From a verified voter in Roseburg, ORNo MEGA Act.
I was horrified to read about Rep. Steil's proposed Make Elections Great Again (MEGA ho ho) bill. This bill is a ghastly escalation of the SAVE Act, and would go far to allow the Republicans to pick their voters. The MEGA Act is another attack on the rights of all Americans, and on the rights of the

Impeach Trump now! How many federal laws does one man get to break before he is removed from office? It is clear that Mr. Trump is setting up the system so that there will not be an election later this year. We cannot wait until November with the speed that this administration is taking to destroy o
From a constituent in Seaside, ORNoem MUST GO!
Noem MUST GO! Her sins are many, and needn’t be recounted here. She is clearly unfit and unaccountable, and responsible for the deaths of American citizens. Force her out! Resign, be fired or be impeached, but get her out of the federal government. After that, go after Stephen Goebbels Miller
From a verified voter in Wilsonville, ORICE must be de-funded
De-fund and then abolish ICE The entire ICE institution as an institution has demonstrated itself to be lawless, racist, inhumane and violence-seeking. It cannot be reformed or trained from what has become its core function. It must be disbanded and replaced As a starting point, any attempts to add
From a constituent in Seaside, ORNO to DHS and ICE Funding
Below I am quoting Josh Marshall from Talking Points Memo. Regarding the funding of DHS and ICE, just say NO! These are his words to the Senate, with which I fully agree. “We won’t stand for any of this. We don’t want masked secret police preying on American communities.” “You want our votes?
From a verified voter in Lorane, ORDefund Ice 🧊
Defund ICE by opposing any DHS appropriations, Bill that maintains Ice funding, and support legislation that claws back the $75 billion ICE slush fund created by H.R. 1 last year. Thank you for fighting for not only Oregon but America.
From a verified voter in Eugene, ORProhibit the use of ICE for voter suppression
Prohibit the use of ICE as a voter suppression tool. You must insert into the apropos bill a prohibition of ICE agents being near polling places. This is an essential step to protect free and fair elections. Save our democracy!
From a verified voter in Beaverton, ORICE recently received billions in additional funding through the so-called “One Big Beautiful” bill, with no meaningful guardrails or oversight. Congress effectively handed ICE a massive slush fund while expanding its operational reach and shielding it from consequences. Senators must not allow thi

From a constituent in Portland, ORVote No on funding govt until ICE is disbanded.
I'm writing today because I feel strongly about defunding/abolishing ICE. Please continue to vote no on any funding that does not actively defund ICE. Any sort of "reform" is just adding a distraction, they need to be out of our streets. It is very clear that this organization is being weaponized ag
From a verified voter in Roseburg, ORNo funding for ICE.
I have seen Senator Schumer's demands of actions that need to be taken by or with respect to ICE. The problem is that a lot of those things are standards of procedure already, and that ICE isn't following them. Accordingly, I ask that your focus continues to be: defund, abolish, impeach, prosecute.

From a constituent in Beaverton, ORDo not fund ICE. Repeal the 75 billion multi-year funding.
