From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYStop Harmful Surveillance: Support Facial Recognition Ban
I am writing to urge you to support federal legislation banning facial recognition technology nationwide. The evidence shows urgent reasons for federal action: Accuracy Problems: Research indicates facial recognition identifies the wrong person up to 98% of the time, causing real-world harms inclu
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYReject KOSA and Age Verification: Surveillance Is Not Safety
I urge you to oppose age verification legislation like KOSA. While protecting children online is important, these laws fundamentally undermine civil liberties and fail to deliver on their promises. Proponents claim this is simply about protecting children from pornography, but the reality is far mo
From a verified voter in Fayetteville, NYProtect Agricultural Workers from Wildfire Smoke
We demand immediate federal protections for agricultural workers against hazardous air quality from wildfire smoke. The crisis is here. This week, thick smoke from British Columbia wildfires plunged air quality across the Northeast to hazardous levels. In Wayne County, NY, apple workers labored out
From a verified voter in Fayetteville, NYNo Neo-Colonial Resource Grabs in the Sahel!
We oppose the proposed “minerals-for-security” deal with the Alliance of Sahel States (AES)—Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. Washington is offering counterterrorism assistance and military support in exchange for access to gold, lithium, and uranium. This is not partnership—it is extortion. The U.S.

I am writing as your constituent to urge support for meaningful reform of Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which currently prevents consumers from lawfully using their digital purchases. Recent developments in the video game industry illustrate this problem. As physical
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYOppose Social Media Bans and Mandatory Age Verification Legislation
I urge you to oppose all legislation that would ban young people from social media or mandate mandatory age verification systems. These policies are fundamentally flawed for several critical reasons: Privacy and Security Risks: Forced age verification requires collecting government IDs, face scans
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYOppose the KIDS Act: Government Overreach That Won't Protect Kids
Vote against the KIDS Act. This omnibus bill bundles together provisions from KOSA, COPPA 2.0, the SCREEN Act, the SAFE BOTS Act, and others into a sweeping mandate that will degrade the internet for everyone while doing almost nothing to actually protect children. The core problem is compliance ma
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYReject Project 2029's "Kids Over Clicks" Digital ID Scheme
Reject Project 2029's "Kids Over Clicks" proposal. It is being sold as child protection, but enforcing an under-16 social media ban requires age verification for every user — meaning government ID checks, face scans, or digital credentials for anyone who wants to go online. That is not a child safet
From a constituent in New Hartford, NYFunding for Israel.
Don’t approve or support any funding at all for Israel’s military. Instead you should be pushing for holding Israel accountable for their war crimes.
From a verified voter in Fayetteville, NYStand Up for Sudan!
We demand immediate passage of the Stand Up for Sudan Act, which would prohibit U.S. arms sales to the United Arab Emirates until it ceases arming the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. The crisis is urgent. The RSF is massing forces around El Obeid, a city of 500,000, preparing a ground assault
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYOppose the KIDS Act—Protect Privacy and Civil Rights Online
I urge you to oppose the KIDS Act, which Congress is voting on this week. While supporters claim the bill doesn't require age verification, the legislation actually pressures platforms to check everyone's age—creating serious privacy and civil rights risks. The bill imposes obligations whenever a p
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYVote No on the KIDS Act
Vote no on the KIDS Act. This package — combining KOSA, the SAFE BOTS Act, the SCREEN Act, and more — is being rushed through Congress without debate on individual merits, and it will do serious damage to privacy and free speech online for everyone, not just kids. The bill's "knows or should have k
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYOppose the KIDS Act: A Surveillance Bill Disguised as Child Safety
I urge you to oppose the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act (KIDS Act), recently advanced by House leadership. While child safety online is important, this legislation threatens privacy and creates a surveillance framework that undermines fundamental freedoms. The KIDS Act's core problem is struc
From a verified voter in Syracuse, NYReject Online Age Verification — It's Mass Surveillance in Disguise
Vote against any online age verification mandate. These laws don't protect children — they surveil everyone. To verify that one person is 18, you have to track and record the online activity of every single user. That's not child safety. That's a surveillance infrastructure the advertising industry
