New Democratic Leadership: Replace Jeffries and Schumer

Voters handed Democrats a clear mandate in this election. We expect leaders who will use it. I am asking you to support new leadership for the Democratic caucus in both chambers, and to vote against Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer when leaders are chosen. Under their leadership, Democrats have to

Vote for Senate Majority Leader

Earlier today, I left a message to your office to ask for your support in not voting for Chuck Schumer for office. I would like to now ask if you would consider nominating or voting for Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader. Van Hollen would make an incredible majority leader. He was instrumen

Support Majority Leadership That Reflects What Voters Sent You to Do

Support the choice of majority leaders who are better aligned with the needs and hopes of voters. The frustration pouring in from constituents makes one thing clear: people are watching leadership choices closely, and they are not satisfied with leaders who lack the backbone to fight for them.

The PEOPLE demand new leadership

The People Demand New Leadership. My dear representatives and Senators, now is the time for new leadership in the Democratic Party. Please know that the people who brought you the “blue wave” are NOT happy with the congressional leadership. It’s time for Chuck Shumer and Hakeem Jeffries to step asid

I am writing because New Mexicans need to you to stand up and publicly oppose the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA). This bill is not about affordability or jobs. It is about silencing the voices of New Mexicans, who have time and time again been forced to pay the consequences f

After the election

Congratulations! The American people gave you a well deserved victory. The work begins now. I know congress can multitask, so as you move forward, don't neglect accountability and justice.

I urge you to support a more progressive party leader than Schumer and Jeffries. The election was a mandate for accountability as well as affordability. Jeffries and Schumer represent the old guard. Time to invigorate the party and push forward.

"No" on Jeffries for Speaker

Democrats must be prepared to launch a fierce resistance against Christian nationalist and conservative politicians at all levels of government if we are to have a chance at undoing the horrors they have enacted against both American citizens and citizens of other countries, such as (but not limited

Democrats will soon be holding leadership elections, and we want you to know that we have no faith in Hakeem Jeffries to do the job we need. There is so much talent in this caucus, and so many lawmakers who have shown they know how to fight, to message effectively, and to inspire their base. Jeffr

Speaker of the House

When the Democrats select a Speaker of the House, please select someone who acts rather than writing strongly worded letters. Someone who will give Trump nothing. No compromise.

Time to fix it

I'm completely quoting Jess Wilson, who said everything I needed to say, but better: The first thing that we need you to do this morning, and I mean the very first thing, is to hire Senator-Elect Abdul El-Sayed’s Comms team. Then call Mayor Mamdani. Ask him to consult. On everything. Next, thank

While I am enjoying our historic blowout last night, I am fully aware this is ours to lose in the long run. We needs to ensure that we focus on governing, not retribution. We need to hold key cabinet members to account, but MUST ensure we pass legislation to ensure this can’t happen again, to fix

Government workers bill

Please consider a bill that allows government workers such as VA workers to get their jobs back, giving them preference over new applicants and the veteran 10 point preference they had before.

BAAJA is a bad bill and It needs to be changed before you vote on it. Granted, it has some good things like making data centers pay the full cost of connecting to the grid, but it also has some BAD things: - It lets federal agencies decide about energy projects - like mining - without consulting tr

Please oppose the new rule that shortens the notice people with refugee status receive before the government terminates their status. Changing the notice from 30 days to just 10 days threatens the basic due process rights of those with refugee status on track for green cards. Please urge DHS and US

Israel and the U.S. have apparently developed plans to restart military strikes on Iran after the midterm elections. We are adamantly opposed to this. We do NOT want further military strikes.

Trump has been doing even more horrible things these past few days. He has ignored the Lindsay Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act and instead has lifted the Russian sanctions. He has turned against our ally Ukraine who has been defending itself against Russias unprovoked attack for years now.

We are SO tired of gun violence killing children in our country. It's happening more and more. And it’s immoral that Congress has failed to act. At the bare minimum, we need universal background checks, a federal ban on the purchase of high-capacity magazines and military-style assault weapons, and
