Dear Senator / Representative:
Please speak out about the politicization of disaster relief.
On September 1, President Trump announced on Truth Social that he was approving disaster dollars for states that included campaign endorsements for each state. Here’s an example:
“I just informed Andy Barr, who is running to be the next Senator from the incredible Commonwealth of Kentucky, that I am approving 9.1 Million Dollars for severe storms, winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, that they are recovering from. The Great People of Kentucky are resilient, smart, and tough, and I am with them all the way. Vote for Andy Barr — He has my Complete and Total Endorsement, and he will never let you down! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
An AP analysis from July showed that Trump has “rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.”
Congress must make it clear that disaster relief decisions must not be politicized.
I ask that you:
- Clearly denounce this behavior.
- Introduce a congressional resolution that emphasizes the non-political nature of disaster relief.
- Decry the blatant linkage of disaster relief and campaign endorsements. If this is not illegal, please make it so.Thank you.

Dear Senator / Representative --
How many lives are being lost because this Republican Administration chose to start a war that they cannot win?
How long do I have to wait for Congress to act like a co-equal branch of government and shut down this war?
We are six months into this war, long after Congress invoked the War Powers Act, and Congress has done nothing about restraining the Constitutional overreach of this Republican Executive Branch.
Six months after this Republican Administration launched this war of choice, there still is no off-ramp in sight. I see statements claiming the war has been won or a deal to resolve it was nearly complete, and then nothing.
Please stop the war. Iran's has demonstrated its ability to survive U.S. bombing while inflicting casualties on American troops and allies and choking off the Strait of Hormuz. All Iran has to do to "win" this war is survive as a nation.
This Republican Administration started a war thinking it would be easy to defeat Iran. They were wrong.Stop the war please. Congress has the power.

Dear Senator / Representative:
I want you to investigate the Venezuelan oil deal announced last week by this Republican Administration.
This deal involves operational control of 17 Venezuelan oil fields by North American Blue Energy Partners and Alejandro Betancourt López. Betancourt has faced years of corruption and money-laundering allegations tied to Venezuela’s state oil company. Switzerland, Spain and the US have investigated Betancourt for alleged money laundering.
I want your hearings to explore why this deal involves a suspected criminal.
The money for this deal is coming from the Defense budget? This makes no sense. Please investigate this also.
The arrangement violates the Venezuelan Constitution which explicitly says that no foreign entity can control Venezuelan oil reserves. I want a full accounting of the billions in profits this Republican Administration has taken from Venezuela since January.
Finally, there is very little capacity in the U.S. refining infrastructure to process the type of crude oil produced there. Experts estimate that the U.S. could accept 300,000+ additional barrels/day of heavy, high-sulfur oil, a fraction on of the 65-billion barrel deal.
I want you to investigate every detail of this deal and every dollar earned from Venezuelan oil until every bit of it is known. #Resist #ResistOfTheDay

Dear Senator / Representative:
The “worst of the worst.” That’s the Trump Administration mantra when it promotes its mass immigrant deportation program. However, most of those detained have no criminal record (70+%) and too many are captured while attending a routine meeting with immigration officials to renew their immigration paperwork.
Keeping the government operating (passing a budget) is the number one agenda item for Congress right now but I want zero progress on the budget until ICE undergoes meaningful reform. At a minimum, I want ICE prohibited from entering or loitering near government facilities, schools, hospitals, and churches. I want people with civil offenses released immediately. The only people who should be held by ICE are those convicted of felonies.
Demand change at ICE and DHS, and watch it implemented before you vote on any budget measures.

Dear Senator / Representative -
I want you to object to the Saudi nuclear deal negotiated by this Republican Administration. Vote no. Convince your counterparts to vote no.
Last time I looked, Saudi Arabia was mostly desert and averaged more than 325 sunny days each year. Their ability to produce more solar power than the nation could ever need is one of the many reasons I absolutely object to the export of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia.
The 30-year nuclear deal negotiated by this Republican Administration calls for the construction of AP1000 reactors, a project that would benefit Westinghouse, jointly owned by Canada-based Cameco and Brookfield Asset Management. These already wealth companies are the only folks benefitting from this deal which is the second reason I object to this deal.
Further, this nuclear agreement does not forbid Saudi Arabia from enriching uranium or reprocessing nuclear waste, two potential pathways for making a nuclear weapon. It also does not require International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards.
Speak out against this deal and vote no on the transfer of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia.

