Control the Tariffs Crippling Our Economy!

The bipartisan Bicameral Congressional Trade Authority Act seeks to reclaim Congress' constitutional authority over trade matters by requiring the executive branch to receive approval from Congress before taking certain trade actions like implementing tariffs. This legislation would enforce much-nee

Foreign Policy Nightmare

This country is upside down right now. With tariffs on our allies (Canada/Mexico), breaking our promise to Ukraine with the Minsk agreement, having China, Japan & South Korea band together against us. This foreign policy “strategy” if you could even call it that, is a nightmare disaster. We need to

Fire Musk!

Elon Musk is trying to run our government like it’s one of his companies. Our democracy deserves better. It’s time for the immediate firing of Elon Musk from ANY position of influence within our government. Musk’s dangerous influence must end now. It is time to restore power to the American people

I dare you to prove me wrong.

I support Sen. Cory Booker filibustering in the senate right now because so MANY things are going completely wrong right now in our country. We are flirting with authoritarianism, talking about 3rd terms for the presidency, tariffs for our allies, removing access to social security, Medicare, cuttin

Protect Free Speech

What is happening in our universities with green card and visa holders is absolutely sickening. I am very concerned that there have been around 300, per Secretary Rubio’s own admission detainments of people because the government decided we didn’t like what they had to say. IF WE CAN DISAPPEAR PEOPL

Demand accountability for egregious national security breach

I want to express my deep concerns over the recent Signal-Gate scandal involving senior Trump administration officials recklessly sharing classified military intelligence and operational details via an unsecured messaging app. This egregious breach of security protocols jeopardized potential mission

Social Security

Hands off our Social Security. Elon Musk and Donald Trump have no business meddling with our Social Security, which I’ve been paying into since 1976. This is unacceptable and dangerous. Signed: Concerned Patriots.

We have an incompetent leadership in the Department of Defense. Hold them accountable. Investigate why this happened to ensure it doesn’t happen again. This endangers our CIA and Military personel. The Administration and DOGE are making Social Security inefficient. They are making it nearly impossib

Dangerous National Security Pattern of Behavior and Lack of Accountability

The use of a commercially available communications app, Signal, to send official TOP SECRET, classified information regarding war plans is dangerous, negligent, and a complete slap in the face for our armed forces. We need these parties to resign now or be investigated for this.

Support American Education

A robust, nonpartisan system of local, state, and federal agencies is essential to ensuring that every student has access to high-quality learning opportunities and qualified and supported teachers, regardless of their zip code or economic status. I am profoundly concerned by recent federal efforts

Protect Democracy—Reject the SAVE Act

Every eligible person in our country should not only be allowed to vote—they should be encouraged and supported in doing so. It's shameful that this current administration is actively discouraging people from exercising this fundamental and foundational right. Nearly 21 million U.S. citizens of voti

Why you have to save the Department of Education. The Department of Education played a significant role in the scrutiny and eventual closure of Trump University, which was a for-profit education institution associated with Donald Trump. The primary concerns about Trump University were related to a

I am not in favor of a unitary executive. I am in favor of the separation of powers. I want Congress to follow the Constitution and stay in control of oversight, legislation and the purse. You took an oath the constitution - uphold it. We stood up to this following the robber barons of the guided ag

I am not in favor of a unitary executive. I am in favor of the separation of powers. I want Congress to follow the Constitution and stay in control of oversight, legislation and the purse. You took an oath the constitution uphold it. We stood up to this following the guided agenda and World War Two.

Citizen Demands

I demand that Donald Trump answer for his actions in his unlawful actions of disobeying the judge's orders which stated to CEASE further deportations. I demand Elon remove himself from the country or be removed by force, with or without his consent (he loves that). DOGE must be shut down and all tho

3/14/25 Zoom Townhall Without Bob Onder

I wanted Rep. Onder to know we had a very productive town hall zoom meeting without him where 61 of his constituents discussed the concerns we have about the dismantling of the federal government, valuable federal workers losing their jobs, SNAP Benefits being lost, social security benefits being on

Create an actually helpful budget and tax the ridge to cover the deficits

Write I am absolutely appalled by this administration’s attempts to force congressional representatives to approve a budget that allows them to continue their current actions which are harmful to their constituents and to our reputation in international politics. The choices are not the budget trump

Hands off Canada, Greenland, Mexico, & Panama!

Tell President Trump hands off Canada, Greenland, Mexico, and Panama! We are done with the Republican leadership’s lust for land and resources. The president and vice president have shown how little they understand geopolitics and international relations & they must change course. No American lives

Tariffs on Allies Must Stop

The Trump administrations tariffs are tanking the economy and are an open example of insider trading. We MUST STOP punishing our allies like Mexico and Canada and start learning to be a respectable world power. The way we’ve completely ceded control and influence in the last month is unacceptable.

Restore education research, support services for vulnerable students

These education cuts by the Trump administration's DOGE initiative are severely impacting critical programs that support students with disabilities, literacy research, and evidence-based teaching practices. Terminating contracts like Charting My Path, which provided invaluable assistance to nearly 1

Defend Congressional authority on trade and tariffs

It is concerning that Congress is considering abdication of its constitutional authority over trade and tariff policy. The separation of powers and system of checks and balances are foundational principles that prevent any single branch from accumulating excessive power. I urge you to uphold your re

From a verified voter in Jefferson City, MO

I wish to address major concerns over the Agency that is known as DOGE. The removal of federal employees would disrupt programs serving tens of millions of Americans. Families already struggling to pay for groceries would face losing SNAP and WIC. Seniors relying on Medicare or Medicaid would have t

Release Mahmoud Khalil and Protect Freedom

I'm writing to ask you to defend our constitutional right to protest, and demand the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil. Mahmoud is a lawful permanent resident who has been detained without charges in retaliation for exercising his First Amendment rights.

No Federal Funding CR without Guardrails

I'm writing to demand that you vote against any Continuing Resolution that doesn’t include enforceable guardrails for DOGE. Elon Musk and his team of computer hackers have no legal jurisdiction over how our government spends money. Congress must stop them and take back their constitutional power of

Social Security

It is not right to allow Elon Musk raid social security trying to break it. I depend on my social security to get by. I’m 74 years old and unable to work anymore due to arthritis. Besides, no one will hire me at this age. Please stand up for all the older folks who are struggling to get by as it is.

Require Comptroller General to issue Monthly reports

You should demand accountability and represent the will of the people. You should require the Comptroller General to issue monthly reports on presidential impoundments of appropriated funds.

From a verified voter in Jefferson City, MO

Common people, Not Billionaires. No more bribes.

As Congress prepares for a tough budget fight, I am reminding you that you work for the people—not billionaires. You were elected to represent everyone in America and must champion progress and empower the people. If you fail to do so, we will work to elect leaders who truly represent the people's w

Honor Veterans' Sacrifices - Fund Toxic Exposure Treatment

Veterans sacrificed everything defending our nation, enduring toxic exposures that ravaged their health. Eliminating the $23 billion Toxic Exposure Fund is an unconscionable betrayal, stripping urgently needed care from those suffering from burn pit-induced cancers, lung diseases, and neurological d

Protect National Forests from Logging

I’m writing to demand you to push back on the Trump administration’s executive order to increase timber production on our public lands and national forests. This move will dangerously bypass important environmental laws to destroy our public lands, harm wildlife, and compromise our safety, air and w
