From a verified voter in Inwood, WVRelease the Epstein files
As a concerned citizen, i urge members of Congress to support the release of the sealed Epstein case files. Making these records public is essential for transparency, accountability, and justice. I emphasize that survivors of Epstein’s alleged crimes cannot fully heal or move forward without a clear
From a constituent in Barboursville, WVOpposition to Hemp Ban in Federal Spending Bill
I am writing as your constituent to express my deep concern about the hemp-derived cannabinoid ban included in the recent federal spending bill. While safety and responsible regulation are important, the provision as written punishes responsible adults, removes a vital tool for many people managing
From a constituent in Buckhannon, WVRestore healthcare subsidies, fund SNAP, stop using families for political sway
Dear Senator Capito, I am a West Virginian and a constituent. Right now, families across our state are being forced to choose between food, medicine, and keeping a roof over their heads because Congress has not done its job. This is unacceptable. I am writing to demand immediate, concrete action o
From a constituent in Buckhannon, WVI am writing in outrage after the former president’s public declaration that he will withhold food assistance until Democrats “open up the government.” This is not leadership. It is cruelty and hostage-taking against our own people. Millions of Americans—working families, seniors, veterans, and chi
From a constituent in Fairmont, WVAre we becoming China?
When will Congress speak up against the president's statements about desiring authoritarianism like in China? His most recent visit is just fueling his belief that he should have absolute authority, and it's disgusting to hear him lavish praise on a world leader who oppresses his people and has his
From a constituent in Fairmont, WVStop the killing
Stop the President from usurping Congressional war powers. He recently said: “I don’t think we’re gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we’re just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country.” These statements are concerning as he and his "Department of War" shoot do
From a constituent in Buckhannon, WVYou seem to forget that public service means serving the people — not starving them. SNAP, Medicaid, housing aid, and essential services are lifelines for millions, not bargaining chips for political games. Right now, families can’t buy food, pay rent, or access healthcare because Congress refuses
From a constituent in Buckhannon, WVThis shutdown is a choice — your choice. By refusing to negotiate like real leaders, you’re holding the entire country hostage and harming the very people you’re supposed to represent. You’ve shuttered SNAP and are gutting safety-net services that keep millions of Americans — children, seniors, vet
From a constituent in Buckhannon, WVFund SNAP. Restore HEALTHCARE. Stop gutting our social services for your billionaire buddies!
From a constituent in Fairmont, WVProtect the history of the White House
I'm writing with concern and outrage about demolition at the White House. We were promised by the president and his representatives that the historic building would not be impacted by his vanity project. Yet we see the destruction and have learned that there was no proper cultural resource or archit
From a constituent in Buckhannon, WVThis government shutdown is on you. It is Congress’s job to negotiate and pass a real budget — not to play games with continuing resolutions and blame the other party. You’ve had nearly 11 months to write and pass your own budget, yet all we’ve seen are recycled CRs that keep the government running
From a constituent in Buckhannon, WVdemolition of the East Wing is unacceptable
The demolition of the East Wing is unacceptable. The White House belongs to the American people, not to any one family or political party. Any changes to its structure or design should follow preservation law, include input from historians, and be fully transparent to the public. Ripping out parts
From a constituent in Buckhannon, WVRelease the $6B SNAP Reserve Fund
The SNAP reserve fund — about $6 billion — exists to prevent hunger during funding gaps. It’s an emergency cushion Congress created so families wouldn’t go hungry if a shutdown happened. Right now, the GOP-led House and Senate Republicans are choosing not to authorize USDA to use that fund beyond a
From a constituent in Buckhannon, WVLet them eat cake didn’t end well
While West Virginians are wondering how to afford food, medicine, and rent during your shutdown, I see members of Congress lounging on patios, smiling for cameras, and treating governance like a social club. It’s disgraceful. You’re gutting the very services your constituents rely on—SNAP, Medicaid
From a constituent in Buckhannon, WVDoes the God you invoke demand you harm the poor, the sick, the struggling?
Why are you purposefully gutting safety net programs that your own constituents depend on? SNAP, Medicaid, the ACA — these aren’t “handouts.” They’re lifelines for working families, veterans, seniors, and children. You’ve had fifteen years to propose a real alternative to the Affordable Care Act —
From a constituent in Buckhannon, WVNo healthcare? No deal.
I support the shutdown, because it’s the only way to expose how unserious the Republican Party has become about governing. Cut the crap and start negotiating in good faith. The Affordable Care Act was the compromise. Democrats wanted Medicare for All; Republicans wanted a free-market system that le
