Rep. Gregorio Casar

I’m writing to urge you to reconsider the United States’ current approach to military support and foreign policy in the Middle East, particularly regarding Israel and the broader regional conflict. Continued unconditional arms support risks further escalation and draws the U.S. deeper into conflicts

From a constituent in Austin, TX

I am writing to express concern about the reported decision to make flu vaccination optional for military service members and the potential readiness and public health implications that may follow. Recent reporting has suggested that following this policy change, military training environments may a

Police reform now!! A baby has been killed in Mississippi due to police action. Reform our police!! They are supposed to be keeping communities safe not terrorizing them!

Demand Action on Police Violence Against Black Americans

A Mississippi police officer shot and killed one-year-old Kohen Wiley in a Walmart parking lot — over diapers. His mother was holding him when the cop opened fire at their car. This is not an isolated tragedy. From Karmelo Anthony to Samuel Brown, Black people are being killed by police at a rate th

Oppose DOJ's Antifa Conspiracy Charges — A Dangerous Precedent for Dissent

Oppose the DOJ's June 16 conspiracy charges against 15 Minneapolis residents. These prosecutions are built on a dangerously vague framework that uses the "Antifa" label — a designation with no clear legal definition — as a net to sweep up anyone who organized opposition to federal immigration operat

Trump’s 250-foot DC arch violates three federal laws — Congress must act

I am writing about the proposed 250-foot triumphal arch near the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. Three federal laws prohibit this project without congressional authorization, and not one member of Congress has voted to approve it. The Commemorative Works Act of 1986 bars new monum

Defund ICE and Build a Safe, Effective Immigration System

Defund ICE. Not reform it, not review it — defund it. Daphy Michel, a Haitian asylum-seeker, was found unresponsive at a Pittsburgh bus stop days after being released from ICE custody. The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide. The cause was hypothermia. ICE released a human being into the col

Our 401(k) is being forced to buy Musk's losing stock

SpaceX went public today in the largest IPO in history, raising about $75 billion at a valuation of $1.75 trillion. The company holds roughly $22 billion in federal contracts with NASA, the Space Force, and the National Reconnaissance Office. Its owner, Elon Musk, is the third-largest political dono

I am concerned about the EPA's recent decision to delay the phaseout of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants and weaken leak-prevention requirements for certain refrigerated trucks. While the EPA claims these changes will lower grocery prices, many experts question whether consumers will see any mea

Block the USPS Mail Ballot Rule That Threatens Voting Access

Block the Trump administration's proposed USPS rule that would turn the postal service into a gatekeeper for mail-in ballots. This rule would require states to submit voter names, addresses, and ballot-specific barcodes to USPS before any ballot can be delivered — giving a federal agency unprecedent

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

Elected officials at every level of government should be prohibited from trading individual stocks while in office. Public service should be about serving the public interest, not personal financial gain. Members of Congress, governors, state legislators, regulators, and senior executive officials o

Extreme heat is becoming one of the deadliest weather threats facing workers, families, and communities across the world, including here in Texas. 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
