Reject H.R. 9495, Protect Free Speech and Dissent
H.R. 9495 poses a grave threat to free speech and dissent in America by granting the Treasury Secretary unchecked power to unilaterally designate tax-exempt organizations as "terrorist supporting" and strip them of their tax-exempt status. This bill lacks due process protections, allowing the govern
I have only just today heard about HR 9495. While the goal may be reasonable, in practice the way the legislation is written, it seems like it would allow the President to dismantle any non-profit they disagree with it by just claiming that it gives “support” to terrorist causes. This is ripe for

I am writing to plead with you to choose a non-maga Republican to replace Senator Vance. Choose a person who will uphold the constitution and stand for democracy. Someone who will not bow down to pressure to act otherwise. Are you able to do that?
As your constituent, I am writing to urge you to vote AGAINST HR 9495. This bill contains text from HR 6408, which is already covered under federal law 18 U.S.C. § 2339A, making the need for HR 9495 redundant. The only thing this new bill would provide is more power to the Executive Branch to curb f

Vote to stop weapons transfers to Israel.
I am writing to ask you to support joint resolutions 111-116 to stop the export of weapons to Israel.

Democracy harbors no kings
I am a Classics professor. I talk with my students about the birth of Democracy, how it was a departure from monarchy, and tyranny. The brand new United States experimented with its own form of Democracy, again, to remove itself from a monarchy. It has worked here, until now. Until the recent rul

Protect election officials
Hi, I'm reaching out from 43214 concerned about the trend of threats toward election officials. I'm asking you to do two things.

Amendment for Presidential candidates requirements
Congress must construct a new amendment prohibiting felons from being nominated for Presidential candidates. If felons can't vote, they definitely should not be a President of the United States.

We should require that all urban areas and public spaces, including parks and local governmental centers and places of common gathering, have many and adequate permanent, gratis, well-maintained bathroom facilities accessible from outside and without entering any other building. The adequate supply
Accomodating the visually impaired
We should standardize the location and presentation of Braille signage in public spaces. First, we should have it designed primarily by blind and sight-impaired folk in all cases. But, modulo their preferences and suggestions, I propose the following ideas: (1) If it labels a single door or the cont
Arms Embargo for Israel
The absolute least we can do to end the genocide in the Mid East is placing Israel under an arms embargo. It is unacceptable for my tax dollars to be spent on burning patients alive in hospital beds. It is unacceptable for a person of conscience to voice support for a regime that bombs refugee camp

After observing “news” reports, I am astounded by how flagrant the spreading of misinformation has become. Candidates and their cronies make outrageous claims that are verifiably untrue, and no one—not the media, not our elected officials—makes any attempt to try to correct the record. It feels like
Advocate arms embargo to press for Israeli-Palestinian peace process
