Illinois Open Letters

From a verified voter in Alsip, IL

Schumer and Jeffries Must Go. No more mamby pamby crap. We gave you all a mandate. Both of those men have let us down every time. It is time to take this country back. Pass single bill laws. Investigate and prosecute all of the corruption. Enough is enough

From a constituent in Aurora, IL

PROSECUTE, UNIONS, MEDICARE

PROSECUTE the people who broke the law in the last administration. STAND WITH UNIONS and go after monopolies and billionaires like you mean it. Get money out of politics, put money back in working people’s pockets, and pass MEDICARE FOR ALL. And please, for the love of God, don’t sit on this goodwil

Why Abdul is hotter than you

Abdul El-Sayed ran on three things: get money out of politics, put money in our pockets, and pass Medicare for All. That's what we want. Ban corporate PACs, kill Citizens United however you have to, and stop taking checks from the people you’re supposed to regulate. Raise wages, cut costs, and make

No to Schumer as Majority Speaker

We do not want Schumer as our Majority Speaker. We want someone that will hold the current administration accountable, prioritize lower cost of living and push forward more progressive policies.

From a constituent in Aurora, IL

Stand UP

Voters just gave you a MANDATE. People who’d given up on politics came back and took a chance on you. Please, I am begging you, do not waste it. We’ve seen this movie before. Democrats win, they get cautious, they spend two years “building consensus” with people who want them dead politically, they

Be a Working Class Hero

Are you on our side? That means unions, it means bringing back Lina Khan, and going after monopolies like you mean it. It means fighting billionaires openly. These people have bought our housing, our groceries, our healthcare, and our news, and they’re working on our elections. They aren’t job creat

No to Jeffries as House Speaker

We do not want Jeffries as the Majority House Speaker. We want someone that will ensure that the current administration is held accountable, while also prioritizing cost of living and progressive policies.

FRY THE MOTHERFUCKERS

PROSECUTE THEM! Every single person in the Trump administration who broke the law, from the top down, needs to face REAL consequences. Not just a strongly worded report, not a hearing. Indictments. We spent four years being told that “no one is above the law,” and then we watched people stroll right

chuck chuck

The working class needs new leadership. It is time for Chuck Schumer to step aside and new leadership to pursue democratic socialist policies. Working families deserve bold economic justice—Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, universal public housing, and strong union rights. Real progress means put

New Senate Leadership

As one of your constituents who supported you in past elections, I am writing with an important request. Please choose new and effective leadership for the US Senate. Chuck Schumer no longer represents what Democrats want for our country. The huge majority of people who carried this election to vic

From a constituent in Skokie, IL

Please support the removal from leadership, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies. They have proven time and again that they can not and will not meet the movement we have started. From strongly worded letters when our healthcare was at stake, to secret negotiations with Jared Kushner, Schumer and Jeff

From a constituent in Braidwood, IL

We, the people have spoken. Let's be sure you understand the message. This is not a, "If they go low, we go high." moment. We want those who broke the laws of our country to have to be held accountable, so that this never happens again. Of course we want you to represent us, to repair the damage and

From a verified voter in Geneva, IL

NO AIPAC recipients for House and Senate leadership!! No Schumer and Jeffries! Please listen to those who showed up for the Blue Tsunami. Now is not the time for moderate, measured response. Now is the time for justice for Renee Good and Alex Pretti and all if the undocumented immigrants who were

House and Senate Leadership

I am writing to urge your leadership in both the House and the Senate to look towards new leadership in both chambers. The midterm election results should signal clearly that we, the people, want a new direction for our politics and for the leadership of the party. I do not endorse putting Chuck S

From a verified voter in Deer Park, IL

I did NOT donate and vote for the Democrats only to hear the guy who thinks he deserves to be the Speaker of the House tell me that I’m not interested in holding Trump and his cronies accountable. Beyond that, I very little faith that the present leaders done all that much to aide the candidates th

Back to Work Now.

The work starts today. It should have started decades ago, but here we are. I don't care if you are retiring or returning, you owe your livelihoods and futures to the American people, and you owe them your efforts now. You must immediately start repairing the damage that has been done to our democra

ICE (and DHS) must be abolished, not reformed.

From a verified voter in Dekalb, IL

The House Judiciary Dems social media account just posted, “It’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.” Absolutely NOT. Abolish ICE. Fire them all. Prosecute their crimes. You can’t reform a gang of

New Speaker

I am writing to urge you to support new leadership. I do not support Hakeem Jeffries; he does not represent the future or the priorities that everyday Americans are fighting for. We need leaders who actively stand up for our values, deliver real results for our future, and take immediate, bold actio

From a verified voter in Chicago, IL

Support New Democratic Leadership in the Senate

Support new Democratic leadership in the Senate. The current leadership has failed to deliver results that matter to constituents like me, and a fresh direction is long overdue. There are senators like AOC who have spent the past two years standing up against fascism, and that is exactly the kind o

From a verified voter in Dekalb, IL

If this historic shift of power to the Democrats isn’t wielded firmly, all our elections efforts will have been for nothing. There MUST be accountability and consequences for the criminal actions committed by the Trump administration. We want robust investigations, energetic prosecutions, the abolis

Vote No on Jeffries for Speaker

I voted Tuesday because I wanted change, and the country delivered a Democratic House and Senate. I am asking you not to hand this new majority back to the same leadership. Please do not vote for Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker, in the caucus or on the floor. For two years, Leader Jeffries has managed

From a constituent in Addison, IL

Voters Asked for a Fight. Schumer Isn’t It.

I voted Tuesday because I wanted change, and the country delivered. Democrats flipped Senate seats in Kansas, Iowa, Texas, Ohio, Maine, and both Carolinas. Voters did not do that to restore the status quo. They did it to demand a Senate that fights. That is why I am asking you to vote against Chuck

From a verified voter in Rock Island, IL

The people came out and voted in masses for a complete overhaul of policy. This is the biggest midterm flip in 1974. Given the amounts of massive disinformation in today’s media landscape, that makes this an even bigger vote for change than 1974. This is a clear mandate. This is a clear vote agains

From a constituent in Chicago, IL

Say NO to Jeffries and Schumer Leadership

I am writing to urge you to oppose keeping Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as House Majority Leader and Sen. Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader. Both have demonstrated a consistent record of supporting policies that harm working people, expand military spending, and advance corporate interests over publi
