      <title>Protecting WOMEN and UNBORN CHILDREN</title>
      <description>Just over four years ago, the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs marked a major victory for the sanctity of life and the Constitution. By overturning Roe v. Wade, the Court rightly rejected the idea that the Constitution creates a right to abortion and returned this issue straight to the states.
&lt;p&gt;But being pro-life isn't just about one court decision. It's a commitment to defend the dignity of every unborn child and stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That's why I'm proud to cosponsor &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/RepSheriBiggs?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZaEPf2sAiiO1p3EHdgINg3moPXhumU5INFPqp2-VP5kHqaZMHO-LKUCeVTzH5EpeYOotulP5xk9wExW4mhOkl24fMIEB3Kerug-s3iJMyuEX6FrzZEaSWBqS4nk-Ik_-0TMdb3IwiJRoBWuaYe5nBJvZE_6VJowypRrSlajZVIqSFSUoHK8A7ZmzK13tWgXZl8&amp;amp;__tn__=-%5DK-R"&gt;Congresswoman Sheri Biggs&lt;/a&gt;'s bill, H.R. 9421, that would protect women and unborn children by restoring commonsense safeguards on dangerous abortion drugs. Americans deserve policies that put the health and safety of women FIRST while affirming the value of every human life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While the previous administration sent YOUR taxpayer dollars to overseas abortion clinics, this administration has taken a full 180 to protect the sanctity of life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As your Congressman, I have consistently fought for pro-life legislation, and I will continue supporting bills committed to both strengthening families and promoting a culture of life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This fight is far from over.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>NO to War Powers Resolution </title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Biden backed down. Trump took action.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The world's leading state sponsor of terrorism should NEVER possess a nuclear weapon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;America is safer when our enemies know we mean business.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The House did its job. Now, the Senate must act.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Holding the Senate Accountable</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Last night, I joined 31 of my colleagues to STAND FIRM with President Trump in refusing to pass ANY SENATE BILLS until the SAVE America Act is passed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That included voting NO on Elizabeth Warren’s housing package. It wasn't conservative enough, added more Washington involvement, and failed to address the spending crisis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The American people demand the Senate be held ACCOUNTABLE!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Meet Maj. James Capers</title>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Please join me on Wednesday, April 12th as we meet and hear from Maj. James Capers, one of the most decorated Marines in Force Reconnaissance history!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I've filed a bill in the House, &lt;a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/587/text?s=1&amp;amp;r=47"&gt;H.R. 587&lt;/a&gt;, to authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Maj. Capers for acts of valor during the Vietnam War. As the recipient of a Silver Star, two Bronze Stars with “V” for valor, and three Purple Hearts, I believe he is highly deserving of this honor.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
During this special event, you'll get a chance to meet Maj. Capers, hear his story, and learn more about this effort in Congress. This event will held at the &lt;a href="https://goo.gl/maps/sLphMfJCXV2AyfeA8"&gt;American Legion Post 34 in Rock Hill&lt;/a&gt; starting at 5:30 PM on Wednesday April 12th. It's free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be available.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This is sure to be a memorable event. I hope to see you there!&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>Tele-Town Hall - April 5, 2022 6:00 PM</title>
      <description>Please make your calendar for Tuesday, April 5th at 6:00 PM ET for a special live telephone town hall.&amp;nbsp; Joining me will be two other congressman from South Carolina, &lt;a href="https://jeffduncan.house.gov/"&gt;Rep. Jeff Duncan&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://timmons.house.gov/"&gt;Rep. William Timmons&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During this call, we'll be discussing the important domestic issues facing our country, including rising inflation, increases in violent crime, and alarming levels of illegal immigration. We’ll also discuss the U.S. response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and other topics. Additionally, I’ll take as many questions from callers as time will permit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no cost to participate, and it's easy to register. Simply visit the link below to provide your number, and we'll call you directly when the live event begins at 6:00 PM on April 5th. (Your phone number will remain private.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;*** Important note: &lt;/strong&gt;there will be tens of thousands of people on the phone during this live call. Because of the large volume, it will take a few minutes to dial out to everyone, so please be patient. Similar questions will be consolidated with 1-2 callers. If you have any follow-up questions, please remain on the line at the end of the call to leave a message, which will be returned as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also plan on live-streaming this event on my &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/RepRalphNorman"&gt;Facebook page&lt;/a&gt;, and make it available for replay on Facebook and my &lt;a href="https://norman.house.gov"&gt;congressional website&lt;/a&gt; by the following afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have a lot of important issues facing our nation, and these telephone town halls have been a very effective way to talk directly with thousands of constituents. I hope you can join me for this special event. Once again, to register to be automatically dialed at the start of this call, please visit:&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>York County Town Hall</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I'll be hosting a live town hall in York County on Thursday, September 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This town hall will be taking place at the York Electric Co-Op, located at 1385 Alexander Love Hwy in York. We'll get started at 5:30 PM with a legislative update on recent votes, major initiatives in Congress, and a look at what's ahead over the next 6-12 months. And of course I'll take questions from those in attendance. This town hall should last around an hour, depending on how many questions there are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, I've invited a couple of experts from a great organization called Americans for Prosperity to attend this event. They'll be speaking for a short while about some of the wasteful spending coming out of Washington, and what effect that will have on us and our future generations. In fact, wasteful spending will likely be a big theme for this particular town hall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you live in western York County or eastern Cherokee County, this may be the closest event to you. However, I'm holding several other town halls that week around South Carolina’s 5th congressional district, so please check out the &lt;a href="https://norman.house.gov/calendar/?Timeframe=Future"&gt;Events page&lt;/a&gt; on my website for additional town halls if this date or location isn't convenient.