SAVE OUR LIBRARIES! Countless people in our state depend on library services for a WIDE variety of reasons. Don’t let small-minded, fearful bigots win. STOP SB 536. This bill helps NO ONE.

Reject Disruptive Tariffs, Support Free Trade for Economic Growth

The Senate's bipartisan vote to revoke tariffs on Canadian imports represents a significant rebuke of the President's protectionist trade policies. These tariffs will harm American consumers and businesses by driving up costs and potentially triggering retaliatory measures from a close ally. The maj

I am appalled with the crudeness of the Senator from Indiana who told a federal worker he lost his job, probably because he deserved it. This was recorded and is circulating on social media. The fired worker asked, Why do I deserve it? The senator replied "because you look like a clown. " This is

Protect Arkansas libraries - prioritize access to educational resources

This proposed legislation to dissolve the Arkansas State Library and its governing board represents a concerning overreach that could undermine access to crucial educational and informational resources for communities across the state.

Reject HB 1837

I understand the desire to keep Arkansans voting for Arkansan issues, but further restrictions on the ballot initiative process will only serve to hurt Arkansas residents' ability to choose what we want to go into effect. Leave the freedom of choice in the hands of the voters. If we want to pass a b

Prioritize literacy initiatives and protect freedom to read

The ability to read and comprehend language is foundational for personal growth, economic opportunity, and civic engagement. Literacy unlocks the doors to knowledge, creativity, and self-expression. It is deeply concerning that literacy rates in our nation are declining, a trend that undermines the

From a verified voter in Clinton, AR

I cannot recommend passing a bill that aims to increase school safety without substantive action on the root causes. While panic alarms may help during an active incident, they do not prevent such tragic events from occurring in the first place. We need comprehensive reform to address rampant gun vi

stand with our allies, stop imperialism

Stop Trumps imperialist rhetoric regarding Canada and Greenland. If we try to take them in any way, we’re no better than Putin invading Ukraine. We can work together with our allies (not Russia) for common defense if needed. A united west is strong and Trumps policies are weakening our strong and va

End the Concentration Camps

It is obscene that we are, once again, holding people in concentration camps. There is no excuse for what's happening in Miami, especially not considering we've done this before, during Trump's first term, and this horrifically inhumane practice received severe backlash from the public then as well.

From a constituent in Harrison, AR

I remember when Bill Clinton lied about a blow job and everyone lost their minds. Y'all are a bunch of cowards. Arkansas deserves better representation.

STOP breaking social security! This is not an entitlement!

How is DOGE closing social security offices in Arkansas without notifying Congress. As part of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts, two Social Security Administration (SSA) offices in Arkansas, located at 965 Holiday Drive in Forrest City and 4083 Jefferson Ave. in Texarkana, are exp

Restore crucial public health grants to protect American lives.

This is an outrageous and reckless move by the Trump administration that will have devastating consequences for public health across the country.

Urgent Action Needed on Child Labor Violations in Arkansas

I am writing to express my deep concern over the alarming rise in child labor law violations in Arkansas, as highlighted in the recent report from Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families.

National security

If the defense secretary doesn’t understand the security risks of using signal, he cannot be trusted with the rest of the security required for his position. Completely unacceptable.

From a constituent in Jacksonville, AR

My family has been in America since the 1700s. I am beginning to feel like cattle, especially when I read that ALL recipients of Social Security benefits have to appear in person with documents to verify identity. What about elderly in nursing homes? Are they going to bus these sick people to a loc

Stop the Dismantling of the DoE

The Trump administration's threats against the Department of Education has absolutely no positive outcomes. This will only harm already underserved schools. If we care about our children and our future at all, we need to push back against this blatant attack. The only reason any administration, rega

STOP HIM

I’m dismayed to see how our President is dismantling America. Everything I hold dear is under assault at once. You’re supposed to defend the Constitution. What are you doing to stop him? Act while you can or he’ll usurp your power, too.

From a constituent in Jacksonville, AR

Where is the proof that Social Security is full of fraud? If there is evidence, produce it. It is not enough to say, "I found fraud" That would not hold up in any court of law anywhere. I am upset because of all the widows whose only income is Social Security. These ladies should not have to worr
