Complete and total ceasefire? Mini War? Whatever it is – we are winning? Hostilities terminated? Ceasefire? Ceasefire negates need for War Powers Act? Hostilities have ended? Excursion? Project Freedom? Humanitarian escort? The words above are a sampling of what has been said by the president. This

De-escalate the conflict in Iran

I am writing as a concerned constituent to urge you to support every available effort to de-escalate the current conflict involving Iran and to prioritize diplomacy over further military escalation. Like many Americans, I am deeply concerned for the people of Iran, for civilians throughout the regi

I understand the Constitution gives the states the power to conduct elections, so I don’t need a civics lesson.  But non-census year redistricting is UNETHICAL. Would Congress act if the states changed their voting processes to deliberately disenfranchise minority voters?  What if the states redist

Why am I seeing news stories with pictures of you scooting along sidewalks? IC 9-21-11-12 prohibits riding an e-bike on a sidewalk. IC 9-21-11-13.6 holds scooters to the same standards as bikes. I'm a responsible cyclist and often a pedestrian. This kind of selfish, careless behavior gives a bad n

You allow too much chaos.

Question for the day: are you all insane? The White House blames Democrats and the media for the incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Karoline Leavitt called all critics of Trump and/or GOP policies a “left-wing cult of hatred against POTUS and all of those who support him” and blam

Science should be evidence-based, not political. I’m concerned that all 22 members of the advisory board overseeing the U.S. National Science Foundation were abruptly dismissed on April 24 and without explanation. When Republicans destroy the foundation of basic research, it sets science back decade

Fifty-five percent think he does not have the physical health to serve as president. Fifty-four percent say they

You must restore ACA subsidies. Congressional Republicans let Obamacare subsidies expire. Now millions are losing coverage — and the Trump admin is calling it a success. Here’s an example of what is actually happening. When Megan Burkett, 49, a nurse practitioner in Arroyo Grande, California went t

Stop Trump’s Ballroom

The recently-published Senate Judiciary and HSGAC reconciliation bills are out. They include $1 billion for Donald Trump’s ballroom, a structure he claimed was fully-funded by donations. This is an outrageous fleecing of taxpayers that must be stopped in its tracks. Additionally, a full audit must

Impeach Trump for burning tax dollars while stealing from vulnerable Americans

Trump is stealing money from disabled and elderly SSI beneficiaries and their families, deterring families from providing care, all while literally spending more than ever.

Who pays you for our deaths? Asking for victims of preventable mass shootings.

In the past 72 hours, there have been an additional THREE mass shootings. Nowhere else in the world has such violence flourished under a “free” and democratically elected president. When Bill Clinton banned assault weapons, gun violence bottomed out, but the GOP needed their GI Joe guns more than he

The 60-Day Clock Has Expired. Where Are You?

The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is the law. It is not a suggestion. It is not a relic. It was passed by Congress explicitly to prevent presidents from doing exactly what Donald Trump is doing right now: waging war indefinitely, without authorization, without accountability, and without you.

Don't Redistrict, Don't Gerrymander

I am a constituent writing to urge you to oppose gerrymandering in Tennessee. Redistricting now to try to win an extra seat is wrong. It sends the message that cheating in politics is okay.
