Save the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

The Trump administration is dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) because Elon Musk and Trump's other billionaire friends don’t like the agency and its work to protect consumers and their rights. On Saturday, February 1, 2025, Trump fired Rohit Chopra, the director under whos

March 4 Liberty on March 4

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union. I disagree. They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber. It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.

Rejoin allies against Russian aggression toward Ukraine

The United States' votes at the United Nations siding with Russia regarding the invasion of Ukraine are deeply concerning. Aligning with authoritarian regimes like Russia and North Korea on resolutions condemning Moscow's illegal war undermines American values of democracy and territorial sovereignt

Oppose Unlawful Dismantling of Federal Government by DOGE Firings

The mass firing of thousands of dedicated federal employees across critical government agencies like FEMA, the IRS, CDC, DOD, and more is alarming and a severe dereliction of duty by the Trump administration. This reckless dismantling of the federal workforce, carried out by unelected billionaire El

OPPOSE THE BUDGET PROPOSAL

I am writing to you today to oppose the budget being proposed by the Republican Party. This would hurt many everyday Americans such as myself in the interest of giving tax cuts to billionaires, who have no reason to need them aside from their own greed. It is unethical, it will not trickle down to h

Protect USPS from illegal Trump takeover!

I am writing to you today to call upon you to resist Donald Trump's illegitimate effort to take over the US Postal Service. The Postal Service Act of 1792 was passed by Congress and signed by George Washington and it clearly puts the Post Office in Congress's control. It is unpatriotic to undo the F

DOGE, RFK Jr., and Ukraine

Protect Mental Health Care: Stop the Misinformation on SSRIs

I am writing to express my deep concern over Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent attacks on selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and other antidepressant medications. His claims—linking these life-saving medications to school shootings—are not only unfounded but also dangerous. Spreading misin

Vote No on HR722

Access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare, including safe and legal abortion services, is essential for protecting women's health, autonomy, and equal rights. Restricting or criminalizing abortion will not eliminate the need for it, but will force many to resort to unsafe methods, risking seri

Save Medicaid and SNAP

House Republicans have released a budget that seeks to eliminate funding for Medicaid and SNAP. You must do everything in your power to stop this from happening. Millions of Americans would lose their access to healthcare and the ability to regularly eat. The effects of this would be especially dev

Vote no on the SAVE Act

Vote NO on HR 22 - The SAVE Act. It would disenfranchise millions of voters and would especially target women, transgender people, and lower income people. Please reject this bill and any future bills that would make it harder for people to vote.

Stop the Illegal Power Grab

This administration has already attempted many illegal maneuvers, and they show no signs of stopping. Yesterday, they only reaffirmed that they will not respect the rule of law, our checks and balances, or the constitution. This is unlawful, dangerous, and it has to end. Please do everything in you

Strengthening oversight, upholding rule of law and democracy

The administration has engaged in numerous actions that legal experts argue violate federal laws and defy constitutional principles.

Vote No on HR722

I urge you to reconsider H.R. 722, the bill to restrict reproductive rights nationwide. This uncompromising legislation would have devastating consequences for women's health and autonomy over their own bodies. Respect for personal freedom and medical privacy should be paramount. Criminalizing abort
