an arm of the government to help during emergencies and to limit harm to Americans, will be required to respond to mass shootings as defined above. Failure to respond, reluctance, general inaction, or failure to meet the statues of this Act will result in an immediate investigation of the FEMA Administrator. Employees of FEMA who similarly fail to respond, display reluctance, provide general inaction, or fail to meet the statues of this Act will be placed under review and may be dismissed for failure to protect and continue to safeguard people.

Section 3: Within 21 days of a mass shooting, FEMA may request funding from the Executive and the Congress in order to help fulfill this mandate. If Congress is not in session, the President of the United States is authorized to redistribute funding or use other available funds to ensure that all services are fully available. If there is a mass shooting of more than 25 people when Congress is not in session, the President may convene both chambers of Congress in order to ensure that FEMA can provide the necessary services.

Section 4: FEMA may not provide any financial support to operations and activities pertaining to the capture of the mass shooter(s).

Section 5: FEMA must provide short-term emergency responses.

Subsection A: This includes providing information services and updates on mass shootings to the media as well as all people in a five-mile radius. This may be done through cell phone emergency notifications, radio announcements, or press releases and media briefings.

Subsection B: This includes funds to help with relief efforts including state and local emergency services and may provide financial support for uninsured victims for emergency medical procedures and life saving medical treatments, not exceeding $50,000 per person.

Subsection C: FEMA must utilize its medical personnel and emergency response task forces at mass shootings and must respond within 6 hours of the event at the absolute latest.

Section 6: FEMA must also provide long-term emergency response for the duration defined above.

Subsection A: This includes funds to help provide victims of mass shootings with medical treatments related directly due to an injury sustained from the event. This is not limited specifically to treatments of the body but may also include mental health, trauma, and other illness caused by the event but not necessarily from injury. Counseling is covered under this section.

Subsection B: Disabilities, defined under current law, resulting from a shooting must be addressed in a comprehensive approach, through funds to help make accommodations to the victim's home if not deemed excessively expensive, as well as providing support in paying and locating a physical therapy provider or other services required from the onset of a disability.

Subsection C: Even once the state governor ends the state of emergency, these long-term responses should continue unless they are deemed unnecessary due to underuse or superior state services.

Section 7: States must call a state of emergency for FEMA to begin its response services. Local governments may also request emergency FEMA assistance directly though only long-term relief may be provided under this process, not short-term services.

Section 8: Eight percent of the annual budget of the FEMA agency must be set aside to provide these emergency services. The agency must be compliant to this measure within six months of the passage of this act.

This bill is then honorably presented to the United States House of Representative for consideration in order to ensure victims are provided emergency services during and after mass shootings and its violence to improve the United States Law and is backed by Congresswoman Eleanor McCroskey on May 8, 2017.

Official Name: Transparency and End for Nonprofit Organizations and their Political Agendas Act
Nickname: TENOPA

Overview: This bill seeks to put a solution in place to restrict the active use of 'dark money' and politically active non-profits, creating transparency for these groups and place harder limits on their political spending.

Definitions: Defines "Politically Active Non-Profits" or PANP's as IRS designated 501(c)(4)’s engage in campaign contributions and political financial contributions of any kind directly to a candidate, campaign, political action committee, for-profit political organization, or another non-profit political organization
Defines "donor" as any individual or organization that provides money to the PANP including purposes related to the PANP.
Defines "donation" as any financial contribution by the PANP to an organization defined in the PANP definition.

Section 1: The growing influence of PANP's, have been a major reason for the increase in so-called “dark money” within the political process. This term, typically applied to a part of political spending that does not disclose their funding sources, is an increasingly common term in elections. It allows candidates to be able to be supported, though not directly, by groups without the public knowing who these groups are or where the money comes from. These nonprofits should primarily focus on promoting social welfare as stated within the IRS tax code. This is the very reason for their existence as a tax-exempt organization. Therefore, these organizations are a threat against American democracy, propelling a supposedly for public benefit group when in reality, the group is used as a funnel to influence elections.

Section 2: Organizations registered within the IRS and designated as a 501(c)(4) tax-exempt nonprofit, will be limited in their political contributions.

