Oppose the Parents Decide Act

Oppose the Parents Decide Act This bill is actually designed to secretly monitor people and create databases that can be used to persecute political enemies. This violates or right to privacy and actually does not protect children on the internet at all. We need to stop allowing big tech access to

Remove him already, He isn’t in charge

It is being rumored all over social media and no one is able to confirm whether or not Donald Trump attempted to access the nuclear codes on Saturday April 18. Aides reported having to remove him and lock the door while the generals were trying to rescue a soldier. Is any of this true? Is it also tr

Oppose Age Verification Legislation

I am writing to voice my opposition to HR 8250 and all similar bills that would introduce age verification legislation. These legislative pieces often voice a desire to "protect children" from online content. I have never yet read a bill that actually does so, and every such bill I have seen has eff

Oppose H.R.8250 - Parents Decide Act

I am strongly requesting you oppose H.R.8250 - Parents Decide Act. I don’t even understand how it’s “parents decide” when this bill wants to force operating system providers to verify the age of any user of an operating system, and for other purposes. That’s not letting parents decide. That’s for

Oppose Age Verification Mandates for Internet Access

I'm writing to urge you to oppose the App Store Accountability Act, the Parents Decide Act, and any other legislation that mandates age verification on internet platforms. Current age verification methods are unreliable and threaten our privacy, and they let predatory tech platforms off the hook wit

Oppose H.R. 8250: Parents Decide Act

Hello! I am writing to express strong opposition to H.R. 8250: Parents Decide Act. My specific concerns are in sections 2(a)(1)(B) and 2(a)(3). Every time an entity wants to strip privacy rights, they use either children's well-being or national security. This is no different . This bill does not do

GROSS TOLL ROAD EXPENSES

I hold in my hand and invoice for unpaid tolls worth over $34. I have an iPass account. However, this invoice is noticeably different in one way; it is much much more expensive. I certainly cannot afford this right now. The endless construction added on top of this is an insult to me as a human bein

Remove this administration

Market manipulation needs to stop! Every weekend for the past approximately 6 weeks DJT manipulated the markets to fill his cult cabinet members and Congressional bootlickers pockets. It’s time to remove them all! Article II Section IV today!

Looks like Democrats are once again doing their best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, to support predatory capitalism, fascism, and destruction of the whole goddamn planet at behest of Democratic “consultants.” From the Financial Times: "Democrats planning to run in November’s midterm el

Democracy is dying, and you are silent.

How convenient that Congress keeps passing legislation detrimental to the American people, with the support of -just enough- “democrats” to make it happen. Are you all really so compromised? Are you so incapable of maintaining party policy? Are you so out of touch that you don’t notice all of the

Data centers bad for all

You are going to lose a majority of your voters as you keep on pushing data centers. There have been so many town halls where the communities are 100% against having these data centers built near them. Illinois residents do not want our lands being taken over by data centers. Especially surveillance

No FISA reauthorization or Reconciliation bill w/ ICE & war funds; support S4278

Please oppose a clean reauthorization of Section 702 of FISA. Section 702’s numerous loopholes allow for unwarranted government surveillance and can be easily manipulated at the expense of Americans’ civil liberties. I don't want the government reading my private emails, texts, etc. Vote no unle

Oppose Reconciliation bill with ICE, CBP, & war funding; support S. 4115 & S4278

I heard that Congress is going to put together a new reconciliation bill. It will include more funding for ICE, CBP, and Trump’s illegal war in Iran. I am totally AGAINST funding any of this and hope you are too. What's worse, the funding for ICE; CBP, and the war would be paid for by even more

Dear Senator, I am writing to urge you to vote in favor of the legislation led by Bernie Sanders that would block the transfer of approximately $150 million in 1,000-pound bombs and $300 million in bulldozers currently proposed for delivery to Israel under the administration of Donald Trump.

25th Amendment..... I hope this gets through both the House and the Senate. We need to move forward in this country and start digging ourselves out of the hole that the Trump administration has gotten us into.

NO on FISA & Russian oil waiver, pass DROP, Impeach Trump

I am emailing on several issues. First, there are no excuses for any Member of Congress to support a clean reauthorization of Section 702 and I demand that you vote No on any bills that would reauthorize Section 702 of FISA without meaningful reform. I expect you to to take my privacy seriously

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I cannot think of a strong enough descriptor for how offended, and astonished, and shocked, and completely furious I am at everything that the president posted online last night between 10 PM and 6 AM this morning. Especially his cartoon of himself as Jes

Nuclear Weapons

Nuclear Weapon facilities have been being targeted in the war in the Middle East. The question heavily weighing on the minds of most Americans. Why is there a double standard when it comes to having, creating, capabilities or just having enriched uranium? There was no international intelligence
