Abolish exploitative fees on Palestinians fleeing Gaza crisis

The practice of charging exorbitant fees to Palestinians fleeing violence and genocide in Gaza as they seek refuge in Egypt is a gross violation of human rights and an exploitation of their vulnerable situation. It is unconscionable that those already suffering immense hardships due to the ongoing c

You must immediately and fiercely speak out against the politicians and lobbying groups who are urging states to ban mask wearing in public. Despite what capitalist-driven rhetoric would have everyone believe, we are still in the midst of a global COVID-19 pandemic. On top of this, there is an incr

Please protect citizens from another mortgage predatory lending bubble

Gentlemen, I recently heard about this trend where people are getting their homes foreclosed despite being told their 2nd mortgages were paid off decades ago. These mortgages are being bundled and sold just like before the Great Recession. Thousands of people are either being foreclosed on or ab

Palestine

Your behavior in the face of an active genocide has been noted and will be a primary factor in the general election in November. I cannot express the disgust I feel for this government and it's refusal to obey the will of the people.

Antisemitism Awareness Doesn’t Stifle Free Speech

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the Antisemitism Awareness Act recently introduced in the House. While I unequivocally condemn antisemitism and believe Congress should take steps to combat it, this bill is the wrong approach as it threatens free speech rights protected by the First A

End the Evil in Gaza

The genocide in Gaza, supported by US, is completely unforgivable. Stop support to Israel and Netanyahu immediately. This is an outrage. Prove to the American people that you care about life. Children are being cruelly targeted and we are providing the ammunition. I am disgusted and appalled by the

You do realize that the Chandra X-ray Observatory was put into orbit by Columbia, right? You are really going to force it into an early demise? Preserve Chandra. It has so much science ahead of it.

Support Ranked Choice Voting: Protect Voter Empowerment

The proposed S.B. No. 137, which seeks to prohibit ranked choice voting and penalize its use by withholding Local Government Fund distributions, is a step back in our democratic process. Ranked choice voting is a tool that empowers voters, allowing them to express their preferences more accurately.

Give Ohioans Privacy

Ohio has recently made the news in the ways it has been moving to protect children online in social media. However I do not think we have gone far enough. I feel that Ohio should enact a law modeled after the California Consumer Privacy Act or the General Data Protection Regulation. I like many Ohi

How shameful for you to support this ghastly and misinformed resolution. First, i

Demand better for Gaza

The despicable violence must end. The fact that we as a nation are tolerating let alone providing unconditional military assistance to a country that is breaking international law, killing civilians indiscriminately, and targeting international aid organizations makes me disgusted to be an American.

Today, the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review (JCARR) will decide if anti-transgender administrative rules proposed by Governor DeWine. Protect trans health. These rules are extreme government overreach and exceed the scope of ODH’s authority. No on the “Gender Transition” rules.

What does a Great America look like?

Senator Vance, I was recently inspired by our President’s word at the State of the Union, where he said regarding Russia “We will not walk away. We will not bow down. I will not bow down.” Russia, whose soldiers have killed children in front of parents and raped women of all ages. Russia, that cont
