Luetkemeyer Highlights Telephone Support Program
With an increasing number of servicemembers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-9) is urging spouses of those coming home to take advantage of a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) telephone support program designed to ease the transition for returning troops and their families. “This telephone support program is an invaluable resource for our military families and veterans during the transition from service overseas to life back here at home,” Luetkemeyer said. “I urge folks to take advantage of this program as a way to deal with the ...
Simplify the Tax Code Begs Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer
Throughout my time in Congress, I have worked aggressively to provide more certainty to American taxpayers by supporting tax policies that foster economic growth. Our tax code is too complicated, too cumbersome, and stands in the way of job growth. To address the long-term economic issues facing our nation, I believe our tax code should be flatter, fairer and simpler. It would be irresponsible to raise taxes on hard-working Americans, especially during a time of great economic uncertainty and high levels of unemployment. Under a lower tax burden, Americans would have a greater incentive to ...
Rep. Luetkemeyer sought fast track for visa program
In July, as the Mamtek project in Moberly was on the brink of collapse, U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer met with a top immigration official to push along the company’s application for an investor visa program. When the meeting took place, there were no outward signs of trouble. Construction was still under way, and plans were being made for the time when some of the promised 600 factory jobs would be filled. On July 14 in Washington, D.C., Luetkemeyer, a Republican from St. Elizabeth, met with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Deputy Director Lori Scialabba to get the EB-5 ...

Blaine's Bulletin: Expanding Broadband Coverage in Rural America I come from a town of approximately 300 people, in an area that has limited access to high quality telecommunication services. Given that personal experience, I understand firsthand the frustration of living with limited access to telecommunications services. This has caused many rural communities to become disadvantaged, particularly as our nation has grown more dependent on technology. Rural broadband is an issue that is of critical importance to many parts of the 3rd District. Broadband coverage is utilized by students to complete classroom assignments, for small businesses to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace, and for health providers to perform the tasks they need to accomplish. As Vice Chair of the House Small Business Committee, I take every opportunity to raise awareness of the impact Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reforms have on telecommunication providers, small businesses, and Missouri families. In addition to access to reliable Internet, anothe |
Luetkemeyer Language that Provides Protections for the Unborn Included in Appropriations Bill U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) issued the following statement after the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education funding bill for Fiscal Year 2018 was passed out of the Subcommittee with language that will provide protections for the unborn. “I am incredibly pleased that my colleagues on the House Appropriations Committee recognized the importance of this issue and are willing to join me in ensuring that taxpayer dollars will not be spent on trafficking infant body parts,” Luetkemeyer said. “Taxpayer dollars should be held in a higher regard, and directed toward projects and priorities that not only better our country but also reflect the will of the people.” Specifically, the legislation mandates that no funding be provided for research on fetal tissue that was obtained from an induced abortion. Additionally, Luetkemeyer introduced H.R. 1895, the Protecting Life and Integrity Research Act, which would allow the National Institute of Health (NIH) to conduct rese |
Luetkemeyer Statement on House Passage of National Defense Authorization Act U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) issued the following statement after the House of Representatives passed the Fiscal Year 2018 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA): “The men and women who defend our freedoms are our country’s most valuable asset,” Luetkemeyer said. “As a Member of Congress, I have a responsibility to provide these men and women with the equipment and supplies that improve their capabilities on the battlefield and keep them safe. This legislation increases the size of each branch of our Armed Forces while fully funding the 2.4 percent pay raise guaranteed to our men and women in uniform under current law. The Fiscal Year 2018 NDAA also helps to address the readiness crisis facing our military following years of under-funding. Our troops sacrifice so much for our country and are the greatest fighting force on this planet. This bill provides them with the tools and equipment that match their skill and proficiency.” Additional provisions in the NDAA: |
Luetkemeyer Holds Hearing to Examine Legislation to Provide Regulatory Relief for Community Financial Institutions Today, U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) issued the following statement upon conclusion of the Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee hearing entitled “Examining Legislative Proposals to Provide Targeted Regulatory Relief to Community Financial Institutions.” “Our nation’s community financial institutions are getting buried under red tape,” Luetkemeyer said. “Even today, a lender who serves many Missourians living in my congressional district, who testified before the Subcommittee reiterated that his credit union is constantly stifled due to high costs and regulations from the government. The bills that were discussed today are all designed to take the first steps in relieving pressure on our nation’s community financial institutions and preserving choice and financial independence for all consumers. I want to thank all of the witnesses that testified before the subcommittee for their willingness to be here today.” One of the pieces of legis |
