Michigan Open Letters

From a constituent in Hancock, MI

I am concerned at a humanitarian level about possible war crimes or murders at sea related to Operation Southern Spear. I am also deeply alarmed by what appears to be an escalating drum beat for a war with Venezuela. This may serve the interests of oil companies. It does not serve the interests of n

I am writing to urge you to investigate and take action against multiple state governments that are systematically collecting lists of transgender residents through various government mechanisms. This coordinated effort across Republican-controlled states represents a serious breach of privacy and c

Impeach Pete Hegseth. It is not ok for the White House or the Dept. of Defense to summarily execute people without a trail or a declaration of war by Congress. It does not matter whether the boats they have bombed are carrying drugs, these are still civilians who are being murdered by our military.

Democrats are weak cowards, GOP are fascists. USA loses.

Trump is a child rapist. Trump is a 34x felon coward. Trump is a fascist scumbag. Trump represents the worst human beings on the planet. Trump is a traitor, a Putin puppet and deserves the penalty for treason. Trump is a pathetic racist bigot with no sense morality or decency. You Democrats allowed

You can’t protect democracy, resign so someone else will.

Trump the pedophile fascist 34x felon has finally sunk to the lowest level I’d ever expect… to trash a beloved couple that was brutally murdered. The damage this POS is doing to our country is beyond comprehension. WHY are you doing nothing? WHY are you continuing to act like this is normal? WHY are

Stop KOSA, preserve free speech.

The S. 1748 Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) poses a grave threat to free speech online by imposing overly broad and vague obligations on internet platforms. Its "duty of care" provisions compelling platforms to mitigate loosely defined "harms" to minors are ripe for abuse by government actors seeking

Protect State-Level AI Regulation

Oppose any legislative provision that blocks state-level regulation of AI. Congress should be working to protect our safety and privacy from the unknown risks of AI, not prioritizing the self-serving needs of big tech corporations and billionaire CEOs. Thank you for your time and consideration.
