North Carolina Open Letters

From a constituent in Maiden, NC

Stop the SAVE Act! This act, regardless of its intent, is so poorly conceived and written that it will result in the majority of women voters being prevented from voting. Women are citizens of the United States and, as such, have the right to vote as guaranteed by the 19th Amendment. Please vote

Congress must rein in unilateral tariff escalation, economic overreach

I am deeply concerned by the administration's sweeping application of tariffs through this executive order. These unilateral trade actions threaten to drive up costs significantly for American families and businesses, while inviting retaliation that could undermine U.S. economic strength. Rather tha

Please Stop the Stupid Tariffs

So pleased to see that absolutely everything is about to get significantly more expensive due to the stupidest trade war in history because nobody wants to tell the problematic grandpa who somehow is a personality cult despite having the world's worst personality that he shouldn't crash the global e

Reassert Congressional authority over tariffs and trade policy

The president's unprecedented use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose sweeping tariffs on our largest trading partners is a blatant abuse of power. The very act of imposing broad-based tariffs on all goods from Canada, Mexico, and China lacks any direct connection to

It’s time.

Between tariffs and the gutting of all aspects of our government, I see a day very soon where our society will enter an unknown territory. American history has seen its share of disasters, both natural and man made. The Trump administration is begging for the perfect storm where natural and man made

Please stop the tariffs

I’m outraged that Trump’s tariffs will make food, gas, and other essentials more expensive for American families like mine. These tariffs will disrupt supply chains, raise costs for businesses, and put hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk. l ask that you reclaim Congress’s authority and work to bl

Who is going to replace our 401(k) funds that are being decimated thanks to Trump’s ridiculous tariffs? We don’t have twenty years to recover from this latest blow. Who is going to hire the hundreds of thousands of federal workers who were just illegally laid off into an economy that is now facing a

STOP THESE TARIFFS!! They are a catastrophic for our economy!!! Trump ran on a platform of bringing inflation down and making life more affordable for us. Make America wealthy again??? He’s destroying us and YOU are letting it happen!! STOP THIS MADNESS!!!

Are you going to tell the farmers in North Carolina why you are allowing irreparable damage to happen to them? You had a chance to join your colleagues and stand up for your constituents but you didn’t…. Why didn’t you? If you understand that this stupid tariff war is going to harm YOUR constituents

Trump Tariffs

You say that Trump’s tariffs will harm Americans, but then you wouldn’t stand with four of your braver colleagues and vote the tariffs down. Where is your spine and integrity? Who are you really working for, because it isn’t North Carolinians or Americans. I think you want a recession so you can pad

Senator Cory Booker stood up for democracy this week in an amazing display of physical and mental stamina. I wish you had half the integrity of this remarkable man. I urge you to reflect on this historic feat and what it stands for. I hope that his display of leadership will help you to discover s

I Refuse to Pay for Billionaire Tax Cuts

I am writing to express my strong opposition to any tax policies that benefit billionaires at the expense of hardworking Americans like myself. It is unacceptable that everyday citizens are expected to bear the financial burden of tax cuts for the wealthiest individuals and corporations. These give

Tariffs are a power of Congress not the President UNLESS YOU GIVE IT TO HIM

Dear God, please take the power of enacting tariffs back. We are not at war (yet) and the only emergency is the one being caused by unlawful acts like this. Use your powers to check and balance. Please.

Stop the tariffs

How long are you going to let this administration destroy our economy? This is madness. And it’s on you. This relentless drop in the stock market, our 401k value, consumer confidence… this on you now. I’m a small business owner and we need leadership, not cowardice. Do your job. Do what’s right for

Dumbass tariffs

Congrats on supporting Trump’s dumbass tariffs — nothing says “pro-business conservatives” like making everything more expensive for North Carolinians to score points with a delusional “president”. These tariffs are taxes on us, not China. They’re screwing farmers, small businesses, and working fam

Stop crazy Trump Tax

Stop these insane tariffs! Trump has gone mad and is crashing our economy. Raising our taxes by historic amounts. The latest announcement is not strategic, it’s suicidal. Congress must take back its constitutional tariff powers so NO president can wield this power so cavalierly. Americans are about

I am writing to express my deep concern about the ongoing impact of tariffs on American workers like myself. I have directly felt the devastating consequences of recent trade policies.

The Senate could have stopped this

Today Donald Trump initiated tariffs across the board. All economist agree that this will slow down if not damage the US economy. It also may possibly set us into a global recession. This was allowed because Congress aggregated its responsibilities in allowing the president to declare and maintain a

Please protect my vote. VOTE NO on the SAVE ACT. No matter the intention of this bill, it ultimately disenfranchises millions of voters, especially married women who changed their names when married.

Vote no on HB 595

As a parent and a supporter of educators, I urge you to vote no on HB 595. This bill is dangerous to librarians, educators at large, and our children. It does not restore or codify parents' "rights" in any way. No group that restricts access to or ban books is ever on the correct side of history. I

A response to your reply about the SAVE Act

I have received your response regarding my email about voting NO on the SAVE Act. You responded that sadly, many Americans have lost faith in the integrity of our elections. This is sad indeed, but let me remind you that lies about voting integrity have been perpetrated by the GOP, with the bigges
