My staff presents a program to Arkansas elementary students about the importance of the American and Arkansas flags and what the symbols on these patriotic symbols represent. During the 2014-2015 school year my staff was in more than 50 classrooms around the state. This is a presentation before third, fourth and fifth grade students at Stuttgart's St. John's Lutheran.

For 56 years members of the Fort Smith Regional Chamber of Commerce have come to Washington, DC to talk with members of the Arkansas Congressional Delegation. Boozman met with members during their annual fly-in on Wednesday, April 22.
Sen. Boozman, a member of the State, Foreign Operations Subcommittee, participated in the hearing: Diplomacy, Development & National Security and welcomed Little Rock resident Scott Ford, CEO of Westrock Group, LLC before the committee. Ford testified because he is active in international development from a private sector standpoint and has had much success. As he points out in his testimony "we estimate that the sum total of our coffee activities in Rwanda alone, over the past six years, put upwards of $100 million directly into the pockets of small-holder coffee farmers."

The "Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act" can save lives. It can restore dignity to the victims of these heinous crimes. It can help end modern day slavery. Yet, Senate Democrats continue to block consideration of the bill over standard language they have admitted was in the bill all along. I took to the Senate floor to urge my colleagues to drop their manufactured outrage and stand with the victims by passing this bill.
