Oregon Open Letters

From a verified voter in Warrenton, OR

Short and to the point, it’s time to abolish the electoral college. We need to stabilize the country from the gross attempts to manipulate voting and ignore the will of the masses for the few rich and uneducated to drive the country.

Electric Shock Gloves

I’m very concerned about the electric shock gloves that DHS plans to buy for ICE agents. It is horrifying enough to learn that such things are already in use in prisons and schools; with the track record ICE has established, we can be absolutely certain ICE will use the gloves abusively and perhaps

Vote no on and oppose the "Clarity" act

I’m furious that Trump’s cryptocurrency company, from which he’s already profited nearly $800 million since he returned to the White House, has received the green light to become a bank and potentially make him even more money. This is outrageous! Congress needs to take action to rein in Trump’s cor

SAVE OUR FORESTS Stop Trump and Republicans from desecrating our beautiful and beloved national parks before it is too late!

Vote No on CORCA

As a constituent, I urge you to vote NO on CORCA. This bill would give DHS and ICE sweeping new power to track our movements, monitor our associations, and collect our personal data - putting all of our privacy at risk. Please vote NO on CORCA.

I'm writing to urge Congressman Bentz to support H.R. 9901, the Safeguarding Endangered Species Act. Habitat loss is the primary driver of extinction and opening protected land to logging, mining, and drilling would be devastating to so many species across the country. Trump is attacking our wildlif

I’m furious that Trump directed the Pentagon to scale back planned joint military exercises with South Korea. He is instead talking about his “very good relationship” with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. This is unhinged. Trump’s foreign policy is destabilizing the world order, endangering American

ICE Needs Accountability and Oversight, Not More Weapons

I'm writing to urge you to oppose ICE's plan to spend $10–20 million equipping officers with electric shock gloves, and to instead push for real oversight and accountability for the agency's existing use of force. ICE has repeatedly shown it cannot be trusted with the authority it already has. Addi

Stop ICE from purchasing more dangerous weapons

ICE plans to purchase en masse devices called G.L.O.V.E which can administer an electric shock to "effect compliance." These gloves are not to be used on children or disabled people, yet those are two groups ICE frequently targets - I'm sure you can see the problem there. It is long past time for ac

Support State Authority to Prosecute Presidential Financial Fraud

This state law is exactly the kind of accountability measure our legal system needs, and I want you to defend it. No one should be above the law — including a sitting or former president.

Block Data Centers

The Verrus project in Marion County Oregon must be blocked. The county cannot handle the water usage or the electrical load. The company has shown it is not interested in acting within the county's citizens' best interests let alone the environment's. Verrus was hiding behind NDA's until this projec
