From a verified voter in Cedar Rapids, IADEI INFORMATION PURGE
The DEI purge going on in the Defense Department is unconscionable. Why aren’t you speaking up for us all? Why?
From a verified voter in Ames, IAAre you doing anything about illegal firings? Any follow up?
Chuck Grassley raised the alarm two months ago about the illegal firings of Inspectors General, yet we’ve seen no follow-up, no action, and no consequences. What’s the point of the laws protecting IGs from being fired without cause if Congress refuses to enforce them? These laws were designed to pre
From a constituent in Johnston, IASupport for IMLS

From a constituent in Des Moines, IAPresident Trump is a Clear And Present Danger Take Action Now!
Unchecked executive power is one of the greatest threats to American democracy. President Trump’s recent actions demonstrate a dangerous disregard for constitutional limits. I urge immediate congressional action before these abuses set a precedent for future presidents—of either party. Since return
From a verified voter in Mount Vernon, IAPlease stand up for our constitution, our rule of law, and decency!
Does anyone else feel like we're living in two completely different worlds? One world has a government equivalent of a take over, with corruption, illegal activities, blatant disregard for human rights, no respect for federal workers, reckless abandonment of science, fascism, treason, bigotry, ch
From a verified voter in Tripoli, IAHave you called in to Social Security today? It is a 200-230 day wait for processing certain medical records. The estimated hold time is 110 minutes right now (6:11pmTues.eve.) The E in DOGE is efficiency, right? All compliments of Trump and his boss, Musk. Do your damn job. Impeach this S.O.B

From a verified voter in Fort Dodge, IATrump Defies Court Order
I’m writing because we have entered a constitutional crisis. On Saturday evening, federal judge James Boasberg unambiguously ordered the Trump administration not to deport any Venezuelans using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. The administration ignored him. This is terrifying. No American and especia
From a verified voter in Ames, IAAttacks on the press are escalating. Stop ignoring it.
Your silence on blatant attacks on the First Amendment is unacceptable. Either you don’t care about press freedom, or you’re completely oblivious to what’s happening. Let me remind you. Here are just a few examples of this administration’s escalating war on the press: Lawsuit Against Des Moines Re
From a constituent in Des Moines, IAYou Must Protect A Free Press and Free Speech!

From a constituent in Des Moines, IAStand for American Values—Condemn and Repeal Executive Order 14173
I am deeply concerned about President [Last Name]’s Executive Order 14173, titled "Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity."

From a verified voter in Donahue, IAThe end of Democracy
Yesterday, our democracy crumbled into pieces. Kash Patel went after Habitat for Humanity ... an organization that builds home for those that struggle for shelter and community. Tom Holman deported mothers and fathers, doctors and teachers without due process. He tortured a German green card hol
From a constituent in Fairfield, IAIn just a few days we have become a nation that has political prisoners AND a government that blatantly ignores judicial decisions. Abandonment of the 3 separate but equal branches of government. Abandonment of the rule of law. Shame on you.
From a verified voter in Ames, IAFree Press is under attack. Protect the 1st Amendment.
I am very upset about what the White House is doing to reporters. First, they stopped an Associated Press (AP) reporter from going to an event just because AP wouldn’t call the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.” Now, they are deciding which reporters can even be in the room at all. This is not fa
From a constituent in Cedar Falls, IA“Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the Earth.” Remember the oath you swore and think of all the voices crying out for mercy.

From a verified voter in Ames, IADOGE costs more than it's saving. Explain to me like I'm an idiot why it's good.
I’ve heard that the court fees from all the chaotic firings, erratic contract cancellations, and pausing of payments on already allocated funds may have completely wiped out any supposed "savings" DOGE claims to have achieved. I need you to explain to me, like I’m an absolute idiot, how this is “eff

From a verified voter in Ames, IAOver 50% of the country is worried about Project 2025. Where do you stand?
I’m writing because Project 2025 is a blatant attack on American democracy, and I want to know exactly where you stand. This plan consolidates executive power, reshapes the judiciary, and hands Trump’s administration control over the economy and military. If you truly don’t support it, how do you
From a verified voter in Bettendorf, IAOpen impeachment inquiry into President's unconstitutional conduct
