Save NIOSH

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) plays a vital role in protecting workers across the United States. Its closure would leave a significant gap in occupational health research, recommendations, and surveillance efforts that ensure safe and healthy workplaces. I urge yo

Protect funding for arts and humanities endowments

The National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the Humanities play a vital role in supporting cultural programs that enrich communities across America. Cutting their funding would have devastating impacts, limiting access to the arts, stifling creativity, and depriving citizens of op

NIOSH Dismantling Hurts First Responders

I am writing regarding the abrupt closure of the NIOSH office in Morgantown, West Virginia. They assisted coal miners with black lung and with mine safety. They created safety harnesses for EMTs in ambulances. They investigated fire fighter fatalities nationwide. Closing this office hurts West Virgi

Local control

Please protect local control for WV communities. Vote no to HB2014. West Virginians know what's best for our local communities. Please don't undercut us for outside interests. Work with the local communities not against them.

Take the reins of government

Take the reins, Congress! Assume your role in the checks and balances of our government. Do not let DOGE walk all over services that we need in West Virginia. Do not allow the Trump administration to break the law.

Oppose HB 1526 (No Rogue Rulings Act)

I’m writing in opposition to H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act (“NORRA”), which threatens constitutional checks and balances and is therefore unAmerican. Judges must be able to apply the law and legal precedent separate from this administration's atypical feelings and preferences.

PLEASE DELIVER TO SEN BOOKER

Demand Better Treatment For Legal Immigrants

This country's immigration procedure needs to be improved. From ICE arresting the wrong people, needing better courts to process legal immigration, cleaner and less cramp detention centers, and preventing racial profiling. I agree, there are some bad characters that is making the good immigrants loo

Protect Legal Immigrants

As the child of an immigrant with many immigrant friends I am disheartened and frightened at the detentions of legal residents, asylum seekers, tourists, and even US citizens in recent weeks. America is great because we have due process for everyone, rather than kidnappings and disappearings. No Kin

Leave Medicaid alone.

In response to HB3518, I ask that you leave Medicaid alone. This is a lifeline for many West Virginians. Do not let the federal government influence your oath to protect your constituents in this great state. We are watching your voting records.

I can't believe I even have to say this but leave PBS and NPR alone. Just don't allow it. Free press is vital. The programming on PBS is...vital. Free speech and free press are under attack. Your job is to protect them.

The integrity of The Smithsonian and the National Zoo must be maintained. The current administration aims to rewrite our national history. We cannot allo w them to. Hands off the Smithsonian! Stand up to Trump and Vance before it is too late!

I urge you to vote NO on HB 3452, a bill that threatens the success of West Virginia’s adult workforce training programs by shifting them away from our established Career Technical Education (CTE) Centers. For years, adult workforce training programs have thrived under the guidance of local count

Demand due process and fair trials for asylum seekers

The recent deportation of Jerce Reyes Barrios, a Venezuelan soccer player and father of two, to a prison in El Salvador raises serious concerns about due process and human rights. According to his attorney, the evidence against him being a gang member is flimsy and limited to a tattoo and a common h

Vote NO on SB 579

I am writing to urge you to vote no on SB 579. The cities of West Virginia should have the right to take steps to protect vulnerable communities, even if the state as a whole hasn't done so. This bill accomplishes nothing but jeopardizing the safety and livelihoods of innocent people and taking away

Protect USPS from privatization and service cuts

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is a cherished public institution that provides essential services to communities across the country, especially in rural areas.

Stop blackmail of legal firms

President Trump recently withdrew an EO targeting the Paul Weiss law firm after they agreed to "dedicate the equivalent of $40 million in pro bono legal services over the course of President Trump's term to support" his administration. This is accepting a bribe, pure and simple. It is unethical and

Can you please reply to me with your statement regarding Hegseth, the release of battle plans to a journalist and the danger we all face do to his disregard of national security?

Investigate leak of classified military information, protect national security

The sharing of sensitive military operational details with an unaffiliated journalist is an unacceptable breach that poses serious risks to American service members and national security interests.

Support MCTEC and vocational schools in WV. Vote no on HB3452

I am writing you today to ask you to vote NO on HB3452. This bill will hurt MCTEC, which as you know is a large source for adult education and job creation here in Mercer County. We live in a poverty stricken area of West Virginia, and the folks who go to MCTEC and other vocational schools deserve a

Protect our military!

As a mama of a US soldier, I am IRATE. SecDef Hegseth and his merry band of idiots, including VP Vance put lives at risk. The fact that it didn’t turn out worse is purely based on luck — because not every journalist would have sat on information like the one from the Atlantic did. I want to

SB 579 would prohibit cities and towns in West Virginia from establishing local anti-discrimination ordinances that go beyond the protections outlined in state law. This bill takes away the ability of local governments to respond to the needs of their communities and disregards the will of their con

Protect EPA Regulations

In a recent statement, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin claimed that his agency's mission is to make it cheaper for Americans to buy cars, heat their homes, and run their businesses. These are good goals in themselves, but the EPA has always had the mandate of monitoring human health and the environmen
