I want the Senator to cosponsor S. RES 852 the resolution requesting information on Israel’s human rights practices in the West Bank pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. I want my lawmakers to support all human rights, not just some of them. Also, I understand that the

Ban Lead Ammunition on Federal Lands

Ban lead ammunition on federal lands. The science on this is settled: spent lead fragments contaminate the food chain, poisoning scavengers like bald eagles and California condors, and exposing hunters and their families to toxic residue in the meat they eat.

The White House is the People’s House. No president should be able to bar media organizations from this building or any other building in which media is allowed. If the media organization is not officially a foreign agent, part of a sanctioned regime or part of a corrupt enterprise then the Execit

Health Insurance and Job Loss

I’m writing to urge Congress to take meaningful action to separate access to health insurance from employment, whether through a single-payer system, a strong public option, or another form of guaranteed public coverage.

Stop Mass Surveillance: Federal Legislation Needed to Ban ALPR Abuse

I'm writing as your constituent to urge you to support federal legislation banning automated license plate reader (ALPR) mass surveillance. What began as a tool for finding stolen cars has become a dragnet tracking every driver regardless of suspicion—and it fundamentally contradicts the freedoms Am

Reverse the Fish and Wildlife Directive That Guts Endangered Species Protections

Reverse the Fish and Wildlife Service's September 14 directive from Director Brian Nesvik — the one that lets timber companies log forests knowing they'll kill endangered birds, or lets developers build dams knowing they'll wipe out salmon, as long as those animals weren't the "target." This isn't a

Protect Athlete Rights: Vote No on the Protect College Sports Act

I'm writing to urge you to vote NO on the Protect College Sports Act. As a concerned constituent, I believe this legislation prioritizes the financial interests of colleges and the NCAA over the student athletes themselves. The bill would grant the NCAA a federal antitrust exemption, effectively sh

Arms sales to Israel

The administration’s $2.8 billion dollar arms sale to the genocidal, racist and colonial state of Israel must be stopped by Congress. Netanyahu and his cabinet of murders must not be allowed to continue to kill Palestinians with impunity with the help and complicity of American taxpayers. I’ve been

Oppose the 16 & Up Social Media Act

Vote no on the 16 & Up Social Media Act. Introduced on September 11, 2026, by Reps. Houchin and Auchincloss, this bill doesn't just restrict teenagers — it builds an age-verification infrastructure that puts every adult's privacy at risk. The bill's language is the problem. It requires companies to

Vote NO to US and Israeli military intergration

Please vote against the Deadly Merger provision (House Section 219/Senate Section 1217) of the NDAA.

From a constituent in Hemlock, NY

First, I urge the Senator to filibuster and stop the CLARITY Act when it comes up for a vote in the Senate this week. This bill is written by industry executives and would open the door to more scams that rip off investors and everyday people. Also, it does nothing to rein in Trump’s crypto corrupti

I’m enraged that Donald Trump is offering $5,000 to voters to get them to support Republicans in the midterms. It’s a felony under U.S. Code 52 section 10307 to offer voters anything in exchange for their vote. Federal law says “Whoever . . . pays or offers to pay . . . for voting shall be fined not
