The recent reintroduction of H.R. 899 to abolish the U.S. Department of Education is concerning. This federal agency plays a vital role in setting educational standards, distributing funding, enforcing civil rights laws in schools, and supporting students with disabilities. Eliminating it would undermine equal access to quality education nationwide. Rather than dismantling the Department, we should focus efforts on strengthening public education. Investing in modern curricula, teacher training, school infrastructure, and evidence-based policies can better prepare America's students for future success. Local control over education is important, but national leadership ensures all children receive sufficient resources and opportunity regardless of their zip code. I urge you to oppose H.R. 899 and any efforts to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. Our students deserve a cohesive, well-funded public education system that serves their needs and upholds their civil rights. Defending this federal agency is crucial for advancing educational equity across the country.

I am writing as a concerned constituent who values science-based public health policies and recognizes the importance of vaccines in protecting our communities from preventable diseases. I urge you to oppose the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services. Mr. Kennedy’s long-standing record of spreading vaccine misinformation and promoting anti-vaccine ideology is deeply concerning. His beliefs are not only out of step with established science, but they actively endanger public health by discouraging vaccine confidence, which is essential for protecting people of all ages. Here are key reasons I believe he is unqualified to lead our nation's health policy: -Personal Profit from Spreading Vaccine Misinformation: He’s made millions from biotech investments and lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers. Our health is too important to trust to a person whose personal profit motive requires that he undermine trust in public health. -Opposition to Established Science: Mr. Kennedy has repeatedly questioned vaccine safety despite overwhelming scientific evidence supporting vaccines as one of the safest and most effective public health tools. The CDC, WHO, and every reputable health organization agree on the benefits of vaccination, which has saved millions of lives. -Potential to Erode Public Health Infrastructure: If confirmed, Mr. Kennedy could undermine essential vaccination programs like Vaccines for Children (VFC) and the 317 Fund, which provide critical access to vaccines for uninsured and underinsured populations. Weakening these programs could reverse years of progress in disease prevention. -Threat to Preparedness for Emerging Diseases: Given the need for a swift, coordinated response to emerging infectious diseases, Mr. Kennedy’s history of denying vaccine science raises concerns about his ability to lead during public health emergencies. His influence may stymie vaccine innovation and limit our national capacity to respond effectively to future health crises. -Increasing Distrust in Government and Medicine: Mr. Kennedy’s promotion of vaccine misinformation erodes trust in health professionals, public health agencies, and science itself. Appointing him could fuel the spread of disinformation, weaken confidence in proven interventions, and put vulnerable populations at risk. As our nation continues to recover from the human and economic costs of pandemic disease, and as we experience the return of measles, chicken pox, and whooping cough, it’s essential that HHS be led by someone who prioritizes science, evidence-based policy, and public health integrity. I urge you to stand with the pro-vaccine majority, healthcare professionals, and scientific communities in opposing this nomination. Our health, safety, and public trust depend on it. Thank you for your time and your commitment to protecting public health.

In less than a month, Trump has made air travel unsafe, failed to see that the laws are faithfully executed, destroyed our credibility abroad and shredded the constitution and scoffed at the rule of law. Please remind me what Elon Musk is doing in this regime. None of it is legal. We did not elect Elon Musk. You swore an oath to support and defend the constitution. I hope you intend to honor that solemn promise. Start by impeaching Scott Bessent. He gave access to the Treasury Department’s computers, data, and funds to Elon Musk and a group of college students. This is felonious and disqualifying. He condoned and enabled a coup. Any member of Congress can introduce a privileged motion. Once introduced it must be voted on. Do this today, please. Bessent is a danger to our democracy. So is Musk. Please refer him and his young goons to DOJ. Next please introduce privileged motions to impeach Trump: one separate resolution for each of the 17 IGs he dismissed. One for each law he broke, for each illegal executive order. Our democracy is being strangled alive: it's your job to known the constitution and to support and defend it. Please reply in writing to let me know how you will be supporting and defending the constitution against blatant unconstitutional power grab of Trump and Musk.

While I cannot directly instruct you on how to vote, I feel compelled to express serious concerns over Russell Vought’s nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget. The core issue is his controversial “Project 2025” strategy, which seeks to consolidate immense budgetary authority within the presidency at the expense of Congressional oversight. This represents a fundamental threat to the constitutionally mandated system of checks and balances. As public servants, we have a duty to safeguard democratic norms and principles. Allowing one branch to accumulate excessive power jeopardizes the balance so crucial to our republic’s health. Vought’s expressed willingness to defy Congressional spending directives is an alarming departure from established practices. His confirmation risks setting a dangerous precedent that erodes legislative prerogatives. I implore you to carefully consider the long-term ramifications of empowering an agenda that so brazenly disregards separation of powers. Principled opposition to such alarming overreach is vital to sustaining accountable, transparent governance. The American people deserve assurance that their elected representatives in Congress will not cede authority to a singular, unchecked executive entity. Thank you for your thoughtful deliberation on this pivotal issue.

The nomination of Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education poses a grave threat to public education in America. As a billionaire with no relevant experience and an agenda focused on privatizing schools, McMahon is poised to advance policies that will defund and dismantle the public education system that serves 90% of students. Her goals align with Donald Trump's Project 2025 plan to expand voucher programs, which drain resources from public schools and send taxpayer dollars to unaccountable private institutions permitted to discriminate. McMahon will rubber-stamp Trump's extremist vision rather than upholding the Department of Education's critical role in ensuring equal access to quality education for all students, especially those with disabilities and from lower-income communities. We cannot allow McMahon to steal opportunities from vulnerable students, increase class sizes, cut training programs, make college unaffordable, diminish special education services, and jeopardize civil rights protections. For the sake of our nation's future, this unqualified nominee advancing a destructive agenda must be rejected.
