Stop the Damage — Repeal These Harmful Tariffs Now

I’m writing to express my deep frustration and disbelief over the recent tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. Let me be blunt: these tariffs are economically stupid, strategically misguided, and incredibly damaging to American workers, businesses, and consumers alike. You don’t need an advanced

Don't Cut Humanities Funding, National or State Level.

I am writing to you today to protest the draconian cuts that DOGE is making to the National Endowment for the Humanities. In Utah, a state with so many regions, Utah Humanities does the great work of outreach, bringing programming to the farthest flung areas of the state. I am the state poet laureat

No Undermining the 22nd Amendment – Take a Stand

I am writing to urge you to make a clear and unequivocal statement affirming your commitment to the two-term limit for U.S. presidents as established by the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution.

Since Donald Trump took office, I have lost $30,000 in my 401k. That’s real financial pain and loss for my future. How can you address this loss?

We Elected Leaders, Not Sycophants—Fight These Tariffs

I am writing to express my profound concern regarding President Trump's recent imposition of sweeping tariffs on imports from numerous countries. These tariffs, which include a 10% baseline on all imports and significantly higher rates on key trading partners such as China and the European Union, ar

The Executive Branch is completely out of touch with the reality of the lives of working class Americans. The simple fact that the President does not appear to know what groceries are is a gigantic indicator of this. The majority of Americans are not asking for wealth, just an ease on achieving thei

Oppose the Tariffs—Protect American Liberty and Free Markets

As your constituent, I urge you to stand against the sweeping new tariffs announced by former President Trump on April 2nd. These tariffs—amounting to what may be the largest tax increase in American history—are not just an economic misstep; they are an attack on the very principles of individual li

Our country is in peril. This is not from gangs, terrorism, or outside influence, this threat is coming from the Executive Branch of our government. Between roughshod firings of many government employees, the isolation from our greatest allies (Greenland is not for sale), the poorly executed deporta

From a constituent in Holladay, UT

These tariffs are ridiculous, and I'd like you to end them. He is clearly deliberately trying to ruin the USA so he can change the government to an authoritarian one, and you're helping him do it. Right now we're on the edge of a global recession because of his petty ego and lack of economics educat

Please stop this tariff madness before it’s too late

Please stop President Trump’s misguided efforts to impose ridiculously high tariffs that will only increase costs and inflation for Americans and lead us into a full-on economic collapse. My 401K has already been harmed greatly by these GOP policies, and I urge you as my representative in Congress t

The President is not above the law and must comply with constitutional due process requirements. Deporting individuals without allowing them an opportunity to challenge allegations against them violates fundamental principles of fairness and due process enshrined in the Constitution. Such rushed dep

Here we go with the president’s ill-advised tariffs. As prices go up, what are you going to say to your struggling constituents? How do you justify supporting these? Honestly, how do you justify supporting any of his reckless actions? The country is on the precipice of massive catastrophe - where a

Keep Credit Unions Tax Exempt!

As you consider tax reform legislation, please help credit unions maintain their federal tax-exempt status! I am a member of a credit union and a parent of a child with special needs and rely heavily on the low interest rates, higher dividends on deposits, and local programs that benefit our family.

I would just like to thank you for your bipartisan gesture yesterday. Presiding over the Senate while Senator Booker was speaking. It's refreshing to have one of my representatives acting like a normal, moral person instead of being hyper partisan. Thank you for bringing some sanity back into Co

Please stop them from dismantling the vaccine research branch and the rest of HHS. Remember COVID? Remember how difficult that was to navigate? We're at the precipice of a bird flu crisis, and this is not the right time to be weakening our national response and public health defense teams.

Restore Medicaid's focus on vulnerable populations like the disabled

Medicaid was created to provide crucial healthcare coverage for our nation's most vulnerable populations, including low-income children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.

End Harmful Tariffs on Canadian Allies and Trade Partners

The Trump administration's tariffs on Canadian imports are counterproductive and harmful to the U.S. economy. The rationale of using these tariffs to combat the fentanyl crisis is misguided, as only a minuscule fraction of fentanyl enters the U.S. from Canada. Instead, the tariffs will increase cost

Prioritize passenger safety over profit in aviation security reforms

Private security firms operating with a profit motive will undoubtedly and egregiously prioritize cost-cutting over passenger safety, drastically jeopardizing robust security protocols essential to protecting American lives.
