Republican Challenger Randy Niemeyer Urges U.S. Senate to Pass Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act

0

Cedar Lake, IN -Randy Niemeyer, Republican Congressional Candidate, (IN-01) and owner of Niemeyer Milk Transfer Inc. called upon the U.S. Senate to prioritize the passage of the Whole Milk For Healthy Kids Act:

“I’ve dedicated my entire career to transporting wholesome dairy products. Nutrient-rich whole milk plays a vital role in the health and well-being of our nation’s children. With my experience in the agricultural industry, I have witnessed firsthand the importance of providing quality dairy options for growing kids.

My commitment to public service is rooted in the values instilled by my grandmother, whose dedicated service as a school cafeteria lady provided me with a profound understanding of the significance of nourishing meals for students.

The Whole Milk For Healthy Kids Act aims to broaden the availability of whole milk in school cafeterias, recognizing its nutritional benefits and addressing concerns about restrictive dietary guidelines. By passing this act, the Senate can contribute to the overall health and wellness of the next generation. I urge the U.S. Senate to unite on this bipartisan issue, transcending party lines for the betterment of our children’s health.”

SENATOR BRAUN STATEMENT ON HOUSE VOTE TO FORMALIZE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY

2

WASHINGTON – Senator Mike Braun released the following statement on the House of Representatives’ vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, which will grant the House the ability to better enforce subpoenas.

“An impeachment inquiry is the only way we’re going to get to the truth. Hunter Biden was selling influence abroad for millions and Joe Biden was ‘the brand,’ as Hunter’s business partner Devon Archer testified. As Vice President, Joe Biden spoke with Hunter’s business associates over 20 times and used a fake email address to receive and send emails from his son’s associates and to notify Hunter Biden when he would be calling the Ukrainian president. These facts must be followed, but President Biden’s politicized DOJ and the White House have stonewalled at every turn. The House should vote to begin an impeachment inquiry; it’s the only way to follow the facts – and the money – where they lead.” – Senator Mike Braun

Honor Those Who Have Served, Volunteer for Wreath Laying on Saturday

1

National Wreaths Across America Day is on Saturday, Dec. 16, and will take place at more than 4,200 participating locations across the country. This number of locations, which includes Arlington National Cemetery, is more than 500 above last year’s total.

Wreaths Across America anticipates that more than 3 million volunteers—a third of whom are children—will participate in National Wreaths Across America Day. The event provides a wonderful opportunity for communities to gather during the busiest time of year to pause and say thank you to all who have served and sacrificed for our freedom. With each balsam wreath placed, the volunteer will also say that service member’s name out loud and keep his or her memory alive.

National Wreaths Across America Day is a meaningful event that takes place each December across the country. Wreaths Across America’s mission is to remember the fallen, honor those who serve, and teach the next generation the value of freedom. It’s a year-long mission that brings together communities and families all over the country.

Wreaths Across America is successful year after year thanks to the help of millions of volunteers and sponsors. Every sponsorship received not only honors an American hero with the placement of a fresh balsam Veteran’s wreath in December, but it also supports the year-round program. Some of Wreaths Across America’s new and existing free programs include:

  • The TEACH Program, with downloadable lesson plans and service-based learning for youth of all ages.
  • The Mobile Education Exhibit is a museum on wheels that travels the country sharing the mission and creating free events for the community while serving as a “Welcome Home” unit for Vietnam War Veterans.
  • The National Museum and Gold Star Family History & Hospitality House are located at the National Wreaths Across America Headquarters in Columbia Falls, Maine. These exhibits offer guests an opportunity to learn more about the mission while experiencing the many stories of service, sacrifice and success shared with the program over the last 15 years.
  • Our Veteran outreach efforts include partnerships with Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs) working to support living Veterans and their families nationwide. We offer resources and access to support and host open discussions about important topics impacting this community via our owned channels, including Wreaths Across America Radio, a voice for America’s Veterans. This commercial-free station shares stories of those who served (and their families), highlighting the many like-minded programs supporting this demographic nationwide.
  • The Remembrance Tree Program is a free program that allows people to create a replica dog tag for a loved one who served; it also allows them to select a tree to hang that tag on the balsam tip lands in Columbia Falls, Maine, where Wreaths Across America is headquartered. Every three years, the tree will be “tipped” to collect the balsam used to make Veterans’ wreaths for placement on National Wreaths Across America Day.

Additionally, there are more than 6,000 local sponsorship groups supporting the mission across the country. These groups represent local charities, VSOs and programs giving back to the local community throughout the year. Since 2007, Wreaths Across America’s $5 pay-back group sponsorship program has resulted in more than $22 million in contributions being made to organizations, enabling them to provide care for our active duty service members, Veterans and their families.

There are many ways you can help support the Wreaths Across America mission. To sponsor a wreath, find a sponsorship group or location to support in your community, or find details for volunteers wanting to participate at an event, please visit www.wreathsacrossamerica.org.
