H.R. 22 SAVE Act

H.R. 22 SAVE Act is extremely harmful voter suppression in many forms. This will disenfranchise married women and/or ANYONE who has changed their name fo r ANY reason. It will also negatively hurt our military members, natural disaster survivors, rural voters, working class voters, voters of color a

Congress must reassert Constitutional authority over tariffs, prevent abuse

The Constitution vests Congress with the power to regulate foreign commerce and implement tariffs. Over time, Congress has gradually ceded this authority to the executive branch through various laws. The president is now using an expansive interpretation of laws like the International Emergency Econ

I just read your misleading letter, and poll, entitled Fighting for America’s Female Athletes. I’m wondering whether you truly believe the rhetoric you share (and if you do, you should spend more time listening to transgender people,) or are you just pandering to the far right Christian Nationalist

Restore Social Security Applications over the phone

I am deeply concerned about the Social Security Administration’s new policy, effective April 14, which eliminates phone applications for retirement and survivor benefits. This change will force millions of Americans—especially seniors, people with disabilities, and bereaved families—to travel long d

Insider trading represents a severe breach of public trust and undermines the integrity of our financial markets. Recent revelations that billionaires close to the President profited immensely from advance knowledge of policy decisions raise significant ethical concerns. We must have full transparen

Vote against H. Con Res 14 & vote NO on the procedural Rule to protect tariffs.

I’m writing to urge the Representative to vote against H. Con. Res. 14, the Senate's amendment to the budget resolution that will slash funds for Medicare and Medicaid to finance tax breaks for the wealthy. I also ask that Rep. Simpson vote No on the the procedural Rule that will sneakily protect th

Check Trump's tariff power or be primaried

How do you think I can afford these tariffs? We're looking at the barrel of double price on all Chinese imports! My message to you is simple: remove Trump or be removed come midterms. Tariffs are your responsibility that you gave to the president! Congress is responsible for them, so I'm holding you

Support the Trade Review Act and Oppose the current Budget Resolution

First, I know that Congressman Bacon is introducing a companion bill to the Senate’s Trade Review Act, a bipartisan bill to make tariffs imposed by Trump — or any future president — disappear after 60 days if not approved by Congress. I expect the Congressmember to co-sponsor it and do whatever it t

Fight the destructive tariffs and I’m sickened by the Budget Resolution passed.

First, I am distressed about the state of the economy and Trump’s stupid, destructive tariffs. I want the Senator to co-sponsor and actively work to pass S 1272, the Trade Review Act. This would take control of tariffs back from Trump and give it to Congress, which is where it belongs. We need to st

Vocally oppose the cuts to the Dept of Health & Human service

I am writing because I want the Congressmember to vocally oppose the recent cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services. These cuts endanger everything from infectious disease control and cancer research to essential programs like Head Start and Meals on Wheels. I also want the Congressmembe

Someone has to stop this lunatic that’s in the White House before he burns the entire world economy to the ground. I’ve got one question. If not you, then who?

Reassert congressional authority over trade, end unlawful tariffs

The recent tariffs imposed by the president under the guise of a national economic emergency are a blatant abuse of power and an unconstitutional overreach. Congress must act swiftly to reclaim its authority over trade policy by passing bipartisan legislation like the Trade Review Act of 2025. These

Stop the assault on our legal system!

I oppose efforts to delegitimize court orders, threaten judges, and erode constitutional safeguards. These things fundamentally threaten American democracy. The fact that Republican congressmembers are now attempting to codify these authoritarian power grabs disgusts me. I want you to vote NO on the

Defend public lands from privatization, preserve national heritage

The sale of public lands represents a concerning trend that threatens to diminish access to outdoor recreation and conservation efforts. As a citizen who values these natural spaces, I urge you to oppose any proposals that would privatize or transfer ownership of public lands currently managed by th

Stand up against Trump and his toxic tariffs!

I urge you to stand up against Trump's reckless policies. The events surrounding "Liberation Day," now more accurately called "Ruination Day," highlight the profound economic damage caused by Trump’s outrageous approach. The sober editors of The Economist have rightly criticized his actions as "the

Restore library funding, ensure access to knowledge for all

Libraries are essential community hubs that provide invaluable resources and services, particularly in underserved and rural areas. The abrupt termination of federal grants from the Institute of Museum and Library Services will have severe consequences, decimating library budgets and forcing the dis

You've murdered women in your Healthcare laws. Women who have non viable pregnancies are forced to carry corpses of their infants and die or face felony charges. You've stripped education, reduced homeless shelters, disregarded victims of rape. I hope you get exactly what you deserve. If there's a

Oppose S.J. Res 18 and preserve the CFPB Rule for your working constituents.

Oppose the Senate-passed S.J. Res. 18 which would overturn the CFPB rule limiting overdraft fees to five dollars. Your constituents need the CFPB rule! Too many families are paycheck to paycheck and sometimes don’t fully have enough and end up overdrawing. The banks shouldn’t be allowed to take e

Oppose H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act, and any other attempt to rewrite the federal court system. The way our Government should work is checks and balances. One branch can not have full control without any checks and balances. Without judicial oversight and congressional oversight we end up

Oppose H.R. 22, the SAVE Act when it comes up for a vote.

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.
