No Birthday Military Parade

I am asking that you step up to stop the wasteful military parade for Trump's birthday. Instead, stand for fulfilling grants that have been cancelled for research for heart defects in infants. UW research into Alzheimer's disease. Instead push to rehire needed workers at the FAA who make out s

Why are you opposed to an amendment clarifying that ICE may not detain or deport US citizens?

Disgraceful abandonment of constitutional rights

I was disgusted to hear. of your and other republican’s performance as a member of the House Judiciary Committee. Our constitution guarantees EVERYONE due process. We are a nation of immigrants. Every single one of us with the exception of native Americans came from somewhere. Everyone who comes is

Stand for your voters, not authoritarianism

Dear Rep. Baumgartner, I am one of your constituents from Walla Walla. It is apparent that Trump’s tariffs and policies are BAD for Americans. Bad for the people who elected you. You and every member of Congress must make a choice. Do you stand with a lawless authoritarian who is crashing our econom

Stop Trumps assault on our constitution and democracy

This is the most corrupt administration America has ever known. It is despicable and destroying our nation, stripping it of all that is good, kind, and noble. The administration is not only openly flaunting court directives- but makes assaults on the constitution daily- openly pushing (not a joke)

Support funding for NPR and PBS

Maintain robust support for Ukraine amid Russian aggression

<message> I am really distressed by Rubio, Vance's, and Trump's recent statements about Ukraine and Peace. They seem to be setting it up to not only Blame Ukraine for the war- but for the lack of a peace agreement. Maintaining pressure on Russia is the only thing that can bring them to the table. Co

FDA & USDA cuts are poisoning our country

The country is in crisis, and has been for the past few months. In the midst of the constant chaos, our food is becoming drastically less safe as cuts to the FDA and USDA force ESSENTIAL SAFETY PROGRAMS out of existence.

Protect our constitution: take action today

Today, President Donald Trump publicly violated his constitutional oath by declaring on Truth Social: "We cannot give everyone a trial, because to do so would take, without exaggeration, 200 years." This statement explicitly rejects the constitutional right to due process, guaranteed to every indivi

Swiftly investigate DOGE cybersecurity breach, protect confidential data

As a person who has traveled and lived within former Soviet countries, I know the insidious impact that Russian spying has on the public, trust levels, and ability to act democratically. The alleged activities by DOGE in accessing and potentially mishandling sensitive data from the National Labor Re
