Rep. Chellie Pingree

So what about the Epstein files and no investigation into the many many men accused of horrific sex crimes against children??? Your lack of real action disgusts me. It says you think child sex trafficking and child rape is ok. Where are your morals and ethics?

**Condemn Trump's Treasonous Remarks Suggesting Iran Attack Los Angeles and San Diego** You need to publicly and loudly condemn President Trump's suggestion that Iran should "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego. At a rally in Nebraska, Trump said letting a foreign adversary destroy two of America's

End Third-Country Deportations That Undercut Court-Ordered Protection

As your constituent, I urge you to sponsor legislation to prevent the Federal government from deporting protected migrants to countries other than their homelands. People whom U.S. judges have protected from return to persecution should not be forced into danger elsewhere because of who they are or

Stop Taxpayer Money From Funding Presidential Self-Promotion

As your constituent, I urge you to stop taxpayer money from being used for advertisements that praise President Trump and promote his accomplishments. Federal money should inform and serve the public - not become a personal advertising fund for any President. Congress decides how taxpayer money may

No One in Immigration Detention Should Become Impossible to Find

As your constituent, I urge you to investigate the reported change in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Online Detainee Locator System (ODLS) and support action to reverse it if confirmed. The reported change can make detainees impossible for families, lawyers, and courts to locate. A Sep

America Is Giving Up Diplomatic Tools That Help Keep It Safe

As your constituent, I am concerned that the United States is dismantling diplomatic capabilities that took generations to build. Government can be reformed without destroying national capabilities developed over decades or weakening Congress’s constitutional and statutory authority. AMERICA CANNOT

Stop Funding ICE's Domestic Terror Campaign Against Our Communities

Cut ICE's funding and end the 287(g) program now. What is happening in our communities is not immigration enforcement — it is a domestic terror campaign against civilians, and you have the power to stop it. ICE arrested a man taking out his trash in Miami. A father was grabbed in front of his six-y

Stop the Proposed Ballpark Inside Grand Teton National Park

As your constituent, I urge you to oppose any plan to build a Major League Baseball ballpark inside Grand Teton National Park or any other national park. A professional sports venue would place commercial entertainment ahead of the preservation purpose for which these lands were protected. The Wash

Abolish ICE — The Pattern of Abuse Cannot Be Fixed With Training

Abolish ICE. Amnesty International just released a report documenting unlawful killings, racial profiling, and inhumane detention conditions — and concluded that these aren't policy failures that can be trained away. They are foundational to how the agency operates. This is the first time in its his

Request to Codify Human Oversight of AI-Enabled Weapons I am writing about the U.S. position on the military use of artificial intelligence. On September 26, 2026, the Washington Post reported that during United Nations talks in Geneva earlier this month, held under the Convention on Certain Con

Restore ICE Detainee Locations to the Public Locator System

Demand that ICE immediately restore all detainees to its online locator system. On September 15, the agency quietly removed thousands of people with final removal orders from the public database — with no announcement, no explanation, and no legal basis for doing so. Lawyers and families are now una

Abolish ICE and Replace It With a Professional, Trustworthy Immigration Agency.

As your constituent, I am concerned by Amnesty International’s September 24, 2026 report, “We Had Whistles, They Had Guns,” which documents repeated abuses by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies. I urge you to support legislation abolishing ICE and repl

Make It Law: Without Congressional Approval, There Can Be No 25-Story Trump Arch

As your constituent, I urge you to introduce, cosponsor, and pass a new federal law governing the proposed 25-story Trump Arch at Memorial Circle. Congress should act before construction begins, prohibiting the project unless Congress specifically authorizes it and backs that prohibition with effect

Stop Deportations to Countries Where People Have No Meaningful Connection

As your constituent, I urge you to support legislation banning the administration’s practice of removing migrants to “third countries” - countries with which they have no meaningful connection. It can put a person on a plane to a country where he or she has no home, family, or support. Someone whom