Please reverse recent cuts to Housing First programs and allocate more money for housing people who currently have no permanent home.
As many as 170,000 people in temporary housing would lose shelter under the program changes this Republican Administration wants to make. I want you to be a key part of ending their unconstitutional changes to a Congressional program.
These ballroom Republicans want to limit housing to two years with mandatory treatment and work rules.They assert that the Housing First money hadn't fixed the problem of people being without homes.
Homelessness is a multi-tired problem: It is is low wages for workers during times of high corporate profits, the insufficient amount of money allocated to Housing First programs, and the paucity of money allocated to building affordable housing. It is the inability to obtain mental health care, along with unaffordable healthcare in general. Numerous studies show that major health crises are key tipping points for housing instability, including homelessness.
We are a wealthy nation. No one should be living without stable housing.

Today's email is about funding police and enforcing Trump’s election whims. Please copy and paste into the form on the website of your Senators and Representative and share with friends. https://www.congress.gov/contact-us
Dear Senator / Representative:
I need you to demand that the Trump Administration stop threatening to withhold funds from local police for bomb detection equipment, SWAT gear, counter-drone systems and police overtime if states do not succumb to its unconstitutional demands regarding election law and procedure such as demanding proof of citizenship to vote.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin threatened states saying: “We are not going to spend taxpayer dollars reimbursing the states that are refusing to secure their elections.”
Not only is Trump’s effort to override state procedures on elections a violation of the Constitution, but also he is refusing to dispense money that Congress has budgeted for local police. Congress allocates money, no the Executive Branch.
These attacks on the integrity of the states must stop. They will not stop until Congress speaks up and acts.
I want to see you addressing this from the floor for the record; sponsoring a resolution if need be reminding the executive branch it has a duty to dispense funds as allocated by Congress; and making this an issue in your social media accounts.
Make it clear that we cannot afford these continued attempts to hijack our electoral process.

I want to see you addressing this from the floor for the record; sponsoring a resolution if need be reminding the executive branch it has a duty to dispense funds as allocated by Congress; and making this an issue in your social media accounts.
Make it clear that we cannot afford these continued attempts to hijack our electoral process.

Dear Senator / Representative:
I need you to demand that the Trump Administration stop threatening to withhold funds from local police for bomb detection equipment, SWAT gear, counter-drone systems and police overtime if states do not succumb to its unconstitutional demands regarding election law and procedure such as demanding proof of citizenship to vote.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin threatened states saying: “We are not going to spend taxpayer dollars reimbursing the states that are refusing to secure their elections.”

Dear Senator / Representative -
I need you to take immediate action regarding the US Postal Service and their new rule regarding mail-in voting. I want you visiting Republican leaning areas of the state and doing a lot of very vocal and visible outreach on this issue.
The conduct of federal elections resides entirely with the states. There is no Constitutional or legal authority that give the postal service any say in how states run their elections.
The Supreme Court left open a rule with an impossible deadline, requiring a new design for ballot envelopes less than 10 weeks before the general election. There are only a handful of printers certified to print ballots and envelopes in the US, and they get their orders months in advance. By law, every state mails ballots to military and overseas voters 45 days before the election, which is Friday, September 18. Even if this executive order wa constitutional, which it is not, this is a physical impossibility.
Make it clear that these attempts to hijack the Constitution will not stand. I need you in the media every day pushing back on the plans of this Republican Administration to insert themselves in the election process.
The Constitution is clear on who runs elections.

