You are failing me. I am a voter who is being cast aside by your policies and inaction. It's despicable. My family fought and died for this country and to keep you all safe. Now your inaction is leading to chaos and the strong possibility of millions of Americans losing resources and help. Ripping a

Release Mahmoud Kahlil

Push for the release of Mahmoud Kahlil. There is no evidence of law breaking. He must be released and not federally kidnapped for exercising his constitutional rights to free speech. This is scary!

Safeguard free speech, stop Khalil's unjust deportation

The arrest and potential deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist and former Columbia University student, raises significant concerns about protecting free speech and preventing the targeting of individuals based on their political views. While the government claims Khalil made stat

Halt destruction of USAID records, ensure due process

In light of ongoing litigation regarding the termination of USAID employees and the cessation of USAID grants, the destruction of personnel records and classified documents must cease immediately.

The White House Is Not a Home Shopping Channel

I am writing to express my outrage regarding President Donald Trump's recent endorsement and advertisement of Tesla on the White House lawn. This event, which took place on March 11, 2025, is a blatant misuse of the presidential office and a violation of ethical standards. The White House should ne

I am writing to urge congress to reject the “save” act which would prevent over 69m million women from voting due to changing their name for marriage. This is a clear scheme targeting women voters and anyone else who has legally changed their names. It’s long been a republican agenda to limit who v

Protect NC schools, don't eliminate U.S. Education Department

Eliminating the U.S. Department of Education would severely undermine educational funding and services for North Carolina. The department provides $1.5 billion in federal aid to the state annually, including critical Title I funding for disadvantaged students and IDEA funding for students with disab

Every day that unelected government official Musk & his DOGE close organizations, cut funding, and lie about government spending is another day eroding your Congressional authority. Congress must act swiftly to restrict DOGE's unconstitutional behavior. If not, Representatives and Senators are open

I’m writing to advocate for all Americans and American green card holders who have not only earned citizenship but also who dare to speak out about our fascist president and his cronies. America was built on the backs immigrants by immigrants. It’s unfair and frankly ridiculous to allow anyone to

Thank you for your service to our district! It is a relief to know my family’s voice in Congress represents our and our diverse array of neighbors’ best interests and not merely those of the oligarchs!

Release Mahmoud Khalil

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil is despicable. He has exercised his right to free speech and is being targeted because he is Palestinian. I expect you to speak out against this overreach by ICE.

25% Tariffs from Canada

I have just heard one of the Canadian leaders impose, a 25% tariff on electricity. They supply to Minnesota, Michigan, and New York. It is not legal for the president to put on tariffs unless there is a security risk. As in the possibility of war time. When is Congress i.e. when are the senators, a

I woke up this morning with the same ongoing dread and dampening of spirit that I have had every day since Donald Trump and Elon Musk began their purge of government with consideration only to the fear they are instilling in Americans and the destabilization of our country and the world. This is not

Preserve NIH funding for university research

The proposed cuts to National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding for research universities would be devastating for Duke University and the broader scientific community.

Protect our national forests from unregulated logging!

I’m writing to urge you to push back on the Trump administration’s executive order to increase timber production on our public lands and national forests.

Prioritize public health: Fund vaccine promotion, not misinformation studies.

Vaccines have been thoroughly studied and proven safe and effective, with no link to autism. Funding a new study on a debunked claim is an unwise use of limited public health resources and a waste of taxpayer money. If policymakers are looking to cut government spending, this study would be an absol

Standing up for democracy

I'm writing to thank Congresswoman Foushee for boycotting the Sate of the Union speech. These are extraordinary times, so they call for extraordinary actions. Standard opposition and following decorum are no longer sufficient when we are facing a democracy destroying Executive branch. So I wanted to

The Tuesday night “talk” and threats to Social Security

On Tuesday night, the president spoke. I avoided listening to the speech because I can’t stand the sound of his voice. But I did listen to several commentators and analyses the next day. I was horrified a couple of the clips I saw where his lying, he endlessly lies, but the stories he was telling ab

NIH funding, collapsing universities and dismantling the VA

The news and observer, from Raleigh, North Carolina, has just posted an article on NIH funding, and the phenomenal damage that is resulting to Duke and UNC Chapel Hill.

Extend protections for Ukrainian refugees, uphold humanitarian values

I strongly oppose the revocation of temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the Russian invasion. These migrants have already endured immense hardship and trauma due to the brutal war, and stripping away their legal protections would be an inhumane and callous act. The United States h

Investigate Trump's secret talks with the Ukraine opposition!

It is deeply concerning that members of the Trump team reportedly held secret talks with the opposition in Ukraine, undermining the democratically elected government of President Zelensky.

Hello, Rep. Foushee. I am a US citizen concerned about HB 3399. If this bill makes it to the federal level, please vote against it. This bill would put the entire country in danger, and I do not know anyone who wants to see it passed. Thank you and your staff for considering this request.

We must protect our constitutional right to protest

The right to protest is a fundamental freedom enshrined in the First Amendment of the US Constitution. Peaceful assembly and the ability to voice dissent are cornerstones of a healthy democracy.
