From a verified voter in Erieville, NYRepresentative Williams, you are a member of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. This committee troubles me. It feels like McCarthyism all over again with Elise Stefanek targeting university officials that do not lean toward her political camp. The resignation of Claudine Gay and
From a verified voter in Lander, WYI implore you to reconsider inviting Prime Minister Netanyahu to address Congress. His actions and policies have violated international law and human rights norms, amounting to war crimes against the Palestinian people. Extending an invitation would be seen as condoning his government's unacceptable
From a constituent in Winfield, ILRespect student speech, avoid heavy-handed campus crackdowns
The recent surge in arrests and use of force against student protesters at universities across the nation is deeply concerning. While colleges have a responsibility to maintain safety on campus, responding to peaceful demonstrations with police violence and mass arrests undermines fundamental princi
From a constituent in Chicago, ILUS Complicity in Genocide and "Dissent must never lead to disorder.”
I am deeply disturbed by your words, “Dissent must never lead to disorder.” Remember the words of Martin Luther King, Jr.: "I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom
From a constituent in Chicago, ILVote no on HR 6090
I strongly urge you to oppose H.R. 6090. This bill will do nothing to protect Jewish Americans, but it will do everything to diminish free speech, encourage violence, and support genocide. Israel's far-right government is not representative of all Jews. Many, many Jews have been protesting that go
From a constituent in Red Wing, MNDefend criticism of Israel's policies as free speech
It is crucial to distinguish legitimate criticism of the policies and actions of the Israeli government from antisemitism, which is hateful discrimination against Jewish people based solely on their ethnicity or religion. Conflating anti-Zionism with antisemitism is an attempt to shut down valid dis
From a verified voter in Mount Pleasant, MIDr. King said in his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” that white moderates are “more devoted to ‘order’ than justice” and that they prefer “a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.” In light of your comments on May 2 about the pro-Palesti

From a verified voter in Bastrop, TXThe NYPD fired at least one firearm during the brutal attack and raid on the students at Columbia University peacefully protesting Israel's genocide this past Tuesday. All of the rhetoric about students being violent, or being overtaken by "outside agitators" is an ineffective tactic to draw attenti
From a verified voter in New York, NYThe right to peacefully protest is a fundamental democratic freedom that should be upheld for all people, regardless of nationality or ideology. Drawing parallels to authoritarian regimes that routinely suppress dissent only serves to undermine this core principle. As Americans, we must reject any a
From a constituent in Davison, MILegalize cannabis federally
I am writing in response to classifying cannabis as a schedule 3 drug. This is definitely a step in the right direction. However, I don’t see the issues of cannabis being addressed with this change. I live in a state that cannabis is legal for medical and recreational use. Changing the schedule does
From a verified voter in Felch, MII am a school social worker in rural Michigan. I was in college in 2016 when I voted in my first presidential election and spent the next four years advocating and promoting democratic causes and values to ensure that we did not see a repeat of a Trump presidency.

From a verified voter in Los Angeles, CAHR 6090 is an Orwellian Nightmare
The passage of H.R. 6090, the Antisemitism Awareness Act, is a blatant attack on free speech rights protected by the First Amendment. This bill falsely equates legitimate criticism of the Israeli government's policies with antisemitic discrimination. Considering the horrific number of civilian death
From a constituent in Saint James City, FLIsrael must stop the aggression
Mr President. I am grateful for your leadership in so many policy areas. However, I write to you today with sadness and anger. We are investing so much money in the bombing of Gaza. I realize that only a portion of the aid is for armaments but, bombs don’t bring peace. . They bring orphaned child

From a verified voter in Charlotte, NCYour Speech Today
Your speech today is a disgrace. You are either totally uninformed or willfully ignoring the facts. Zionist and cops are the only violent actors at US University, and you are giving them the greenlight to attack their fellow citizens. You claim that America isn't an authoritarian country and the peo
From a constituent in Jackson Heights, NYWe see you: you put genocide before the safety of young Americans
Your attempts to conflate anti-genocide protests with anti-semitism are grotesque and dangerous. The fact that you would rather broadly smear young students (and millions of your own former voters) than stop supporting Israel’s ongoing genocidal campaign is beyond disgusting. How dare you put these

Dude. Wake up. Listen to these protesting kids. They’re on the right side of history about this. Your allegiance to Israel is putting America’s future at risk.

From a verified voter in Forest Knolls, CAEach week I read that you are getting close to a cease fire in Gaza. I do understand that diplomacy takes time, but every day without a cease fire is a death sentence to innocent people. It seems that the Israeli government is taking advantage of diplomacy! At the very least our country must join
From a verified voter in Cochise, AZIsrael is a monster, a serial killer on a rampage. Israel is committing heinous war crimes under the cover of "defense". But defense does not require the murder of babies, of children. Defense does not require the extermination of an entire race. I have given hope that YOU, Mr President, will show
From a constituent in Chesterfield, VANo to HR6090
The rise of antisemitism is a concerning issue that demands attention and action.

From a constituent in Merritt Island, FLStop funding Netanyahu’s war
I’m pleased that you were able to get Ukraine funded once again, but another 26 billion to Israel to continue to kill tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians is unconscionable.

From a constituent in Chicago, ILWhat a sad day, watching way too many democrats work with republicans to curtail free speech.
