đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Emailed Rep. Pete Olson and Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
I support privacy rights for disabled people applying for Social Security benefits. The administration’s new budget proposes monitoring people’s social media accounts as part of determining eligibility. Since the SSA’s own analysis finds fraud in only 1% of disability payments, this practice would invade privacy and waste limited resources. I’m asking you to publicly denounce invading citizens’ privacy and hold OMB Director Mick Mulvaney and SSA Commissioner Nancy Berryhill accountable for this nonsensical waste of time and resources. 

Thank you notes to Sens. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), and Jeff Merkley (D-OR): 
Thank you for introducing the Immigration Court Improvement Act of 2019. Impartial judges are very important.

Wrote letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, FBI Headquarters, 935 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC, 20535-0001
Dear Director Wray, I am greatly concerned about increasing violence by white nationalists against houses of worship. I support strict enforcement of existing law to address to this public safety threat. I urge you to meet with religious leaders who wish to advocate with you directly in the near future. Lives are at stake. Thank you.

Thank you note to Tricia Newbold, security administrator, Office of Administration (White House)
Thank you for providing the U.S. House Oversight Committee with information about security clearance irregularities that could threaten national security. I appreciate your action and am in awe of your courage. 

Address: c/o Edward H. Passman, Passman & Kaplan, P.C., Attorneys at Law, 1828 L Street, NW, Suite 600, Washington, DC 20036

Called Rep. Pete Olson:
I am concerned that young people experiencing homelessness are falling through the cracks of HUD’s definitions and data. The bipartisan Homeless Children and Youth Act would address these flaws and make HUD programs more responsive to local conditions. Please sign on as a co-sponsor of H.R. 2001.

Thank you note to Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX):
Thank you for introducing a bill (H.R.2203) that would increase oversight of ICE and DHS.
Address: 221 N. Kansas Street, Suite 1500, El Paso, TX 79901

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Wrote postcards to Rep. Pete Olson and Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
I support the right of disabled people to receive long-term care services at home rather than an institution. I’m asking you to co-sponsor the bipartisan Disability Integration Act (H.R. 555/S.117) so decision-making rests with those needing care. Thank you.

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Email to Pete Olson:
I want to express my support for greater oversight of DHS and ICE. For too long, these agencies have been acting independently to harm communities and violate constitutional rights. I would like you to support and cosponsor H.R. 2203. Thank you.

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Left voicemail for Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
I value fair and accessible voting. Stacking districts prevents fair representation in Congress. We must also stop corporate money from deciding elections over the will of the people. Now that H.R. 1 has passed in the House, can I count on your support for voting fairness?
