Reinstate Protections for Coal Miners

Why are you canceling the protections for coal miners at the same time coal mining is being encouraged? Silica cuts the lungs of those exposed and leaves them disabled at a very young age. This needs to be reversed! “The very same day as Trump’s big coal announcement, the Mine Safety and Health Adm

Demand that Kilmar Abrego Garcia be returned to his family!

President Trump just crossed the RED line! He is ignoring the Supreme Court’s order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia! What are you going to do? I heard that many lawmakers thought breaking the law was a step too far. Is it? We all know President Trump can get Mr. Garcia returned. He

Why are we not supporting the Democracy over Communism? We should be standing up for Ukraine over an authoritarian government like Russia. The bombing this weekend is just another show of force for Putin. He knows we will not stop him after the positions being broadcast from the White House. Puti

Oppose the SAVE Act – Protect Voting Rights and Prevent Unnecessary Barriers

I am writing to urge you to oppose the SAVE Act, which proposes additional federal requirements for voter eligibility verification.

Restore Congressional Authority Over Tariff Decisions

I am writing as a concerned constituent to urge you to take action to reassert Congress’s constitutional authority over trade and tariff decisions. Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution clearly assigns the power to regulate commerce—including the imposition of tariffs—to Congress. However,

Stop Putin! Help Ukraine!

Apparently Putin is not negotiating in good faith. Putin has called up 160,000 Russian men aged between 18 and 30 on March 31 as part of the Kremlin’s annual spring conscription cycle. I want our country to punish Putin with the harshest penalties that we can leverage. I also hope that we continue

Tariffs Tax Americans! I didn’t fail economics like so many others.

The president’s severe tariffs are not a tax on foreign companies—they are a tax on the American people. Consumers, workers, small businesses, and farmers are shouldering the cost, and the ripple effect is already triggering a dangerous global economic downturn. These actions threaten to plunge us i

Forget the 2017 tax cut

I never saved on taxes with the 2017 Trump tax cuts. So I don’t care if they stay. My tax situation was the same before it was implemented as after.

The U.S. government's actions in this case are deeply concerning.
