Reject White House AI Proposal and Protect Creative Workers

I need you to oppose the White House AI legislative recommendations sent to Congress and work to establish real accountability for AI systems harming workers and artists. The recent cancellation of author Mia Ballard's book contract shows what happens without safeguards. Hachette pulled her novel a

Opposition to House Bill 249 – Protect Free Expression and LGBTQ+ Safety

I am writing to express my strong opposition to House Bill 249. This proposed legislation raises serious constitutional and human rights concerns, particularly regarding freedom of expression and the safety of transgender and queer individuals in Ohio. At its core, HB 249 appears to criminalize aspe

Fund TSA and things that help Americans, not ICE, weekly vacations, and war.

The truth about TSA funding: it could be restored TODAY if Republicans wanted it to be, but they don't. Instead, they're using federal workers as pawns to try to get what they want, which is more funding for ICE & CBP, so they can terrorize us. This means less money for U.S. taxpayers. Why do we ha

Stop Trump's Assault on American Democracy

You must act immediately to stop President Trump's assault on our democratic institutions. Three major reports released this March confirm what many of us have witnessed: Trump has damaged American democracy faster than any president in our history. The V-Dem Institute dropped the U.S. from 20th to

Protect and help USPS. It's an essential service.

Congress must act to remove artificial barriers to USPS’s success, and actively enable the postal service to bring in new revenue streams. Now that The Postal Service Reform Act’s passage has addressed longstanding but artificial budget shortfalls, Congress must free USPS to proactively bring in new

Stop the Deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia

You must intervene immediately to stop ICE from deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia. This is persecution disguised as immigration enforcement. The Trump administration wrongfully deported Abrego Garcia to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison in March, violating a 2019 court order that barred his d

Oppose Section 702 Reauthorization Without Warrant Requirements

Vote against reauthorizing Section 702 of FISA before the April 20 deadline unless it includes a warrant requirement for searches of Americans' communications. This surveillance authority has been used to conduct millions of warrantless backdoor searches of phone calls, texts, and emails of people i

CONSTITUENT: Reject FCC’s Unlawful 39% Cap Waiver for Nexstar-Tegna

I am writing to express my strongest possible objection to the FCC’s recent approval of the Nexstar-Tegna merger on March 19. This broadcast behemoth would reach 80% of U.S. households, a clear and dangerous violation of the 39% national ownership cap established by Congress in 2004. The FCC’s deci

Oppose the horribly misleading Save America Act. Protect voting rights.

I am writing to express my absolute outrage regarding the SAVE America Act currently on the Senate floor. Let me be crystal clear: Vote NO on this bill, or consider your political career over as far as I and my community are concerned. I am sick and tired of politicians pretending that disenfranchi

Constituent Demand: End Warrantless Detentions & Support the Bivens Act

I am writing to express my grave concern regarding the current administration’s use of administrative warrants to conduct home entries and mass removals. As my representative in Washington, I am asking you to take immediate legislative action to restore the Fourth Amendment and ensure that no federa

Markwayne Mullin, the Trump DHS nominee, recounted a 2022 incident in which he threatened his daughter’s teenage boyfriend during a church speech. He said he warned the boy he would “drag [his] face across the asphalt” if he saw him kiss his daughter. Wow, and you are seriously considering voting ye

OPPOSE JEAN SCHMIDT’S SB 754

I urge you to oppose Representative Schmidt's bill requiring registration of all fetal deaths and certificates of life after heartbeat detection. This is state surveillance at a dystopian level. Woman’s medical information is not state-owned, nor are the women. Stop this government overreach.

Oppose Jean Schmidt's Fetal Registration and Heartbeat Certificate Bill

Vote no on Representative Schmidt's bill requiring registration of all fetal deaths and certificates of life after heartbeat detection. This legislation creates a state surveillance system over pregnancy that will devastate women's healthcare in Ohio. Mandating government tracking of every pregnanc

Reject the SAVE Act!

It is time to take a step back and stop creating policy and legislation based on conspiracy theories. DJT’s MAGA movement would like you to believe that US elections (particularly the ones MAGA loses) are regularly hijacked by massive voter fraud including illegal voting by non-citizens. Enter the S

Dear sycophant, consequences are coming for you at the ballot box.

I am writing to ask you a direct and serious question: why are you standing by while clear signs of cognitive decline at the highest levels of leadership are affecting the direction of our country? This is not about party loyalty, it is about responsibility. When leadership appears impaired, the co

I demand the immediate release of all children from the Dilley and Karnes detention centers and an end to child detention. These children are not criminals. There is no reason to detain them. Release them.

I want to make sure the Senator is going to vote against FISA reauthorization until the “data broker loophole” has been closed. I do NOT want AI spying on me for Donald Trump. I’m watching this vote very closely.

This whole administration is corrupt to the core because you let them be.

In addition to billions of taxpayer dollars being burned in this illegal war in Iran, reports are showing that Sec. Pete Hegseth blew $93 billion in federal DOD funding at the end of last year on: $3.5 billion for cable TV $225 million for furniture $15.1 million for ribeye steaks $6.9 million

Vote NO on $200B Iran Supplemental

I am writing to demand that you vote NO on the staggering $200 billion supplemental funding request for the war in Iran. It is absurd that Congress is being asked to rubber-stamp hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars for "Operation Epic Fury," a conflict initiated without a formal declaration of

Claw Back the $170B Slush Fund for ICE and CPB

In July of last year, congressional Republicans passed H.R. 1, a budget bill that slashed billions in funding for social safety net programs like Medicaid and SNAP while allocating $170 billion to immigration enforcement activities over the next four years. H.R. 1 made Immigration and Customs Enforc

I'm urging you to vote NO on FISA. In its current form, the bill has data broker loopholes that allow the government to ignore the Fourth Amendment and seize our data without a warrant. I don't want the government using Al to surveil me and my community. I am asking you to stand with the bipartisan

Vote YES on S.3021, the ENFORCE Act, to enhance enforcement of laws prosecuting those who create and distribute Child Sexual Abuse Material. This will help protect American children in the age of digital harm and allow for perpetrators to be charged for their roles in child abuse.

No Funding For Illegal War

I am writing to demand that you vote against funding Donald Trump and the Republican Party’s illegal war in Iran. I will never vote for anyone who funds this mess. If Trump wants a war, he and his rich friends can pay out of their own pockets.
