Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to end the Biden Administration’s bombing of Yemen, pass the Public Banking Act, and protect the Affordable Connectivity Program. Use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Congressfolk's phone numbers and/or use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs.
Just Foreign Policy helps you tell your Congressfolk to end the Biden Administration’s bombing of Yemen. Not just because Congress did not issue a declaration of war against Yemen as our Constitution requires, but because, frankly, it’s not achieving its stated goal (to stop Houthis from attacking local ships). President Biden even said it’s not working! I can’t let it pass by that Houthis have historically fought well against al-Qaida, and yet we still support the UAE/Saudi war aiming to exterminate them. I don’t care if Iran supports them! Has nobody in power thought maybe the war-making itself is the problem causing all other problems?
Americans for Financial Reform helps you tell your Congressfolk to pass the Public Banking Act, which would, as its title suggests, help public banks flourish all over the land. Right-wingers will yell SOSHULIZM!!!!!, but seriously, who really wants to protect the big banksters who won’t lend in urban and rural areas? Only other banksters, that’s who, and they shouldn’t get all the say about everything. You may have noticed the Bank of North Dakota helped good North Dakotans get through the gas drilling bust of the last decade, and the Republicans who run North Dakota have done nothing to touch it. Why, it’s like they know it works! But we should all get to know that.
Finally, Common Cause helps you tell your Congressfolk to save the Affordable Connectivity Program (or ACP), which allows over 20 million Americans to get internet access they otherwise couldn’t afford. Because cable prices are stupid high, amirite? But when I hear that Ted Cruz wants to kill this program because mean-girl, I must ask: isn’t Ted Cruz up for re-election this year? He must be feeling awfully good about his chances, to take such an objectively pro-inflation stand! But then I thought that after he abandoned good Texans for Cancun during that murderous 2021 winter storm. I sure would like to see good Texans remind him who’s boss this November.
