Prioritize scientific truth, reject medical misinformation endangering public health

RFK Jr.'s alarming claims that various medical conditions did not exist during his childhood reflect a dangerously flawed understanding. Conditions like ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and juvenile diabetes were indeed present, just not widely discussed or understood at the time. Scientific knowled

Protect Freedom of Religion

The formation of a federal task force to combat "anti-Christian bias" is concerning from the perspective of protecting religious freedom for all. While the initiative purports to safeguard the rights of Christians, it risks infringing upon the liberties of other faiths and non-religious individuals.

Take Back Congressional Control of Taxation

The Constitution grants Congress the sole authority to levy taxes and tariffs, not the president. President Trump's unilateral imposition of tariffs on imports from numerous countries, including 145% on China and 25% on Mexico and Canada, is a flagrant violation of this founding principle of separat

Respect privacy, end autism stigma - ethical NIH study approach

The National Institutes of Health's plan to amass comprehensive private medical data from various federal and commercial sources for Secretary Kennedy's autism study raises significant privacy concerns. Gathering sensitive health information on a vast scale without explicit consent from individuals

Uphold Rule of Law, Facilitate Abrego Garcia's Return

The judiciary has clearly reaffirmed the rule of law and condemned the executive branch's refusal to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador. The court's scathing order denounces the administration's claims of being unable to bring him back, calling it a violation of due proce

Raise federal minimum wage to livable $15 by 2025

The federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour has remained stagnant for over a decade, failing to keep up with rises in productivity and inflation. As productivity has increased substantially since the late 1960s, the minimum wage today would be around $21.45 if it had grown at the same rate. Similarly

Investigate Mishandling of Classified Military Communications by Officials

I strongly urge a thorough investigation into the apparent mishandling of sensitive military communications via the Signal app. Based on the reporting, it appears that officials openly discussed classified operational details regarding a mission against Houthi rebels in Yemen within an insecure grou

Impeach Trump for Defying the Supreme Court

I am reaching out to urge you to call for the impeachment of President Trump due to his refusal to comply with the Supreme Court’s April 10th decision regarding Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who was unlawfully deported and has been charged with no crime. As Justice Sotomayor stated, this inaction implies th

Ensure No Child in America Goes Hungry

The statistics on child hunger in America are deeply concerning. With nearly 14 million children facing food insecurity, and children of color and those from single-parent households disproportionately affected, it is clear that urgent action is needed to address this crisis. The effects of hunger,

Condemn political violence, uphold democracy and nonviolence

Political violence of any kind is completely unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest terms. The arson attack on the Pennsylvania Governor's residence is a reprehensible act that endangered lives and caused significant damage. This incident highlights the disturbing rise of politically mo

Support Independent Review of Potential Insider Trading

I firmly believe there needs to be an independent, non-partisan investigation into the possibility of insider trading related to President Trump's recent tariff announcements. The timing and messaging around the tariff decisions and the significant market movements raise legitimate questions about w

Reject voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act

If congress is going to require proof of citizenship to vote, it should first make getting the documentation easy and free for all citizens. Exercising a right should not cost anyone money. The proposed SAVE Act would require documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, disenfranch

Reject discriminatory Save Voters Act, protect voting rights.

The Save Voters Act is an alarming piece of legislation that seeks to strip millions of American women of their fundamental right to vote by imposing unnecessary barriers and restrictions. It effectively disenfranchises a large portion of the electorate solely on the basis of gender, which goes agai

To cut waste, fraud, and abuse―look at Pentagon contractors and private prisons.

As your constituent, I am urging you to reject cuts to health care and food assistance that pay for increased funding for wasteful contractors at ICE and the Pentagon. Pentagon contracts alone total more than the salaries of every single federal worker combined. ICE funding goes towards private pris

Habeas corpus applies to citizens, non-citizens, innocent people and criminals.

The First Amendment applies to everyone in the USA: citizens and non-citizens alike. It is beyond horrifying to see that graduate students and professors can be abducted, detained, removed by extra procedural rendition for their political opinions. Once 1A rights are ignored and due process is disca

Restore integrity of elections through campaign finance reform.

The unchecked influence of money in politics poses a grave threat to our democratic system. The lack of transparency surrounding Elon Musk's $290 million in campaign spending, coupled with the reported coordination between his super PAC and the Trump campaign, undermines the principles of fair elect

Probe Defense Secretary's Signal use for military strikes

I strongly support the Pentagon watchdog's decision to probe the Defense Secretary's use of Signal for communicating military strike plans against Houthi militants in Yemen. Utilizing a publicly available encrypted messaging app like Signal to discuss sensitive operational details raises significant
