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

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.

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

From a verified voter in Mount Vernon, IAElon must go. Stand up for us, stand up for our constitution!
