No on HB 500

I am writing to voice my opposition to HB500. My husband and I are both retired high school teachers. We already pay a significant amount for our health insurance.

Vote NO on the SAVE Act

I am writing to you today to ask you to vote NO on the SAVE Act. The SAVE Act will set up unnecessary hurdles to voting, especially for any woman who changed her name after marriage. The documents required to prove citizenship are not free and, for many, will take time away from work to retrieve. Th

Oppose Devastating Health Care Cuts in HB 500

I am writing to urge you to reject the devastating health care cuts proposed in HB 500 as it moves through the Appropriations and Revenue Committee.

From a constituent in Bowling Green, KY

Vote NO on HB 500!

Please vote no on HB 500! This will be devastating to our schols. New teachers and staff do not make enough money to suddenly have to pay this much more in health care premiums. They will quit and leave our schools without staff to educate our students. You claim to be pro life yet? Then vote like y

Please support efforts to make ICE agents follow the same rules and procedures that other law enforcement agencies adhere to including visible identification, body cameras, uncovered faces and use of judicial warrants.

Vote NO on SAVE Act

Please vote NO on the SAVE Act. It will disenfranchise eligible US citizens. It's a bad bill.

From a constituent in Bowling Green, KY

Revise the Proposed Budget

The proposed budget has devastating consequences for school staff if passed. You cannot push healthcare coverage costs onto educators and staff who are a lready some of the lowest paid in the country. Please consider revising this before you push more new teachers out of the profession because they

Reject HB 500 5% cap on employer contribution to health insurance

I am writing to you as a deeply concerned citizen. The General Assembly’s proposed budget (House Bill 500) would be devastating to so many Kentucky families.

Oppose the SAVE Act to Protect Voting Rights for Married Women

I urge you to vote against the SAVE Act (HB22), which would require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections.

SAVE Doesn’t Save Us

I write to you this evening to discourage you from voting for the SAVE Act. It is not that I don’t support voter ID, I do. I work for a County Clerk’s Office in KY and we handle all elections so I know how important this is. The problem with the SAVE Act is that the Real ID that have been pushed for

From a constituent in Harrodsburg, KY

No on SAVE act

Dear Sirs, Please do not vote to pass the SAVE act. In passing this you’ll disenfranchise married women. And others. If you truly believe in free and fair elections then vote no.

From a verified voter in Elizabethtown, KY

I write again to ask you to vote NO on the SAVE Act. Everyone believes in safe elections, however a glib response that ignores the suppression of married women's vote is callous. The requirement that current id match birth name is the height of male privelege. The patriarchal custom of taking the

Mass Detention of Residents is Wrong.

Stop DHS indefinitely detaining - without bond - millions of non-citizens who have been here for generations; who have never committed a crime; and who pose neither a risk of flight nor any threat to public safety. The Fifth Circuit’s opinion, written by two of the most reactionary, right-wing fed

Oppose Federal Takeover of State Election Administration

I am writing to urge you to oppose any effort to federalize or nationalize the administration of elections in our state. President Trump recently called on Republicans to "take over" and "nationalize" voting in "at least many, 15 places," claiming that certain states are "so crooked" in how they cou

Now that negotiations on the DHS bill are beginning in earnest I want to say, again, that ICE is a lawless, brutal, racist agency that needs to be abolished.

Abolish ICE

I'm writing to tell you how disappointed I am. This isn't something I take lightly either. We've been championing your causes for years now and then you betray us.
