Children Are Dying. Hold Trump and Kennedy Accountable

Two children are dead from a disease we eliminated 25 years ago. As your constituent, I am outraged — and I am watching what you do next. The United States ended 2025 with 2,144 confirmed measles cases, the most since 1991. We are already at 1,575 cases in 2026, and the year is barely three months o

Articles 3 and 25 of the Constitution exist for a reason. It is past time to use them.

Please oppose the SAVE act. It will disenfranchise millions of eligible voters, including women who have changed their names due to marriage. It creates an undue burden to bring multiple sensitive documents to polling places with no clear purpose. Our elections already have several layers of secur

Don’t give ICE DMV data!

Please stop giving ICE access to my personal data! ICE is accessing citizens' DMV data via the Nlets network, then using that data to track and intimidate Americans who peacefully protest ICE's activities. This is a clear violation of First Amendment rights! I urge you to immediately cut off ICE's

2023, the Iowa legislature removed funding from the statewide water quality monitoring network. As a result Iowans lost access to data from 60 sensors statewide. This is a direct threat to water quality which will impact Iowans' health and safety. Please restore this oversight.

INVESTIGATE THE TRUMP FAMILY UNDER RICO — NOW

So now Trump is threatening to have the military commit war crimes against Iran, exactly the kind of illegal order the Democrat senators were warning against. When are you going to grow spines and rein him in?

Facebook is discouraging get out the vote information. It’s wrong.

I am a citizen of Des Moines, Iowa. Last week I tried to share information about voter registration content on Facebook. It was blocked. No explanation. No appeal. Just gone — as if helping a fellow American learn how to vote is something that needs to be silenced. I am not alone. This is happening

For once, Senator, we agree on something! I agree with your statement that spending $200 billion dollars for the Iran war is a “no brainer”. The only people who think spending this much money is a good idea must have no brains! We need to stop this illegal war!

I am your constituent. I pay taxes. I vote. And I have one question I need you to answer directly — before you leave office in January: Is there anything Donald Trump can do — any law he can break, any child he can harm, any war he can start — that would finally compel you to act? Because here is

Support our libraries. Stop H-8260

The H-8260 amendment is dangerous. It strips local library boards of their authority and replaces them with city council members that have neither the time nor experience to take on those duties. It removes accreditation standards from the American Library Association and Iowa Library Association. W

I am writing to ask a simple but urgent question: where has your commitment to fiscal conservatism gone?

When the President Declares War on His Own People

This past weekend the President of the United States posted on Truth Social that the Democratic Party is — in his own words — the greatest enemy America has. Not a foreign adversary. Not a terrorist organization. The party of roughly half of all American voters. My neighbors. My family. Possibly you

The federal government should not decide what our kids are allowed to read. Oppose the Federal Book Ban bill! It uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books. That is federal control over ideas.

President Trump recently said he might drop more bombs on Iran “just for fun.” Confess has failed to stop — or even try to stop — his illegal acts of war. There is no other choice but to impeach.

I’m writing to urge the you to vote NO on FISA until Congress CLOSES the data broker loophole for no-warrant surveillance. If Congress extends FISA without changes, the government will be able to ignore the Fourth Amendment and seize our data without a warrant. I don’t want the FBI using AI to spy o
