Stop ICE's lawless brutality

I’m writing, yet again, to express my horror and anger at what ICE is doing to our communities, currently in Charlotte. They are acting with seeming impunity, targeting citizens and noncitizens alike, smashing windows, thrusting guns in onlookers faces, and ignoring all law and due process. American

Air out the Epstein files

Please continue to support the release of the ENTIRETY of the Epstein investigation files. The documents that have already been released have been damning. We need full public disclosure of the files to trust that justice is being served. And when release occurs, loudly condemn ALL those who took

Stop ICE detention center on Oregon Coast

I am opposed to the possible siting of an ICE detention camp in Newport, or anywhere on the Oregon coast, or for that matter anywhere in Oregon. ICE is out of control. They are acting as a terrorist organization; masked, unidentified, violent, and without regard for people’s civil rights or legal

Support permanent ACA Extension

I’m calling to ask the Congressmember to support a permanent extension of the ACA premium tax credits, and block any additional abortion restrictions or attempt to sabotage the ACA in the bill Congress is currently crafting. Congress needs to act now to protect affordable health care before costs sk

Ban Flock Cameras in Oregon

Flock cameras should be banned in Oregon. Their use represents an unreasonable level of surveillance. Given that data may be additionally shared with immigration authorities (especially given their current lawless and terrorizing behavior), the use of flock cameras is dangerous and detrimental to pu

Hold ALL accountable who are in the Epstein files as abusers/enablers

I have a specific request to make with regards to the Epstein files. I think we all hope and expect they will be released, and I assume you are working toward that. When they ARE released, ANYONE implicated by them needs to be criticized, censured, attempts made at their removal. ANYONE. I want to

Out with Chuck Schumer

Chuck Schumer either orchestrated the democratic capitulation to end the shutdown or he doesn't have control of his caucus. Either option points to how unfit he is to lead the Democratic Party. Chuck Schumer must vacate his position as senate minority leader. leadership in this crisis of government

From a constituent in Roseburg, OR

I'm writing to urge you to support new leadership in the Senate. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has repeatedly caved to Republican and Trump-aligned pressure most recently during the government funding negotiations. His willingness to compromise away Democratic priorities and give in to bad-faith tac

Thanks for not caving

Thank you for not caving to the miserable "deal" to end the shutdown. It will only enable the Republicans to be cruel again to get their way. Please talk to your colleagues who supported it before the final vote. They need help in finding their integrity and courage!

Democrats need new leadership NOW

8 Senate Democrats folding to Republicans is a betrayal of every American. A pinky promise from Republicans to vote on ACA subsidies is worthless. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries should know this. Either Chuck Schumer knew about 8 democrats caving to republicans- meaning he knowingly betrayed wh

House Democrat Leadership

Hakeem Jeffries' support of Chuck Schumer shows that his leadership is also compromised and out of touch. Hakeem Jeffries support of establishment Democrats shows that he is not the leader to resist an authoritarian takeover. He needs to step aside in favor of someone who has the energy, skills, and

And after all that. . . my family is still looking at health care premiums double what we paid last year. I appreciate your holding strong through the shutdown fight. I urge you to continue opposing any budget that does not protect the ACA and restore the enhanced premium subsidies. And I urge you t

Senate Democratic Leadership

Senator Chuck Schumer's inability to lead the Democratic party in a cohesive, unified voice has been compromised. We cannot effectively fight fascism and Trump's authoritarian agenda without a strong leader. His compromised leadership is doing more harm than good. It is time for new leadership; time

Spending Bill and Healthcare

I am writing to encourage you to stay strong and not yield to the pressure of the Republicans; the failure of some Senate Democrats to have the people's back on healthcare; and Chuck Schumer's inability to effectively lead and vote NO on the spending bill. The Republican party cannot be trusted to k

Please consider taking steps to replace him immediately—with someone who has the backbone, empathy, and charisma to unite the p he government.

I am begging you both not to cave at this moment. There is nothing good for America here. We need new Democrat Leadership at the top. Gen Z turned out. Show them we have the guts to fight for them. No to re-opening until we get the ACA subsidies to continue.

Thank you for NO Vote on CR Funding Bill

Thank you for your NO vote to fund the govt without healthcare subsidies. The only Democrats who are correct on this issue are the ones willing to stand up to the GOP denial of reality. Then again if we remove ACA subsidies, while that might hurt people in the short term, it would be politically dev

Vote no on budget without ACA tax credit extensions

I am absolutely furious that the Senate is about to pass a deal that doesn’t extend the ACA premium tax credits. Your voters literally cannot afford their health insurance without these subsidies. The fact that Congress has thrown so many of us under the bus is inexcusable. When this bill comes back

Schumer Must Go

I am so demoralized this morning I can hardly get out of bed. A contingent of Democrats (not you!) is helping push the country off the cliff. It is unconscionable and unfathomable, and it is happening under the feckless leadership of Chuck Schumer, who has shown time and again he does not have the s

DO YOUR JOB

I’m incredibly upset that Democrats have caved in to the demands of the GOP. What was the purpose of this shutdown if we just give in to the demands of the opposition? They are all bought off by the capitalist machine. It’s so infuriating watching you play chess with real people’s lives! Do not thin

Cowards in the Senate

Thank you Oregon Democrats for not caving in regarding the government shutdown. Please verbally slap (or literally if you prefer) the Democratic and Independent cowards in the Senate who gave up our leverage for absolutely nothing. Future generations will remember and we will celebrate when we dese
