Daylight Savings Time

Daylight Savings Time is not what we should be switching to. We should be switching to standard time. This is what most scientists support.

Ban data centers

Unchecked data center growth is making electricity costs skyrocket, straining the grid, and polluting our air. MD State Senator Lewis Young aims to introduce a statewide data center moratorium for the MD General Assembly Special Session on August 3-5. Ask State Senate President Bill Ferguson to prio

I strongly oppose H.R. 1181 – the Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act. This bill prohibits credit card companies from assigning a specific merchant category code to gun retailers, overriding state laws in several states that require such coding. This will not make us safer. Vote no. It is probably

Pass the Sunshine Protection Act

Please pass the Sunshine Protection Act. I don’t care whether we stay in daylight time or standard time, as long as we stay. I am so tired of switching time zones once a year. It is disruptive to my routine, my mental health, and my family.

Close the regulatory gap for commercial orbital illumination systems

I am writing to urge Congress to address a significant gap in federal oversight of novel commercial space activities, particularly satellites designed to reflect sunlight back toward Earth at night. Current agencies regulate only parts of these missions. The FCC regulates communications and spectru

Taxpayer Dollars. Missing Body Cameras. Dead Americans. Where Is the Accountability? As your constituent, I am demanding immediate congressional oversight and accountability regarding the escalating use of force by federal immigration agents and the continued failure to deploy body-worn cameras de

Please oppose any effort to roll back the health protections in the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Current proposals being pushed by the chemical industry would dramatically weaken our nation’s chemical safety law—making it easier for dangerous chemicals to enter the market and harder for EPA

From a verified voter in Joppa, MD

As your constituent, I implore you to vote NO on the NDAA until the merger with Israel (section 219) is taken out. This section amounts to treasonous betrayal of our sovereignty. We should never be supporting let alone even considering mergers like this with foreign nations and especially with genoc

From a constituent in Forest Hill, MD

I am writing to urge you to reduce the military budget and advocate for an end to ongoing foreign military conflicts. Our current reliance on fossil fuels heavily drives these military operations. I believe these resources would be better utilized if redirected toward domestic priorities, such as h

Make ballot seizure before counting a felony

As we know, Trump's attacks on upcoming elections are incessant. From his tantrum about the SAVE act to illegally seizing Fulton ballots to trying to obtain state electoral roles, to attempting to interfere with postal ballots, the effort is ongoing, malign, and seemingly incorrigible. These attem

Demand Action Regarding Detention of Rep. Ro Khanna by Israeli Forces

I am writing today with deep concern regarding the recent detention of U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna in the West Bank. According to reports, Rep. Khanna and his team were detained by armed Israeli settlers and subsequently held by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) for over an hour while visiting a Pales

NO TO CLARITY

I am 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

Trump putting up fencing around the White House and ranting all night is another sign of his paranoia and dementia. When will Congress do its duty and get rid of him?! I’m sick of this do nothing Congress! We need term limits and age limits for Congress and the President! Enough of this! Do your j

EAC & ICE murders

First, I’m alarmed that Trump just ousted all three sitting members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. This is unacceptable.

Lorenzo Araujo & Iran War & SAVE America Act

First, I’m furious about ICE’s killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston, TX. They are saying that he “rammed them with their car,” even though there is no evidence of that. They have lied about circumstances like this repeatedly. There is no reason to believe them this time. There is also no rea

The US Constitution is clear and we demand that they invoke Rule IX which allows any member to force a vote for impeachment on the House floor even without the approval of House leaders. Rule IX is powerfully disruptive by design. It requires a vote within two (2) business days. Impeach. Remove. Con

At a press op with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy, Trump made up a new president of Ukraine (or was it just Freudian), mixing Zelenskyy up with Putin. He tried to make a recovery by pretending he meant to do that, but he was pointing right at Zelenskyy. He also overthrew Japa

Defend Free Speech: Stop Federal Targeting of ICE Critics

The federal government is sending officers to the doors of people who criticize ICE online. That is not law enforcement — that is intimidation. David Streever is the second New York resident reported to have received a federal warning tied to his online speech about ICE. This needs to stop, and I ne
