New Democratic Leadership: Replace Jeffries and Schumer

Voters handed Democrats a clear mandate in this election. We expect leaders who will use it. I am asking you to support new leadership for the Democratic caucus in both chambers, and to vote against Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer when leaders are chosen. Under their leadership, Democrats have to

Support Majority Leadership That Reflects What Voters Sent You to Do

Support the choice of majority leaders who are better aligned with the needs and hopes of voters. The frustration pouring in from constituents makes one thing clear: people are watching leadership choices closely, and they are not satisfied with leaders who lack the backbone to fight for them. Lead

After the election

Congratulations! The American people gave you a well deserved victory. The work begins now. I know congress can multitask, so as you move forward, don't neglect accountability and justice. Until the perpetrators of corruption at the highest levels get their just desserts, americans will feel the ine

From a constituent in Placitas, NM

I urge you to support a more progressive party leader than Schumer and Jeffries. The election was a mandate for accountability as well as affordability. Jeffries and Schumer represent the old guard. Time to invigorate the party and push forward.

Democrats will soon be holding leadership elections, and we want you to know that we have no faith in Hakeem Jeffries to do the job we need. There is so much talent in this caucus, and so many lawmakers who have shown they know how to fight, to message effectively, and to inspire their base. Jeffr

Government workers bill

Please consider a bill that allows government workers such as VA workers to get their jobs back, giving them preference over new applicants and the veteran 10 point preference they had before.

We urge you to oppose S. 5653, the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act, in its current form. Please push to remove or amend the rollback of Section 106 historic preservation review and Tribal consultation, taxpayer-funded payouts to developers, and cuts to the National Environmental Poli

In September, water funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law ran out when Congress failed to renew it. Congress must restore federal funding and pass the WATER ACT to fully fund water and sewage system repairs, create good jobs for over one million people, help stop sewage overflows, and make

Please oppose the new rule that shortens the notice people with refugee status receive before the government terminates their status. Changing the notice from 30 days to just 10 days threatens the basic due process rights of those with refugee status on track for green cards. Please urge DHS and US

Israel and the U.S. have apparently developed plans to restart military strikes on Iran after the midterm elections. We are adamantly opposed to this. We do NOT want further military strikes. This war needs to end! Trump’s war is driving up prices and making life harder for working Americans. Enoug

Trump has been doing even more horrible things these past few days. He has ignored the Lindsay Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act and instead has lifted the Russian sanctions. He has turned against our ally Ukraine who has been defending itself against Russias unprovoked attack for years now.

We are SO tired of gun violence killing children in our country. It's happening more and more. And it’s immoral that Congress has failed to act. At the bare minimum, we need universal background checks, a federal ban on the purchase of high-capacity magazines and military-style assault weapons, and

We are very much opposed to Trump's deal to import Russian diesel. This is not right! We demand that Trump follows the law banning Russian energy imports. The U.S. should not be funding Putin’s war while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. Thank you.

The DOJ has raided the home of Rep. Ilhan Omar. This is just harassment, and we are furious that a department that is supposed to be independent has been turned into a weapon for Trump’s political vendettas. This needs to stop NOW. Stand up for the rule of law and rein in this corrupt president.

We want you to demand that Trump stop the Russian diesel deal. That “deal” would do little to drop oil prices in the United States. We are tired of Trump submitting to Putin over Ukraine - he’s being played, and it needs to stop.

We are absolutely horrified by the Pentagon’s plan to livestream the December 3 execution of Nidal Hasan. This is deplorable! A public execution puts us in the company of countries like Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea. It’s morally repugnant. The UN says it constitutes torture. If our childr
