Keep Dr. Oz out of our health
I’m writing to demand that you oppose the nomination of ‘Dr.’ Oz for CMS administrator. Oz has repeatedly promoted dangerous medical misinformation for his own financial gain and has no substantial leadership experience. CMS insures nearly half of Americans and must be lead by someone with leader
Education
President Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Education Department pose a threat to public school students all across the country and to education as we know it, especially for students with disabilities, people with student loans, and students’ civil rights. I want you to oppose Trump’s destruction of
Save our libraries
I am writing to you today to express my support for federal library funding and stand against President Trump's Executive Order against the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). I believe the IMLS provides important support for the services and sustainability of local libraries and museu

Preserve our free speech
The introduction of Minnesota Senate File 2589 is a deeply concerning attempt to pathologize and criminalize political dissent. The vague language around terms like "paranoia," "general hysteria," and "intense hostility" grants authorities far too much power to broadly interpret any criticism of the
Sound the Alarms In Minnesota, Senate File 2589 has been introduced, proposing to classify “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) as a recognized mental illness. The bill defines TDS as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and presidencies of Pres
Support SB 2184
Please support the passing of SB2184, or the Compassionate Use and Research of Entheogens Act. Many studies show the medical benefits of psilocybin for many different health conditions, both physical and mental. Allow patients to have the right to choose treatment that may benefit them.

Hello, What is the democratic party doing now, to preserve and reclaim an effective and respectful United States of America? Specifically, after 25 years what are you doing? Thank you. Be well.
Autism and vaccines
I'm a concerned citizen who is wondering why Mr. Kennedy is wasting our government 's time and resources on trying to link vaccines with autism, which has been debunked with decades worth of scientific studies. His skeptism is in bad faith and had caused more harm in public health.
Fight for Mahmoud Khalil, for our community
Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia graduate who is married to a U.S. citizen, is a green card holder, making him a “lawful” permanent resident of the United States. By going after a lawful resident, Trump is expanding his war on the many supposed threats besieging America. please stand up to the illegal, u
Vote NO on the continuing resolution
The continuing resolution for funding the government must not be passed in its current form. It locks in Elon Musk's illegal and unauthorized cuts, in essence validating a process that obviates Congress's "power of the purse" as enumerated in the constitution. Musk's attacks on activities already
Al Green
I’m writing to express my outrage at fellow democrats’ vote to censure Rep. Al Green. It’s appalling that while heckling during President Biden’s State of the Union was ignored, Rep. Green was singled out for peacefully protesting during Trump’s address. This blatant double standard is unacceptable
Rep. Al Green
Thanks for not voting to censure Rep. Al Green. Speaking out against Trump on a national stage is so important and I'm glad he did it.
Try doing something
Please do something substantial to stop Trump and co. We need action now!!
Lack of action
I am writing because I do not have faith that the Democratic party is doing enough to fight against Elon Musk and Trumps agenda to dismantle the US government and its institutions. I ask you to: 1. Show more courage in protecting our government and institutions like how Congressman Al Green did l
I feel like every time I send a fax it is because something stupider than the last one has happened, all caused by the executive branch. I just need to know what will be the last straw? Will it be too late? Please act. Fight tarrifs and fight the executive overreach with everything you've got. The f
Vote NO on the SAVE Act
The SAVE Act, H.R. 22 / S. 128, is an unnecessary and damaging bill that would require voters to present proof of citizenship in person (typically a birth certificate or passport) every time they register or update their registration. However, there’s already a citizenship affirmation on voter regis
Protect our freedom of speech
Free speech and the right to protest are fundamental rights in a democracy. Threatening to withhold funding from universities and imprison protestors is an unacceptable attack on these core values. We must firmly reject any attempts to stifle dissent or transform America into an authoritarian state.
All Democrats must file out en masse during Trump’s speech on Tuesday
I BEG you to use Tuesday’s Joint Session of Congress as an opportunity to grab the attention of the American people and show them that Trump & Musk’s authoritarian takeover of our government is NOT normal and NOT acceptable. This is a national emergency. We are quickly descending into authoritariani
Support Ukraine
The actions of Trump and Vance were deplorable when meeting with Zelensky. I and the majority of my fellow Americans recognize that Russia is the aggressor and committing war crimes and terrorism in Ukraine. We want and expect the USA to support Ukraine and condemn Russia’s actions. What I witnessed
President Zelensky is a hero, Condemn Trump
I am absolutely disgusted by the behavior of Trump and his group of Republicans during their meeting with President Zelensky. They treated him like garbage. They're acting like the war is Zelensky's fault. It's absolutely insane. We all know Trump is a Russian asset. I know it's near impossible to i
Reinstate all fired employees to the NWS and NOAA
Reinstate the NWS. All of the government firings lately have been a step too far, and the NWS firings no less. This cannot be legal and it must be opposed. People will die because of this, and this shows that insane people are currently controlling the executive branch. Please take action.
Do not compromise on spending bills
I am seeing news that Democrats are considering compromising on annual appropriations bills because they don't want to get blamed for a shutdown. I am extremely concerned that Democrats are considering throwing away the one major chip they have in this game out of cowardice. Considering everything g
Support Compassionate Healthcare for Vulnerable Federal Workers
The Compassion for Vulnerable and Struggling Workers Act is a crucial piece of legislation that aims to provide essential healthcare coverage for fired federal workers facing difficult circumstances. It offers a compassionate solution by extending the Federal Employees Health Benefits program to tho
Protect VA healthcare system for veterans' wellbeing
The Veterans' ACCESS Act poses a grave threat to the VA health care system that veterans depend on. By allowing unrestricted access to private outpatient care without VA oversight, and expanding this to all medical services after three years, the bill would effectively transform the VA into an insur
Stop RFK’s misinformation campaign
I am writing to condemn RFK Jr.’s confirmation to the health department and to urge you to fight for those of us whose lives were saved by antidepressants. At the age of 10 I was hospitalized with severe anorexia and nearly died when my organs began failing. With these life saving medications and
Reject Disastrous Withdrawal from NATO Alliance
Based on the concerning reports that President Trump is considering withdrawing the United States from NATO, I urge you to take decisive action to prevent such a disastrous decision. Abandoning our longstanding commitment to the NATO alliance would severely undermine America's global standing and na
Thank you for your effort tonight
I saw that tonight the Republicans passed the first part of their effort to slash Medicaid and SNAP to pay for billionaires to get a tax break. However, I also saw the effort that you and other Democrats put in to make them squeeze for every last vote. I wanted to thank you for your work here, and f
Will Congresswoman Schakowsky be present to vote today?
I want to make sure that Congresswoman Janice D. Schakowsky will be present for this vote today, Feb 25. —because I’m hearing that Democrats are having attendance issues. Republicans are pushing a disastrous budget bill that slashes essential programs and hands over power to Trump and Elon Musk to
Please help.
I oppose the firings of federal workers across the country. I am also scared and upset about an unelected bigoted billionaire requiring people to submit emails proving they’re doing their jobs, especially people in positions like Air Traffic Control. I am disturbed and disheartened that big compan
