FREE KSENIA PETROVA

As you are aware, the federal government has charged Harvard research scientist Ksenia Petrova with felony smuggling after she inadvertently failed to report some frog embryos which she brought back to the US with her as part of her research. This is an absurd charge, for the obvious reason that th

I am TIRED of my representative and senators doing NOTHING to STOP tRumP and his assault on our democratic norms and our constitution.

Speak up for thoughtful immigration reform and stop to military force

I am a mother of two school-age children, a teacher, and a proud member of my community in Waukesha, Wisconsin. I am outraged at the aggression being shown towards immigration by our president and policies at this moment. Our systems of immigration have been a mess for some time, and absolutely need

Glenn Grothman has just introduced a bill to reopen Alcatraz. This is one of the dumber things he’s done. Alcatraz closed 62 years ago. It was a disgusting mess in the early 80s when I was there. It will cost millions and millions to make habitable. Does Glenn understand there’s no bridge and that w

Protect Our Digital Rights and Internet Freedoms

As your constituent from Kenosha County, Wisconsin, I am writing to express my strong opposition to three recent legislative proposals: the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), the SCREEN Act, and the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act.

Commemorate the Nakba

Today, we commemorate the Nakba, or the beginning of the Zionist expulsion of Palestinians in 1948 to pave the way for the creation of Israel. Oftentimes, we seem to portray this conflict as being between two groups of people who just couldn’t agree to share the land. This isn’t the case. In 194

The budget bill is being called “ The Big Beautiful Bill”. That is definitely a misnomer, as it’s actually 100% fiscally irresponsible! Trump has Musk come in and willynilly slash positions, departments and programs. Most of those slashes were to protect Musk from investigations, however it was bill

Reunite 2-Year-Old Child with Her Deported Parents

I’m writing to urgently call your attention to the deportation of Maiker Espinoza Escalona and Yorley Bernal Inciarte, the Venezuelan parents of a 2-year-old daughter now stranded in U.S. foster care.

Oppose reconciliation package

I’m deeply opposed to Republican’s reconciliation package. The cuts to Medicaid and SNAP are unacceptable, but there’s so much more. I oppose the provision that would give AI a blank check for the next ten years. I oppose the provision that would allow the Trump administration to sell off our public

Will someone please explain to me why Republicans insist on lying about everything? How many times did they “claim” they would not cut Medicaid? There’s no way to count the number of times they said “No we’re not cutting Medicaid”. Now the budget bill is full of massive cuts to Medicaid! 1.5 Millio

Oppose ECCA in Budget Reconciliation

I’m writing to urge you to oppose language from the Educational Choice for Children Act in the budget reconciliation bill. This provision is a scam that gives wealthy people tax shelters and sends billions of dollars to private schools — while our public schools are already underfunded.

Reject harmful Medicaid cuts, protect healthcare access

The proposed cuts to Medicaid by House Republicans are deeply concerning and threaten to strip millions of Americans of vital health care coverage. Implementing harsh work requirements, increasing bureaucratic hurdles for eligibility, and slashing federal funding would create significant barriers fo

No Medicaid cuts to benefit the rich

I am outraged that republicans in Congress are considering cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical programs in order to give massive tax breaks to the rich. Republicans are taking food away from children and denying health care to those who need it most so that billionaires can get even richer.

Start Taxing the rich! Stop the corruption!

When I pay my taxes, I am investing in society. Society functions well when we have excellent schools, a healthy population and quality services. The idea that my taxes should be paid to make wealthy people and corporations wealthier is truly disgusting to me. The thought that this huge wealth tr

This is aimed primarily at Rep. Bryan Steil but I also want to remind Senator Ron Johnson of who he represents as well. You represent us, the everyday, working people, not large corporations.