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*** Also, two important notes:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First, if you or someone you know needs assistance with any department of the federal government, I'll have an expert case worker from my office in attendance who will be able to help you directly. This includes the VA, IRS, immigration, passports, Social Security, Medicare, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And second, if there are any updates or changes to this town hall, that information will be posted here and on &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/RepRalphNorman/events"&gt;my congressional Facebook page&lt;/a&gt;. Please be sure to check back closer to the event to make sure you have the latest information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope to see you there!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;=== UPDATE 8/20/2021 ===&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ve received numerous questions about masks. Specifically, whether they’ll be “required” at my upcoming town halls. You all know I’m not in favor of mandates. Instead, here’s what I’d like everyone to know:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you wish to wear a mask, that’s obviously fine. Understand, however, there will be individuals in attendance who choose NOT to wear a mask. Please treat them with decency and respect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Likewise, if you do not wish to wear a mask, understand there will be individuals in attendance who choose TO wear one. Please treat them with decency and respect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next, I realize this is obvious, but if you’re symptomatic – I don’t care how mild your symptoms are – do not come. If you should be in quarantine or isolation pursuant to CDC guidelines, do not come. If there’s any chance your presence could jeopardize the health of others around you, do not come. Please see the links below for additional guidance from the CDC.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And finally, if you can’t make it in-person, I’ll be holding a live telephone town hall on Thursday, September 23&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; at 6:00 PM. (The date is firm, but the time may shift a little.) Details on that event will be posted soon.&lt;br /&gt;

It would be a great way for all of us to say thanks to them.&lt;br /&gt;

Please see the links below for additional guidance from the CDC.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And finally, if you can’t make it in-person, I’ll be holding a live telephone town hall on Thursday, September 23&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;at 6:00 PM. (The date is firm, but the time may shift a little.) Details on that event will be posted soon.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Union County Town Hall</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I'll be hosting a live town hall in Union County during the lunch hour on Tuesday, August 31&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This town hall will be taking place at Midway BBQ, located at 881 Main Street in Buffalo, SC. We'll get started at 12:00 noon with a legislative update on recent votes, major initiatives in Congress, and a look at what's ahead over the next 6-12 months. And of course I'll take questions from those in attendance. This town hall should last around an hour, depending on how many questions there are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you live in Union County, southern Cherokee County, or western Chester County, this may be the closest event to you. However, I'm holding several other town halls that week around South Carolina’s 5th congressional district, so please check out the &lt;a href="https://norman.house.gov/calendar/?Timeframe=Future"&gt;Events page&lt;/a&gt; on my website for additional town halls if this date or location isn't convenient.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*** Also, three important notes:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First, Midway BBQ has been kind enough to offer their space for this event as a service to the community. While there's obviously no cost to attend and no obligation to purchase lunch, please consider Midway for your lunch plans. (I know I will.) It would be a great way for all of us to say thanks to them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Second, if you or someone you know needs assistance with any department of the federal government, I'll have an expert case worker from my office in attendance who will be able to help you directly. This includes the VA, IRS, immigration, passports, Social Security, Medicare, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And finally, if there are any updates or changes to this town hall, that information will be posted here and on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/RepRalphNorman/events"&gt;my congressional Facebook page&lt;/a&gt;. Please be sure to check back closer to the event to make sure you have the latest information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope to see you there!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;=== UPDATE 8/20/2021 ===&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ve received numerous questions about masks. Specifically, whether they’ll be “required” at my upcoming town halls. You all know I’m not in favor of mandates. Instead, here’s what I’d like everyone to know:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you wish to wear a mask, that’s obviously fine. Understand, however, there will be individuals in attendance who choose NOT to wear a mask. Please treat them with decency and respect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Likewise, if you do not wish to wear a mask, understand there will be individuals in attendance who choose TO wear one. Please treat them with decency and respect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Next, I realize this is obvious, but if you’re symptomatic – I don’t care how mild your symptoms are – do not come. If you should be in quarantine or isolation pursuant to CDC guidelines, do not come. If there’s any chance your presence could jeopardize the health of others around you, do not come. Please see the links below for additional guidance from the CDC.&lt;br /&gt;
