Tax the rich

Dear governor, Mamdani’s plan to increase taxes on millionaires is one of the most progressive proposal I have seen in years if not decades. We have to rip the bandaid and get it done. We need more tax revenue to fund services for citizens including seniors and children and to fund the MTA to improv

Vote against the Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act

I urge you to vote against the Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act. This falsely-named bill will give the Trump administration the power to censor free speech on college campuses and penalizes any university that engages in boycotts. This is a terrible idea at a time when academic freedom is u

I don’t know if states can help us keep the Supreme Court transparent but I drafted this in attempt to do so. If you and our Attorney General think this concept is workable, please share with our coalition of states and state attorneys general. I wrote this to Congress this morning. “If the Suprem

If the Supreme Court will not disclose and adhere to ethical conduct rules, then the people must make them do so. I urge you to propose legislation requiring any individual, company, entity, or other to-be-defined group (“Giftor”) to disclose any and all gifts, payments, trips, advice, or items th

Release the Epstein Files — No More Delays

Speaker Johnson's decision to shut down the House early and block a vote on releasing Epstein-related documents is unacceptable. Victims like Annie Farmer have waited long enough. Forcing a recess to avoid a bipartisan transparency vote isn't leadership — it's obstruction, and it shouldn't come with

Oppose the SECURE Data Act (H.R. 8413)

I'm one of your constituents, and I'm writing to ask you to oppose the SECURE Data Act (H.R. 8413). I want a real federal privacy law — this bill isn't one. The problem starts with what the bill would take away. Its broad preemption language would wipe out state privacy laws, including Illinois's b

Reject Hindutva – No Platform for the RSS

On August 29, 2026, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat addressed 5,000 people at Madison Square Garden. The RSS is the ideological parent of India's ruling party—a paramilitary organization whose founder admired Nazi Germany. This rally was not culture—it was a showcase for Hindutva, a supremacist ideology tha

Please explain your support of H.R.4795 - "Protect Economic and Academic Freedom Act of 2026”. I do not see how forcing colleges and universities to support Israel provides any economic or academic freedom to those institutions. Moreover, I find your hard over support for Israel as being severely

Constituent question: SAFE for Kids Act after the IDScan.net breach

I'm a New Yorker writing about the SAFE for Kids Act, and I'm asking you to work toward its repeal — or at minimum, a fundamental reworking of how it handles age verification. Last week's IDScan.net breach shows exactly why. A dark-web marketplace called Nexus started advertising 153 million scans

I am disappointed the US hasn't ratified CEDAW

I'm disappointed, and I am angry, that the United States still has not ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. America signed CEDAW on July 17, 1980. The Senate has had the treaty since November 1980. Nearly every other country in the world has ratifi
