From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYAge verification laws create serious privacy risks
I am a constituent writing to express my strong opposition to online age verification legislation. These laws require people to hand sensitive personal data to third party verification companies they have never heard of and cannot hold accountable. This includes government IDs, facial scans, and bi
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYOppose the GUARD Act (S. 3062) — A Surveillance Mandate, Not Child Safety
Vote no on the GUARD Act (S. 3062). This bill doesn't protect children — it builds a national identity verification system for the internet, using child safety as cover. Requiring every American to submit a government ID, biometric scan, or bank account just to use a chatbot is a surveillance mandat
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYDo Not Pass the CLARITY Act Without Critical Safeguards
Block the CLARITY Act from moving forward until meaningful safeguards are added. As currently written, this bill creates serious risks that outweigh any stated benefits, and passing it without amendments would be a mistake my community will feel directly. Legislation that lacks clear accountability
From a verified voter in Fayetteville, NYSave Section 230! Save the Open Internet!
The internet as we know it is under immediate threat. Congress has introduced multiple bills—including the PROTECT Act (H.R. 7045), the Sunset Section 230 Act (H.R. 6746 / S. 3546), and the Stop the Censorship Act (H.R. 908)—that would repeal or radically rewrite Section 230 of the Communications De
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYPlease oppose online age verification mandates
I am writing to urge you to oppose any legislation that requires online age verification. These laws force citizens to submit government identification or biometric data simply to access lawful speech online. Tying real world identity to internet activity undermines the long standing principle of a
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYDenounce the Treasury Department's Ridiculous Investigation Into Hasan Piker and CodePink
The Treasury Department's OFAC investigation into Hasan Piker and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin needs to stop. These two delivered medical supplies to pediatric hospitals in Cuba as part of a humanitarian convoy. Treating that as a potential sanctions violation is a grotesque misuse of federal
From a constituent in Elbridge, NYJ6ers are dog shit on the boot heels of Uncle Sam. Any sham Trump DOJ+IRS 'settlement' that pays J6ers one penny is an insult to everything America ever thought it stood for! Make sure it doesn't happen.
From a constituent in Elbridge, NYRoku is currently flooded with fruit flavored vape commercials thinly disguised as a thank you to Donald Trump for pressuring the FDA to allow them. These commercials claim vapes are much safer than smoking, and lack any nicotine or health warnings that are required for a specific spacebrand to adve
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYVote Yes on the Government Surveillance Reform Act
Vote yes on the Government Surveillance Reform Act, introduced by Senators Wyden and Lee. The FBI currently conducts roughly 200,000 warrantless searches of Americans' communications every year under Section 702. That is not a foreign surveillance program — that is a domestic one, operating without
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYAmend the TAKE IT DOWN Act to Add Basic Safeguards Against Abuse
Congress needs to fix the TAKE IT DOWN Act before the FTC starts handing out $53,088-per-violation fines. Protecting victims of non-consensual intimate imagery is a legitimate goal, but TIDA as written is a censorship machine with no brakes. Unlike the DMCA, it requires no statement under penalty of
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYPrevent Britain and Ofcom's Attempts to Regulate Americans' Speech
Congress needs to act now to block Ofcom's attempt to impose British speech law on American websites. The UK's communications regulator has fined SaSu, an American mental health forum, £950,000 under its Online Safety Act — for hosting legal speech on American servers. SaSu even voluntarily geoblock
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYOppose KOSA — It Endangers the Kids It Claims to Protect
Vote no on the Kids Online Safety Act. Despite its name, KOSA would make life more dangerous for the most vulnerable young people — particularly LGBTQ+ and trans youth who rely on online communities as lifelines. The bill's "duty of care" provision is not content neutral, which means the FTC could p
From a verified voter in Erieville, NYIt is my understanding that Senate Bill 121 advanced earlier today redraws Louisiana’s 6th congressional district to become an all white district calling into question fair representation of black voters who previously voted from that district some of whom have already cast votes in a current electi
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYProtect Section 230 — Don't Hand Trump a Censorship Tool
Oppose any legislation that weakens or repeals Section 230. This law is the reason ordinary people can post, comment, review, and organize online. Without it, platforms face unlimited liability for user content and will simply stop hosting it. The internet becomes cable TV — polished, corporate, and
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYVote Yes on the Government Surveillance Reform Act
Vote yes on the Government Surveillance Reform Act and push for its inclusion in the FISA Section 702 reauthorization. This bill — sponsored by Sens. Mike Lee and Ron Wyden and Reps. Warren Davidson and Zoe Lofgren — is the most balanced and comprehensive surveillance reform bill in almost half a ce
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYOppose S. 3062, the Revised GUARD Act
Please vote against S. 3062, the GUARD Act. Narrowing the bill's scope to "AI companions" is a step forward, but the core problems remain — and the revised version actually makes some of them worse. The mandatory age verification requirement forces companies to collect sensitive financial records o
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYVote Against the SECURE Data Act
I urge you to vote against the SECURE Data Act. While we desperately need comprehensive federal privacy legislation, this bill would actually harm consumers by rolling back existing protections rather than strengthening them. The SECURE Data Act is weaker than most of the 21 state privacy laws alre
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYOppose FCC's Mandatory Identity Verification for Phone Service
I need you to publicly oppose the FCC's April 30th proposal requiring identity verification before phone service activation. This policy would eliminate anonymous prepaid phones and create a comprehensive surveillance system that tracks every American's communications. The FCC claims this targets r
