STOP funding for the unethical and harmful hep B vaccine trail in Guinea-Bissau.

Please find a way to halt our government funding an unethical trial being pushed by RFK jr. The hep B vaccine trial was given the go-ahead in Guinea-Bissau. It would withhold a potentially life saving vaccine to test its hypothesis. This trial puts thousands of children at risk and I am concerned th

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to support legislation that permanently ends the biannual practice of changing our clocks. The rationale for Daylight Saving Time is outdated, and the disruption it causes twice a year carries measurable costs. Studies consistently demonstrate that the tr

Trump has officially sided with Russia. STOP HIM!

Trump has officially sided with Russia against Ukraine. He is blaming the cost of diesel fuel on Ukraine, and blaming Ukraine for prolonging the war. He is turning our ally into our enemy, and our enemy into our ally. Stop him!

The death penalty is immortal to start with, firing squad is archaic, but public viewing of a death is nothing more than an illegal snuff film. People go to prison for this crime!!!

Dear Gov. Kotek, I truly hope the you will continue to prove to be a Gov. that will stand up to this present Administration (if you can call it that) in DC.

Intervene Against Pentagon Proposal to Livestream Military Execution

I am writing to you today as a constituent to express my deep disgust and alarm regarding the Defense Department’s proposal to publicly livestream the upcoming military execution of Nidal Hasan. Regardless of the horrific nature of Hasan’s crimes at Fort Hood, turning a state execution into a broadc

Rep. Bentz, are you certain you want to be known as one of the lawmakers that enabled trump and hegseth to carry out their wicked and twisted agenda? Or do you want to be remembered as one of the brave Republicans that knew when to draw the line and hold people like them accountable? Do you support

From a constituent in Union, OR

I am outraged by the Pentagon’s plan to livestream the December 3 execution of Nidal Hasan. Making an execution public would put us in the company of countries like Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea. It’s morally repugnant. Children could see it. Congress needs to do anything and everything it can

Oppose the Public Livestreaming of Executions

The idea of livestreaming an execution for public consumption is appalling. Turning the state-sanctioned killing of a human being into a public spectacle is the kind of behavior we associate with ISIS propaganda, not a modern democratic society that claims to value human dignity and the rule of law.

Trump encourages a terrorist attack by Iran on LA and SD. This is TREASON!

Trump committed treason, AGAIN, and in the most horrific way. He needs to be removed from office for encouraging a terrorist attack by a foreign country of which we are engaged in war with. The level of desensitization to this is absurd. He needs to be removed. Congress needs to act. Call on UNPOL t

Please sign on to the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act from Senator Sanders and Rep. Casar. We need to pause advanced AI until it’s safe, before it costs people their jobs, raises our bills, or gets even more out of control. This is really important to me. Thanks.

Legislative proposal: Protecting workers from uncompensated device mandates

Protect public lands

Hello, please do everything in your power to protect our public lands. Bears Ears National Monument and others are in great peril. Trump and other GOP leaders are using Bears Ears to test the antiquities act and see if they can indeed gut our public lands. These lands belong to the people of the Uni

Stop Taxpayer-Funded Political Ads Disguised as PSAs

I'm writing to urge you to act against the White House's use of taxpayer money to air political advertisements it calls "public service announcements." The latest spot, "Final Battle," is nearly identical to a 2024 Trump campaign ad. The only real change is that the ending now reads "Paid for by th
