HHS cuts will kill Americans

Today was a shameful massacre across HHS, where thousands of workers found out they and their programs were gutted when they lost access to their building. It is disgusting and shameful that this is allowed to happen while Russel Vought and RFK Jr are cheering this on. Do we really want to be a

Opposing SAVE Act to protect voter rights

The proposed SAVE Act seeks to impose stringent requirements for proving U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections. This includes presenting specific forms of documentary proof like passports, birth certificates or naturalization records. While safeguarding election integrit

Greenland is a sovereign nation

Why are you wasting our time and tax dollars by investigating the feasibility of taking over Greenland? Why are you not speaking up about the waste of that endeavor? Greenland is a sovereign nation. We have no business in trying to take it over. It would start an international war. Lives would be

Stop Ignoring the Signal Scandal — Uphold National Security and Accountability

I’m writing as a deeply concerned constituent, outraged by the ongoing silence and inaction around reports that classified information was shared over the Signal app by individuals closely tied to Donald Trump. If this had involved any Democrat, your outrage would’ve been immediate and relentless.

Vote against HR1526

I am a constituent writing to ask you to vote AGAINST HR 1526. This act is an overt and direct attack on our democracy. History will record which side you stand upon. Your name. Your vote. Your action or inaction will be forever listed as one who either fought for democracy or one who ceded power to

Vote against SJ Res 18

I would like to ask a question and to ask you to fight for every Nebraskan. What good does SJ Res 18 do for the common Nebraskans who voted for you? Who EXACTLY does it benefit? Removing the limitations to bank fees benefits no one except big banks. Someone who has an overdraft doesn’t need another

Demand Accountability for Breach of National Security

I’m writing to express my deep concern about the serious breach of national security involving a reporter being added to a Signal group chat where highly classified information was shared. This is a reckless and dangerous lapse in judgment, and it cannot be swept under the rug. I remember vividly h

Questions for Representative Bacon not addressed at the Town Hall

I had a few questions I was hoping you’d answer at the town hall, so I’m hoping you answer them now. 1. Regarding the allegations that the US destroyed evidence of Russian war crimes in Ukraine, will you push for an investigation to determine what occurred and who was responsible? Will you hold the

Signal usage a fireable offense

According to a recent piece by NPR: “Several days after top national security officials accidentally included a reporter in a Signal chat about bombing Houthi sites in Yemen, a Pentagon-wide advisory warned against using the messaging app, even for unclassified information. "A vulnerability has b

OPPOSE AM545 to LB415!

I’m writing as your constituent to urge you to oppose AM545 to LB415, which would weaken the voter-approved paid sick leave law (Initiative 436). In November, nearly 75% of Nebraskans voted in favor of this initiative, including voters in 89 of 93 counties and a majority in every single legislative

END HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE IN DETENTION CENTERS NOW!

I am writing to express my deep outrage and horror at the ongoing human rights violations taking place in ICE detention facilities across the United States. Immigrants, many of them asylum seekers—are being kidnapped, disappeared, and held in what survivors themselves describe as concentration camps

Restore weather balloon launches for accurate forecasts

The decision to suspend weather balloon launches at the Omaha and Rapid City offices is a concerning development that could potentially impact the accuracy and timeliness of weather forecasting in our region. While the National Weather Service has assured that other data collection methods will be u

Support education, don’t dismantle it

This executive order by the Trump Administration will have disastrous consequences for our schools and our children. It means fewer resources for special education and teacher training. It means less individualized attention to the learning needs of our students. Who will oversee the federal Indiv

Get Musk out

What is Musk doing? Why as an "advisor" does he get access to absolutely everything? You think this unelected billionaire is in it for the good of the country? You're gonna let this immigrant take the job of a U.S. citizen (t.rump)? This has gone too far for too long. I'm going to need you all to ac

Defend judicial oversight and separation of powers

The President's recent actions and statements show a blatant disregard for the judiciary and separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution. By claiming the executive branch has absolute power over certain areas like immigration and is not subject to judicial review, even from federal judges, th

Have we joined the list of dictatorships that “disappear” people?

The administration's refusal to provide evidence or identify deported individuals raises serious due process concerns. Detaining and deporting people without transparency or oversight is an unacceptable violation of civil liberties that sets a dangerous precedent. Disappearing migrants with alleged

Protect students’ right to public education

The proposed executive order to dismantle the Department of Education threatens to undermine essential services and protections for students across the country. It is crucial to safeguard the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which ensures access to education for students with disabilitie

Defying Judge Boasburg’s Order

We have entered a constitutional crisis. The Trump administration has ignored Judge Boasburg’s orders and has gone on social media to request his impeachment! No President can ignore a judges orders, not ask for impeachment because you don’t agree with his/her order. We have a system of checks and

Defend judicial authority - uphold Constitution, check executive overreach

The administration's decision to deport hundreds of alleged gang members to El Salvador despite a federal judge's order blocking such removals raises serious concerns about respect for the rule of law and the separation of powers. While the government claims the written order came after the deportat

Do Your Job and Uphold the Constitution

I am writing to you as a constituent who expects you to uphold the oath you took to defend the United States Constitution. That includes respecting the checks and balances that define our democracy—something that, at this moment, is under direct attack. Regardless of political views, one principle s

Honor our Arlington Heroes

I I am deeply disturbed by recent reports that Arlington National Cemetery has removed web pages honoring Black, Hispanic, and women veterans, as well as certain Medal of Honor recipients. This action, stemming from Trump's executive order eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiat

Protect your retired, elderly and disabled constituents

I’ve paid into Social Security for almost 40 years. Are you really willing to gut Roosevelt’s plan to help struggling Americans? Are you comfortable threatening millions of Americans’ economic security just so you can hand Elon Musk a tax cut? I live frugally and am a smart investor. Elon Musk is a

Release Mahmoud Khalil

Please advocate for the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil. I am a very concerned citizen of the United States. One of our core values as a nation is that of freedom of speech. We know at the foundation of our nation we are able to agree or disagree with our leadership or each other. More important

I’m writing to voice my continued concern regarding DOGE’s access to my personal and sensitive information, and to demand that you put a stop to this unlawful access. At the Social Security Administration, it’s is currently unknown what level of access that DOGE has. Even with “read only” access, t

I am staunchly opposed to LB3, which seeks to dismantle Nebraska's unique split electoral vote system in presidential elections. This system has served our state well for over 30 years by ensuring every Nebraskan's voice is heard and encouraging presidential candidates to campaign here. Eliminating

Oppose the SAVE act

I am writing to you as a constituent who opposes the SAVE act. This is a wasteful redundant law that will cause more harm than good. It is already against the law for people who are not citizens to vote. We already have systems in place to prevent that. Our voting system is already robust and secure

URGENT NEED TO CONTINUE SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE

I am writing to urge you to continue funding and defending Ukraine in its fight for sovereignty and democracy. The United States has long stood as a beacon of freedom and a defender against tyranny. We cannot abandon Ukraine to the brutal aggression of Putin’s regime—doing so would embolden dictator

You have the power of the purse, not Musk

From what I understand, Elon Musk (now publicly identified by Donald Trump as the head of DOGE) met separately with Republican senators and House Republicans recently regarding his cuts to the federal government. According to multiple sources, Musk handed out his phone number so that U.S. elected

Protect National forests from logging.

We need to protect America’s national forests. They are an irreplaceable treasure. We already have sustainable logging practices in place and we do not need to sacrifice our local ecosystems to make a profit for a logging company. Our national forests and our national parks are one aspect that makes
