Open Letters

From a verified voter in Montara, CA

I urge you to vote YES on AB 2461 and NO on AB 2716. AB 2461 protects taxpayers by requiring fossil fuel companies to provide financial assurance for the full cleanup cost when purchasing a well. The oil industry’s AB 2716 would weaken these protections. Please vote YES on AB 2461 and NO on AB 2716.

California Superior Court “AI” pilot programs undermine the judiciary

I’m writing in response to CalMatter’s reporting today that the LA and Riverside County Superior Courts are conducting “AI” law clerk pilot programs. LLMs are barely helpful in writing computer code - it’s completely fantastical and a violation of civil rights for them to guide court decisions by dr

First, I vehemently oppose Trump’s 1.8 billion dollar slush fund, his 1 billion dollar ballroom, and his 70 billion dollar reconciliation bill. Two-thirds of Americans say the country is going in the wrong direction and 70% disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy. Consumer sentiment has sunk t

Stop ICE and CBP horrors

I’m horrified at what’s happening at Delaney Hall in New Jersey as well as at detention centers across the country. Inmates are getting rotten food, being denied medical care, being verbally abused by guards, and being denied legal help. On top of that ICE agents are abusing protesters and pepper sp

First, I’m writing to urge the Congressmember to support legislation to block Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund. This fund is blatantly corrupt and will funnel taxpayer dollars to convicted criminals and insurrectionists at the expense of the American public. I also ask that the Congressmember move to

I want the Senator to support the Taxing Buybacks from Big Oil Windfalls Act, which was just introduced this week. It increases the stock buyback tax to 25% on large oil & gas companies, which is only fair while Americans are struggling under Trump’s spike in gas prices. The higher buyback tax rate

I’m asking you to oppose the falsely-named “Fix Our Forests Act” (S. 1462). The bill would override bedrock environmental laws to increase livestock grazing and widespread use of manager-ignited fire in Wilderness. Increasing livestock grazing that taxpayers already heavily subsidize will cost taxpa

We Search for the Missing — M-44s Could Kill Us Doing It

I am a volunteer Search and Rescue first responder. Our team, and many others, deploy nationwide — including to the July 4th Texas floods, Ruidoso NM wildfires, and Asheville NC flooding — with trained search dogs and horses to find the lost and missing. The April 2026 reversal of the M-44 cyanide

Pass Legislation to Limit Corporate Election Spending Like Hawaii's SB 2471

Hawaii just passed SB 2471 unanimously through its Senate, and Georgia should follow. The bill takes a straightforward approach: corporations are artificial persons created by state law, so the state can simply decline to grant them the power to spend money on elections. Individual citizens keep the

No corporate welfare for SpaceX with our 401Ks!

The handling of the SpaceX IPO is, or should be, illegal. I have no interest in acquiring a company that is basically dependent on welfare handouts from Republican government (it would be ironic if this wasn't how you always operate), and is now fast tracked to ensure that every 401k in the country

Please do all you can to sign on Bills A4300 and/or S3616. Private prisons are in the business of profit which does nothing to keep us safe or bring help to those who need it most. So let's tax them and redistribute to groups actually providing care. Thank you for all you are doing to support our

I am very upset that you vetoed SB351 and HB650, regarding warrantless arrests by ICE. Your executive order is insufficient and too easily overturned.
