Defend Federal Art Against Trump Authoritarian Plunder The systematic purge of federally commissioned artwork from public spaces—exemplified by the removal of Kehinde Wiley’s piece from the U.S. Embassy under the guise of purging "woke" content—demands your immediate action. Labeling art as "wok

Defend Our Public Schools: Opt Michigan Out of Federal Vouchers I urge you to protect Michigan’s public education by opting our state out of the federal voucher program tucked into the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. For 30 years, Michigan has served as a test case for educational privatization

It's another day, and NSPM-7 is still a dangerous threat to US citizens and visitors to the US, whether they are foreign students, workers, or just traveling. It's not just unconstitutional, it is anti-constitutional. It runs counter to everything we have been taught in history, government and socia

Overturn Citizens United and Ban Coerced Political Funding

I am writing as your constituent to demand an immediate legislative overhaul of federal campaign finance and corporate lobbying laws.

Congress -- investigate this corruptiion.

I'm alarmed by a report that days after GEO signed an $85 million-a-year ICE contract one of their subsidiaries donated $1 million to MAGA Inc. They then donated another $413,000 two days after signing an $80 million-a-year contract for another facility. Federal contracting is supposed to run on nee

Why is the president sabotaging the US food supply? We are already facing a wave of serious food borne illnesses and subsequent recalls, now he wants to exercise power he doesn't have to eliminate food inspections and regulations? Are you sick of being made fools of? Are you sick of the legislature

End Grand Rapids' Flock Camera Program Before ICE Gets the Data

Grand Rapids needs to cancel its contract with Flock Safety and remove all 31 city-owned cameras. The city has admitted that Flock data is shared with federal agencies but refuses to name which ones. That is not transparency — that is a cover-up, and residents deserve better. The ACLU of Michigan h

Trade war on Canada is trade war on Michigan. Trump is not only punishing Canada for his demented misunderstanding of diplomacy, he's doing massive harm to your constituents as well. Canada is our close economic partner and ally. Michiganders do not support this mindless destruction and escalation.

Defund the Defense Meme Corps: Remove Pete Hegseth Immediately Congress' silence makes it complicit in a dangerous, embarrassing farce at the Department of Defense.

RFK Jr. must go

We now know that RFK Jr. lied during his congressional hearings last year. He told lawmakers who held the key to his confirmation that a 2019 visit to Samoa had “nothing to do with vaccines.” Newly obtained documents prove conclusively that this is false. RFK Jr. has been an absolute disaster for pu

It Will ALWAYS Be Lake Ontario I am a voting constituent writing to express my disgust over the executive order directing federal agencies to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America." At a time when American families are bracing for economic fallout and rising prices from escalating trade wars, our e

Protect Educators' Right to Teach Complete, Honest History

Take action to protect and expand educators' ability to teach complete, accurate history in our schools. Students who graduate with only a partial version of history are unprepared to understand the world, engage across difference, or recognize the systems that shape their lives. That's not educatio

Lake Ontario is Lake Ontario. As a Michigander, I am disgusted and embarrassed by Trump's ignorant assertion that he can change the names of bodies of water we don't even own. He is clearly riddled with dementia and bouncing off whatever nonsense issue comes to mind. Impeach and remove this aggressi

Trump has no business collecting or policing voter rolls. This is not within the role of the president. Why is he so obsessed with collecting and selling our sensitive private information to private, and possibly foreign, interests? Why is he so obsessed with changing the rules of elections and dism

I'd rather see the Kennedy Center demolished that Trump extort our nation any more. We are not a country that names institutions after living presidents.

Passing off FDA food inspections to states will harm Americans. Americans in states with less regulatory infrastructure and will to enforce food safety will live in a different America than those who live in states with robust oversight. It is chilling and infuriating to see the federal government c
