1:00PM – 2:00PM: “Healthcare Policy Speak 101 (http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/ellmers-urges-men-bring-policy-down-womans-level)” by Rep. Renee Elmers

4:00PM-5:00PM “Gender Equality in the Workplace (http://www.politico.com/story/2014/12/blake-farenthold-lawsuit-discrimination-113620.html)” by Rep. Blake Farenthold
Friday, January 16th
9:00AM – 11:00 AM: Minority Outreach Breakout Session featuring Majority Whip Steve Scalise (http://thehill.com/homenews/house/229309-scalise-voted-against-apology-for-slavery-in-1996), Reps. Randy Weber (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2015/01/13/randy-weber-and-the-hitler-tweet-how-not-to-apologize/), Peter King (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/24/peter-king-muslim-terrorism_n_6043264.html), and Bob Goodlatte (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/14/voting-rights-act-congress_n_6470850.html?1421254582)
11:00AM – 11:30AM: “Big Bank Giveaways (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/14/volcker-rule-delay_n_6469902.html)” by Rep. Jeb Hensarling
11:30PM – 12:00PM: “Deportation for Dummies (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2014/08/05/undocumented-immigrant-confronts-rep-steve-king-at-fundraiser/)” by Rep. Steve King
“House Republicans enter their retreat marred by internal dysfunction and plagued by scandal,” said Tyrone Gayle of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “From bending over backwards to appease the extremists in their party to defending Steve Scalise’s troubling affiliations with White Supremacists and anti-Semites to more Wall Street giveaways, it’s clear that no matter where House Republicans go for their retreat, they cannot escape their flawed priorities and agenda.”
