Protect the Constitution and the Amendment Process

am writing to you because I am concerned about the growing trend of trying to reinterpret or work around parts of the Constitution instead of following the constitutional amendment process. Regardless of political party or specific policy issue, the Constitution is supposed to be stable and difficul

Pass a No-ICE-at-the-Polls Law NOW

Free and fair elections require more than good intentions. They require clear rules, credible enforcement, and the political courage to stop intimidation before it happens. Federal law already prohibits troops and armed federal personnel from interfering at polling places or intimidating voters. Bu

Add privacy protections to Section 702

Congress will soon need to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Now is a good time to update it and add common sense privacy protections. I urge you to include more protections when reauthorizing this law.

Don't fund and stop Iran war

I am writing to thank you for supporting the recent War Powers Act Resolution to rein in Trump's reckless, illegal, and unjustified war on Iran that a majority of Americans reject.

Pass the social security guarantee act now Social security is not actually guaranteed in the writing of the constitution and congress has been raiding the ssdi account for years.

No More Money to ICE!

I'm writing to urge you to reject the terrible DHS funding "deal" struck between Trump and Republicans.

No money for ICE

PLEASE! do not accept any deal that gives ICE and Border Patrol more money to terrorize our communities, or fails to implement serious reforms. Our democracy depends on all of us, but those in office have a special responsibility.

From a constituent in Buzzards Bay, MA

We must beat Republicans at their own game of controlling the media. It means pressuring the networks directly. It means holding hearings — even if they have to be unofficial “shadow” hearings — right now about media consolidation and the capture of the press corps by rightwing interests. It means p

Stop Holding Airport Security Hostage to Pass Voter Restrictions

Congress must act immediately to end the Department of Homeland Security funding crisis and restore pay to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers.

First, Senator Murphy is introducing another war powers resolution in the Senate tonight. I expect both Senators to vote yes.

No Secret Police, ICE Mask Ban Now

Every day in America, armed gangs of masked thugs snatch people off the streets and force them into unmarked cars. And witnesses can’t tell if they should call the police or if that was the police.

Although I assume none of you will vote for the $200 billion supplemental funding request for the war in Iran, I urge you to insist your fellow Democrats deny that finding as well.
