Dear Senator / Representative --

I am very concerned about the recent Congressional Budget Office report that the trust fund that pays for Medicare Part A is on schedule to be entirely exhausted by 2040.

This Republican Administration significantly reduced the revenues the trust fund normally receives from taxing Social Security benefits in their budget bill from last year. This Republican budget both lowered tax rates and established a temporary deduction for taxpayers age 65 or older. And while voters like paying less in taxes, I don't think many people realized that cutting their taxes would entirely defund the Medicare safety net of critical future funding.

I want to hear your plan for keeping Medicare solvent.

How will you fix this?

I support sending IRS investigators to recoup taxes that the ultra-wealthy should be paying but don't. I support closing tax loopholes for corporations.

Please consult with Elizabeth Warren on all the possible places where this government could generate additional revenue, then make it happen.

There is a bipartisan agreement to fund the Transportation Security Administration. President Trump said he wouldn’t sign it. Fine. I want you to pass it with a veto-proof majority.

Do not take the President’s “no” as a reason to stop urging colleagues to support a TSA budget. Yes, it will take a vote in both chambers. Yes, it will take a super-majority to override a veto.

It’s time.

Americans prefer that their public servants be paid for the work that they do to make the world run more smoothly. A clean TSA funding bill serves both desires.

I do not approve of the move to send ICE agents into American airports.

Somehow, this Republican Administration believes sending agents with no airport security training into airports will help relieve pressure on TSA. The pressure is the result of Republicans demanding that any budget for DHS include ICE, and Democrats asserting ICE needs no more funds as it has its own multi-year dedicated monies from the 2025 budget bill.

Americans overwhelmingly do not approve of the President’s mass deportation force and its tactics. According to Pew Research, two thirds think the agency has “gone too far.” Half of Americans told You.gov that ICE should be abolished.

Fund TSA. Make ICE follow the law.

Dear Senator:

If it’s okay for the President of the United States, it should be okay for Maria at your local grocer and Ash who runs a local restaurant.

What is “it”? Voting by mail.

"Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating, and we got to do something about it all," the President said Monday.

President Trump cast his ballot in the Tuesday Florida special election by mail.

The White House claim that “universal mail-in voting should not be allowed because it’s highly susceptible to fraud” is unsupported by any research, even from conservative organizations like the Heritage Foundation.

The House-passed SAVE Act 2.0 would make it harder for eligible voters to register and to cast a ballot. The additions that President Trump has demanded the Senate implement to the SAVE Act would make it even harder to vote and almost impossible to vote by mail. Managing elections is the Constitutional right of the states, not the federal government.

Vote No on the SAVE Act. Persuade your colleagues to vote no. Be loud and speak out in public forums: press conferences, social media, the Senate floor. Remind your colleagues that most Americans support expanded early voting and voting by mail. Don’t pass a bill that will result in a long and costly (to taxpayers) court fight that ultimately cannot win.

Dear Sen/Rep-

I urge your immediate intervention regarding the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the Board’s recent approval of the President’s request to shut down the center for renovation.

The Kennedy Center requires no structural overhaul. Congress provides its capital and maintenance budget annually ($32–$43 million) and would be aware of any such needs. Moreover, neither the President nor the Board has provided a public, independent analysis of the building. Demand Congressional oversight and input.

I urge you to insist that Congressionally designated board members like Representative Joyce Beatty and Senator Mark Warner be included in all board meetings and provided all board information as well as be allowed to vote. The board should be bipartisan; it is no longer. Congress created this memorial, and it should have active and meaningful Congressional oversight. I urge you to co-sponsor or introduce legislation reaffirming Congressional authority over the Center's governance, design and maintenance without delay.

The Kennedy Center deserves to remain what Congress intended: a dignified, solemn memorial and cultural institution for all Americans -- not another project designed primarily for personal glorification.

I object to the rules changes this Republican Administration is making to the Board of Immigration Appeals, rules meant to make it nearly impossible for people to appeal immigration rulings..

I want you citing this rule change as yet another reason DHS should not get their full budget until they reform (fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard, but no funds for ICE/CBP until the system is overhauled.)

This rule change would have appeals dismissed unless a majority of Board members affirmatively vote to consider the appeal on the merits.

An appellate system that defaults to dismissal will screen out precisely those cases where scrutiny is most necessary, appeals filed under emergency intake conditions, often without immediate access to transcripts or records.

When appellate review narrows, errors are less likely to be detected and corrected before a person is forever removed from the US.

This rule change reduces the appeal period from 30 days to 10 days. It takes time to review the immigration judge’s decision and the record to identify errors. It assumes unrepresented asylum seekers can get access to the databases and forms necessary to file their appeals in a timely manner.

I want you to cite this rule change as yet another reason to hold up certain DHS funds.

I do not want my tax dollars funding this cruelty. #Resist #ResistOfTheDay #ICE

Please make a public comment on a rule change related to the Board of Immigration Appeals by April 8.

Here is the link: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/02/06/2026-02326/appellate-procedures-for-the-board-of-immigration-appeals

Here is draft language:
I object to changes to the rules governing Board of Immigration Appeals.

