Text SIGN PRZCVJ to 50409 — I urge you to vote against the SAVE Act when it comes before the Senate. While proponents frame this legislation as necessary for election security, it would create substantial barriers to voter registration and ballot access for millions of eligible American citizens without addressing any documented widespread problem. Noncitizen voting is already illegal, and voters already attest to their citizenship when registering. The SAVE Act goes far beyond current requirements by mandating in-person proof of citizenship with documents like passports or birth certificates, plus photo ID to cast ballots. For mail-in voting, Americans would need to submit ID copies twice: when requesting and when submitting their ballot. These requirements would disproportionately burden specific groups of eligible voters. A 2024 University of Maryland study found that more than 9% of voting-age citizens, roughly 21 million Americans, cannot readily access documentary proof of citizenship. Black Americans and Hispanic Americans are disproportionately less likely to have current driver's licenses than White Americans. Millions of married people, particularly the nearly 80% of women in opposite-sex marriages who take their spouse's surname, would face additional hurdles obtaining marriage licenses, divorce decrees, or updated passports. These documents require time and money that create real obstacles to exercising the fundamental right to vote. Thirty-six states already have ID laws at the polls, and 14 states plus Washington, DC use alternative verification methods like signed affidavits. This federal mandate would override state systems that currently work without evidence of the widespread fraud this bill purports to prevent. The SAVE Act solves a problem that does not exist while making it measurably harder for millions of eligible Americans to participate in our democracy. I ask you to oppose this legislation and protect voting access for all citizens.

Text SIGN PKKHCP to 50409 — I urge you to vote no on any bills with the goal of sunsetting Section 230. This law is vital to maintaining our 1st Amendment Rights in an age of instant connectivity. It gives liability immunity to providers and users of online sites who allow 3rd parties to post on their site or accounts. Note, this does not include criminal behavior of any kind as that would be handled by entirely different measures altogether. We are talking free speech ONLY here. Section 230, for example, merely protects site owners from things like defamation lawsuits due to something a user posted on their site. Sunsetting this legislation will lead to an absolute erosion of our 1st Amendment Rights and will *increase* the levels of extremism in this country. Small websites will no longer be willing to allow people to post. The legal risk will be far too great if they can be held liable as "promoting" any and every little thing a user can possibly post. Big tech media sites, however, would continue to allow posting with extreme and draconian censorship that would sway at the drop of a political hat. Conspiracy theories would run rampant in real space due to this, dramatically worse than they do online and with no outlets. People would feel even more deeply unheard and angry. And unheard, angry people are quick to grab your attention in any way they can. Like with extremism and violence for example. The very issues we are trying to solve. Not only would this deeply impact our Rights and increase extremism, it would inevitably create an environment where only one narrative would be visible on the internet. Easily controlled by the top of the ladder, that narrative will lack consistency and will always forward whatever agenda is momentarily at hand. All discussion deemed off narrative will be squashed and litigated. A terrifying dystopia. Quite literally like something out of this country's high school required reading books. Except it won't be fiction, but a hard reality. The data backs up this potential reality. That's why this legislation has continued to exist despite corporate backed bipartisan attempts to dismantle it for over a decade. It is *that* fundamental to our freedom of speech now. The billionaire class wants to exploit this weak time for our society to yet again enable their own capitalization and to protect themselves from public dissent. The current administration's strategy of distracting from criminal distractions to distract from criminal behavior has created chaos. A chaos the billionaire class is using to try silence us while they think we are too overwhelmed to notice. They are wrong. We will not go further into their dystopia silently. Please vote no on any proposed legislation that would harm section 230 and, by direct extension, our 1st Amendment protections.

