No fusion between the Israeli and US military.

We do NOT want our military to fuse in any way with Israel's military. And we do not want to send billions of dollars to support Israel. They have free health care, education, housing while our children and seniors go without any. Staunch Democrat here but I will not vote for any candidate in any ra

I urge Gov. Walz to speak out against the ongoing police repression of civilian peaceful protests in Newark New Jersey, and call out the New Jersey Governor for enabling this violent suppression.

Thank you for your response regarding H.R. 4180, Canyon’s Law. I want to be direct: your reply restated agency talking points but did not answer the core question — whether you support banning M‑44 cyanide devices from public lands.

However, your summary of the situation leaves several critical issues unaddressed, and I want to clarify why many of us remain deeply concerned.

I am writing as a constituent to express my strong opposition to H.R. 7695. This bill would nullify the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule and prohibit the USDA from issuing any substantially similar protections in the future. It would also mandate new road construction across National Forest Syst

Allow emotional support animals in HUD.

Today, the evil news that emotional support animals will be banned from HUD housing about made me cry. I grew up in the Vietnam era, so many of my peers are Vietnam veterans.

Vote no on HR 2616

I am asking you to please vote no on H.R. 2616, the "Stopping Indoctrination and Protecting Kids Act.” This bill will not protect kids, it will violate their privacy and civil liberties and put the most vulnerable children at risk in unsafe and abusive homes. No child should be forced to come out to

Reconsider Minnesota’s new EV registration surcharge

I’m writing as a constituent and an EV owner. Our household drives a 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E and a 2026 Rivian R1T.

Protect voting and PSLF; oppose ICE funding
