Oppose H.Res.7 to Protect Women's Healthcare Autonomy

Save Section 504!
Dear Governor Pritzker, I am emailing you to urge you to do all that you can to communicate to local officials in the 17 states trying to get rid of section 504 to stop this life altering decision. This country might be about profits first and people last, yet it doesn’t have to continue that way.
Preserve voting rights equitably, oppose restrictive SAVE Act

Please act to save democracy
I urge you to lead a coalition of Democratic Governors to counter the growing threat of federal overreach and deliberate government sabotage.

Trump and Musk are taking over
DO SOMETHING. Why on earth are you just letting this happen? Our government is being systemically dismantled by wannabe dictators who want to destroy anything that they can't directly profit from. The most vulnerable are the ones who will suffer most! I'm a 100% disabled veteran. I'm supposed t
Federal payment systems illegally breached by Elon Musk

Safeguard government data systems from DOGE commission overreach

I would like to thank you for your actions and words this past week. We are living in fear and chaos not knowing which way to turn. We need strong voices and leadership if we don’t want to lose our democracy. I am not sure how Elon Musk has gotten into private data since he has not been voted int

Pursue criminal charges against Musk
