Stop the Stop Insider Trading Act (this version)

I'm writing to urge you to oppose House-passed H.R. 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act. This bill is a weak attempt at banning congressional stock trading and includes restrictive voter ID language aimed at suppressing our voting rights.

Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act

I urge you to sign on to the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act from Senator Sanders and Rep. Casar. We need to pause advanced AI until it's safe, before it costs people their jobs, raises our bills, or gets even more out of control. This is really important to me. Thanks.

You must investigate the Trump Account scam. This is so obviously a front for corruption and the Treasury has no business involving children without their parents' consent. Trump is running amok with our money to enrich himself, his family, and his oligarch cronies around the world. Impeach and remo

Support Michigan's Transgender Community and Stand with Trans

Michigan's transgender community needs your visible, vocal support right now. With 835 anti-trans bills introduced across 43 states in 2026 — including 32 right here in Michigan — the legislative assault on trans people is not abstract. It is relentless, and it is local. I want you to publicly stand

Ban Directed Energy Weapons and Stop Domestic Military Tech Creep

I am contacting you to demand immediate legislative action to completely ban the use of Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs) and high-powered microwave technologies against civilian populations, both domestically and internationally. Defense initiatives like Project Meridian are fast-tracking autonomous A

From a constituent in Rockford, MI

HELL NO to MUSK on Defense Task Force Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has inappropriately appointed Elon Musk to co-lead "Project Meridian," the Pentagon’s new 120-day task force on the future of warfare. This appointment represents an unacceptable conflict of interest that fundamentally conflicts w

Stop U.S. Sponsorship of Anti-LGBTQ UN Core Group

The Trump administration needs to stop using American diplomatic power to export anti-LGBTQ discrimination onto the world stage. Current and former officials from the State Department and HHS are actively backing a new "Pro-Life, Pro-Family Core Group" at the United Nations — a body explicitly desig

From a verified voter in Hillsdale, MI

Once again I am inquiring about NSPM-7, and your lack of any response is concerning. It's a complete violation of the Constitution. You swore an oath numerous times to protect and defend the US Constitution, from enemies both foreign and domestic. Protesters and dissenters are not terrorists These p

End US Support of Israel's Genocide against Palestinians

Benjamin Netanyahu's undiplomatic address to the United Nations last week underscores his stubborn refusal to acknowledge, much less desist from, his government's ongoing genocide against Palestinians. The unremitting slaughter of Palestinian individuals and effort to erdicate the Palestinian popula

Hegseth can't make our military his private club. Elon Musk and Newt Gingrich have zero military experience. Why are we involving these LARPers while actively purging veteran officers. This is a perversion of our military, making it a set of toy soldiers for rich fascists. Impeach and remove Hegseth

Elon midterm coup

What in Gods name is going on? Elon Musk leading the military? A trillionaire pedophile nazi saluting ketamine clown? 30 days prior to an election, guess what’s coming? A midterm Jan 6 coup where Trump takes complete power. It’s alarming how you have normalized fascism by being complicit in this ins

ICE is brutally assaulting children in public again. What could possibly justify slamming a girl to the ground and kneeling on her neck? These people are sadists on a free for all. Defund ICE. Rescind all funds. End this reign of terror and violence.

From a constituent in Lansing, MI

Hold Trump accountable for violating labor laws. Time and again the execute branch wastes tax dollars and talent, violating existing union contracts with the obvious intention of making federal employees so miserable, afraid, and financial insecure they will quit. These are purges by another name an

Stop Weaponizing Title VII and Title IX for Corporate Greed and Legal Subversion

I am your constituent, and I am writing to demand that you fiercely defend our civil rights under Title VII and Title IX against the coordinated rollbacks pushed by dark-money think tanks like the Heritage Foundation. We must call this rhetoric what it truly is: a calculated attempt to use social en

Protect True Freedom of Choice for Women under Title VII and Title IX

I am your constituent, and I am writing to urge you to forcefully protect women’s fundamental right to self-determination in education, the workplace, and the home. Recent efforts by political think tanks and federal agencies threaten to roll back decades of civil rights progress by narrowing the sc

Stop Using Transgender People as a Political Distraction

Vilifying trans people will not fix any of the problems we face as a country. Stand against anti-transgender legislation and refuse to let this community be used as a political prop. A new survey from The 19th and YouGov finds that 45% of Americans now oppose bans on gender-affirming care for trans

Stand With Trans Americans — No More Wavering on Equality

You cannot be anti-trans and pro-equality. HRC President Kelley Robinson said it plainly at the National Dinner, and she's right. If you support LGBTQ+ rights, then stand with the full community — that means opposing the transgender military ban, restoring HIV funding, and bringing back qualified LG

Oppose the Administration's Attempt to Strip Medical Care from Trans Prisoners

The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to let the Bureau of Prisons strip hormone therapy from transgender prisoners who have been prescribed it by their own prison doctors. You need to speak out against this now, before the Court acts on the emergency application in Trump v. Kingdom.

Support Senator Van Hollen’s West Bank resolution

I know the Senate is voting as soon as today on Senator Van Hollen’s Privileged Resolution under Section 502B to force the State Department to produce an unclassified report on human rights compliance in the West Bank. I want the Senator to support it. Thanks!

Block Saudi weapons

I urge the Senator to take immediate action to block $5 billion in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia. Now, with multiple wars deepening across the Middle East, more weapons are not the answer.

Social Media Free Speech

Facebook should not be allowed to control free speech for American citizens. And 80million users mean it is NOT a private business. The only reason not to strip them of their section 230 rights is because people in power dont like to give up power. No one should have the power to remove content. I

Is the 20% reduction in flag officers/generals just cover for ideological purge? What does it say that the DOD leadership, SecDef, and POTUS have such open contempt for commissioned officers who have served their entire careers? Why would it ever be a good idea to reduce experienced leadership in th

Trump's illegal $5000 bribes are tax dollars, not "profits." This man is trying to buy our loyalty with bribes and propaganda we paid for. This is undeniably, shamelessly illegal. The American people don't want a $5000 bribe. We want a stable economy, positive world standing, national unity, and an

ICE is still committing crimes. Just because they're hiding them from the media more effectively doesn't mean we forgot. I certainly didn't forget that ICE put a US citizen on his knees, disarmed him, and then shot him execution style at point blank range in the street. I didn't forget they murdered

Israel is committing genocide. We have all seen the satellite images of the near total destruction of Gaza. This is not war, it's is annihilation. It is ethnic cleansing. It is clearing the land for Israeli resorts using bombs and drones. This kind of total warfare serves only one purpose: eliminati