Text SIGN POJNFU to 50409 — Today I take pen in hand to write and urge you to oppose additional surveillance funding for the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and to work toward rescinding the billions already appropriated for surveillance technology through the wasteful and misguided Republican Funding Bill last year. We’ve ll seen the headlines, but what’s not revealed is what the human toll really is. The human cost of expanded ICE operations is already evident. In 2025, at least 32 people died in ICE custody or at the hands of ICE agents, including Keith Porter. 2026 began with the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. As of January 16, 2026, ICE held approximately 73,000 individuals, an 83 percent increase from 2025. This detention surge is enabled by surveillance technologies that threaten the civil liberties of all residents, regardless of immigration status. The One Big Awful Bill appropriated $6.2 billion for border technology and surveillance, funding tools that violate the Privacy Act of 1974. Mobile Fortify allows field agents to conduct real-time facial recognition and fingerprint verification through smartphones, accessing hundreds of millions of biometric records without formal policies governing use or data storage. Palantir's FALCON and ICM systems enable bulk searches across dozens of government and commercial databases, including airport travelers, border crossings by U.S. citizens, and telecommunications metadata. Most alarming is the $2 million contract for Paragon Solutions' Graphite spyware, which can infiltrate any mobile phone, bypass encrypted applications like WhatsApp and Signal, and enable complete device takeover. This same spyware has been used by foreign governments to target journalists and activists in two dozen countries. DHS has entered in dubious and likely illegal data sharing agreements with the IRS, HUD, HHS, and SSA, creating what Congress explicitly sought to prevent in 1974: a centralized federal information system resembling a personal dossier on every citizen. When Congress passed the Privacy Act, it aimed to make it legally impossible for the federal government to assemble anything resembling an Orwellian surveillance state. Therefore, I urge you to prohibit additional funding for ICE and CBP, restrict DHS from repurposing administrative data for surveillance. I also urge you to impose strict limits on surveillance technology acquisition, mandate congressional oversight of data sharing practices, and establish independent audits with enforceable penalties for noncompliance. These measures described above are essential to protecting constitutional rights and preventing the normalization of mass surveillance. Let’s get to work. Thank you.

Text SIGN PNGJRG to 50409 — CONGRESS MUST HALT THE UNJUSTIFIED AND PERMANENT EXPANSION OF ICE DETENTION INFRASTRUCTURE As your constituent, I am writing to oppose the rapid and unnecessary expansion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities now being funded and implemented through recent appropriations and administrative actions. This expansion represents a costly, excessive, and potentially irreversible enlargement of federal detention authority. Congress has both the power and the responsibility to stop this expansion before it becomes permanent federal infrastructure. THE COST OF THIS EXPANSION IS EXTRAORDINARY AND UNSUSTAINABLE Recent budget actions direct tens of billions of dollars annually toward immigration enforcement, with a significant portion devoted to expanding detention capacity, transportation, and long-term private contracts. ICE detention alone already costs well over $3 billion per year. Per-person daily detention costs routinely exceed $150 to $200 per detainee. Expanding physical detention infrastructure locks taxpayers into decades-long financial obligations that will outlast any short-term enforcement surge. These funds are being committed while Congress simultaneously debates cuts or constraints in healthcare, housing, disaster response, and other core public needs. THE SCALE OF DETENTION FACILITIES PROPOSED IS NOT OPERATIONALLY NECESSARY Facilities of this magnitude are not required to ensure immigration compliance. The majority of individuals held in ICE detention have no violent criminal history and present no public safety risk. Alternatives to detention, including supervised release and case-management programs, consistently achieve high court-appearance rates at a fraction of the cost. Expanding detention on this scale signals a shift toward detention as a default enforcement tool rather than a limited, case-specific measure of last resort. MASS DETENTION CAUSES REAL AND DOCUMENTED HARM Large-scale detention disrupts families, separates children from caregivers, and destabilizes local communities. These impacts extend well beyond detainees themselves and ripple through schools, workplaces, and local service systems. Oversight bodies, including the DHS Office of Inspector General and federal courts, have repeatedly documented serious deficiencies in ICE detention. These include inadequate medical care, delayed treatment, preventable deaths, limited access to counsel, and weak oversight of private contractors. Expanding a system with these unresolved failures multiplies human risk and legal exposure rather than strengthening lawful enforcement. CONGRESS MUST USE ITS OVERSIGHT AND APPROPRIATIONS AUTHORITY NOW Congressional silence will be interpreted as consent. I urge you to take the following steps promptly and publicly: (1) Oppose any appropriations, transfers, or reprogramming that expand ICE detention bed capacity or construct new large-scale facilities. (2) Require full public disclosure of detention-related contracts, projected long-term costs, and contractor performance records. (3) Support legislation that prioritizes alternatives to detention and restores detention to a narrow, clearly justified role consistent with due process. This expansion is already underway. Once facilities are built and contracts signed, reversal becomes far more difficult. Congress must act now to prevent the normalization of mass immigration detention as permanent federal infrastructure. Thank you.

No CECOTs in our state! No DHS prisons or concentration camps! Where is the CA law to prevent these abominations?

