Bishop Votes Against Joint Resolution

“This resolution is another political ploy.”

 

WASHINGTON – The House of Representatives voted on H.J. Res. 46 relating to a national emergency declared by the President on February 15, 2019. Rep. Rob Bishop (UT-01) voted against the resolution and issued the following statement:

 

“I voted against this resolution because it does nothing to solve the issue of border security or properly limit executive overreach. Bringing this vote to the floor is nothing more than a political stunt.

 

“I don’t think the President should have been forced to make this emergency declaration, but I do recognize his legal power to do so. Congress ceded this power to the President in 1976, and they were wrong.

 

“Congressional Democrats could have avoided this problem by adequately funding border security, but for political purposes, they did not. This resolution is another political ploy.

 

“I would encourage my colleagues to actually formulate legislation that will reform the National Emergencies Act to permanently limit the potential for presidential overreach. Not just for this President, but for all those who follow.”

February 26, 2019 - Silver Lake, CA - Paper Jackets, the captivating Silver Lake-based synth-pop sextet have premiered the music video for hit single "Trigger" with Atwood Magazine today. Taken from their re-released debut EP, Don't Lose Your Head, Atwood shares that the "unhinged anthem is a vibrant and impassioned expression of unity" while encapsulating every pop, rock and synth influence of the band. The video, directed by Ivanna Borin, showcases their fun and creative history. Fans can check out the video and an exclusive interview with frontman James Mason on AtwoodMagazine.com today.

 

On the track, frontman James Mason shares "Spontaneous, delirious but not in denial , this is a song about falling right to edge of our limitations. Music makes us feel limitless, impervious to consequence and somehow even though deep down we know nothing comes without a price we've made peace with living for the moment and coloring outside the lines from time to time."

 

Recently re-released via Selma Records, Don't Lose Your Head showcases Paper Jackets' unique sleek, souped-up style of synth-pop that equally takes its cues from the current crop of genre peers like Walk The Moon, Smallpools, CHVRCHES and Cherry Pools, but also legendary acts like The Ronettes and The Beach Boys. These decades-spanning influences and an overall indie aesthetic create a blend of pop and rock that's all at once topical and timeless. Produced by Ethan Kaufmann (Avril Lavigne, Driver Friendly), Don't Lose Your Head is available for streaming today at https://paper-jackets.lnk.to/MQzSNFP.
