Support the Good Samaritan Remediation of Abandoned Hardrock Mines Act

I urge your support for the bipartisan Good Samaritan Remediation of Abandoned Hardrock Mines Act of 2024 (S.2781/H.R.7779).

Please follow procedural norms and vet Executive candidates properly.

As public servants entrusted with upholding democratic norms, we must prioritize following the established constitutional process for presidential appointments rather than circumventing it through recess appointments. History has shown the potential for abuse when presidents bypass Senate advice and

I’m writing to ask the Representative to urge President Biden to publish the Equal Rights Amendment before leaving office. The ERA would enshrine gender equality in our Constitution and has met the ratification requirements to become the 28th Amendment. It needs to be published now. Thanks!

NO on S.5384- we need the Dept of ED

Bill S.5384 is a huge mistake. The Department of Education means equity for all, throughout the nation, regardless of background or economic differences. To remove the possibility of some American students having a quality education is bad for ALL Americans. Please vote against this bill.

From a verified voter in LA Porte, IN

I’m deeply concerned at Trump’s decision to fire Christopher Wray and replace him with Kash Patel as the director of the FBI. It’s profoundly dangerous—not just because Patel is unqualified and has suggested he’d like to dismantle large parts of the agency, but because firing a Senate-confirmed FBI

Block Kash Patel's nomination as FBI director

The potential nomination of Kash Patel as FBI director raises serious concerns about his qualifications and impartiality.

Withholding funding to manipulate decisions is unethical bullying.

I have absolute disgust with Micah Beckwith threatening to withhold funding from Westfield Schools unless he’s allowed to speak. Is this how schools should be funded?

The proposed bill to abolish the Department of Education raises significant concerns for the future of our nation's education system.
