No Breaks for the Senate!
No breaks for Congress! Time is of the essence! There are judges to confirm along with key folks at independent commissionslike National Labor Relations Board Chair Lauren McFerran; crucial press protections and a key improvement to Social Securityare awaiting final passage; the government still
I am writing you to voice my alarm about President-elect Trump's desire to circumvent the Senate's constitutionally-mandated advice and consent for his - in my opinion, outrageously unsuitable and horrific - nominations. Billionaires with minimal, if any, actual qualifications for the jobs beyond th
Enrico Tario, Stewart Rhodes, and the other participants convicted and sentenced in the January 6, 2021 insurrection must not be pardoned. Their pardon will set a precedent that our country may not be able to overcome. You are our representation in our government. You must make it crystal clear that
Say No To Sending The Troops Into Mexico
Despite minimal public discussion on this crucial matter, we continue to see alarming signs that the Trump Administration will go forward with military strikes against the cartels in Mexico as promised - with or without the permission of the Mexican government. Sending in our troops and turning the
Pardon Trump targets
Congress MUST pressure Biden to give FULL pardons to all Trump targets
REJECT TRUMP HENCHMAN PATEL AS HEAD OF THE FBI Donald Trump announced Saturday that he intends to replace current FBI director Christopher Wray with Kash Patel, one of his most loyal henchmen. Wray’s term lasts until 2027, suggesting Trump is preparing to fire Wray or force him to resign, and even b
Please object to the appointment of Massad Boulos as senior advisor to the Middle East. Boules is Trump’s daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law so this would be another nepotistic appointment. Boulos is unqualified for the role other than having links in Lebanon.
Oppose the appointment of Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel. Huckabee is a hardline Zionist who has said that “there is no such thing as Palestinians.” Appointing a pro-Israel ambassador is counter to a goal of peace and aligns America with Netanyahu who has been charged with war crimes by the I
Please speak out against the proposed nepotistic appointment of Charles Kushner as ambassador to France. He is a criminal, previously pardoned by Trump because he is the father of Trumps son-in-law, Jared Kushner, not because Charles deserved pardon. This appointment is similarly nepotistic and Char
Defend against government spying
The escalating use of intrusive spyware by governments against citizens poses a grave threat to privacy and civil liberties. As outlined here, several Western democracies have been embroiled in scandals involving the deployment of powerful phone-hacking tools against political opponents, activists,
No recess appointments
Please do not allow Trump to make recess appointments. He has nominated arguably the worst cabinet in history. They must have public hearings and, as appropriate, be opposed. Criminals and incompetents have no place at the heads of agencies.
Fully fund social security
The Social Security Administration (SSA) plays a crucial role in ensuring access to earned benefits for millions of Americans. However, years of underfunding have compromised its ability to provide quality service. To safeguard public access and maintain efficient operations, the SSA's administrativ
Fully fund Social Security Administration to protect benefits
The Social Security Administration is severely underfunded, with a minimum funding level currently set far below what is needed to properly serve the public and protect access to earned benefits. This unacceptable situation puts vulnerable Americans at risk of not receiving their rightfully owed Soc
Set minimum funding for SSA at 1.2% of benefit outlays. Protect earned benefits.
The Social Security Administration is facing a dire funding crisis that threatens timely and accurate service for millions of Americans who have earned their benefits. Congress must take immediate action to ensure the agency has the resources it needs to fulfill its vital role. Set the minimum fundi
I’m writing to demand the senator do their constitutional duty and hold proper confirmation hearings for Trump’s Cabinet appointments. Allowing recess appointments will only further the erosion of our necessary system of checks and balances. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Judicial appointments
I’ve just learned that Chuck Schumer is considering making a deal with Republicans that would abandon 4 US appeals court nominees in order to smooth the process of confirming district court nominees. This is devastating, as it would give these critical vacancies to Trump. We can’t leave any pending
DON’T END THE LAME DUCK WITHOUT RECONFIRMING THE NLRB CHAIR
The current majority on the National Labor Relations Board has served working people well, making it easier for workers to organize and harder for big corporations to seek retribution against them for doing so. They need to be able to continue this important work. Current Chair Lauren McFerran’s ter
Block HR 9495
As a new Trump administration prepares to take over the White House, Congress is on the brink of handing the executive branch new and far reaching powers to silence dissent in the United States. H.R. 9495, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, authorizes broad and eas
Oppose H.R. 9495!
I'm writing to ask that you oppose H.R. 9495, the bill that just passed in the House and is now making its way to the Senate. This bill, which purports to exist to oppose terrorism, would put all non-profits in danger of dissolution by political opposition, and would pose a severe danger to American
Cabinet Senate Denials
I'm writing to request that you vote against (or urge your colleges to, in and outside of the state) the senate confirmation of Russell Vought as head of the Office of Management and Budget. I am concerned about the architect of Project 2025 in that role, in any official role, and his plans to inpl
Please thoroughly review Trump’s appointees in confirmation hearings.
As President-elect Donald Trump begins filling out his Cabinet and administration appointments, it is imperative that these potential officials undergo thorough vetting and scrutiny. Recent revelations surrounding the withdrawal of Matt Gaetz's nomination for attorney general have raised concerns ab
Please Vote No on HR 9495
I am respectfully asking you to vote no on House Bill 9495. Per the ACLU this is a bill that would give the incoming Trump administration new power to muzzle, punish, and effectively shut down tax-exempt organizations without transparency or appropriate due process. This misguided piece of legislati
Thank you for voting for the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval!
Thank for you voting for the Joint Resolution of Disapproval that is against arming Israel. I'm glad to have you as my senators. Please keep doing all you can to challenge the US arming Israel.
Reject Pam Bondi for Attorney General. Cabinet positions should not be held by people who have worked for the political interests of foreign countries or corrupt people who are willing to take bribes. Bondi is both.
More than 88 million Americans, including 40 million children, receive health care coverage thanks to Medicaid. The Trump administration is threatening significant cuts to this crucial program, along with food stamps, to pay for tax cuts to billionaires. Medicaid should be as sacrosanct in our polit
Democratic Re-Calibration
My Dear Senators, I’m writing to express my deep conviction that the Democratic Party is in need to some major re-calibration. We should not have lost the election by any amount, let alone this much. And I feel the reason is that the Party’s approach to messaging has been focused on the faithful,
Vote no on federal bathroom ban
Representative Nancy Mace's antitrans bill effectively would ban trans people from participating in public life. I expect you to vote to defeat this attack on their basic human rights.
Fully fund social security
For decades, inadequate funding has undermined the Social Security Administration's ability to provide quality service to the public. It's unacceptable for Americans to endure long wait times and struggle to access the benefits they've earned through a lifetime of hard work. Fully funding the agency
Please reject the candidacy of Tulsi Gabbard as intelligence head. She is openly pro-Russia! The intelligence department is supposed to protect the US fr om undue influence by foreign powers, not facilitate it!
Social Security must be fully funded to ensure American workers and retirees receive the benefits they have earned. Adequate staffing is critical for the Social Security Administration to process claims and provide essential services efficiently. As your constituent, I urge you to prioritize legisla