Subsection A: A 501(c)(4) organization may not spend more than 50% of their total gross revenue on political contributions in the forms of direct contributions to candidates and campaigns, advertisements on all media platforms, donations to other politically active nonprofits or political action committees, as well as contributions to a political party.

Subsection B: If an organization is found to have exceeded this limit, then the IRS may conduct an audit of the organization. If the records prove the violation, then the organization will be stripped of their status as a 501(c)(4) organization for the current tax year and one year after. Following this time, the organization may reapply normally to be granted the status once more.

Subsection C: Any current and future 501(c)(4) organization must sign an agreement in which they understand that they must meet compliance with the above regulations.

Section 3: Organizations registered within the IRS and designated as a 501(c)(4) tax-exempt nonprofit will be required to disclose their sources in the form of donor information and donation information as similar to other politically active groups such as political action committees.

Subsection A: A 501(c)(4) organization must disclose donor information for contributions to said organization that is in excess of $1000. In addition, this sum is cumulative for each donor and lasts one tax year before the donation total is reset.

Subsection B: A 501(c)(4) organization must disclose donation information for donations from said organization that is in excess of $1000. This amount is not cumulative and information must be submitted for each separate transaction.

Subsection C: All information disclosed will be reviewed by the IRS and will be required if an audit of the organization is conducted. Following the proper IRS procedure, the information will be published publically and may be reviewed and requested by the Federal Election Commission.

This bill is then honorably presented to the United States House of Representative for consideration in order to ensure transparency in the money used in American elections to improve the United States Law and is backed by Congresswoman Eleanor McCroskey on May 8, 2017.

Official Name: Protecting Rights of Rape Victims and Children Act
Nickname: PRRVCA

Overview: This bill seeks to establish measures to protect and ensure a rape victim's parental rights and custody over any children resulting from the rape and denying the rapist from achieving these same rights in general.

Definitions: Defines "rape" as per the U.S. criminal code, simplified as when a person is forced unwillingly into a sexual act, with malicious intent from the rapist, defined below, and a form of assault
Defines "rapist" as per the U.S. criminal code, simplified as any person who maliciously, knowingly or unknowingly, forced a sexual act onto another person
Defines "rape victim" as per the U.S. criminal code, simplified as any person assaulted of a rapist.

Section 1: Rape is a heinous felony that causes long-lasting psychological damage to the victim. In some cases, rape results in an unwanted pregnancy of the victim. Some women impregnated by rape choose to keep and raise the baby. Unfortunately, this can come with a whole new set of legal challenges. Some states allow convicted rapists to gain parental rights. This is not only absurd, but it is psychologically damaging for the victim of rape as well as the child conceived of rape.

Section 2: If a person is convicted of rape, their parental rights to any child born from that rape will be terminated

Subsection A: The convicted rapist can not sue in any court, municipal, county, state, or federal, for any parental rights.

Subsection B: If the convicted rapist has other children with the rape victim, the victim can choose whether or not their parental rights be terminated. This decision must be made without influence from the convicted rapist and a legal document stating their decision must be made 60 days after the birth of the child. If no decision is made in time, the convicted rapist is stripped of their parental rights and must abide by Subsection A.

Subsection C: If the convicted rapist has children born prior to the rape conviction, who were not conceived of rape, they will continue to have parental rights unless found unfit. These children may request Child Protective Services or some other equivalent state agency if they believe the rapist parent to be unfit and a regular investigation and proceedings will occur.

Subsection D: The victim can sue the convicted rapist for child support or a monetary amount even if their parental rights are terminated. Regular civil proceedings govern such a lawsuit.

Subsection E: If the convicted rapist has children after the rape conviction with others aside from the rape victim, who were not conceived of rape, they will have parental rights unless found unfit. Similarly, these children may request Child Protective Services or some other equivalent state agency if they believe the rapist parent to be unfit and a regular investigation and proceedings will occur.

Subsection E: A parental, sexual, or intimate relationship between the victim and the rapist cannot be considered following the criminal proceedings of the rape in any future civil or criminal proceedings that may arise.

