WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Biden signed into law Congressman Aaron Bean (Fl-04) and Congresswoman Cammack’s bill to rename the Melrose, Florida post office after local letter carrier Pamela “Pam” Jane Rock, who tragically died after sustaining injuries while delivering mail in northeast Florida.

“Pam had a servant’s heart, and it was obvious in the way she lived her life. While her time on this earth was tragically cut short, she served the U.S. Post Service with passion and integrity,” said Congressman Bean. “Designating the Melrose Post Office in her name will honor her legacy in the community she loved. I am very proud to see our bill signed into law officially memorializing Pam’s memory and commitment to Floridians. Continue reading →

TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Attorney General Ashley Moody is fighting back against Biden’s attempt to wrongfully regulate gun owners. For decades, federal law has made a distinction between firearms dealers, who must purchase a federal license to sell firearms, and private individuals making private sales, a protected activity. Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives recently enacted a new rule that requires thousands of law-abiding citizens to register as dealers and navigate a complex bureaucracy to simply buy, sell or trade firearms with friends and neighbors—a constitutionally protected activity. This rule also burdens citizens with additional costs. Attorney General Moody is pushing back against this unnecessary burden on second amendment rights of Floridians.

Attorney General Ashley Moody said, “This is Biden’s latest step in trying to take guns away from law-abiding Americans. We are fighting back against this federal overreach that would force thousands of law-abiding gun owners to register as federal firearms dealers and navigate a federal bureaucracy. It’s unlawful and reflects a lack of respect for our second amendment rights. We won’t stand for it.” Continue reading →
