Illinois Open Letters

Vote NO on CLARITY Act

I’m alarmed that Trump is using cryptocurrency to let billionaires, big tech, and foreign governments bribe him personally. Democrats should not be considering or supporting any crypto bills that wouldn’t do anything to stop Trump’s crypto corruption. I’m asking you to OPPOSE the CLARITY Act when it

I encourage you to support Rep. Thomas Massie’s amendment to H.R. 8595. Our laws already say we should not fund governments perpetuating a genocide, let alone an apartheid state. That money should be used for domestic concerns.

Illinois needs to pass a bill to permanently remove DST. Fall back then remove it. What the House in D.C. did was not the right move. Children and early employees now would be forced to go to school and work in the dark. And I hate trying to go bad with the sun still up.

From a constituent in Chicago Heights, IL

Please do NOT let the “sunshine protection act” pass the senate. It is the wrong move. Because it would mean children and employees having to go to work IN THE DARK! Standard time is the real time. DST is NOT the real time. Plus, allowing the possibility of different states to do different things is
