Pennsylvania Open Letters

Don’t vote for the current budget proposal

The bill proposes cuts to Medicaid and increases taxes for low-income individuals, while providing tax breaks for wealthy corporations and the top 1%. This disproportionately burdens vulnerable populations struggling to make ends meet. Instead of balancing the budget on the backs of the less fortuna

Reject dehumanizing reality show exploiting vulnerable immigrants

The Department of Homeland Security's proposal to create a reality show where immigrants compete for U.S. citizenship is highly unethical and dehumanizing. Forcing vulnerable individuals to participate in sensationalized challenges for the basic right of citizenship is nothing more than exploitation

Hold Trump accountable for his crimes

The Constitution outlines a process for holding the President accountable through impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors. Protecting our democratic institutions and upholding the rule of law is vital. I urge you to fulfill your duty to the Constitution and the American people by pursuing impea

No on H.R. 1526

The proposed No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025 would severely restrict the authority of federal district courts to issue injunctive relief against unlawful or unconstitutional actions by the executive branch. This represents an unacceptable infringement on the judiciary's role as a check on executive pow

Oppose attack on due process for nonprofits

Good morning, I'm writing to express deep concern over section 112209 in the current House tax reconciliation bill. As I'm sure you agree, consolidating more power in the executive branch by giving the Treasury Department authority to revoke nonprofit status with no due process on mere suspicion of

From a verified voter in Downingtown, PA

I am outraged about the proposal to cut Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical programs in order to give massive tax breaks to the rich. This proposal takes food away from children and denies healthcare to those who need it most so that billionaires can get even richer. This is unacceptable. Hardwork

Defend habeas corpus, uphold due process and civil liberties

The right of habeas corpus, a foundational protection against unlawful detention, must be preserved. Suspending this vital principle would gravely undermine due process and enable unjustified imprisonment without trial. As elected representatives duty-bound to uphold constitutional rights, you must

Vote NO on the Budget

Vote NO and do NOT approve the horrible budget bill currently on the table. No cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, Healthcare, libraries, our public lands! No tax cuts for the rich! Vote NO and stop tearing our country apart. And, that damn plane from Qatar needs to be returned. If not, it needs to re

Defend transgender rights, dismiss Rheintgen's trespassing charge

The arrest of Marcy Rheintgen for using a restroom aligned with her gender identity is a clear violation of her basic human rights. Transgender individuals have been utilizing public facilities matching their gender for generations without incident. This discriminatory action by Capitol Police serve

Promoting respectful dialogue on policies affecting disabled communities

The asset limit for individuals receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits is too low and should be increased or removed entirely. This outdated policy unjustly penalizes disabled people for attempting to save money, leaving them in a cycle of poverty. To promote financial stability and i

DISABLED PEOPLE DESERVE BETTER!!

I strongly urge action to raise the meager asset limit for individuals receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The current restrictive limit of just $2,000 for an individual and $3,000 for a couple forces vulnerable disabled Americans into abject poverty, stripping them of any opportunity to a

Oppose Federal Conceal Carry Mandate

Our lawmakers should prioritize passing policies that protect the safety of our communities. Instead, you are considering H.R. 38 and S. 65, legislation that threatens to undermine our life-saving gun laws. These bills would create a dangerous new federal mandate, forcing every state to recognize t

NO CUTS TO MEDICAID!

This is a plea to NOT cut Medicaid as a way to find tax cuts for the rich. So many Americans, including myself, rely on this program to help us receive necessary medical care in times of financial hardship. You were voted in to office to HELP your constituents, and if this Medicaid cut goes throug

Qatar gift

This reported $400 million "gift" of a luxurious private jet from Qatar to President Trump represents an egregious violation of the Constitution's Emoluments Clause and a severe national security threat. The Emoluments Clause explicitly prohibits the President from accepting any "present" or "Emolum

Our endanger species act currently provides protection for plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth. There is no reason at all to weaken these protections, when they provide economic opportunities longer term when protected. Quite simply, if protected, our country remains great. It remains a

Vote NO on the motion to table H.Res. 353

I am writing to urge you to vote NO on the motion to table H.Res. 353, the Articles of Impeachment introduced by Representative Shri Thanedar. Voting to table this resolution is not a neutral act—it is an intentional decision to avoid accountability and silence debate over serious allegations involv

The U.S. in the person of President Trump and his subordinates is sending massive quantities of weapons to Israel and thereby sustaining a campaign of utter destruction, clearly ethnic cleansing and potentially genocide, against Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere, and terminating special immigrant s

From a constituent in Telford, PA

The Trump Administration has begun and is continuing a series of actions based on implausible contortions of wording of the Constitution and numerous laws to execute a series of rapid actions that have improperly enriched Trump and his family businesses while fiscally and institutionally weakening t

From a constituent in Palmyra, PA

It is becoming increasingly clear that the current budget reconciliation needs to be squashed like an invasive bug. Between further tax cuts for the wealthy, bans on state AI bills, Medicaid cuts.... this is clearly not BY nor FOR the people you represent. Not only do Medicaid cuts directly affect t

Safeguard Constitution, uphold democratic principles and accountability

The actions of the Trump administration pose significant threats to the core tenets of our constitutional democracy.

Trump’s Qatari Jet Is a Bribe. Investigate and Act.

President Trump accepted a $400 million Boeing 747-8 jet from the Qatari royal family. That is not a harmless gesture. It is a violation of the U.S. Constitution and a direct threat to national security. Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the Constitution, known as the Foreign Emoluments Clause, exp

Protect vital programs, expand opportunities for all

The House GOP tax plan would reduce federal revenues by over $4 trillion over the next decade, potentially putting funding for vital programs like Medicaid, education, and student aid at risk. Protecting access to affordable healthcare, quality education, and support for college students should be a
