Protect a public USPS

I am writing because I believe in a public Postal Service committed to providing quality service to everyone – individuals and business mailers alike - no matter who they are or where they live, at reasonable and uniform rates. Our United States Postal Service is an essential part of the fabric of t

Leaders Schumer and Jeffries are wrong. We don't need *leverage* when we have truth. There is no reason that people weren't shouting down the lies spewed by the gaslighter-in-chief during the overly-long ramble last night. Silent disappointment and small signs are not effective when among personal a

Trump’s address to Congress

Please walk out of Trump’s address tonight. He doesn’t deserve your respect.

From a constituent in Florence, MA

No alliance with Putin! Stand with Ukraine! Impeach Trump and Vance !

There are so many crimes being committed by the president right now that it would take many pages to list them. President Trump and Vice President Vance have now indicated that they are abandoning our ally, Ukraine. What's worse is that they are signaling that they perhaps want to end the NATO t

Healthcare issue

The House budget resolution would gut essential healthcare programs like Medicaid to finance tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations. This resolution values profits over people's lives and wellbeing. We must reject this draconian budget that sacrifices the ability of millions to access affordabl

Urkaine support needed

I would like to continue fighting for support for Urkaine's war against Russia. I want you to stand up and condemn that what President Trump and Vice President Vance did yesterday with their meeting. I want to pass congressional support to fund or do whatever it takes to help Urkaine to either win t

Condemn Trump's unconstitutional overreach, uphold rule of law

I am deeply troubled by the Trump administration's blatant disregard for the Constitution and separation of powers. Their attempt to unilaterally block congressionally appropriated funds and dismantle segments of the federal government without legal authority is a gross overreach of executive power.

A complete and utter disgrace

The way our president and vice president chose to portray our country to the world today is completely and utterly shameful. They bullied the leader of another country-a country that has been facing ceaseless war for years, who we have called an ally-on camera, for no reason. The entire situation wa

Pass the Dream and Promise Act

I am writing the Representative because I understand that a bipartisan group of lawmakers has just reintroduced the Dream and Promise Act — a bill that could provide more than two million Dreamers, DACA recipients, and TPS holders with a pathway to citizenship. This bill would be a huge step forward

Stand together to resist Republican budget

I’m a constituent writing from 01373 to ask Democrats to hold together and not give Republicans an inch of help with funding the government by March 14. The only way Democrats should yield is if they first extract major concessions from Republicans, including requiring Trump to comply with all court

From a constituent in Westborough, MA

Thank you for voting against the budget

I’m writing to thank the Congressmember for voting against Republicans’ awful budget resolution last night. I am deeply upset that it passed. Members of our community, including my own family members, rely on programs cut within this budget, which will most severely harm the most vulnerable members

No cutting Medicaid and no tax cuts for the rich. Why is non-elected Elon Musk controlling everything?

Resist MAGA Budget Cuts

I’m a constituent writing from 01373 to ask that you work in unison with Democratic representatives to shut the government down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill. Republicans need Democratic votes to pass anything, but instead of negotiating in good faith, they’re pushing a MAGA

Modern day brown shirts

It has just been brought to our attention that the "inspectors" of the DOGE team have been deputies by the US Marshall service and are now allowed to carry firearms into federal buildings. If true, this is nothing less than a fascist coup. Our elected representatives need to protect the people they

We are teetering on the brink

The chaos and systematic destruction of all that we hold dear in this country continues. The president has referred to himself as a king... a KING! He has called the lawfully elected president of Ukraine a tyrant and colludes with Putin to give away the land of sovereign nation to an aggressor who i

Cuts to the Veterans Administration are unacceptable

I am deeply concerned about the cuts to the veterans administration. My dad and uncle have received great care from the VA, including vital hearing aids which decrease the risk of dementia as my dad ages. Recent improvements for veterans have been great, such as the bipartisan HERO Act. And more sta

Reject Budget Resolution

Hi, I'm a constituent writing from 01373. I understand that House Republicans just introduced a budget resolution with over 4 trillion dollars in tax cuts for rich people and corporations, a 4 trillion dollar debt limit increase, AND at least 2 trillion dollars in spending cuts, most of which will

Oppose the SAVE act

I’m writing to let you know that I oppose the SAVE act. We should be making it easier for people to vote, not harder. From what I understand the SAVE act would make it very hard for millions of Americans to register to vote and to actually cast their ballot as well. Please oppose this bill.

Do Not Cooperate, Form Real Opposition. No Votes!!!

We are currently in truly unprecedented times. But we are not without examples. From the very beginning Donald Trump has made it clear that he idolizes the likes of Andrew Jackson. This is his you and what army moment. Perhaps one of the most disheartening signs this week was from Hakeem Jeffries. W

Oppose the Educational Choice for Children act

I’m a constitute writing from 01373 to strongly urge you to oppose the Educational Choice for Children Act (S. 292/H.R. 817) and its costly voucher-inspired scheme. According to press releases issued by the bill’s lead sponsors in both chambers, the scheme would cost the U.S. Treasury $10 billion a

Resist NIH Cuts

I’m a constituent from 01373 asking you to do everything you can to oppose the recent NIH cuts. The White House claims the funds they’re targeting pay for leftist agendas and DEI, but this is untrue. These fees go towards things like research buildings, equipment, and staff. The NIH has made the Uni

Stand up for USAID

I’m a constituent writing from 01373 to register my disappointment about the gutting of USAID. I appreciate Democrats’ support for it, but the message needs to be stronger, louder and more effective. Congress needs to take its power back—any major reform or closing of an agency established by Congre

Reject and condemn HR 722

I am a constituent writing from 01373 to ask you to forcefully reject and condemn H.R.722. I am a woman residing in the state of Massachusetts; I am also a scholar of health and medicine, and have studied histories of pregnancy, birthing, and reproductive healthcare in the United States and theses h

Stop Musk

I’m a constituent from 01373 writing with a simple ask for Democrats: that they give no help to the Republicans on the budget or the debt ceiling until the lawbreaking stops. Period. What Trump and Musk are doing now is not only brazenly illegal but an overt and undeniable violation of the federal c

Ignore Illegal Barricades, Enter Government Offices Now!

I implore you to ignore barricades and blocks to your attempts to stop the illegal actions of Trump and Musk. Recently members of Congress have been at USAID and the department of education, and stopped from entering. Enter anyways. Walk past the people stopping you. Use the crowd with you to push y

Musk + Treasury

Hi, I'm a constituent writing from 01373. I’m writing to express my extreme concern with Elon Musk’s unsupervised and likely unlawful actions and want Congress to do something about it. Musk is endangering privacy and national security, and is using his position for personal financial gain. He has

Stop return of plastic straws. Enough microplastics!

The return to single-use plastic straws threatens to exacerbate the alarming levels of plastic pollution contaminating our oceans and waterways. Microplastics are pervasive, ingested by marine life and entering the food chain with dire consequences for ecosystems and human health. Paper straws provi

Urgent Action Needed to Reverse Crippling NIH Indirect Cost Cuts

As a biomedical scientist, I am deeply concerned about the NIH’s sudden decision to cap indirect cost reimbursement at 15%, down from rates as high as 50-65% at institutions like Harvard and UMass. This drastic, unilateral cut will cripple U.S. research, forcing labs to shut down, delaying critical

From a constituent in Webster, MA

Uphold separation of church and state, reject anti-religion task force

I urge Congress to prevent the President from establishing a task force aimed at rooting out "anti-Christian bias" within the federal government. This initiative threatens to erode the vital principle of separation of church and state enshrined in the First Amendment. The federal government must rem