Dear Senator / Representative -
I want an absolute end to PACs, super PACs, and untraceable money in politics.
I recently read that the senate races in Texas are likely to involve more than $200 million in campaign contributions.
The ability of rich people to donate unlimited and often untraceable funds is shattering our democracy, and for the sake of all of us, please do something serious about completely reforming how campaigns are financed.
If you can't end these back-room, ultra-wealthy influence peddlers completely, I want you to support the two bills in Congress now that can help take the voluminous darkmoney out of politics and help make sure that our government is truly a representative democracy.
They are H.R. 2352 and S.4602. Both would limit contributions to PACs to $5000.
I want full transparency. I want every political donation to come with the name of the person who signed the check or made the bank transfer. I want all of it public.
I want you to cosponsor and enact these bills and restore our democracy to the American people.

Dear Senator / Representative --I am writing to let you know that I want the US Navy to name its next carrier after World War II hero Doris (Dorie) Miller. This would be the first carrier named for an enlisted sailor, one who earned his place in American history through courage, sacrifice, and service.
More than 80% of the Navy is enlisted, and naming a carrier after the working sailors of the Navy is long overdue. 37.8% of Navy members identify as a race other than white, the largest percentage of any of the armed services, according to DoD's own reporting.
The issue of recognition and representation is important to me, and that is why I fully support the naming of the USS Doris Miller. I want you to be a vocal supporter as well. Do not let the honor due this sailor be stolen and given to someone who has not served the nation and the Navy as Doris Miller did.
Please make statements in every committee hearing, in every appearance on the floor of Congress, and to every possible media outlet. Dorie Miller is a Navy hero and deserves the honor.

Ten weeks ago, I asked you to take immediate action to get the fiscal future of this nation in order. Ten weeks ago, the national debt was $39 trillion.
Now is is $40 trillion.
The government is spending more than a trillion dollars a year just to pay interest on the mounting debt. Interest is now the government's second-biggest expense, trailing only Social Security.
Spending by this Republican Administration outstrips revenue by more than $2 trillion a year.
Please use every media appearance to highlight the fiscal crisis this Republican Administration has put this country in.
I want a bi-partisan committee of technical experts to submit a list of policy recommendations to put this country back on sound fiscal footing.
The current policies of this entire government are not sustainable. Please be part of the solution.

Dear Sen / Rep -I want you to draft legislation stating that every prison, detention facility, concentration camp, or temporary holding center, be it run by the federal government or a government contractor, is required to allow state health inspections. I want this legislation to make it absolutely clear that DHS, ICE, and their Geo Group for-profit prison partners are subject to state inspections of water, food, and sanitation without exception.
ICE is attempting to place its private detention network beyond the reach of state inspectors, publishing draft contract terms that declare state and local laws “shall not apply” to the facilities.
The new terms were published earlier this month, a day after a federal judge ruled that a contract cannot override state law and ordered ICE’s largest Pacific Northwest detention center opened to Washington health officials.
The ruling came only after three years of litigation, 10 refused inspections, according to the state; and 3,500 detainee complaints.
DHS is trying to do an end-run around the court system.
I need you to make sure that this does not happen.
I am tired of DHS ignoring the Constitution, federal law, and state law. This legislation that I'm asking you to draft is a band-aid on a much larger wound. I need you to fix this please.

I need you to take immediate steps to fix the changes coming to the 340B Drug Pricing Program.
Right now, the existing 340B Drug Pricing Program sells critical drugs (such as those for chemotherapy) at 20-50% discounts to safety-net hospitals that serve a significant number of low-income patients.
But this Republican Administration wants to change the program, forcing hospitals to pay the full price for the drugs, then get reimbursed later by the drug companies.
Set to begin Jan. 1, the amended pilot for the 340B Drug Pricing Program specifies "timely" rebates on select drugs from pharmaceutical companies that are involved in the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program.
Most safety-net hospitals are nonprofits, and many of these are already at risk of closure. A recent study by the Chartis Center for Rural Health determined that the national median operating margin for rural hospitals is 1.0%, and 46% of rural hospitals are at risk of closing.
These hospitals literally do not have the money to pay the full for-profit price for these critical medications. These safety-net hospitals also don't have the kinds of cash flow that can allow them to wait a month or two for the reimbursements to show up.
I don't care how you fix this, but I need you to fix this.
