stop use of alien enemies act

I am writing you to voice my concern with the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport legal citizens and law abiding immigrants. This law was last used to intern 31,000 noncitizens of Japanese, German, and Italian descent during World War II, without due process and based mainly on their ancestry. Th

Nebraskans spoke out today. Are you listening?

Today, Nebraskans protested. They protested Trump, they protested DOGE, they protested Musk, and they protested the illegal, illogical, and illicit things that you’ve helped to happen. Innocent people are being shipped out “by mistake" without due process and no hope of return. Our federal agenc

Support the NEH and stop DOGE’s Illegal Actions

As a constituent, I am writing to urgently request that you support the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) in the face of a direct attack by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE is rescinding grants that have already been awarded, including operating support grants for the s

Stand Up Against These Disastrous Tariffs—Before It’s Too Late

I am writing to you today as a deeply concerned constituent. The extreme tariffs being proposed—and in some cases already enacted—are a catastrophe in the making. The last time this country flirted with such protectionism, we triggered the Great Depression. And those tariffs weren’t even as reckless

From a constituent in Lincoln, NE4/4

Please, as my representative, I am pleading with you to oppose the President’s destructive economic decisions! The stock market is down. The tariffs are going to wreak so much havoc on the lives of ordinary Americans. We work hard, and now our retirement accounts are suffering. Please, you are smart

HHS cuts will kill Americans

Today was a shameful massacre across HHS, where thousands of workers found out they and their programs were gutted when they lost access to their building. It is disgusting and shameful that this is allowed to happen while Russel Vought and RFK Jr are cheering this on. Do we really want to be a

Opposing SAVE Act to protect voter rights

The proposed SAVE Act seeks to impose stringent requirements for proving U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections. This includes presenting specific forms of documentary proof like passports, birth certificates or naturalization records. While safeguarding election integrit

Please, I am begging you to act to protect the National Endowment for the Humanities. It’s such a tiny fraction of the federal budget that does so much good in increasing knowledge that benefits us all. Please, as your constituent, I am asking you not to let DOGE gut all the services and support the

Greenland is a sovereign nation

Why are you wasting our time and tax dollars by investigating the feasibility of taking over Greenland? Why are you not speaking up about the waste of that endeavor? Greenland is a sovereign nation. We have no business in trying to take it over. It would start an international war. Lives would be

From a constituent in Omaha, NE3/31

Oppose the introduction of S. 951, the Stop Comstock Act, that aims to repeal the 1873 Comstock Act. As we know, mifepristone is incredibly safe (safer than Tylenol!), FDA approved, and used for the majority of abortion care, so banning access to these pills is effectively banning abortion nationwid

Stop Ignoring the Signal Scandal — Uphold National Security and Accountability

I’m writing as a deeply concerned constituent, outraged by the ongoing silence and inaction around reports that classified information was shared over the Signal app by individuals closely tied to Donald Trump. If this had involved any Democrat, your outrage would’ve been immediate and relentless.

Vote against HR1526

I am a constituent writing to ask you to vote AGAINST HR 1526. This act is an overt and direct attack on our democracy. History will record which side you stand upon. Your name. Your vote. Your action or inaction will be forever listed as one who either fought for democracy or one who ceded power to

Vote against SJ Res 18

I would like to ask a question and to ask you to fight for every Nebraskan. What good does SJ Res 18 do for the common Nebraskans who voted for you? Who EXACTLY does it benefit? Removing the limitations to bank fees benefits no one except big banks. Someone who has an overdraft doesn’t need another

Demand Accountability for Breach of National Security

I’m writing to express my deep concern about the serious breach of national security involving a reporter being added to a Signal group chat where highly classified information was shared. This is a reckless and dangerous lapse in judgment, and it cannot be swept under the rug. I remember vividly h

Questions for Representative Bacon not addressed at the Town Hall

I had a few questions I was hoping you’d answer at the town hall, so I’m hoping you answer them now. 1. Regarding the allegations that the US destroyed evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine, will you push for an investigation to determine what occurred and who was responsible? Will you hold the

Signal usage a fireable offense

According to a recent piece by NPR: “Several days after top national security officials accidentally included a reporter in a Signal chat about bombing Houthi sites in Yemen, a Pentagon-wide advisory warned against using the messaging app, even for unclassified information. "A vulnerability has b

From a verified voter in Bellevue, NE3/25

Why are leaders talking about war plans on a chat app? You are on the Armed Services Committee. I think the committee should investigate why important, secret information was shared on cell phones. (Signal is supposed to be a safe app, but what if someone loses their phone?) This mistake shows tha

OPPOSE AM545 to LB415!

I’m writing as your constituent to urge you to oppose AM545 to LB415, which would weaken the voter-approved paid sick leave law (Initiative 436). In November, nearly 75% of Nebraskans voted in favor of this initiative, including voters in 89 of 93 counties and a majority in every single legislative

END HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE IN DETENTION CENTERS NOW!

I am writing to express my deep outrage and horror at the ongoing human rights violations taking place in ICE detention facilities across the United States.

The decision to suspend weather balloon launches at the Omaha and Rapid City offices is a concerning development that could potentially impact the accuracy and timeliness of weather forecasting in our region.

What is Musk doing? Why as an "advisor" does he get access to absolutely everything? You think this unelected billionaire is in it for the good of the country? You're gonna let this immigrant take the job of a U.S. citizen (t.rump)? This has gone too far for too long. I'm going to need you all to ac
