Stop the genocide in Gaza

Stop the genocide in Gaza. You have that ability. It’s great that you’ve paused some of the bigger bombs but it’s not enough. Release the report detailing Israel’s abuses instead of stalling.

Voter Suppression of Independents

The law in the state of Pennsylvania needs to change. Constituents who register as "Independent" are unable to vote in the Primaries, and that means 1/3 of the registered voters have no voice.

Pass the Gift Ban!

The issue of a "gift ban" has been hanging fire for a long time. As the Democrats currently hold the Senate and House, there is no reason we can't get that passed. Please use the "bully pulpit" of your office to pressure the Legislature to move on this issue soon.
