California Open Letters

From a constituent in Granada Hills, CA

The "press release" announcing the shuttering of the National Forest Service is another illegal act by the Executive Branch. It was created by an Act of Congress, and should not be modified by an ignorant Executive branch. The motto of the Forestry Service is to "manage resources and serve the PEOPL

Reasserting Congressional War Powers Regarding Iran

I am writing as a concerned constituent to urge you to immediately reassert the constitutional authority of Congress regarding the administration’s military excursions into Iran.

Oppose Healthcare Cuts for Iran War Funding, Restore IRS Enforcement Instead

Vote against any healthcare cuts to fund the $200 billion request for military operations with Israel against Iran. This war has no clear purpose or goal, and stripping 300,000 more Americans of health insurance to pay for it is unconscionable. House Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington's prop

From a constituent in Merced, CA

Vote against using budget reconciliation to fund military operations in Iran, ICE, and CBP. Americans are struggling with skyrocketing healthcare, food, and fuel prices. We need relief, not more cuts to safety net programs. Budget reconciliation requires new spending to be offset by equivalent cuts

I urge the repeal of A.B. 1043. The responsibility for safeguarding children from objectionable content must lie primarily with the children's parents and secondarily from the purveyors of that content. The ill-advised law shifts the responsibility from both of those parties and requires invasive m

Investigate Hegseth's Interference in Army Pilot Suspension

The Senate Armed Services Committee must immediately investigate Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to lift the suspension of four Army crewmembers who conducted an unauthorized flyby of Kid Rock's Nashville home. This represents a dangerous breach of military discipline and oversight. The A

I heard some interesting information today about Trump’s DOJ. It is about 5,000 people short of the normal staffing. There are several reasons: (in no particular order) 1. Firing of attorneys and staff who had worked on cases involving Trump in the prior administration, 2. Resignations of ethical a

Support AB-2319 to Protect California Post-Production Jobs

I'm asking you to support AB-2319 and vote yes when it comes before the Arts Committee. This bill would create a tax incentive to keep post-production work in California, where it belongs.

Stop the “Reorganization” of the US Forest Service

I am concerned about the “reorganization” of the US Forest Service. This is NOT a reorganization — it’s the destruction of a federal agency by executive fiat and Congress must intervene.

War crimes? Not in our name. Not with our tax dollars. Congress needs to step up and stop enabling war crimes. Hegseth has given orders for war crimes and committed war crimes. His "no quarter" order is just one example. The strike against the school in Iran, the two tap hits on small ships in t

Birthright Citizenship

I believe in birthright citizenship. But as with all laws, including especially in context immigration law, there are abusers. I suggest illegal immigrants cannot have legal existence in the US, and therefore their babies are not 'in the US'. And that pregnant foreigners can be forbid entrance, den

I ask that you block any attempt by the administration to deploy ICE agents to airports to handle security. These agents are not trained in airport security and will do nothing but cause chaos.

I urge you to immediately pass the Senate-approved funding bill for TSA, FEMA and all other DHS agencies that are not ICE and Border Patrol. These agencies should not be held hostage and used for political games while Congress negotiates changes for ICE and Border Patrol.

Block ICE Access to California DMV Database and Face Recognition

For the love of God, stop him. Impeach him if it's possible but make this stop. Stop him. Every single day we slide further into chaos. Stop him. Stop reacting to what he does; focus. He must be deposed. You have to do something to remove him from office. We can worry about everything else after. S
