Stop Voter Disenfranchisement & Unfunded Mandates: Vote NO on Sub HB 472

I am writing to you today as an Ohioan to urge you to vote NO on the substitute version of HB 472. Until recently, HB 472 was a commendable, bipartisan bill designed to waive identification fees for Ohioans experiencing homelessness—a practical solution to a real problem. Instead, that good work ha

No matter what you say, Trump and Republicans are bad for our wallets. Inflation is around a three-year high. Wages have not kept up. Nearly half of U.S. households are struggling to afford the basics. A year ago, the personal savings rate was 5.8%. By March 2026 it was down to 3.2%. In April, the l

The White House Belongs to the People. No UFC Fights on Our Front Lawn

I am writing to express my deep concern and absolute opposition regarding the administration’s decision to host "UFC Freedom 250"—a private, corporate, pay-per-view cage-fighting event—on the White House South Lawn. This is a severe violation of federal norms, public space regulations, and basic gov

ICE is, and has been, out of control. You've seen it. You've heard about it. Your constituents don't want anymore of our tax dollars spent on this agency without controls. Too many citizens, practicing their First Amendment rights, have been injured/maimed by overzealous ICE agents. It has to stop.

Get Bill Pulte as far away from any kind of power as possible.

Bill Pulte, whom Trump recently made acting Director of National Intelligence, is a disaster. He's entirely unqualified with zero credentials and experience. He is a partisan extremist who will put loyalty to Trump before national security and the constitution. Under Pulte, the intelligence communit

Caring for the People’s House and Protecting It from Desecration

I am committed to our shared duty to care for humanity’s freedom and human rights. I know you and POTUS are not so committed, because your replies always remind me that you don’t care for everyone, just your MAGA constituents - Mean, Angry, Greedy, and Anti-American. Nevertheless, wouldn’t it be b

Vote No on The Secure America Act

We are behind China in clean energy due to Trump's bad energy policies.

Block this $700 million coal bailout. Using the Defense Production Act to prop up coal plants isn't an energy policy — it's a taxpayer-funded subsidy for a dying industry that produces the most expensive, most polluting electricity available. Coal is more costly to build and operate than wind or sol

Thanks to all rethuglicans for allowing Trump to turn the White House into circus that it has become. There is no longer any doubt about what he is doing and what you are allowing. Disgusting.

No Deal! Stop Special Tax Immunity for the President

Everyday Americans follow the rules. We pay our fair share of taxes, and we submit to IRS audits when called upon. We are a nation of laws here, and nobody is above the law. Yet, a dangerous new precedent is being set behind closed doors, a deal that grants the President, his family, and his busines

Why are Congressional Republicans not doing their jobs at all??

The blind loyalty that the Republicans in Congress give to Trump isn't leadership, it's weakness, it's cowardice, and it is a liability for the American people. Ignoring the fact that Trump has lost control of his mental faculties and is unable to do his job properly, blindly confirming his unqual

Keep Science Independent of Politics
