Alabama Open Letters

Jackson Hospital

I’m calling about Jackson Hospital in Montgomery, which says it will announce its closure on June 25 without a deal with Blue Cross. That’s 1,800 jobs and an 80-year-old hospital the River Region depends on. The Governor has pledged $40 million but says she’ll defer to the two sides. With eight days

NO to KOSA

I urge you to oppose any version of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) or similar legislation that would require consenting adults to provide government-issued identification or undergo age verification to access lawful online content. While protecting children is an important objective, forcing adul

Dear Representative, As a constituent, I’m concerned about the Social Security funding shortfall. The 2026 Trustees Report shows the OASI trust fund is now projected to be depleted by late 2032, leaving millions of seniors at risk of sharp benefit cuts. I strongly support the Bipartisan Social Secur

Stop the Edgewater HOA Goose Cull at Lady Ann Lake

Please intervene to stop the planned mass killing of 226 Canada geese at Lady Ann Lake in Madison's Edgewater neighborhood. The HOA has hired a USDA subcontractor to gas the birds with carbon monoxide — a method board member Jack Hollum, who voted against the cull, described as "agonizing," since ge

Pass the War Powers Resolution

The House passed a bipartisan war powers resolution last week to end the unauthorized war with Iran, 215 to 208. The resolution now needs a final Senate vote. This war was never approved by Congress, it has cost at least $29 billion, and Alabamians are paying $4.53 a gallon because of Iran's blockad

From a constituent in Birmingham, AL

Congress, please support the Medicare and Social Security Fair Share Act. It closes the Social Security shortfall by making millionaires and billionaires pay the same payroll tax rate on their income over four hundred thousand dollars that the rest of us already pay on every dollar we earn. No benef

From a constituent in Birmingham, AL

Dear Congress, Social Security is projected to be fully solvent only until 2032. Without action, 63 million Americans — mostly seniors — face an automatic 23% benefit cut. A simple fix exists: remove the payroll tax cap so high earners pay the same rate on all their income as everyone else. This sin

From a constituent in Birmingham, AL

Reform the H-1B visa program. It must stop taking jobs from qualified Americans. Require companies to prove they cannot find U.S. workers first, then only approve truly elite talent. Significantly raise the fees so only serious, high-value applications get through. Make getting an H-1B much harder a

From a constituent in Birmingham, AL

Protect Social Security now. Every senior I know is counting on it. The trust fund is heading for a 20% benefit cut in about 10 years. Fix this by raising the payroll tax cap on high earners. Seniors built this country — we deserve to retire with dignity. Please support legislation to fully fund Soc

From a constituent in Birmingham, AL

Dear Congressman, I’m writing to express deep concern about the government’s excessive spending on non-essential programs. Every dollar spent on unnecessary initiatives is a dollar taken from hardworking Americans, including our seniors. Instead of diverting funds that could strengthen Social Securi

From a constituent in Birmingham, AL

Dear Members of Congress, As a concerned American, I urge you to act now to protect Social Security. Millions of seniors and working families depend on these benefits they have paid into their entire lives. Please pass legislation that shores up the Social Security Trust Fund so that full benefits c

Modify or reject the reconciliation bill

I urge you in the strongest terms to reject the upcoming budget reconciliation bill until it is modified regarding the $70 Billion for ICE and Border Patrol. As written, this bill does nothing to rein in agencies that are out of control. The detainee abuses seen at Delaney Hall are simply the ones

Invoke the War Powers Act

I urge you in the strongest terms to invoke the War Powers Act with regard to current hostilities with Iran. The executive department's claims that a ceasefire stops the clock on the War Powers Act are increasingly irrelevant, regardless of whether they are valid (I believe not). A blockade is an a

Oppose the OMB's proposed Uniform Grants Regulation, published 5/29/26

I'm writing to urge you to publicly oppose the OMB's proposed Uniform Grants Regulation, published May 29, docket OMB-2026-0034.   This rule would require political appointees — not scientists — to approve every federal research grant, and would let agencies cancel active grants at any time for poli

Just in case you need to know... I learned most of this in 4th grade Sex Ed class. I lived in a different state, 50 years ago. Our state does not provide sex ed. I did check dates to be accurate. I am not a doctor and not giving medical advise. It takes about a week from fertilization to blast

Town Halls Are Part of Your Job

You must schedule town halls… your constituents want and deserve answers. A number of concerning issues are currently worthy of direct discussion with our representatives/Senators: 👉🏻The use of taxpayer money for Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund and White House ballroom 👉🏻The ongoing unauthorized

Memorial Day 2026. Our president stood up and talked about himself. Instead of displaying compassion, reverence or empathy to the families of fallen soldiers, he want on his typical rant. The president of our country needs to show respect for fallen soldiers. You know those soldiers died to pro