This rule change establishes a new appellate structure under which appeals are presumptively dismissed unless a majority of Board members vote to consider the appeal on the merits.

Presuming dismissal does nothing to validate the merits of individual immigration cases. A system that defaults to dismissal will screen out cases where meaningful scrutiny is most necessary such as when the appeal is filed under emergency intake conditions, often without immediate access to transcripts or records.

When appellate review is narrowed, legal and factual errors made are less likely to be detected and corrected before a person is forever removed from the Unites States. Changing this rule weakens one of the system’s central safeguards and raises the likelihood of uncorrected error and erroneous removal.

This rule change also reduces the appeal period from 30 days to 10 days. This is not enough time to prepare a meaningful appeal. It takes time to review the immigration judge’s decision and the record to identify legal or factual errors. It also assumes everyone involved in the process, including unrepresented asylum seekers, can get access to the databases and/or forms necessary to file their appeals in a timely manner.

Dear Senator / Representative:

I strongly oppose the statement by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth that “[w]e will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies" because I do not want our nation to commit war crimes.

Legally, "no quarter" means that enemy combatants cannot be taken prisoner: they are to be killed rather than permitted to surrender. We have already crossed this line by sinking the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena after it had participated in India's MILAN 2026 naval exercises. Only 32 survived and that was because the ship was within Sri Lanka's designated search-and-rescue zone.

Such a declaration is expressly prohibited under international law, including the Geneva and Hague Conventions. If undertaken, it would be a war crime punishable under the War Crimes Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. 2441). The Department of Defense Law (DOD) of War Manual adopts international law, including Article 23 of Hague IV Regulation, expressly stating it is "forbidden to declare that no quarter will be given.”

Neither a formal declaration nor a proper authorization has occurred. So this statement is not only contrary to law and the DOD Law of War Manual

I urge you in the strongest terms: call out the Secretary of Defense on his rhetoric and actions. Subpoena him. Do it sooner rather than later.

Dear Senator -

There is no widespread voter fraud that would necessitate either a federal emergency or the SAVE Act.

This Republican Administration is acting like voting is a privilege, but it is a foundational right specified in the Constitution.

I want to see you flood the media with appearances explaining exactly why this Republican Administration is wrong about the risk to the security and integrity of voting in this county.

The SAVE Act supported by this Republican Administration would disproportionately harm:

-Women who changed their names after marriage who would have to secure updated documentation to register to vote.

-Military families who would have to re-register every time they move sometimes very close to an election day.

-Disaster survivors who lost documents in disasters and face burdensome hurdles to replace them while rebuilding their lives.

-Communities of color: Black Americans are three times more likely than white citizens to lack easy access to birth certificates, passports, or naturalization papers.

Some Republicans have already admitted that they did not know all the details of this bill and how it would impact so many people. Corner your colleagues in Congress and make them look you in the eye when you ask them why they support a law that would disenfranchise millions.

Vote No on the SAVE Act.

Dear Senator / Representative -

What exactly is the end-state goal for the US bombing of Iran?

I have heard multiple ideas from different members of this Republican Administration.

What exactly is the end goal? How will we know when it is reached?

They said they've destroyed Iran's military and nuclear complex, but we're still bombing. They killed Iran's previous leaders, but we're still bombing.

All that is left is bombing and hoping that the Iranians rise up. But hope is not a viable military strategy. Neither is spontaneous "rising up."

I have read my Theda Skocpol and I understand what goes into a social and political revolution. I know that "rising up" is a complex undertaking that requires a cohesive opposition organization to mobilize and unite a plurality of the 92 million people of Iran.

I understand that there are things that sometimes can only be said in a classified briefing. I want you to press for a clear and coherent explanation of the end state for Iran.

We elected you to be our proxy. Learn the truth and tell us that there is a plan in place.

Because it looks like this Republican Administration is bombing Iran until the entire world is engulfed in war.

Dear Sen / Rep

I oppose any suspension of the federal gas tax, including legislation such as the Gas Prices Relief Act, as a means of offsetting the economic burden of this Republican Administration's war in Iran. I likewise oppose lifting any sanctions on Russian oil.

If Congress believes (as I do) that this war imposes an excessive burden on Americans, Congress should end the war. Only Congress may declare war, and only Congress may fund it. Neither a formal declaration nor a proper authorization has occurred. Suspending the gasoline tax does not address that constitutional failure; it subsidizes indecision.

Focusing on gas prices minimizes the stakes. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz affects the entire global supply chain of critical materials including industrial sulfur as well as, copper, and cobalt, two materials essential to electric vehicle batteries and semiconductors. One-third of the world’s nitrogen fertilizer passes through the Strait.

Suspending the 18.4-cent-per-gallon federal gasoline tax is theater. It does not address the scale of disruption and papers over Congress’s responsibility to make a clear decision about the war itself.

Do not sign or vote for a suspension of the federal gasoline tax. Do not lift sanctions on Russia. Address the war directly. Your constituents are watching.
