Protect our elections

I was deeply concerned when the Attorney General told the Governor of Minnesota that if Minnesota handed over the state voter rolls ICE would leave. First, the federal government has no jurisdiction over elections at the state level. Secondly, how could voter rolls possibly have anything to do with

Shocked 😳 ChatGPT should not run our cyber security!

I am writing as a deeply concerned constituent regarding recent reporting that Madhu Gottumukkala, the acting Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), uploaded sensitive government documents into the commercial AI platform ChatGPT. This is not a partisan issue. It is

Oppose ICE Mass Raids and Support Abolishing the Agency

I am writing to urge you to take immediate action against the mass ICE raids currently being conducted in cities across the country. These large-scale enforcement operations are creating fear and chaos in our communities, making people afraid to access basic services like healthcare, education, and

Congressional Action

I’m writing to state that I understand moving Greg Bovino from Minneapolis is the president’s way of trying to desperately find an offramp for the reckless actions of ICE that are the sole responsibility of his administration. The primary responsibility of congress to the constituents you represen

Oversight and limits on ICE deployments and tactics

I’m writing as a Maine constituent to object to the Administration’s recent ICE build-ups and the way ICE is being used in American cities and towns. I’m asking you to push for immediate congressional oversight and clear limits on these deployments and tactics. From what’s being reported and observ

Save Our Republic

We have now seen video footage of two American citizens gunned down without cause in our streets. The administration, the DHS, and ICE are completely out of control, and we are in a moment that demands heroic action by congress to deescalate tensions in our nation and hold the administration account

We Have Not Forgotten About the Epstein Files

Why is the DOJ defying the order to release all the Epstein files, and what is being done to force compliance? Trump’s regime is working hard to distract Americans from this violation, but we will not forget. The White House is shielding pedophiles. The Epstein files must be released.

Government Sanctioned Murder on the Streets of Minneapolis

Congress has a duty of oversight over ICE and CBP. Both of these agencies are openly murdering citizens on the streets. Congress’s abdication of its oversight duties has allowed this to happen. Now I’m hearing that investigation of the murder of Alex Pretti will be handled internally by the agencie

Stop funding ICE!

I am asking you, BEGGING you, to please not give any more of our hard earned tax dollars to fund ICE. I'm asking you as a constituent, as an American, and as a human. being carted away in their underwear in freezing temperatures for no reason. What is happening in our streets cannot continue; Ameri

In Trump’s Amerikkka only some people have 2nd Amendment rights

Do I understand correctly that ICE is now shooting people for carrying a legally licensed weapon while protesting? A man was shot and killed in Minneapolis today while recording ICE agents assaulting a woman. They nailed him on the ground and shot him. I guess the 2nd Amendment doesn’t apply to s

Witnesses are now considered domestic terrorists

ICE agents in Maine are telling witnesses that standing on a sidewalk with a camera now qualifies as domestic terrorism. That’s right. They tell us they are building a database of witnesses and labeling them as terrorists so they can declare martial law. Do you know what terrifies me? Federal agents

Bank in Qatar

Selling stolen oil and putting billions of dollars in a bank in Qatar to be spent at Trump’s whim and without Congressional approval is not Constitutional. Only Congress can appropriate money. The President can NOT legally create a second Treasury overseas for his own piggy bank! Wake up Congre

Oppose Funding for Ice in Upcoming Budget Process

I urge you to oppose any budget resolution or appropriations bill that increases or sustains funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE has repeatedly engaged in practices that violate basic civil rights and due process, separate families, and inflict unnecessary harm on communitie

Why aren’t you impeaching Trump? He is clearly not well mentally or physically. He is rambling on and saying bizarre. Things in front of world leaders. His acting in ways that are destabilizing the country and the whole world. What’s wrong with you that you cannot stand up and protect us? It’s time

From a verified voter in South Portland, ME

I’m writing from south Portland to ask that you push to defund ICE by opposing any DHS appropriations bill that maintains ICE funding and supporting legislation that claws back the $75 billion ICE slush fund created by H.R. 1 last year. This lawless agency is violently attacking and killing immigran

End ICE overreach

I'm ready to express my concern regarding ICE overreach and intimidation. They are violating people's First and Fourth amendment rights by assaulting protesters and going into people's homes without proper legal authority. I believe there should be more oversight of this agency and I emphatically op

Oppose the Homeland Security Funding Bill

I am writing to urge you to vote against the Homeland Security funding bill released by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. While this bill makes modest reductions to ICE operations, it fundamentally fails to address the agency's pattern of abuses and lawless behavior that have harmed co

Reclaim Congressional Authority

I’m writing today to very simply state that the president’s declining mental acuity is of grave concern. Imposing a trade war on our European allies, and openly stating he wants to take control of a NATO ally (Greenland) are, generously, insane. Further, after the invasion of Venezuela that complete

25th Amendment

It’s the middle of the night, and I can’t sleep because our President is pushing us into war with NATO. He is clearly not competent, and he is endangering American safety. When will the adults in the room take responsibility?

Ice took over Portland today! Videos of people being taken away by thugs are being shared widely! As a trained ice verifier I went to check on 4 ICE sighting BEFORE BREAKFAST! A mom and her kids en route to school, an 18 yo out getting groceries for his family! This is ungodly! Hold the budget ti

Calling on Congress to Stop the Unhinged Madness

RE: Calling on Congress to Stop the Unhinged Madness Dear Members of Congress, President Trump’s message to Norway’s Prime Minister—reportedly circulated beyond Norway through U.S. diplomatic channels—was unhinged. It was shot through with falsehoods and grievance, including fixation on the Nobel Pe

Stop funding ICE terror campaign

It is unacceptable that Congress is funding the Gestapo-esque tactics of ICE. My fellow Mainers who happen to be people of color justifiably feel that they must hide in their homes even if they are US citizens. I am volunteering to provide food to families in hiding. I am starting to feel like Miep

Stop the Greenland Madness

Dear Members of Congress, President Trump has publicly linked his push to seize control of Greenland to his failure to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and he is threatening coercive tactics against NATO allies to achieve that aim. This is unhinged madness. I urge Congress to act immediately to blo

Demand the Release of the Epstein files now. Don’t protect child rapists.

From a verified voter in South Portland, ME

What is Trump hiding in the Epstein Files?

Do I understand correctly that the DOJ on January 17th filed a motion to prevent the rest of the Epstein files being released? Why does this administration believe they are above the law? Why isn’t Congress checking his overreach? We are living in a banana republic, and your office no longer has any

You have to help stop the violence being caused by one government!!!! Renee good’s killer must be charged! The anonymity and lack of training for ice thugs has to stop! We’re living in fear of OUR OWN GOVT?!?!?! SHUT IT DOWN!!!! ICE has to be totally reined in !!! Use the budget, use what ever

Oppose domestic use of federal forces for political intimidation

I’m writing as your constituent and an Army veteran to urge you to oppose—and actively constrain—the use of federal forces for broad, show-of-force deployments in U.S. cities and towns. In a constitutional democracy, public order is maintained primarily by accountable, civilian law enforcement unde

Strong objection to any U.S. attempt to take Greenland—especially by force

I am writing as a constituent to express my strong objection to any Administration effort to pursue a U.S. “takeover” of Greenland—especially any contemplation of coercion or the use of force. I urge you to publicly and firmly oppose any such policy, and to use every constitutional tool available to

Escalating Abuse by ICE

Members of Congress, I write to urge immediate congressional action in response to escalating abuses by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Recent court deference to executive immigration enforcement has left a dangerous accountability gap. When judicial oversight is limited, responsibil