Section 3: If a person is convicted of rape, they will not be eligible to adopt or foster a child, with no exceptions.

Subsection A: If the convicted rapist has children fostered or adopted with the rape victim, the victim can choose whether or not their parental rights be terminated. This decision must be made without influence from the convicted rapist and a legal document stating their decision must be made 60 days after the birth of the child. If no decision is made in time, the convicted rapist is stripped of their parental rights and may not pursue future criminal or civil litigation to regain such parental rights.

Subsection B: ​If the convicted rapist has fostered or adopted children fostered or adopted prior to the rape conviction, they will continue to have parental rights unless found unfit. These children may similarly request Child Protective Services or some other equivalent state agency if they believe the rapist parent to be unfit and a regular investigation and proceedings will occur.

This bill is then honorably presented to the United States House of Representative for consideration in order to ensure protections for rape victims and their children born, adopted, or fostered to improve the United States Law and is backed by Congresswoman Eleanor McCroskey on May 8, 2017.

These nonprofits should primarily focus on promoting social welfare as stated within the IRS tax code. This is the very reason for their existence as a tax-exempt organization. Therefore, these organizations are a threat against American democracy, propelling a supposedly for public benefit group when in reality, the group is used as a funnel to influence elections.

Section 2: Organizations registered within the IRS and designated as a 501(c)(4) tax-exempt nonprofit, will be limited in their political contributions.

Subsection A: A 501(c)(4) organization may not spend more than 50% of their total gross revenue on political contributions in the forms of direct contributions to candidates and campaigns, advertisements on all media platforms, donations to other politically active nonprofits or political action committees, as well as contributions to a political party.

Subsection B: If an organization is found to have exceeded this limit, then the IRS may conduct an audit of the organization. If the records prove the violation, then the organization will be stripped of their status as a 501(c)(4) organization for the current tax year and one year after. Following this time, the organization may reapply normally to be granted the status once more.

Subsection C: Any current and future 501(c)(4) organization must sign an agreement in which they understand that they must meet compliance with the above regulations.

Section 3: Organizations registered within the IRS and designated as a 501(c)(4) tax-exempt nonprofit will be required to disclose their sources in the form of donor information and donation information as similar to other politically active groups such as political action committees.

Subsection A: A 501(c)(4) organization must disclose donor information for contributions to said organization that is in excess of $1000. In addition, this sum is cumulative for each donor and lasts one tax year before the donation total is reset.

Subsection B: A 501(c)(4) organization must disclose donation information for donations from said organization that is in excess of $1000. This amount is not cumulative and information must be submitted for each separate transaction.

Subsection C: All information disclosed will be reviewed by the IRS and will be required if an audit of the organization is conducted. Following the proper IRS procedure, the information will be published publically and may be reviewed and requested by the Federal Election Commission.

This bill is then honorably presented to the United States House of Representative for consideration in order to ensure transparency in the money used in American elections to improve the United States Law and is backed by Congresswoman Eleanor McCroskey on May 8, 2017.

Just the way I like it. I could make it a flashpoint, or I could get the ball rolling on a bipartisan hate crimes bill she roped her Republican colleagues into voting for after a ugly defacement of a monument to a Palestinian activist who was murdered in Santa Ana.

And I know, it doesn’t make intuitive sense for a Republican State Senator to vote for a hate crimes bill, much less help see it through, and even less so for a Palestinian activist.

It’s supposed to be an illustration of her record; I’ll explain should this be the path I choose.

Also another way to insert real life history into things.

Definitions: Defines "Politically Active Non-Profits" or PANP's as IRS designated 501(c)(4)’s engage in campaign contributions and political financial contributions of any kind directly to a candidate, campaign, political action committee, for-profit political organization, or another non-profit political organization
Defines "donor" as any individual or organization that provides money to the PANP including purposes related to the PANP.

Representative McMurdoc (GA-6) will cosponser

That bill is electoral suicide for most politicos but it's 1 000% suicide for Republicans

Takes a massive shot at the NRA and probably would get spun by them as trying to be a gun registry w/the disclosures,
