Support and Pass the Right To Record Act

Co-sponsor and fight to pass the Right To Record Act. Rep. Maxwell Frost and Sen. Richard Blumenthal have introduced a bill that does something simple and necessary: it protects citizens' First Amendment right to record federal agents in public and gives people a legal path to compensation when that

Stop the Strikes on Iran — End This Now

End the military strikes on Iran immediately. Bombing water facilities is not a military tactic — it is a war crime. Civilian populations depend on water infrastructure to survive, and destroying it guarantees mass suffering and death among people who have no role in any geopolitical dispute. This i

Stop Stochastic Terrorism: Hold Officials Accountable

The FBI reported 11,679 hate crime incidents in 2024 with 14,243 victims. Anti-Jewish hate crimes hit their highest level ever recorded. Political violence incidents increased 40% in the first half of 2025, with 96 deaths and 329 injuries. Mass-casualty attacks increased 187.5%. The evidence is not

Social Security is not an abstract policy issue for my family—it is something we are actively relying on and planning our future around. My wife is already drawing Social Security benefits at age 67, and I am approximately six years away from retirement. Because of this, I am asking you to strongly

The recent Government Accountability Office report on the Camp East Montana immigration detention center in Texas raises serious concerns about the use of taxpayer funds and the treatment of detainees. According to the report, the facility failed to properly document use-of-force incidents, did not

Stop the DOJ's Unprecedented Denaturalization Push

Block the Justice Department's move to strip citizenship from 17 naturalized Americans. This denaturalization push, announced June 8, 2026, is unprecedented in scope and sets a dangerous precedent that puts every naturalized citizen at risk. Citizenship is not a provisional status — once granted, it

Pass S. 1751 — STOP Screwworms Act — and Restore APHIS Staffing

New World screwworm has been confirmed in U.S. livestock for the first time in 60 years. Six cases in Texas and New Mexico, spreading from the border to the Hill Country in five days. The United States spent 40 years and $750 million eradicating this pest. The agency that kept it out — APHIS — lost

I am deeply concerned by reports that a second detainee has died in less than two months at the Winn Correctional Center immigration detention facility in Louisiana. According to reporting by the Associated Press, recent inspection findings at the facility identified unsanitary conditions, deficienc

Oppose the USPS Proposed Rule Requiring States to Submit Mail Voter Lists

The U.S. Postal Service published a proposed rule on June 2, 2026 that would require states to submit lists of every mail ballot voter, including names, addresses, and unique barcodes on every ballot envelope. USPS could refuse to deliver ballots that do not match the list. 46 million Americans vot

Vote No on the $70 Billion ICE Funding Bill

Vote no on the $70 billion ICE and Border Patrol funding bill. This agency should be defunded and shut down entirely, along with every detention center it operates. Pouring tens of billions into ICE doesn't make anyone safer — it expands a system that has already killed Americans like Renee Good and

Stop RFK Jr.'s Harmful Autism Agenda at NIH

Condemn Secretary Kennedy's press conference framing of autism and push back on the NIH research agenda he is directing. What Kennedy described was not science — it was stigma dressed up in policy language, and it will cause real harm to autistic people and their families. Kennedy stood at a federa

Vote No on FISA Section 702 Reauthorization

Vote no on reauthorizing FISA Section 702 before the June 12 deadline. The intelligence community wants a clean extension with zero reforms — that's unacceptable. This program has already been used to conduct nearly 3 million warrantless searches on Americans, with 278,000 conducted improperly in ju

Family farms are going bankrupt at alarming rates. Unfocused trade tariffs have caused major trading partners such as China, Mexico, and Canada to permanently shift purchases of agricultural commodities to other countries. The damage to American agriculture is long-lasting and may not be easily reve

I am deeply concerned that U.S. policy toward Iran is increasing the risk of a wider regional war. One of the reasons many opposed this conflict from the beginning was the fear that diplomacy would be abandoned in favor of escalation. Iran's trust in the United States was severely damaged when the T

**Block Trump's Voting Executive Order — It's Unconstitutional and Unworkable** Block Trump's March 31 executive order on voting. It's unconstitutional, unworkable, and will suppress legitimate votes before the November midterms. The Constitution gives states and Congress — not the president — the a

Summer is only beginning, yet deadly heat waves are already sweeping across Europe, India, Canada, and the United States. Record-breaking temperatures ar

America needs a serious long-term transportation strategy, not temporary political gimmicks. Suspending the federal gasoline tax might save drivers up to 18.4 cents per gallon in the short term, but it would further drain the Highway Trust Fund that already pays for road construction, bridge repairs

I’m a Texan who believes strongly in free markets, free trade, and the long-term strength of American agriculture. Many Iowa farmers still support President Trump personally, but they are also struggling financially because of the tariff-driven trade war. Their concerns should matter to all of us in

Demand Oversight of the Key Bridge Rebuild

The Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement has nearly tripled in cost. The original estimate was $1.8 billion. The Maryland Transportation Authority revised it to $4.3-5.2 billion in November 2025. Then in April 2026, the state dropped its primary contractor, Kiewit Infrastructure, after internal esti

We Demand Hearings on J6 Fund & DOJ Deletion of Data

On May 26, the Department of Justice deleted its public database of nearly 1,600 January 6 criminal cases, including documented convictions for assaulting police officers. The deletion came nine days after the administration announced the $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund. Those two facts belon

Oppose the Green Card Memo That Is Gutting Legal Immigration

A May 21 USCIS memo gutted the standard green card process for 1.2 million legal immigrants, including H-1B workers already employed by U.S. companies and spouses of American citizens. They are being told to self-deport and re-apply through consulates running 6 to 18 months behind. The Cato Institut

Close Alligator Alcatraz and Investigate DHS for Human Rights Abuses

Tell Ken Martin to resign

I am writing to urge you to call for the resignation of Ken Martin as chair of the Democratic National Committee. He outright lied about the 2024 election autopsy.

Stop DHS Targeting of Green Card Holders and Legal Immigrants
