Ohio Open Letters

DO NOT PASS HOUSE BILL 754

Please, DO NOT pass Bill 754. We, as citizens of Ohio, did not vote for ANY adjustments to the abortion bill. I cannot believe this is the dystopian state you are trying to create. We do not want this for ourselves or our children. All of these Christian Nationalist policies look suspiciously like

No ICE/CBP Funding Without Law Enforcement Standards & The Blevins Act

As your constituent, I am writing to demand that you oppose any appropriations or funding for ICE or CBP unless the legislation includes two non-negotiable oversight provisions: 1. Uniform Policing Standards: Requiring ICE and CBP to adhere to the same professional rules of conduct, use-of-force re

Urgent: Pay TSA Agents to Protect Public Safety

I’m writing out of concern for public safety. Right now, TSA agents responsible for protecting millions of travelers are going unpaid due to the ongoing funding impasse within the Department of Homeland Security, making it increasingly difficult for them to continue working. When trained TSA agents

Stop the war mongering

Is the USA going to be best known for causing death and misery across the globe? Innocent people are dying because of US military action in Iran, Lebanon, Cuba. Have we abandoned the rule of law? Diplomacy? The national debt is out of control and congress sits on its hands pretending that we are not

I strongly oppose wasting an additional $200 Billion dollars (and counting) on a war that was started by a President looking for a distraction from the Epstein file and his failed policies and is being mismanaged by an incompetent Secretary of "War". We need that money to be spent at home where it c

Local law enforcement wears a name badge/number and shows their face. It is not crazy or radical for ICE officers to do the same. Republicans are being completely unreasonable not to make this compromise. Republican support for terror tactics and failure to compromise is creating chaos in the lives

NO on HB 249

I am writing to urge you to vote NO on HB 249. This bill does not reflect the responsibility you hold to serve and protect all constituents. Instead, it targets specific members of our community in a way that is harmful, exclusionary, and inconsistent with the values of fairness and dignity that sh

Stop debating SAVE, it's a waste of time and unnecessary. Fund TSA as a standalone bill, now!

From a constituent in Galloway, OH

Pay TSA, not ICE

Pay TSA workers who have been working without pay due to the partial government shutdown. Continue to hold ICE budget until there is true oversight and the agency complies with federal law.

From a constituent in Columbus, OH

Vote NO on HB-249!

Please vote NO on HB-249. This is yet another attack on free speech and individual rights. The Republican party is again attacking our civil rights and diminishing our human rights. Stop their prudishness and little-minded hatred for Americans.

Pay TSA Agents With Available Funds

I need you to redirect available funds to pay TSA agents immediately. These workers protect millions of travelers every day, yet they're among the lowest-paid federal employees. Many qualify for food assistance while screening our bags and keeping our airports secure. The money exists. We've found

Don't spend $200B on the Epstein war. Spend it on healthcare instead!

The Pentagon is preparing an emergency spending request that will exceed $200 billion, a fraction of Iraq and Afghanistan's $8 trillion cost, nearly 7,000 lives lost, and 20 years of failure. History shows reckless wars grow worse, increase debt, and create new conflicts. Every billion spent in Ir

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

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.

Markwayne Mullin, the Trump DHS nominee, recounted a 2022 incident in which he threatened his daughter’s teenage boyfriend during a church speech.

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.
