From a constituent in Batavia, ILStop these executive orders!
What is wrong with this administration? The complete incompetence and the callous desire to hurt every day Americans??? It’s a way to make America terrible again, circa 2016 to 2020, but this time is way worse. These new tariffs are only going to hurt the economy and every day consumers. Gutting i
From a constituent in Woodridge, ILNo due process and using our tax dollars for imprisonment?!
Get these deported folks back! I am almost as sad and angry as the child separation. Like all of us we want criminals deported, but they knew darn well that not all those folks are criminals. It is also distressing that our tax dollars are being used to pay for their jailing. (And probably torture)
From a verified voter in Woodridge, ILSave our democracy now
Stop this insane over-reach! It is not for the president to decide the ideology which governs exhibits and research at The Smithsonian. It’s bad enough he’s taken over the operation of The Kennedy Center (also inappropriate over-reaching). This needs to stop now! He does not get to unilaterally deci
From a verified voter in Bolingbrook, ILUphold your Oath of Allegiance
Not sure if you saw this, but the Musk/Trump administration is incapable of defending national security interests. How in the world does that wayward drunk Pete Hegseth still have a job after the events of today? How does the Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard still have any security clearance after today?
From a constituent in Woodridge, ILCruelty, what does he have over the GOP?
Where are the Democratic Millionaires and billionaires, where are the zoom calls to raise money. I keep being asked for money and I am on disability, and Medicare and I have given as much as I can. I am devastated by how the people have been treated that were deported, it's just all about the cruel
From a constituent in Naperville, ILProtect Funding for PKD Research
I’m writing to express my deep concern over the proposed $859 million cut (57%) to the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) in the recently released House version of the Continuing Resolution (CR). This drastic reduction would reduce CDMRP funding to only $650 million for the r
From a constituent in Geneva, ILStop Trump's E.O. Attacks on Federal Funding for Libraries!
In a new executive order, President Trump has targeted the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the federal agency charged with distributing congressionally approved funds to state libraries and to library, museum, and archives program grant recipients. The Executive Order says that IMLS
From a constituent in Geneva, ILRein in DOGE's disruptive overreach undermining IRS operations
The IRS plays a critical role in the functioning of our government and economy by collecting revenue and processing tax returns for millions of Americans. The reckless actions taken by DOGE under the guise of "rooting out waste and fraud" are severely undermining the agency's operations and threaten
From a verified voter in Woodridge, ILRelease Mahmoud Khalil now! His detention is an assault on the US Constitution. Our country was founded on the principle of free speech and it was unlawful and wrong to detain him. This is a democracy. Stop treating the office of the president like a dictatorship. Do not ever detain another American
From a constituent in Warrenville, ILStop ‘DOGE’
Please do not sign this spending bill. At this point I would rather have no federal government than a bad faith administration intent on destroying what’s left of our democracy.
From a constituent in Wauconda, ILSafeguard Education Department to ensure equal opportunities
The Education Department serves as a critical lifeline for millions of disadvantaged students nationwide, working to uphold equal educational opportunities and defend the rights of those facing unfair barriers to learning success. Its core mission centers on strengthening federal commitment to acces
From a verified voter in Bolingbrook, ILAdam Schiff had clear messaging about the CR. Democrats must act together to vote no. Let the Republicans own this.
From a constituent in Wauconda, ILReject the Republicans funding bill
The Republican-controlled Congress has passed a government funding bill without any input from Democrats. This partisan approach is unacceptable and undermines the principles of our democratic system. The bill boosts military spending while cutting critical domestic programs that support American fa
From a verified voter in Batavia, ILVote NO on the CR!! As Ron Wyden says, “I’m voting no on the CR. Trump and Musk are taking a wrecking ball to vital services for veterans, seniors and kids. I will not support a bill that helps them do it. I will support a clean 30 day CR.”
From a verified voter in Marengo, ILVote NO on the budget CR
I am writing to urge you to vote NO on the Republican Continuing Budget Resolution. And also please vote NO on cloture. If Republicans are not going to curb Trump’s usurpation of power and are not going to engage in bipartisan efforts then democrats should hold the line and force them to. Thank y
From a constituent in Batavia, ILRestore vital international education and exchange funding
I am writing to request that you use your congressional authority to demand that the U.S. State Department release the federal funds it is withholding from all Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs grantees. The expiration date for what was described as a temporary 15-day funding pause was Fe
From a verified voter in Bolingbrook, ILYou have been elected to fight for a better country and upholding our democratic values. Keep this front of mind when casting your votes. Ask yourself if your vote will promote democracy. Thank you
From a verified voter in Elgin, ILNo support on CR even if it means shutdown!
Absolutely no Democratic support for the disastrous Republican Agenda and that includes the CR. Even if it means a shutdown. The people need to feel what they are doing. If they are going to destroy our country make sure it is wholly on them. Anyone that supports the CR or budget to come will never
From a verified voter in Woodridge, ILCancel the tariffs and save the DOE
The tariffs are not going to have the magical effect this administration imagines - they will have disastrous impacts on the working class - not helpful at all. The entire concept needs to be cancelled. The DOE is crucial to our youngest minds, especially any and all with challenges and special ne
From a verified voter in Batavia, ILRaise the Social Security Cap
Raise the cap on Social Security in order to keep it solvent. The rich need to pay their fair share.
From a verified voter in Woodridge, ILProtect my social security benefits
Do not touch my social security!! I’ve been working for over 50 years and will continue working - I trust and expect my benefits to remain intact!! Do not allow this administration to touch my benefits. If I have to send you daily letters on what I need from you, I shall. I’ve never been more upset
From a verified voter in Woodridge, ILRestore funding NOW!
Please restore funding of USAID NOW!! People are suffering and starving. Reaching out and helping others in dire circumstances globally is what this nation is all about. Make us proud to be Americans again, because at the moment I’m more embarrassed than proud.
From a constituent in Belvidere, ILNo Taxation Without Representation
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the role of Congress in governing the allocation of public funds and defining the scope of federal power. As the elected legislative body representing the American people, Congress holds the constitutional authority to determine how taxpayer dollars
