McNamara welcomes UNITE CubeSat team to the Statehouse
On March 5, 2019 at the Indiana Statehouse, Rep. Wendy McNamara honored a group of University of Southern Indiana students with a resolution recognizing their accomplishments in building the UNITE CubeSat, a small research satellite. “This project was the first spacecraft of its kind in the state, and Dr. Glen Kissel and the CubeSat team showed incredible ambition in its creation,” McNamara said. “The team worked for two years engineering, designing and building this satellite. It’s amazing that these undergraduate students had the opportunity to create and operate a spacecraft, and I commend them on this accomplishment.”

Bucshon Votes Against a Democrat Federal Power Grab
“ The Democrat Politician Protection Act (H.R. 1) is a radical attempt to hijack our free and fair election system and limit the voices of the American people. Democrats are proposing the public financing of elections, which would force American’s hard-earned tax dollars to be used to subsidize political campaigns that they do not support – limiting Constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms of speech and association. Furthermore, this one-size-fits all, federal takeover of the election process will open the door for voting irregularities through federal mandates on voter registration and voting practices that will be forced on states. Last time I checked, voting happens at the state level and are the right and responsibility of state and local governments. Democracy is a participatory sport, and I am in full support of increased voter registration and participation in our election process. Unfortunately this legislation goes far beyond increasing voter participation and instead is a misguided attempt to rig our nation’s electoral systems for the exclusive benefit of the Democrat party by telling Americans once again that the federal government and Washington bureaucrats know better than they do.” Â

One of my favorite privileges as a Member of Congress is speaking to students. Today I had the opportunity to discuss the legislative process with Hoosiers from Shepard Leadership and Law, F.J. Reitz High School, and William Henry Harrison High School. Thank you for your thoughtful questions. (Congressman Bucshon Facebook post 3/6/29) |
