Pass Kennedy Center Preservation Act Before Irreversible Demolition Can Occur

As your constituent, I urge you to introduce, cosponsor, and pass a Kennedy Center Preservation Act making clear that no President, board, agency, contractor, or other person may demolish or substantially destroy the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts unless Congress first approves it by

Republicans Enabled This Costly War. End It. The Iran war is now seven months old, and it is getting worse, not better, because Congress keeps letting it. This week alone: Houthi forces closed in on another shipping chokepoint, and oil jumped again, with Brent crude spiking over 3% in a single se

Mike Johnson just called a HOUSE RECESS until NOVEMBER 9th. This is an affront to democracy and fair process. It deprives us of representation and deliberation by our elected representatives in the House. It is also an abuse of the speaker's role. And it gives a middle finger to all who have to sho

Prevent the Closure, Renaming and Possible Demolition of the Kennedy Center

I urge Congress to act immediately to protect the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The President should not be permitted to close, rename, fundamentally alter, or potentially demolish the national institution Congress created as America’s performing arts center and living memorial to

Set Enforceable Safeguards Before Advanced AI Causes Serious Harm

As a constituent, I urge Congress to establish enforceable safeguards for the most powerful artificial-intelligence systems. Systems capable of catastrophic harm should not advance without meaningful human control, independent testing, and public accountability. HUMAN BEINGS MUST REMAIN IN CONTROL

Deportation Cases Must Not Proceed When Government Withholds Needed Records

As a constituent, I urge you to investigate reports that federal immigration agencies are making it harder for immigrants to get government records they need in deportation cases. Some may help prove a person has the legal right to stay in the United States. Congress should stop improper delays, exc

Block the EPA's Repeal of Carbon Pollution Standards for Power Plants

The EPA is about to finalize the repeal of carbon pollution standards for coal- and gas-fired power plants, and I need you to fight it. Lee Zeldin's announcement would gut rules that were on track to cut 1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2047. The electricity sector already accoun

Preserve Due Process for Refugees

As a constituent, I urge you to protect the 30-day opportunity refugees now have to defend their legal status before the government terminates it. The Department of Homeland Security is preparing a rule that could remove or shorten that protection. The proposal is identified as RIN 1615-AD23. REFUG

Please raise your voice to support Rep Al Green's articles of impeachment recently filed: H.Res.1486 Impeaching President Donald John Trump for High Crimes and Misdemeanors. In the house, sign on and vote for this resolution. In the senate, convict and impeach. You, Trump, and Representative Green

I urge you to vote against the Clarity Act. The bill will formally deregulate crypto markets and prevent the government from enforcing any action to protect investors. This is a dangerous change to our financial system that will harm the American public with almost no tangible benefits. It also will

Trump statement that he would pay each citizen $5000 if the Republicans maintain Congress is an outright bribe and needs to be called out clearly as such! I am disgusted by Senator Collins couched response saying it is extraordinarily expensive, but not saying it is undemocratic to offer money for

Are you "concerned" enough about Trump's insane tariff war with Canada to DO SOMETHING? Mainers are suffering. It is obvious to everyone that you only vote against Trump when your vote doesn't matter. I encourage you to be courageous and speak up. Stop the attacks on our ally, Canada. DO SOMETHING!

Please Support a 32-Hour Workweek and AI Safeguards

I am writing as your constituent to ask you to support Senator Bernie Sanders’s proposal for a 32-hour, four-day workweek with no cut in pay, as well as sensible federal rules for artificial intelligence. New technology has always changed the way Americans work and oftentimes saves hours of dehuman

Protect Political Speech From FCC Pressure

As your constituent, I am deeply concerned that the FCC is using its regulatory and licensing power in ways that pressure broadcasters over political speech and candidate interviews. That poses a serious threat to the First Amendment and to the public’s right to hear political views without governme

What are you doing to get justice for the survivors of the Epstein sex trafficking ring? What are you doing to protect children from other sex trafficking rings? Your silence and lack of action says that you think it’s OK for children to be sex trafficked. Is that where your morals lie?

At the Republican convention, Donald Trump bastardized the pledge of allegiance to be a pledge to him. This is not just Trump being Trump, this is the behavior of a dictator. Are you OK with the United States being run by a dictator? It is your job as members of Congress to defend the constitution,

NPR recently revealed Elon Musk’s communications with a ex-girlfriend saying that he had lasers in space that helped to elect Trump in 2024. Any tampering with the election process is illegal and should not be allowed no matter how rich a person is. Congress needs to investigate this fully without b

Bribery is an impeachable offense. It doesn't matter whether the bribe is made with fraudulent intent. Bribery is illegal under 52 U.S. Code section 10307: (“Whoever . . . pays or offers to pay . . . for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years.”) It is a

I urge you not to confirm Heidi Overton as the next Commissioner of the FDA. She is anti-choice and will not protect women’s reproductive rights. This has gone far enough. Please do not vote to move her confirmation forward.

I am writing because I believe Congress needs to treat the rapid development of increasingly autonomous artificial intelligence as an urgent national-security and public-safety issue.
