of pennsylvania, representative meuser. mr. meuser: i thank my very good friend, dr. joyce of pennsylvania. madam speaker, we are witnessing horrible brutality by vladimir putin. he's killing civilians and committing war crimes while zelensky has ordered his troops to not cross the line between humanity and animals. zelensky requested aircraft, military supplies and for credit card processing to be cut off. master car and visa -- mastercard and visa stepped up and i hope the aircraft is on its way as was planned. he also asked for the u.s. to impose an embargo on russian oil. finally the biden administration is taking this important step. madam speaker, 14 months ago this would have been a simple ask. as we, the united states, was in factor inning independent. but because of the biden administration's reckless anti-domestic fuel energy policies, it's far more complicated. at a time when we should be ramping up domestic production, the biden administration is sending officials to venezuela and iran in a desperate attempt to

and just to highlight a little bit of what's happening in pennsylvania, currently in pennsylvania, pennsylvanians are paying on average $4.42 per gallon for a gallon of gas. that's $1.39 more than they were paying a year ago. the white house is frantically trying to spin a narrative that points to russia's invasion of ukraine as the catalyst for skyrocketing gas prices. the truth is that the biden administration set this energy crisis into motion on day one of his term of office, by cutting american pipelines and halting leases for drilling on federal lands. blocking oil and natural gas drilling puts a strangle hold on domestic production and leads to higher prices for american families. not only has the biden administration diminished american energy independence, but he also gave russia the confidence to weaponize its energy exports. pair this with biden's refusal to unleash american energy dominance and you have a united states, our united states, that's dependent on tyrannical nations for energy. american energy is right beneath our feet. we must kick production into high gear. we heard the p

in pennsylvania, we call them life programs. but in most of the country they go by that name p.a.c.e. p.a.c.e.. these programs in a people with medicare and medicaid to receive all their benefits through a single organization, providing primary care, long-term care and more in one place. p.a.c.e. also enables people with a high level of need to stay in the community rather than receiving care in a nursing home if that is their preference. indeed, this is the preference for the majority of older adults as well as people with disabilities. so that's why i'm committed to expanding access to home and community based services. last year the senate passed the american rescue plan which included 12.7 billion dollars in emergency funding for states for these services, these home and community based services. states are using these resources to help more seniors and people with disabilities access care and to pay the heroic home care workers the hazard pay and the bonuses that they deserve. so this investment in the rescue plan of 12.7 b

thank you for being here as well from pennsylvania. pennsylvania is in the house. so when i think about the turn of the 20th century, my ancestors, some of whom i got to meet like my great grandmother, altagracia casanova who still farmed when i was a kid, they became citizens by statute. and then my great grandparents, they had draft cards. they went and served in world war i. the first shots of world war i were fired off the coast of san juan as the germans attempted to enter the caribbean. from there, we saw my grandparents stationed in place in the caribbean and south america during world war ii. we know of the great fame people serving in those wars as well as korea. this has been earned in service, in blood, in contributions in science and art and manufacturing and in so many other ways that have made this such a great united states of america. but it's the recent history that i'm most concerned about. we saw after the 936 exemption ended, my family moved to central florida from puerto rico. they were worried about the economic climate. they moved to central

so for instance in 1838, pennsylvania as the state of pennsylvania was about to restrict voting rights to white men black pennsylvania's published an appeal of 40,000 pennsylvania studied with disenfranchisement, and they cite the articles of confederation, especially the one defining citizenship as the free inhabitants of each state poppers vagabonds, and he's just from justice accepted etc. and then they cite minutes from the constitute from the convention. noting that the state's voted down by margin of eight to two to one emotional from south carolina carolina to include the word white. and bring this up because it reminds us like parkinson's book that revolutionaries were constantly thinking of not only about enslavement, but also race they were making race in the moment through letters articles and law and these pennsylvania's remind us in 1838 once again that other choices were available. the revolutionaries not only knew better. they could do better some tried. i'm at least me to rethink the notion of citizenship as a club that parks and gives us yes, perhaps it's a club. i lik

in adams county, pennsylvania, a gallon of gas costs $4.43. that's $1.40 more than it did just one year ago. rural americans should not be forced to pay the price for president biden's failure to drill american oil. a failure that has led to the highest gas prices in our nation's history. in a recent survey that i conducted in my weekly newsletter, over 3,000 of my constituents responded and 96% of them reported that the rising cost of goods has affected their individual budgets. it's time for president bide ton take responsibility for what his reckless spending has done to our country. and because of this reckless spending, americans are forced to make difficult choices. what they can afford to buy, what they can afford for medications, what they can afford and which bill they have to pay each month. it is time for president bide ton care more about the families in pennsylvania, more about the families in america, than he does about the green new deal. it is time to drill american oil. it's time to utilize and expand pennsylvania's wonderful
