From a constituent in Holladay, UTWhile you're voting on whether to take healthcare away from millions of impoverished Americans, the president is throwing a $45 million dollar military festival for his birthday? Shame on him and shame on Congress for allowing him to carry on in this way. He's taking things away that mean everything
From a constituent in Holladay, UTPlease do something to get more water into the Great Salt Lake. The consequences of letting it die are overwhelmingly bad for the population, and I know it's impossible to win with the super-majority in our legislature, and that it is primarily composed of land developers who are more interested in
From a verified voter in Layton, UTOpposition to the "Interstate Obscenity Definition Act" (IODA)

From a constituent in Salt Lake City, UTPass legislation limiting executive powers or initiate impeachment proceedings

From a verified voter in North Salt Lake, UTHUMAN RIGHTS
More reports are coming in on what is happening to children in facilities at the border. This is happening again; just like the firs t time DJT was president. These are human rights violations and he needs to be held accountable. As a parent, I'm pleading with you to speak up
From a constituent in South Jordan, UTUphold civil liberties, suspend unconstitutional Alien Enemies Act
The Alien Enemies Act grants the President excessive authority to deport certain non-citizens without constitutionally-mandated due process during purported invasions or attacks.

From a constituent in Holladay, UTThe ethical violations and questionable practices coming from this administration and his family are staggering. Why Congress is helping him increase his own personal finances at the expense of the country he is supposed to be leading is a baffling question. Please hold him accountable to the same e
From a constituent in Saint George, UTDefend Congressional oversight of DHS immigration facilities

From a constituent in Holladay, UTPushing financial responsibility for SNAP onto the states increases the likelihood that some states will cut the benefits, thus increasing food insecurity in American households.

From a constituent in Salt Lake City, UTCondemn Qatari influence, investigate Trump's corruption allegations
The alleged Qatari financing of a private jet for former President Trump is a blatant violation of laws prohibiting foreign influence in US elections and government affairs.

From a constituent in Park City, UTA bribe is still a bribe if the whole world sees
You know the plane is a problem right? Or are you too dumb even for that. Resign anyway. Utah has had enough of your nonsense. Or decide to start actually doing your job.
From a verified voter in Salt Lake City, UTStop Ignoring Trump’s Corruption—Do Your Job

From a verified voter in Ivins, UTThe ethics of receiving a $400M gift
It appears that the Trump administration is actually proceeding with plans to accept a $400 million jet from the Qatari government. This literally flies in the face of established ethics practices and the emoluments clause of Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8 of the US Constitution. If Joe Biden had
From a constituent in Holladay, UTAllowing white South Africans to seek asylum in the US due to "discrimination" while removing the possibility of asylum from brown refugees fleeing actual war and famine is the most disgustingly overt racism I have seen yet from this administration.

From a constituent in Sandy, UTStop Foreign Influence: Oppose Trump’s $400M Jet from Qatar
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding President Donald Trump's reported plan to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 jet, valued at approximately $400 million, from Qatar's royal family. This aircraft is intended to serve as a temporary Air Force One and later be transferred to his presidential
From a constituent in Salt Lake City, UTInvestigate Qatar's Gift of Air Force One for Potential Corruption
The proposed gift of a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar to be used as Air Force One for President Trump raises serious ethical and legal concerns.

From a constituent in Holladay, UTCutting funding to FEMA training going into hurricane season has potentially disastrous consequences. Since we've decided not to do anything to fix climate change, natural disasters are increasing not only in scale but also in frequency. FEMA has never been more crucial than it is now, and cutting t
From a constituent in Holladay, UTWhat is happening at Delaney Hall that is so abhorrent it's worth arresting a sitting mayor and threatening to arrest three Democratic Congress people to prevent oversight? A federal detention center that is holding immigrant detains on US soil should not be doing anything bad enough to require that
From a verified voter in Ivins, UTSTOP the defunding of the National Endowment for the Arts!
As a Utah voter I respectfully request that you work to protect the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Although the NEA has enjoyed bipartisan support for decades, I understand there are efforts to not only redirect funding away from current and previously funded programing, but also to defund
From a constituent in Sandy, UTDo NOT let Trump suspend habeas corpus. The fact they’re even openly considering is appalling and terrifying. Stand up and DO YOUR JOB. Stand against this!

From a constituent in Salt Lake City, UTInvestigate DOGE activities, prevent data breaches, protect national security
