On March 30, 2026, President Trump publicly threatened to destroy Iran’s desalination plants if a deal is not reached “shortly.” Multiple legal experts — including professors of international law and Amnesty International — have stated that deliberately targeting civilian water infrastructure violat

Trump‘s ballroom dreams now bedroom tears, help make this so

We write to urge your immediate attention to President Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing — a 120-year-old historic structure — to construct what can only be described as the most expensive ballroom since Versailles. Construction began in October 2025 without formal approval from the N

Vote to stop White House ballroom construction

I’m happy to read that there is an injunction halting the White House ballroom construction without Congressional approval. I ask you to withhold approval for this project. This construction debacle is clearly a way for the Trump family to siphon more money out of the Trump presidency while also d

Oligarchs are stealing our children’s futures

I truly don’t understand how the US, and specifically the GOP, has become devoted to supporting Russian oligarchs and Saudi kings. Personally, I’m not in favor of the oil embargo that has been crippling Cuba over the past several months, but I was shocked to hear this morning that the US has allowed

Per the Portland Press Herald 3/31/26, out of the 192 people arrested by immigration officials in late January, just 12 had criminal convictions. Our president is a liar. His immigration “policies” based on false pretenses, and his treatment of these people and their families inhumane. You/we not

Urgent: Iran War Is Depleting Critical U.S. Defense Capabilities I am writing to urge immediate congressional action on a documented national security threat created by the current administration’s conduct of the war with Iran. According to reporting by The Washington Post, confirmed by multiple

Do not cut healthcare to fund this illegal war in Iran. Taking away peoples healthcare to fund an illegal war is immoral and unethical. The people have spoken over the weekend with the No Kings March. Our numbers are large and do not want this war. And do not want Trump’s agenda. Stand up for what’

Despite the war and everything else Trump has done to distract us and you, the Epstein files still exist and indicate Trump has multiple accusations of child rape and other horrors. We have not forgotten and are not distracted. Crimes of this nature cannot and should not be swept under the rug. Y

From a constituent in Damariscotta, ME

Over 8 million people showed up to no kings events across the states. In addition, people participated in no kinds events in six continents. The people have spoken. Trump is a horrendous human and horrific president. We want you to stand up to him, abolish ice, stop the war in Iran, Cuba, Venezu

**Demand Accountability for Israeli Killing of Journalists in Lebanon** I need you to demand accountability for Israel's targeted killing of journalists in Lebanon and condition all military aid on compliance with international law. On Saturday, Israeli forces fired four precision missiles at a clea

Codify Trans Civil Rights Into Law

The recent federal court ruling blocking Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s attempt to ban gender-affirming care proves that executive overreach cannot substitute for durable legal protections. Congress must pass legislation codifying trans civil rights before more young people lose access to

Investigate Faith Kates' Role in Connecting Models to Jeffrey Epstein

I'm calling on you to launch a federal investigation into Faith Kates and her role in connecting young models to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein over nearly four decades. A Guardian investigation uncovered over 5,000 mentions of Kates in Department of Justice documents, revealing she introdu

Reverse Hegseth racist demotions

I am writing to urge your oversight regarding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s reported removal of four officers—two Black and two female—from a one-star promotion list. Military promotions must remain apolitical and merit-based. These officers were selected through a rigorous process after years o

Oppose Military Escalation Against Iran and Prevent Occupation of Kharg Island

I need you to oppose further military escalation against Iran and block any plans to occupy Kharg Island. This war is destabilizing global energy markets and threatening food security worldwide. Brent Crude has already hit $119 per barrel. The Strait of Hormuz carries one-fifth of the world's shipp

Collecting citizens data without a warrant is current illegal. BUYING it however, is a legal work-around?!??!?! Congress needs to close the data broker loophole in FISA 702 reauthorization. The current system allows an "unprecedented expansion of warrantless mass surveillance that is sweeping up

Letter Generation

I'm calling on you to take immediate action to end the oil blockade and lift all U.S. sanctions against Cuba. These policies amount to economic warfare that is killing ordinary Cubans, not changing their government. Cuba has experienced three nationwide blackouts in March alone because the country

Market manipulation: insider trading or treason?

Whoever is profiting from insider knowledge of Donald Trump’s market manipulations needs to be brought to justice. On Monday morning $580 million in oil futures was traded in the minutes before Donald Trump announced that he was in productive talks with Iran. Talks which Iran later denied were hap

I want the Congressmember to sign on to Hakeem Jeffries’ discharge petition funding every agency under DHS except for ICE and CBP. It is shameful that Donald Trump is sabotaging such a deal because he wants to tie TSA funding to his voter suppression bill. TSA workers are suffering and so are trav

25th Amendment

What’s it going to take to remove our senile president from office? He is now telling the world that he is in non-existent peace talks with Iran. He is clearly not competent to lead our nation. He’s not even competent to lead a circus parade.

Protect all of our civil rights at the airport

Is President Trump threatening to send ICE to airports as a form of racial profiling and intimidation of people of color who are traveling? If so, isn’t there anything you can do to ensure that everybody’s basic civil rights are protected? Freedom to cross State lines is a core constitutional right

No more funding for Iran wars! Not only because it was illegally started without approval from Congress; or that the daily expenditures could solve our housing and/or health care crises (which it could!) not only because we have no business using military force to force regime change anywhere BUT AL

On March 21, 2026, Iran’s top military spokesman, Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi, publicly warned that “parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations” worldwide will no longer be safe for the enemies of Tehran. This is not a vague threat — it is a declared intent to target civilians anywhere on the gl

Vote No: Iran War Funding I am writing to urge you to exercise Congress’s constitutional authority over war powers and appropriations by voting against further funding for the war in Iran. The Pentagon has requested more than $200 billion in additional war funding. The United States has already

Do not confirm Markwayne Mullins as head of Homeland Security

I am not in favor of the nomination of Markwayne Mullins as head of Homeland Security. He believes that dueling is a reasonable way to solve a dispute. Why would we put him in charge of our safety?

No funding for war in Iran

I do not support the unlawful war in Iran, and I do not support any additional funding to prolong it. It appears that the only clearly defined objective of this war is to satisfy the ego of a demented tyrant. Please end the war, now.

Oppose the SAVE Act

I strongly implore you to oppose the SAVE Act which will only succeed in accelerating the already rapid decline of our democratic republic and plunge us into authoritarianism. We should be looking for ways to improve and ease voter access rather than further complicate and restrict the process.

Iran War

I have written previously about my opposition to the war in Iran. After several weeks of this war, it is clear the White House cannot articulate to the American public why the war was started. Every time the president speaks publicly, he contradicts himself. Our service members are dying. Our allies

‘Just for Fun’ Is Not a War Policy The President of the United States publicly stated this week that he may order additional strikes on Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal "just for fun." Fun. Three weeks into a war that has already killed more than 2,000 people. This is not hyperbole or a misquo

I am wholly opposed to this war in Iran. We are spending a billion dollars a day. Gas prices are skyrocketing. American servicemembers and thousands of civilians in the Middle East are being killed. It’s an environmental catastrophe. And there was no imminent threat to justify it. Congress needs
