GET RID OF CONCENTRATION CAMPS

Why are you allowing concentration camps on American soil? The so-called “detention centers” are overcrowded, unsanitary storage spaces for human beings. The prisoners which, include children, haven’t been charged with or convicted of a crime. Trump’s Nazi administration is just kidnapping people in

Stand up to Trump

How do you sleep at night knowing you support a rapist pedophile president? He took your power of the purse and power to declare war. He doesn’t give a shit about you. You’re supporting an illegal war in which children are being murdered and we’re spending billions per day. We don’t have the troops,

UPDATED CONCERNS: HB 617 – The hidden costs to Ohio’s working class

I am following up on my previous correspondence regarding HB 617. As the House Ways and Means Committee continues to debate this bill, I am writing to highlight three specific, high-risk nuances that have become even more concerning: 1. The Property Tax Backdoor Hike: The projected $645 million a

Opposition to HB 20 – Protecting First Amendment Rights and Public Transparency

I am writing to express my firm opposition to House Bill 20. While the safety of first responders is a goal we all share, this legislation is a redundant and dangerous overreach that threatens the constitutional rights of every Ohioan. I urge you to consider the following flaws within the bill that

Why do Republicans want to destroy our terrible healthcare system even more?

The White House is looking into a creative new way to finance Trump’s war in Iran: Kicking 300,000 Americans off their health insurance to pay for it. We’re entering Week 5 of “Operation Einstein Fury,” or as I like to call it, “The War No One Asked For.” We get exactly what Trump promised he would

Oppose Birth and Death Certificate Registry for Pregnancies

I'm asking you to oppose any legislation that would require birth certificates for fetal heartbeats or death certificates for miscarriages and pregnancy losses. These registry requirements serve no legitimate public health purpose. They create a government surveillance system that tracks pregnancy

Your priorities are in the wrong place. Healthcare is more important than war.

I urge you oppose the use of budget reconciliation to fund the illegal Iran war, ICE, and voter suppression. Americans are struggling with skyrocketing healthcare, food, and fuel prices and need relief. Doubling down on cuts to safety net programs to fund human rights abuses at home and abroad is de

Reject Kirk School Proposal

I heard about the proposal to create a program for Ohio schools centered around Charlie Kirk. I absolutely reject this idea. Kirk, while utilizing free speech, spread nothing but hatred, bigotry, and zealotry. The government cannot and should not endorse his messages as a platform for education. Do

The Trump administration is building a system designed to make accountability in ICE detention centers impossible -- bigger, more remote, more privatized, and more opaque. Meanwhile, people are dying. The system is designed to make the people imprisoned in these facilities voiceless -- their lette

Reclaim Congressional Authority and Prevent War Crimes in Iran

Across the country, millions of Americans showed up on Saturday for more than 3,100 “No Kings” events.

Reject HB 486 - the Charlie Kirk indoctrination attempt

Reject House Bill 486 - we don't need a Charlie Kirk bill. This is a waste of time. Idk who this man was other than what seems to be a provocateur. This bill is unnecessary. Only parents should have any control over what's positively and negatively taught about beliefs and belief systems such as Ch

I hate knowing I am helping to harm so many people simply by paying my taxes.

Stop this absurd, pointless war! Not only have 13+ American soldiers been killed, 300+ have been wounded! For God’s sake! We bombed a school full of children! We’ve destroyed hospitals and countless other buildings! For what? So a narcissistic madman can distract us from his many sex crimes detailed

House Bill 486 is a step away from democracy in Ohio

Why is Trump slapping his toxic name all over everything?

I am so sick of Trump sticking his name on everything, regardless of what the law or tradition dictates, and none of you stop him. You let him plaster it onto the Kennedy Center ABOVE Kennedy's name (!), put it on the America the Beautiful national park passes, and now he's going to be signing our c

CONSTITUENT OPPOSITION: House Bill 249 is unconstitutional and unnecessary

I am writing to urge you to vote NO on House Bill 249 now that it has moved to the Senate. As an engaged voter, I find the language of this legislation to be dangerously vague. By framing "indecency" around conduct that might "affront others," this bill invites subjective enforcement based on indiv

We've had it with the Trump crime family.

The third No Kings protest was the largest nationwide civil protest in U.S. history. The largest. The next one will be half again bigger and the one after that even bigger, and that'll continue until Congress remembers we are supposed to have a democracy in the USA, not a monarchy. We've had it w

Mail-in voting has been important part of life in the 21st century. It's not only important for all our service members overseas, but it's important for those that travel. Of course, back when the Constitution was written there were not many traveling or serving overseas. Not only is absentee ballo
