Security clearance vetting for Musk
The Washington Post reports: “Elon Musk is scheduled to receive a briefing by Defense Department leaders focused on the threat posed by China and the billionaire’s work to slash the U.S. government bureaucracy, according to people familiar with the matter.” The big question the country is asking is:
We demand that you host a town hall meeting in our district
I have been wondering if you still represent my district in the U.S. House of Representatives. I have written you repeatedly and never received any response. We, the people, your electors, demand that you host a town hall meeting in our voting district.
Act immediately to defend education and research in our nation
The executive actions of President Trump a wreaking havoc on our country’s ability to conduct research and to educate our citizens. Our future looks darker with every passing day. Academic conferences are being cancelled because they fear suffering funding cuts by this Administration. Educational pr
Act to keep our international alliances
I just returned from my first international trip since President Trump was inaugurated and I want to report to you what I heard from people in Denmark. The conversations I had with locals in Copenhagen echoed precisely what I had heard from friends and academic collaborators abroad. People don’t rec
Oppose cuts in DoE
This just happened. The U.S. Department of Education announced that they intend to fire 50 PERCENT of their staff. This means 1,315 people will no longer support Pennsylvania’s public school students, $1.6 billion in federal funding for Pennsylvania’s public schools is put at risk, and nearly 7,000
Demand Accountability: A Town Hall for the People
our elected representatives, As citizens of the United States, we find ourselves at a critical crossroads. The political turmoil unfolding across our nation has left many of us frustrated, confused, and deeply concerned about the direction our country is heading. The divisions, the chaos, and the la
Stop this Fake National Emergency
So, a day is not a day? House Republicans can just unilaterally change what constitutes a day if it means they don’t have to go on record as being either opposed to or in favor of the president’s tariffs? So now instead of having a 2-week window in which to vote on whether to end a made-up “National
Protect our 1st, 5th, and 14th Amendment Rights and Release Mahmoud Khalil
I am writing out of concern for our precious First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights and to demand the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil. Mahmoud Khalil was within his First Amendment rights to protest peacefully. In violation of our Fifth Amendment, Khalil was illegally arrested. I belie
STOP TRUMPS POINTLESS TRADE WAR
I am a constituent from Centre County and I want to know what you are planning to do about Donald Trump's destruction of our economy and pointless trade war. Further, I want to know why you have not spoken out on behalf of the veterans and others who have lost their jobs to Elon musk's random cuts.
Uphold Federal Regulation Use of Public Office for Private Gain - 5 C.F.R. §2635
Elon Musk is a friend of President Trump. They have stated that publicly. Today, the President is advertising for Tesla cars and violating a federal regulation : “Use of Public Office for Private Gain - 5 C.F.R. § 2635.702 As a DOI employee, you may not use your public office for your own private ga
President Trump is out of control: act to protect the U.S. NOW
President Trump is out of control. His impulsiveness is causing international crises and severely destabilizing our economy. Another 25% of tariffs on Canada? Comments about annexation? Where is this going? You need to speak up and you need to do it immediately. For four years the GOP said the count
Request town hall during March congressional recess
Your representative should hold a town hall during the upcoming March recess to allow for direct dialogue with constituents. Insist that your member of Congress schedule a public town hall forum so you can voice concerns, seek accountability, and ensure your needs are heard in person. The March rece
Reject Cuts to Medicaid and Medicare to Fund Billionaire Tax Giveaways
I am writing to urge that you reject the mandatory spending cuts laid out in House Concurrent Resolution 14 as the budget process continues. Congress must pass a budget that actually benefits Americans instead of slashing funds to essential life-saving programs like Medicaid in order to finance tax
Protect funding for science and technology in the USA or we will be LAST!
According to the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), Europe will spend €1 Billion in 10-year-long megaproject that will go beyond quantum computing and cryptography to advance other emerging technologies. In the meantime, the Trump administration is hellbent to defunding scienc
Protect women
The president's executive order banning transgender women and girls from participating in women's sports is misguided and discriminatory. Transgender women are women. They should have the same rights and opportunities to compete in sports as any other woman. This order perpetuates harmful myths, sti
Push the White House to resume support to Ukraine immediately
Our foreign policy is getting beyond nonsensical. We antagonize allies and we cozy up to enemies. As of right now, all our aid to Ukraine is on hold. Europe is stepping up to help, but they cannot do enough because they don’t have the military and the industrial capacity to provide what Ukraine need
Reinstate USAID to prevent us from dying of new diseases
Gutting USAID is already having a devastating impact around the world. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, teams that would normally be racing to identify a fatal sickness are gone. Once these diseases leave the places of origin, it will be just a matter of time until they reach the United States.
Do not let the president cut off funds to Ukraine
congress Impounding funds already appropriated by Congress for Ukraine is both illegal and unconstitutional — not to mention morally abhorrent and anti-democratic. Please take back Congressional control from the executive branch and stand up for democracy and American values.
Pass the Original LAW Act
The current minimum wage in the United States is failing to provide a livable income for millions of Americans. By tying the minimum wage to 40% above the federal poverty threshold for a family of four, the Original LAW Act would ensure that full-time workers can adequately support themselves and th
Take a stand against Nazis and their sympathisers.
I just watched Steve Bannon sieg hiel on stage. There seem to be a lot of Nazis walking in and around the Republican party. Are you, as Republican leaders also Nazis or Nazi sympathisers? If not, you need to take your ass to the Congressional floor and vote to impeach and remove the Nazis and t
The Executive is killing science - make it stop
The Trump administration has begun firing employees at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, one of the world’s premier centers for climate science. It has attacked other sources of funding for science, it has made us leave the World Health Organization, and we are now going to ignore
Save the NWS/NOAA
I am sure you realize that the NWS and NOAA have a big presence in your district, how many meteorologists are graduates of Penn State University (also in your district), and how many of them will blame Republicans for the loss of jobs and the chaos this most recent round of unfair firings will cause
Stand up for the truth and get involved in the peace talks
There is incontrovertible, photographic evidence that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth knows that it was Russia that invaded Ukraine and started this heinous, 3-year long war. This is what he thought and reported on, before he became a yes-man. Then President Trump presented lies that all his cabin
Stop conflicts of interest - they harm our democracy
According to The Washington Post, “The Federal Aviation Administration is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract to overhaul a communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control system and awarding the work to Elon Musk’s Starlink, according to two people brief
VOTE NO ON BUDGET
I am a constituent from Centre county and want to to vote No on today's budget. It does not support middle or working class Americans like me and most of your constituents. No tax cuts for billionaires - trickle down economics is a fantasy.
Decisive action needed against Russia's aggression in Ukraine
The conflict in Ukraine has reached an alarming point, with Russia's brazen aggression and flagrant disregard for international law posing a grave threat to regional stability and global security. Putin's regime has shown a callous disregard for human life, indiscriminately targeting civilians and c
Oppose the House Budget Committee’s budget resolution
I am writing to demand that you oppose the House Budget Committee’s budget resolution, which deepens the deficit and will precipitate (actually mandate!) funding cuts to essential programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and more — all in order to finance Trump’s promised tax cuts for the wealthy. This pr
Stop the conflicts of interest with Elon Musk
Elon Musk has more power than a cabinet secretary and, yet, he is not Senate-confirmed. This in itself sounds like a violation of the social contract between the American people and the government. The White House has yet to define a charge for DOGE and Musk’s team, so it sounds like they created s
This is not America
In a predictable turn of events, President Trump stated publicly that President Zelinski started the war with Russia when we know the war started with Russia invading Ukraine. President Trump stated that President Zelinski is a dictator because Ukraine hasn’t held elections since he rose to the pres
