North Carolina Open Letters

From a verified voter in Mooresville, NC3:48 AM

My family holds you and the rest of the weak congressional Republicans personally responsible for the huge hit our 401(k) accounts took this week. You are weakly standing by and letting this grifter Trump intentionally tank the US and world economies with his huge and unnecessary tariffs. You know w

I'm shocked and appalled that you are not outraged by the tariffs and dismantling of our government. Please act now to save our country.

Protect Medicaid! Please vote in favor of the proposed amendment to the Senate Budget Resolution proposed by Sen. Josh Hawley & Sen. Ron Wyden. The $880 billion dollars this amendment would restore to Medicaid will save so many lives!

From a constituent in Waynesville, NC12:45 AM

Stop the Criminal Takeover of Our Government

I’m fed up. This administration has crossed every line, and the seizure of the U.S. Institute of Peace is just the latest criminal act. DOGE stormed a Congressionally established institution, kicked out its leadership, and claimed its $500 million headquarters like we’re living under some lawless di

The GOP owns every bit of this. Every bit.

Have you seen the stock market? Listened to the federal reserve? Checked your retirement? Stop wreaking international financial devastation. I am your constituent, and I live in rural North Carolina. People here are already poor enough. We can’t sustain the price hikes that are now coming.

From a constituent in Charlotte, NC4/4

enator Thom Tillis (R-NC) expressed frustration with the way power has been shifted to the executive branch by the GOP-led House. “We’ve made a mistake,” he said. “Congress has given too much power to the president. We need more control over decisions like this.” The only mistake is that weak, sniv

Vote no on SAVE

Please vote no on the SAVE act as it is written. I am 75 and a registered voter. I am also on continuous oxygen and am unable to stand and manage oxygen tanks to wait in line to vote. I understand that SAVE is requiring in-person voting. I am also not clear if I would be required to register again

From a verified voter in Cary, NC4/4

You are representing me. I’m writing to let you know that I am upset about many things in our government right now. I’m embarrassed by our government’s actions. Yesterday and today were bad days in the stock market where well over 2 Trillion dollars was removed. Why? Tariffs. Uncertainty. Hard work

Limit the President's tariff power now

Thank you for taking the time to read my fax. I must implore you to fight the President and the chaos he is enacting on the economy. I have personally lost over $20,000 dollars in the last two days. Most of this is supposed to be for my retirement. By enacting these tariffs, the President is forfe

Enact complete ban on child marriage in North Carolina

Child marriage is a serious human rights violation that robs children of their childhood and denies them access to education and opportunities for personal growth and development. It perpetuates cycles of poverty, domestic violence, and poor health outcomes. We must take urgent action to protect all

Your mistake is believing that Hegseth “made a mistake”

I am responding to your reply to my recent email over my outrage that Secretary of Defense Hegseth used Signal to plan a military operation. In it you wrote, “I firmly believe that the reported event was a mistake.” A mistake, Senator Budd, is something that happens ONCE and without premeditatio

Trump's unforced economic errors are sinking us

Hey y'all, the Dow is still dropping like a rock, dropping like America's fading relevance, dropping like my hopes of ever being able to afford a house, dropping like the rule of law in this country. Are we great yet? It does not feel great.

Follow-Up on Tariffs and Their Harm to American Families

Dear Senator Budd, Thank you for your response. However, your reply did not address the specific economic harms tariffs are inflicting on American workers, businesses, and families like mine. While you assert that tariffs support U.S. manufacturing, the reality is they are increasing costs, elimina

Stop the madness

I hope you are happy that you have allowed Trump to turn Biden’s soft landing into a crash landing that is going to leave bits of the American economy scattered across the landscape as smoldering wreckage. Trump has forced the American public to pay at a minimum of 10% tithe to the altar of stupid

Congress Must Act to Stop Trump’s Catastrophic Tariffs and Economic Sabotage

I am writing to express my deep concern over former President Trump’s reckless tariffs, which are already devastating the U.S. economy, undermining global trade stability, and concentrating dangerous levels of power in his hands. Congress must act immediately to stop this economic crisis from escala

No Tariffs on Russia?!?

No tariffs on Russia??? This is looking more and more like the destruction of the United States by a Russian asset. Stop the madness before it is too late!!! Stop Donald Trump!!!

Stop the SAVE Act! This act, regardless of its intent, is so poorly conceived and written that it will result in the majority of women voters being prevented from voting. Women are citizens of the United States and, as such, have the right to vote as guaranteed by the 19th Amendment. Please vote

Congress must rein in unilateral tariff escalation, economic overreach

I am deeply concerned by the administration's sweeping application of tariffs through this executive order. These unilateral trade actions threaten to drive up costs significantly for American families and businesses, while inviting retaliation that could undermine U.S. economic strength. Rather tha

Please Stop the Stupid Tariffs

So pleased to see that absolutely everything is about to get significantly more expensive due to the stupidest trade war in history because nobody wants to tell the problematic grandpa who somehow is a personality cult despite having the world's worst personality that he shouldn't crash the global e
