Michigan Open Letters

From a constituent in Fruitport, MI

I think it is fantastic that the Democrats triumphed in the 2026 midterm election. As we move forward, I think it's important that we understand that this is a new era that requires new leadership. Voters didn't turn out because of Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer. The Democratic caucus is filled wi

Remove Schumer and Jeffries as Majority Leaders

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries do not represent the people nor the party we have just elevated to power. They have done nothing and will do nothing to hold the appropriate people accountable, status quo is not accepted. As your constituent I request that you do everything in your power to remove

Reject Jeffries and Schumer, Deliver the Change Voters Demanded

Break from the status quo and govern the way you campaigned. Voters did not send you to office to maintain the same old arrangements that have failed them. The mandate was clear: change. Reject the leadership of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. They represent exactly the entrenched, establishment

Repeal the Sodomy Law

Repeal the sodomy law still on the books in this state. Though the Supreme Court struck down such laws in Lawrence v. Texas in 2003, leaving this statute in place sends a clear message to LGBTQ+ residents that their lives and relationships are not fully recognized by their own government. Dead lette

New Progressive Leadership for the House of Representatives

I am writing to urge you to support new, progressive leadership in Congress. I do not support Hakeem Jeffries or Chuck Schumer continuing in their leadership positions. Democrats need leaders who will aggressively defend our rights, fight for working-class Americans, reject corporate influence, and

Money is the cancer, are you infected?

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer will always do what the lobbyist’s tell them, they will never understand true integrity. These people look out for themselves and for the corporations that fill their pockets. Never again will I support hypocrisy, never again will I give money/my vote/my endorsement

End the war with Iran

I urge you to enforce the War Powers Resolution and vote against any funding for Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran. The financial and human tolls continue to rise and Congress must do everything in its power to end this illegal war.

Don't waste the Blue Tsunami -- we need new leadership!

I understand Democrats will soon be holding leadership elections. I want to make clear that I have no faith in Chuck Schumer / Hakeem Jeffries to do the job we need. There is so much talent in this caucus, and so many lawmakers who have shown they know how to fight, to message effectively, and to in

Jeffries must not remain Speaker

America has spoken. Not only are we tired of Trump's incompetence and greed, we are also tired of establishment, so-called moderate democrats.

Restore federal income tax brackets to 1968 levels so we can pay for the restoration of our government programs, fund the VA, child and elder care, and address the deficit and our depleted military after Trump ran it into the ground.

Defend Transgender People Without Fear

Stand with transgender people. The 2026 midterms delivered a clear verdict: anti-transgender politics is a losing strategy, and defending trans people costs nothing politically.

Tired of Trump's Iran BS. How many times is he going to tell us we need another operation to wipe out imaginary nuclear weapons capacity he claimed to have also wiped out in the first attack on Iran? Where is congress? Stop this warmongering, destructive, contrived and COSTLY stupidity.
