I am writing to urge your support for the Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act, a bipartisan bill introduced to modernize the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Oppose ATF's Discriminatory Birth Sex Requirement on Form 4473

I'm writing to demand you oppose the ATF's proposed rule requiring gun buyers to list their birth sex on Form 4473. This policy serves no purpose except to harass and target transgender people.

Oppose H.R. 2616 (Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act) I am a voting constituent writing to express my firm opposition to H.R. 2616. This legislation represents an overreach of federal authority into a domain that must remain a local and community-led decision: the education of our chi

Donald J. Trump is mentally, physically, morally, and criminally unfit to be President of the United States of America. He is a liability to Americans, our United States, our allies, and the world. Induce him to resign or remove him.

No On Section 702 Reauthorization

Vote no on reauthorizing section 702 without reform. It is un-American for the government to secretly spy on its citizens without a warrant. Do not allow any administration to go after political opponents by spying on their private lives.

No clean re-authorization of FISA

Speak Up Against Anti-Trans Legislation

Protect Public Education!

I oppose the Heritage Foundation’s push for legislation to undermine the 44-year-old Plyler v.
