Minnesota Open Letters

From a verified voter in Princeton, MN

I’m writing to ask why you chose not to vote in favor of ending the ongoing U.S. military conflict with Iran — a conflict many of us here in Minnesota view as both unpopular and legally questionable. From my perspective, Congress has a responsibility to assert its constitutional role in authorizing

From a constituent in Saint Paul, MN

The Senator's remarks on the "legacy" of Lindsey Graham is the last straw for me, a lifelong reliable Dem voter. I will not support or vote for Amy Klobuchar for any office, and she should resign so an actual progressive can take the lead. Her support for conservatives (both R and D) is pathetic.

From a constituent in Owatonna, MN

I urge you to push back against Trump's order to shrink Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in Utah. Trump does not have the legal authority to modify these monuments, and Congress must now take action to preserve and protect them from mining, drilling, and destructive corpor

No to NDA due to Section 219

Do not approve the National Defense Authorization Act due to Section 219 permanently integrating the US and IDF military suppy chains and integrations. Do NOT tie us to Israel.

Americans Deserve Clarity on Senator McConnell’s Ability to Serve

I am writing as one of your constituents to urge you to press for transparency regarding Senator Mitch McConnell’s condition and status. Given the importance of his role in Congress, the American people deserve clear, factual information about whether he is able to carry out the duties of his office

Oppose U.S. Assistance for Saudi Arabia’s Nuclear Program

Dear Representative, I am writing to urge you to oppose any U.S. effort to assist Saudi Arabia in developing a civilian nuclear program unless it includes the strongest possible safeguards and congressional oversight. While Saudi Arabia is an important strategic partner, nuclear technology carries

Headstart transportation budget cut, why?

I am saddened to see parents freaking out on social media because transportation has been cut from headstart budgets. Please tell me how this parents ar e supposed to work and transport children to and from part day programs? Mr. Stauber, you assured me headstart would get fully funded. What happ

Honor your oath to the Constitution. End your complicity in the crimes of this regime by forcing a vote on articles of impeachment now!

Public land is sacred land! Please protect our wild spaces.

Choose standard time instead of daylight savings

dst Thank you for your continued leadership in these dark times. I’m writing today in opposition to permanent daylight savings. I would, however, support permanent standard time. Daylight savings shifts light exposure later in the day, increasing the risk of accidents and the disease burden. As you

Do not authorize funding for military aid to Israel’s disgusting genocide.

National Monument Reduction

Congress needs to act and exercise their responsibilities regarding public land. No one sitting president should be able to erase public lands unilaterally. Congress needs to push back on the over reach and work on behalf of public land owners.

Pass Plug-In Solar Legislation Next Session

Pass plug-in solar legislation next session so that renters, condo owners, and homeowners with aging roofs can finally access solar energy. A full rooftop installation runs $20,000 to $30,000 — and that's before factoring in whether your roof can even support panels. Plug-in solar systems cost $1,00

The must demand not only proof of life but proof of cognitive ability from Mitch McConnell. This is ridiculous!

From a constituent in Minneapolis, MN

Accountability For Disappearing Congress Members

We have government officials not reporting for work. First, Tom Kean went AWOL for 117 days with no indication of what happened. Now, Mitch McConnell has disappeared for weeks and we are getting conflicting descriptions of his condition. At a salary over $175k per year and over $75 daily meal allo

Strategic Petroleum Reserve

I'm writing about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. GAO report GAO-26-106918 (released June 26, 2026) found the SPR's operational capability is at risk from aging infrastructure, and confirmed Congress still hasn't set a target reserve size — something GAO first recommended in 2018 (GAO-18-477). Plea

Businesses Should Pay Their Own Operating Costs

I am writing as one of your constituents to ask you to reconsider the way taxpayer dollars are used to subsidize private businesses, particularly those with high electricity and water demands. I believe in supporting economic development when it creates clear public benefits. However, I do not beli

Taxpayers Shouldn't Pay Corporate Utility Bills

As a Minnesota resident, I appreciate the importance of attracting new businesses and creating jobs. At the same time, I believe we must be responsible stewards of taxpayer money. I am concerned whenever state programs subsidize the utility costs or operating expenses of private businesses, especia

Reject the KIDS Act

This bill is not about kids safety. It is another erosion of privacy and worse wrapped under the guide of "think of the children". While supporters insist the bill does not require age verification and have included language saying so, multiple parts of the package impose obligations that depend on

Vote NO on KIDS Act

I am writing as your constituent to ask you to please vote against the KIDS Act. The package of cobbled-together bills is a mess, with different age-gating schemes for different services, using different standards. It’s a lot of complexity, and a lot of legal risk. Faced with that, many companies wi

Oppose H.R. 7757: KIDS Act

Hello! I am writing to oppose H.R. 7757: KIDS Act. Every time someone tries to restrict privacy, they use kids or national security to do so. This is a blatant attempt to expose journalists, whistleblowers, and, quite frankly, anyone who thinks large companies cannot be trusted. Please let this bill

From a verified voter in Minneapolis, MN

A United Nations Commission of Inquiry finds that the State of Israel is targeting children in Gaza as part of its genocidal campaign. This is unacceptable and impossible to justify. The United States is deeply complicit. We continue to support Israel with weapons, funds, weapons, and intelligence.

Stop Data Centers from coming to MN

Please do whatever you can to halt the progress of Data Centers in Minnesota. While they may be offering sweet deals, these are big tech companies who have a history of being in it only for themselves, if not right away, eventually. As a 52-year old born, raised, and living in Minnesota I am very co

What are you doing to stop the genocide and destruction in Gaza? Israel are committing war crimes every single day and we’re doing nothing to stop them. Free Palestine