I urge you to oppose HB 2027, which would designate Loop 202 as the "Charlie Kirk Highway." This bill, sponsored by Representative Carbone with 28 co-sponsors, is scheduled for consideration by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee this Wednesday. The duplicate bill, SB 1010, has already passed its Senate committee, making timely action critical. Arizona has an established process for highway naming that requires review by a specific state board. This board maintains a policy of not naming infrastructure after individuals until at least five years after their death. This waiting period serves two essential purposes: it avoids political controversy and allows for proper historical perspective on a person's legacy. HB 2027 circumvents this deliberative process entirely. Loop 202 already carries meaningful designations. A 23-mile stretch honors longtime Arizona Congressman Ed Pastor, who was instrumental in securing the federal funding that made the highway's construction possible. That designation reflects genuine contribution to the infrastructure itself. Adding another name creates confusion and diminishes the recognition of those who actually built what we drive on today. The bill's timing raises serious concerns. Charlie Kirk's recent death, however tragic the circumstances, does not justify abandoning the five-year waiting period that exists precisely for situations like this. The policy exists because immediate naming decisions often fail to account for the full scope of someone's public record and impact on the community. Beyond process concerns, Kirk built his public profile on combative and divisive rhetoric. Highways should unite communities, not memorialize polarizing figures whose work centered on inflaming political tensions. Arizona deserves infrastructure naming that reflects broad consensus and genuine contribution to our state's development. I ask you to vote no on HB 2027 and preserve the integrity of Arizona's highway naming process. Our state board exists for good reason, and this bill sets a troubling precedent for bypassing established procedures.

Text SIGN PYOTHG to 50409 — America is in an emergency situation, our “leaders” are members of an international criminal ring that was and still is committing unfathomable atrocities. Why haven’t you filed articles of impeachment of the criminals in the White House? Your constituents are feeling utterly betrayed and abandoned. Your silence and lack of action specifically against this criminal administration signifies tacit approval! We are losing America to fascism! Impeach Trump, Noem, Patel, Bundy and the whole cabal - for treason and cruel, deliberate criminal endangerment of our country. Your constituents are enraged! You can still save face if you step up and DO THE RIGHT THING! If you don’t take drastic measures, the history will remember that, and this will not end well for careers. We are still hopeful that our democratic representatives will uphold their oath to protect the constitution!

I urge you to oppose SB1010, which would rename Loop 202 as the "Charlie Kirk Highway." This bill, sponsored by Senator Petersen with numerous co-sponsors, bypasses established naming procedures and disregards the existing commemorations already in place on this highway. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is scheduled to consider the duplicate bill HB4027 on Wednesday, making immediate action necessary. Arizona has a specific state board that reviews highway naming proposals, including a policy requiring at least five years after a person's death before naming infrastructure in their honor. This waiting period exists for good reason: it allows time for historical perspective and helps avoid political controversy. SB1010 circumvents this entire process, setting a troubling precedent for future naming decisions. Loop 202 already carries meaningful designations. A 23-mile stretch honors longtime Arizona Congressman Ed Pastor, who was instrumental in securing the federal funds that made the highway's construction possible. This existing commemoration recognizes someone whose work directly contributed to the infrastructure itself. Layering additional names onto the same highway, as Section D of the bill allows, creates confusion for residents and visitors alike. Beyond procedural concerns, Kirk built his public profile on combative and incendiary behavior that included racist and sexist rhetoric. While the circumstances of his death were tragic, they do not erase the divisive nature of his public work. Highway names should unite communities and honor individuals whose contributions reflect shared values, not those whose legacy remains deeply controversial. The bill requires the Arizona Department of Transportation to erect signage throughout Loop 202 at taxpayer expense. These resources would be better spent on actual transportation infrastructure needs rather than political messaging. I ask you to vote no on SB1010 and HB4027. Respect the established naming process, honor the existing commemorations on Loop 202, and preserve highway naming for individuals whose legacies have stood the test of time and earned broad community support.

The damage the HHS secretary has done to science and public health is appalling—and it could have been avoided.

I am writing as a constituent in Texas to ask you to consider supporting efforts to recognize the Pride flag as an authorized symbol that Americans may display on federal property. This issue is not about replacing or competing with the American flag. It is about upholding the core American values of freedom of expression, individual liberty, and equal treatment under the law. Our country has always stood for the idea that people should be free to express who they are without fear of government restriction. Many Americans view the Pride flag as a symbol of personal freedom, resilience, and the belief that all citizens should be treated equally. Allowing its recognition is consistent with the principle that government should not favor or restrict expression based on viewpoint. Protecting that freedom strengthens the constitutional rights of all Americans. I believe we are strongest as a nation when we uphold the founding ideals of liberty and justice for all. Supporting this effort would affirm those principles and demonstrate a commitment to the freedoms that define our country. Thank you for your time and for your service to Texas.