Protect Medical Research From White House Political Control

As your constituent, I ask you to protect National Institutes of Health research grants from White House political control. NIH supports research to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases. A White House board could let officials outside NIH block grants even after scientific review and approval. A W

Investigate and Prosecute the Collins-Navatek Pay-to-Play Scheme

Reopen the FBI investigation into Susan Collins and the Navatek pay-to-play scheme — and pursue charges wherever the evidence leads. ProPublica's reporting makes clear this is not a matter of political disagreement. A defense contractor confessed to FBI agents that his company won over $40 million i

Congressional Oversight into FBI Bribery Investigation Involving Collins and Others A ProPublica investigation published September 22, 2026 reports that Navatek CEO Martin Kao told FBI agents his company won millions in federal contracts by making political contributions to powerful politicians and

Defend the First Amendment: Condemn Trump's White House Press Ban

You need to publicly condemn the Trump administration's decision to ban CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House and demand those credentials be restored immediately. Revoking press access because the administration dislikes a news outlet's coverage is a direct attack on the First Amendment. Th

From a verified voter in Cumberland Center, ME

How can you let Donald Trump continue to seize power over every part of this country? Where is the balance of power between the three branches of government? I’m so disgusted by congressional support of his administration and racist, unscientific, and self important policies.

Trump Moves to Take Control of N.I.H. Grants

I am writing to urge you to immediately stop the administration’s terrifying attempt to seize direct political control over National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants. Drafted executive orders forcing external, political veto boards onto scientific review are completely unhinged. Replacing rigoro

Pass Kennedy Center Preservation Act Before Irreversible Demolition Can Occur

As your constituent, I urge you to introduce, cosponsor, and pass a Kennedy Center Preservation Act making clear that no President, board, agency, contractor, or other person may demolish or substantially destroy the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts unless Congress first approves it by

Bring the House Back into Session - Do Not Let Leadership Block Its Power to Act

As your constituent, I am asking you to defend the right of every member of the U.S. House of Representatives to act on properly raised business, rather than allowing House leadership to block action by canceling a scheduled legislative day. Speaker Mike Johnson canceled the House’s final scheduled

Republicans Enabled This Costly War. End It. The Iran war is now seven months old, and it is getting worse, not better, because Congress keeps letting it. This week alone: Houthi forces closed in on another shipping chokepoint, and oil jumped again, with Brent crude spiking over 3% in a single se

Prevent the Closure, Renaming and Possible Demolition of the Kennedy Center

I urge Congress to act immediately to protect the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The President should not be permitted to close, rename, fundamentally alter, or potentially demolish the national institution Congress created as America’s performing arts center and living memorial to

Set Enforceable Safeguards Before Advanced AI Causes Serious Harm

As a constituent, I urge Congress to establish enforceable safeguards for the most powerful artificial-intelligence systems. Systems capable of catastrophic harm should not advance without meaningful human control, independent testing, and public accountability. HUMAN BEINGS MUST REMAIN IN CONTROL

Deportation Cases Must Not Proceed When Government Withholds Needed Records

As a constituent, I urge you to investigate reports that federal immigration agencies are making it harder for immigrants to get government records they need in deportation cases. Some may help prove a person has the legal right to stay in the United States. Congress should stop improper delays, exc

Block the EPA's Repeal of Carbon Pollution Standards for Power Plants

The EPA is about to finalize the repeal of carbon pollution standards for coal- and gas-fired power plants, and I need you to fight it. Lee Zeldin's announcement would gut rules that were on track to cut 1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions by 2047. The electricity sector already accoun

Preserve Due Process for Refugees

As a constituent, I urge you to protect the 30-day opportunity refugees now have to defend their legal status before the government terminates it. The Department of Homeland Security is preparing a rule that could remove or shorten that protection. The proposal is identified as RIN 1615-AD23. REFUG
