ONE and CARE volunteers united for a meeting with Congressman Sestak’s (D, PA-7) senior advisor Jason Marmon. We thanked the Congressman for his support of PEPFAR and the Jubilee Act and for his co-sponsorship of Education for All. Marmon expressed frustration at what he described as “gridlock” in the Congress and said that Representative Sestak wanted to remain in session instead of go to recess this summer in order to finish the important work ahead of them.

He regretted that many legislative needs would not be met in the month of September before the recess until January but he said that the congressman will continue to champion issues such as universal education and foreign aid in the interest of national security.
