Illinois Open Letters
From a verified voter in Chicago, ILDo they matter?
Dear [Elected Official’s Name], I write to you today with a heavy heart regarding the tragic loss of innocent lives in Gaza, exemplified by the heartbreaking images of two boys crushed under the rubble of a residential block bombed by Israel in Rafah. Just hours before they were murdered by Israel
From a constituent in Chicago, ILI am your constituent and I am fed up with “facility fees” added to medical bills. Even if the process were transparent, we have to pay them anyway to get to our doctor or have our outpatient procedures/tests performed. Some companies even add them on to tele-health phone calls. This is another w
From a constituent in Chicago, ILAmerica must support our closest ally countries unconditionally!
I’m a constituent from Chicago and longtime supporter of the Democratic Party, but the gradual abandonment of Israel during their existential war against Hamas is appalling. Every day I read about more blood libels being repeated by President Biden or his administration. As universities across the c
From a constituent in Chicago, ILI understand that Republicans in Congress have just rolled out a new proposal that cuts a full one-sixth of the budget for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This, at the same time that the H5N1 “bird flu” is ripping across America, decimating bird flocks and even infecting a few
From a constituent in Winfield, ILRespect student speech, avoid heavy-handed campus crackdowns
The recent surge in arrests and use of force against student protesters at universities across the nation is deeply concerning. While colleges have a responsibility to maintain safety on campus, responding to peaceful demonstrations with police violence and mass arrests undermines fundamental princi
From a constituent in Chicago, ILWhat a sad day, watching way too many democrats work with republicans to curtail free speech. Not only watching the curbing of our first amendment rights, but the energy put in to this bill could’ve gone in to something useful…healthcare, food security, rights of First Nations people, etc. But no, d
From a constituent in Chicago, ILYour work and votes criminalizing the protests on College campuses is a disgrace. Your devotion to exploding brown people into submission and then to make sure that any criticism of that is criminal is one of the most outrageous genocidal actions I've ever seen in my life. Voting for the Antisemitis
From a verified voter in Skokie, ILIn a time when the public scrutiny of elections is higher than ever, elections offices require your support to meet the needs of the voters in their communities. They need consistent, adequate funding to meet the full need of elections offices across the country. To that end, I am writing to ask th
From a constituent in Chicago, ILAM Radio for Every Vehicle Act
I’m writing about the importance of preserving AM radio stations for dependable news, traffic, sports, weather and vital emergency updates. Unlike satellite radio or streaming, local broadcast radio is always available with no cellular data, subscription or signal required. Despite this, some auto
From a constituent in Scott Air Force Base, ILInvasion of Rafah
Palestinian civilians in Gaza deserve to LIVE. Please act NOW to stop the Israeli invasion of Rafah.
From a constituent in Chicago, ILAs of yesterday, 4/27, another grim milestone is passed in Israel's genocide - every single person in Gaza has no clean water. This includes all hospitals, all refugee encampments - everyone everywhere is now exposed to the already rapidly spreading water-borne illnesses. Cholera and other diseases
From a constituent in Chicago Heights, ILI’m a long Covid patient. I’ve had a lot of fatigue, brain fog, fainting, gastroparesis, jittery nerves, & couldn’t read books for 3yrs. I was recently evaluated @ Northwestern long Covid neurology clinic. During this appt, they discovered I had some cognitive decline & prescribed an old antiviral

From a constituent in Chicago, ILDo ANYTHING
Ceasefire now! Stop supporting genocide. I will not be voting in the 2024 election and will participate in any protest actions outside the DNC in 2024 until such time that Joe Biden and the US Government stop supporting genocide. Stop letting the future generations literally and metaphorically burn
From a constituent in Chicago, IL26 billions more dollars given to a terrorist state. No strings attached. While millions of Americans are struggling. I am a former teacher. I was disabled on the job. I had to resign from my dream position - teaching 8th grade social studies and science. I loved my job so much. It wasn’t without it
From a constituent in Chicago, IL“Is this the democracy we are supposed to be protecting?” This a comment on a video of police violence on peaceful protesters. A perfect question to ask as we watch students and professors brutalized for asking that their places of education do not profit off of genocide. There are no more univers
From a constituent in Chicago, ILNORTHWESTERN STUDENT PROTECTION
As an Illinois resident I am appalled to hear that Northwestern University is threatening to arrest peaceful protestors on campus. The student’s free speech must be protected, and it is shameful that the university is still investing in Israel despite Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians. As
From a constituent in Oak Park, ILYes to the Healthcare Protection Act
Please vote yes to The Healthcare Protection Act (HPA), and please work towards universal healthcare in Illinois. HPA is a good step, but the work is not nearly done. We cannot continue to allow insurance companies to make obscene profits by denying people healthcare.
From a constituent in Chicago, ILIt has become very clear since the start of Israel’s genocide that your votes belong solely to your donors, and in the past few weeks as you have voted to diminish First and Fourth Amendment rights, it has become even clearer that your goal is to stay in power and not to actually govern. I have wr
From a constituent in Palatine, ILCUT TIES WITH ISRAEL, CALL FOR A CEASEFIRE
the Zionist genocide against the people of Gaza is entering its 7th month with complacency and participation from nearly member of the international community. the US is responsible for the deaths of thousands by sending arms to Israel. this is a call for every public official in the US to campaign
From a constituent in Burr Ridge, ILRequest for Further Investigation into TikTok Ban Implications
The recent bipartisan bill passed by Congress, which threatens to ban TikTok due to concerns over its Chinese ownership and potential national security risks, raises significant concerns. This legislation, which gives ByteDance nine months to sell the app or face a nationwide ban, could have profoun
From a constituent in Peoria, ILThis is NOT the way to address the TikTok issue.
Hello! Distrust of our government is boiling over and allowing the cramming in of the TikTok bill to the Ukraine aid bill is a slap in the face to the millions of Americans earning income either through the app or as a result of the app. This is going to actively hurt American families and Ti
From a constituent in Carbondale, ILTikTok Ban
I do not support the TikTok ban. The corporate money given to congress and senate is the real reason that the ban is moving forward. This is a first amendment issue. No other social media app is being targeted like this. Please be transparent about the monies received from lobbyist group who are ant
From a constituent in Chicago, ILI strongly oppose the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, it targets one social media company over others that have the exact same issues. A better way to safeguard our data would be to create comprehensive consumer-privacy laws that would require apps like TikTo
From a constituent in Chicago, ILHow do you continue to fund a terrorist state?!? Israel is a terrorist state. It funds settler terrorists and their violence. They massacre children. They actively work to make sure innocent people and babies do not have food, water, and medical supplies. They murder journalists. They murder doctors
