Hawaii Open Letters

Resist DOGE!

DOGE is now in control of the Department of Interior, including personnel and budget. I just read Heather Cox Richardson’s Earth Day newsletter. I am appalled to learn that on April 17 Secretary Burgum ceded oversight of the Department to Tyler Hassan, CEO of a Houston based energy company. He was

Fight the Trump Administration's Defiance of the Constitution and Courts

I’m writing to demand that you take tangible action to stop the Trump administration from defying federal court orders, including Supreme Court orders, and hold the administration accountable for their blatant disregard for the rule of law.

Donald Trump Impeachment Letter

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the ongoing actions of former President Donald J. Trump during his second term in office. I urge you to take immediate and decisive steps to initiate impeachment proceedings due to what I believe to be egregious violations of the Constitution and a b

Kennedy unfit for HHS; resign over anti-vaccine misinformation

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has proven himself unfit to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). His stance on vaccines and promotion of harmful misinformation directly endangers public health and undermines the crucial mission of the agency. The recent measles outbreak has resulted in multi

Support for IRS Direct File program

I am writing to express my strong support for the IRS Direct File program and to urge you to advocate for its continuation and expansion. This free, government-run tax filing service has proven to be an invaluable resource, especially for low- and moderate-income Americans. While some opponents cla

SAVE act - vote NO

The SAVE Act's requirements for proving citizenship to register to vote could disproportionately impact millions of married women who have changed their last names after marriage. Their birth certificates would no longer match their current legal names, creating unnecessary obstacles. Many may not h

Defend Our Constitution – Demand Immediate Action Now

Dear Members of Congress, I write to you not as a partisan, but as an American deeply alarmed by the lawlessness now unfolding under the Trump administration. This is not about politics—it’s about whether the Constitution still means anything. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Kilmar Abrego

Oppose the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) - A Voter Suppression Bill

I'm writing to demand that you oppose H.R. 22, the SAVE Act, which will create unnecessary barriers to voter registration and disenfranchise countless voters, especially women, seniors, and low-income citizens. This bill is designed to block voters despite no real evidence of widespread fraud. You m

Demand the Unfreezing of FEMA Funds and Restore BRIC

I'm writing to urge you to take immediate steps to ensure that FEMA funds previously appropriated by Congress are disbursed to all states without delay and that the BRIC program is fully reinstated. It is unacceptable that funds for at least 19 states have been withheld since early February, despite

Protect Worker Safety by Reversing NIOSH Cuts

I'm calling to demand that you oppose Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s near-elimination of NIOSH. NIOSH's work protects American workers from deaths, injuries, and illnesses. You must stand up for the safety and wellness of our essential workers, including miners, firefighters, industrial workers, and health

Bring Abrego Garcia Home

I’m writing to urge you to forcefully speak out against Trump’s unconstitutional plan to send US citizens, which he calls "homegrown criminals," to a gulag in El Salvador. I also ask that you demand the administration bring back Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If they succeed in trafficking an innocent man l

From a verified voter in Honolulu, HI4/12

How could you support the SAVE act? Why would you entertain supporting the Republican agenda over an non-existent issue. We know that this bill would limit the ability for people to vote, we know that it's already illegal for non-citizens to vote, and we know that there is no evidence of widespread

Vote NO on the SAVE Act!

I’m writing to implore you to vote against the SAVE Act. It is nothing more than a voter suppression bill. It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote and this bill will just make it much more difficult for citizens to vote. In particular, it will disenfranchise women who changed their names due t

Reject Voter Suppression Bill, Uphold Right to Vote

The proposed SAVE Act would create an unnecessary barrier to voter registration by mandating documentation of citizenship, despite existing legal requirements for voters to affirm their eligibility. This redundant measure disproportionately impacts communities of color who face greater difficulty ac

Follow Senator Booker’s Lead and Make a Stand for Democracy

I am writing to tell you how moved I was by Senator Booker’s speech. He has displayed the courage, tenacity, and leadership I want to see from all my Democratic representatives. Our democracy is in a moment of crisis, and we need to do everything we can to hold onto it. This is not business as usua

From a constituent in Kapaa, HI4/2

I am so proud of Senator Booker and what he did yesterday and today. Please continue this type of activity. The more coverage we can get about how Trump's policies negatively affect the people in this country, it might get through to at least a handful of his loyalists. Keep fighting, keep talking

Hegseth Must Resign!

Pete Hegseth put the US military and ALL Americans at risk using Signal for what should be secure messaging. He MUST resign and the others in the chat must be, at minimum, disciplined for breaking the law regarding the saving of government documents. Please do not let the Trump Administration distra
