Stop the Policies Crushing American Families

To: Rep. Walberg, Sen. Slotkin, Sen. Peters

From: A verified voter in Stevensville, MI

September 23

End the wars, end the tariffs on allies, and stop funneling American resources toward genocide. These aren't abstract policy debates — they are costing families at the grocery store, at the gas pump, and at the kitchen table. Gas is now $4.48 a gallon nationally, up from $3.19 a year ago, driven in part by this administration's war on Iran disrupting global oil markets. Diesel has hit $6.50, making everything shipped by truck more expensive. Sixty-four percent of six-figure earners say $100,000 is no longer a milestone — it's barely enough to stay afloat. This is what reckless foreign policy and economic nationalism produce. Middle-income Americans are shopping at dollar stores. People earning $200,000 are using buy-now-pay-later plans for purchases under $100. One strategist has argued the real poverty line should be $140,000. These aren't statistics to file away — they are your constituents telling you something has gone badly wrong. I need you to use every tool available to push back on these wars, oppose tariffs that punish our allies, and cut off any support — military, financial, or diplomatic — to governments committing genocide.
