From a verified voter in Blacksburg, VAStop Rafah invasion!
I write to you today with the utmost urgency regarding the escalating situation in Rafah. Despite warnings from its allies, Israel has initiated a ground invasion into Rafah, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis. Mere months ago, Israel issued evacuation orders for millions of people to
From a constituent in North Chesterfield, VAOppose HR 6090, protect free speech on campuses
HR 6090 poses a serious threat to freedom of speech on college campuses. By codifying a broad definition of anti-Semitism that encompasses criticism of Israeli policies, the bill risks chilling legitimate political discourse and peaceful protests related to the ongoing war in Gaza. While combating a
From a constituent in Williamsburg, VATrans Americans need safety and protections
In the news, we only hear about trans women. We hear outcries from cis folks about a trans person using the toilet and misogynistic belief that cis women have a physical disadvantage if trans women play sports alongside them. We are so entrenched in transphobia that some permit the sexist assumption
From a verified voter in Carrollton, VAHR 6090 is a violation of the 1st amendment and encourages murder
This proposed legislation undermines the fundamental right to freedom of speech enshrined in the First Amendment. It represents an alarming effort to shield a foreign government from criticism and accountability, even in the face of credible allegations of grave human rights violations and ethnic cl
From a constituent in Chesterfield, VAConcerns with Antisemitism Awareness Act's Free Speech Implications
The proposed Antisemitism Awareness Act raises concerns about government overreach in defining and regulating speech related to antisemitism.

From a verified voter in Blacksburg, VASudan imminent humanitarian catastrophe
We are facing an imminent humanitarian catastrophe in El Fashur, Sudan. Up to 1,000,000 lives are at risk, and we cannot remain silent. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are perpetrating violence, terror, and mass atrocities against innocent civilians. It's time to take action! I urge you to pressure i
From a verified voter in Midlothian, VAI’m writing in support of student antiwar encampments at universities across the country and around the world. They reflect the values of the majority of Americans who want US money, weapons, and protection out of Israel and an end to the genocide in Gaza. Call on the administrations and local gover
From a verified voter in Petersburg, VAEnsuring Veteran Connectivity: The Urgent Need to Pass the ACP Extension Act
As a decorated and disabled U.S. Army combat veteran and a staunch advocate for veterans' rights, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative impact that the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has had on my fellow veterans' lives.

From a verified voter in Norfolk, VAClose the stepped-up basis loophole
I am writing to urge your immediate attention to the critical issue of the stepped-up basis loophole in our tax system. This loophole, which disproportionately benefits the wealthiest Americans, undermines the fairness and integrity of our tax code. As your constituent, I implore you to take action
From a verified voter in Blacksburg, VAAid package vote
I am writing with deep grief that you have chosen to vote to send more money to commit a genocide against the Palestinian people. Do the thousands of dead not affect you? Do you not know of the hundreds in mass graves outside of hospitals? The only explanations for your actions are criminal ignoranc
From a verified voter in Midlothian, VAI’m furious to see that more aid money was passed to fund Israel’s genocide in Palestine. Our elected officials have clearly decided to put the interests of Israel before the interests of their own constituents, and more horrifying, before basic humanity. Shame. We voters will remember this betrayal
From a constituent in Springfield, VANational security
Gentlemen, My thanks to you for your votes in favor of the national security bill. Sincerely,
From a constituent in Centreville, VAADHD medication and the DEA
Please restrain the DEA from attempting to restrict, malign, or in any way screw around with people's ADHD medication they need to function on a daily ba sis.

From a constituent in Virginia Beach, VAThank You For Your Time and Service.
Excuse me, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to kindly express my thoughts regarding your recent decision to step down from your positions in the senate. It would have been much appreciated if you had communicated your intentions earlier, as it has caused distress among those who rely on
From a verified voter in Alexandria, VANo military aid to Israel
I have been happy to see you speaking out in support of the Palestinian people during Israel’s genocide, and I want to encourage you to continue to do so. Please vote against military aid to Israel. We all know it’s going to be used for slaughter.
From a verified voter in Lynchburg, VAPlease Vote NO on Saturday
I am strongly opposed to a TikTok ban, as well as the large amount of support being sent to Israel. We have real problems right here in the USA that could be solved by keeping aid in to his country but that seems to be unnecessary to act upon expediently by elected officials. TikTok should not be
From a verified voter in Vinton, VAUkraine Aid package
I am writing to express my support for the Ukraine aid package that is coming up for a vote this week. US support for our allies is vital, and I believ e that with bipartisan cooperation we can continue to give Ukraine the tools it needs to resist invasion from an authoritarian country. Thank you.
From a constituent in Chesterfield, VA"No" Vote on Saturday
gly opposed to a TikTok ban, as well as the large amount of support being sent to Israel. We have real problems right here in America and yet the 300 foo t view of our very own country seems to be invisible to elected officials. This is the third time that I am taking the time to contact you. Usuall
From a verified voter in Williamsburg, VAPlease sign HB 224 and HB 546
As a Virginia resident, I am concerned about legislative attacks on the LGBTQ+ community during the General Assembly session - specifically, attacks on transgender and nonbinary youth.

From a constituent in Arlington, VASupport the Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act of 2024
The expiration of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) in May 2024 threatens to leave 23 million households without crucial high-speed internet services.

Do not vote to authorize RISSA. Spying on Americans is unconstitutional.
From a constituent in Poquoson, VAReconsider FISA Reform Act: Protect Privacy and Competitive Advantage
The FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act of 2023, which expands the definition of "electronic communication service providers" (ECSPs), raises serious concerns about privacy and competitive disadvantage for U.S. companies. The broadened definition could compel a wide range of businesses to assist in
From a constituent in Alexandria, VANo more money to Israel
Imagine if any other embassy anywhere had been targeted…that country intervening would be not only considered justified…but it would be aided by the US. Israel is the architect of its own destruction. They’ve been fucking around (with our unconditional help and probably on our behalf) for too long
From a constituent in Richmond, VANo on FISA
As a constituent I urge you to vote ‘NO’ on the reauthorization of FISA unless the backdoor and data broker loopholes are closed. Warrantless surveillance of Americans is out of control.
From a constituent in Herndon, VAYou must do everything in your power to provide Ukraine funding. We are at a dangerous crossroads and are reaching as point of collapse of the fight for something now before it is too late. Once the front line collapsed all of the blood will be on Congress's hands. Act now! Right now. democracy. Ukr
