Protect vital Social Security benefits for vulnerable Americans

Our elderly and disabled citizens deserve the peace of mind that comes with knowing their benefits are secure and will continue to provide a reliable source of income each and every month.

From a constituent in Chattanooga, TN

I support education for all children regardless of legal status. I am writing to urge you to oppose SB836/HB793, which would allow LEAs and public charter schools to deny students a free public education based on immigration status. This bill conflicts with our core values and our commitment to pr

Do your job to protect us from Musk

Why is Musk talking with DOD officials about potential war plans against China? He does Tesla business with China and besides that being in conflict, he probably doesn't have properly vetted security clearance for that. Congress needs to reign in Musk and protect our privacy, bank info, and IRS data

Protect the Department of Education

I am writing as a constituent to demand an answer: Will you stand with Donald Trump’s extreme plan to dismantle the Department of Education, or will you fight to protect our public schools? Trump’s executive order will devastate education in every community. It will cut funding for public schools,

Do not dismantle CDC's HIV prevention division

The Trump administration's consideration to eliminate the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Division on HIV Prevention would be detrimental to the progress made against new HIV infections in the United States.

This is a democracy, and he is not representing the people who voted for him; Or even those who did not vote for him. He is doing things that in one way or anoth

Stop the termination of federal grants (i.e. NIH) already approved by congress

The termination of NIH and other federal grants already approved and allocated by congress must stop. There is no transparency on why certain grants are being targeted and terminated. There is no rhyme or reason. This is a vendetta of the administration against science, data, and facts. These g

Why do beneficiaries have to go to Social Security Offices to apply for benefits or just to change direct deposit information as of the end of this month?
