Texas Open Letters
From a constituent in Leander, TXListen to your constituents, not Elon Musk!
The direct influence that unelected billionaires like Elon Musk are able to exert over the legislative process is deeply concerning for American democracy. Allowing the personal opinions and financial interests of the ultra-wealthy to derail negotiations and policy decisions undermines the fundament
From a verified voter in Spring, TXPlease do not confirm Robert Kennedy during the next administration. He is grossly unqualified and is a threat to the research that is conducted at our world-class universities. I know a young man getting a PhD in Neuropharmacology at UT in Austin. He, his professors and his peers are very concern
From a constituent in Corpus Christi, TXRFK lacks the qualifications for Secretary of Health and Human Services.
I firmly believe that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lacks the qualifications and expertise to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services. His long history of promoting debunked claims about vaccines and autism is deeply concerning and could endanger public health. While he states support for the polio
From a verified voter in Plano, TXPass Medicare for all
The Medicare for All Act proposes establishing a universal single-payer national health insurance system in the United States, similar to Canada's Medicare and Taiwan's national health insurance. Under this system, most medical care would be paid for by the federal government, eliminating the need f
From a verified voter in Arlington, TXPass a fair budget, please! Do not raise the debt ceiling, no more tax cuts for the wealthy, no raises for y'all. Americans are struggling, the wealthy, and Congress, aren't. I know this is naive of me, but if you would support campaign finance reform, you wouldn't be beholden to the wealthy to get
From a verified voter in Austin, TXGovernment shut down and non-elected people interfering
I want to be governed by actual elected officials not someone who sends out a tweet to shut the government down . Please stand up to this un-American way of governing . And please don’t shut down the government.
From a verified voter in Converse, TXI am pleased to see that you did not vote for the bad-faith Republican bill they forwarded after rejecting the bipartisan bill agreed to. Democrats should not agree to Republican replacements when the Republicans can't muster their own party to vote for things.
From a constituent in Irving, TXPlease block confirmation of the FBI director nominee, Kash Patel. The American justice system is intended to be fair. Mr. Patel’s plan to weaponize the justice system would degrade trust in our American institutions. I hope you will block the nomination.
From a verified voter in Helotes, TXIt is time to raise or eliminate the cap on payroll contributions to Social Security. It is ridiculous that average Americans sacrifice a portion of ever y dollar they earn for the greater good while the wealthy contribute a minuscule amount. Significantly raising the cap, or better still, eliminati
From a constituent in Harker Heights, TXI am writing to express my grave concerns regarding Elon Musk’s increasing and unchecked influence over U.S. government policy and national security. I firmly believe that Musk, as a billionaire and corporate magnate, has positioned himself as a “shadow president,” wielding power and control over go
From a verified voter in Houston, TXNo oligarchs!
Elon Musk was not born here. He came here illegally. He bought the election, which was not a landslide, and thinks he is now running this country. Please remember President Biden is still in office. I implore you to show a spine and stand up for the integrity of Congress. Ignore Musk’s bullying. You
From a constituent in Coleman, TXWheelchair accessibility at post offices
This is something that should have been addressed a long time ago. I live in Coleman, Texas. Our local post office does not have a ramp for those in wheelchairs and with disabilities. This is against the law according to the Americans With Disabilities Act. This could become a lawsuit. When my frien
From a verified voter in Hurst, TXThe federal government is the largest employer of retired veterans. Those veterans and the civil servants who keep this country running deserve to have job security - not fend off furlough the week before Christmas. Americans expect for their government to remain working and funded - not held to th
From a constituent in Austin, TXI urge you not to raise the debt ceiling as part of a continuing resolution. The debt ceiling is an important fiscal constraint that should be addressed separately through substantive negotiations on reducing the national debt. Raising it without any accompanying measures to rein in spending would b
From a constituent in Leander, TXSupport bold climate action to reach net-zero emissions
The Biden administration's announcement of an ambitious new climate goal to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 61% to 66% by 2035 is a crucial step in addressing the existential threat of climate change.

From a verified voter in Arlington, TXMusk has not been elected to any role in our government, he has not gone through any form of vetting or approval process by Congress. He is toxic and dangerous to American democracy, and, despite his money, his opinions must be given no more weight than any single American. No government shut
From a constituent in Lubbock, TXAvoid Government Shutdown
It is sadly clear that you are taking marching orders from an un-elected non-American without regard for how it will impact the people like me whom you were elected to represent. A government shutdown does not serve to do anything but harm everyone I know, my community, my city, all the people our s
From a verified voter in San Antonio, TXProtect the Press from the Trump Administration
We several opportunities to help prevent abuses to democracy from the incoming Trump administration. One such opportunity is to pass the Protect Reporters From Exploitative State Spying Act, or the PRESS Act, S. 2074, bipartisan legislation that would provide new and clear protections to journalists
From a verified voter in San Antonio, TXYou work for the people in your state, not Elon Musk. Voting against a bill to stop a government shutdown because a billionaire who isn’t an elected official nor an American told you to vote against it is shameful. That could be considered foreign interference. The people placed you in your job to
From a verified voter in Austin, TXVote NO on HR 9495
I urge you to vote no on H.R. 9495 to protect nonprofit organizations from being wrongly categorized as terrorist organizations and stripped of their tax-exempt status.

From a verified voter in San Antonio, TXPublished reports indicate the incoming administration has decided to blow-up the bipartisan continuing resolution.
