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
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.
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
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!
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.

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. Privatizing this crucial infrastructure would be detrimental to American citizens and businesses that rely on affordable, reliable
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? I know since Republicans are so sensitive about Clinton’s emails that you will protect us from the drunk guy too. Right?
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. While the administration's stated commitment to combating leaks is commendable, this incident represen
Do not allow H. Res. 7 to pass! H.R.7 would deny women access to health insurance coverage that includes abortion coverage, by taking away tax certain tax deductions and premium tax credits used to help pay for the cost of health insurance coverage. The verbiage “Whereas health care for women should
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
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
Congress must fight back
The U.S. government's decision to deny entry to a French scientist solely based on personal opinions expressed in private communications is deeply concerning and violates core democratic values of free speech and academic freedom. This overstep by border authorities sets a dangerous precedent that t
Protect education
The education of our nation's children should be a top priority, as it lays the foundation for their future success. Dismantling the Department of Education would be detrimental to students across the country, particularly those from low-income families, rural areas, and students with disabilities w
Measles and bird flu
Urge RFK to promote science-based solutions to the measles and bird flu outbreaks. His offbeat ideas will harm Americans, waste money, and make us less healthy. If the executive branch is unequipped to handle these crises, we need our representatives to apply pressure or law-based solutions.
West Virginia needs a strong department of education
West Virginia needs the department of education, a wide range of federal grants, and numerous other services which are being indiscriminately cut. Get Musk the out of our business!!! Use your powers in Congress to intercept the worst of these half baked ideas.
Richest man in the world drowns-out the voices of everyday Americans
Corporations, special interest groups, and some of the wealthiest people in the country are spending billions of dollars to influence our elected leaders – essentially using a megaphone to try to drown out the voices of everyday Americans. It’ll be easier for you to do your jobs if we end/overturn
YOU were elected, not Musk. Don’t let him take your job.
Musk was not elected yet he seems to be running the country now. Shutting down domestic services and meddling in international policy and the military. Take back your power in Congress! Stop all the uncertainty and knee-jerk policy. Do your job!!!
Soon it will be too late
Trump is testing the boundaries of our legal system and pushing, daily, into illegal activities. It’s time to put a stop to it. If you value the rule of law and value our democracy, draw the line NOW while Congress has at least some leverage. Soon it will be too late.
Protect political dissenters' rights, stop deportations of activists
Deporting individuals based on their political activism and dissenting views is an unacceptable abuse of power that undermines democratic principles. The arrest of Jeanette Vizguerra, an immigrant rights advocate working to support families like her own, sends a chilling message that exercising free
Scrutinize DOGE's involvement with USPS to protect independence
The Postal Service plays a vital role in our nation's infrastructure and should be protected from undue outside interference that could undermine its operations or lead to privatization efforts. While improving efficiency is a laudable goal, allowing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) te
Stop this insanity Stand up and say NO to Trump and Musk! Represent our beautiful state- not yourselves.
Don’t cave on congressionally directed spending - work for WV!
The power of the purse is a crucial counterbalance against executive overreach, as intended by the framers of the Constitution. Congress must assert its authority as a co-equal branch of government and refuse to enable any abuse of power or violation of democratic norms through its spending decision
Stop Trump From Using DEI As An Excuse to Further His Agenda
The Trump Administration’s list of flagged words is an insult to the American people. The Trump Administration is using DEI and the myth of “woke” ideology to execute their agenda. Using DEI and Equal Opportunity as a guise for their prejudiced and flagrant attack on the American people, including t
DOGE bad for WV
Please do everything you can to reign-in DOGE. They’re gonna hurt real people who need services such as the elderly, the poor, people needing healthcare, veterans. Please stand up to this overly aggressive approach. It’s not efficient.
Reinstate affordable housing preservation funds to prevent homelessness crisis.
The Trump administration's termination of the $1 billion Green and Resilient Retrofit Program threatens the affordability and livability of tens of thousands of low-income housing units across the country.
