‘This Is What America and Our Constitution Are About’

October 6, 2021 /

Dear Senators Sinema and Kelly, 

I am a senior citizen who understands the importance of all eligible Americans having easy access to voting. It shouldn’t be difficult to vote to exercise and protect our democracy. However, I am concerned about recent efforts to limit Americans’ voting freedom. Since the beginning of the year, more than 400 restrictive voting laws were introduced, and 30 restrictive voting laws were enacted by state legislatures. Voting freedom restrictions backpedal on 200 years of progress made by our nation towards representative governance.

‘We Need To Make It Easier, Not Harder To Vote’

October 6, 2021 /

Dear Senators Sinema and Kelly, 

I have worked on Arizona’s reservations and with Native Americans for many years. I have had the privilege of meeting and caring for several of the Navajo Code Talkers when I was a flight nurse. Our native populations were proud to serve their country. Now there are those that would like to make it even more difficult for them to vote. The ability to vote by mail is essential to many Americans. We need to make it easier, not harder to vote.

‘Voting Freedom Is a National Issue’

October 6, 2021 /

Dear Senators Sinema and Kelly, 

Hello, my name is Nancy. I first registered to vote in 1980 at the age of 18, and I have voted in every election in Arizona for the past 41 years. I am extremely thankful for my right to vote, and I consider it my duty to be informed and to support candidates who are dedicated to protecting our Democracy. I am very concerned that many of my fellow American citizens are not being allowed the same freedom to vote that I have enjoyed, due to the many voter suppression bills that are being passed in state legislatures. These restrictive voting efforts are largely based on the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen or rife with fraud, despite it being the most secure election of our history. Voting freedom restrictions disenfranchise some of our most historically oppressed Americans, including Native Americans and Black Americans. This is very distressing to me.

‘Everyone Deserves the Right To Vote’

October 6, 2021 /

Dear Senators Sinema and Kelly, 

I am an independent voter and want to look at each candidate before voting. I think everyone deserves the right to vote how and where they can. I think any legislation that tries to limit people being able to vote is wrong. However, I am concerned about recent efforts to limit Americans’ voting freedom. Restrictive voting efforts are largely based on the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen or rife with fraud, despite it being the most secure election of our history. Voting freedom restrictions disenfranchise some of our most historically oppressed Americans, including Native Americans and Black Americans.

‘We Must Protect the Right of Every American To Have Their Diverse Voices Heard’

October 6, 2021 /

Dear Senators Sinema and Kelly, 

I am a resident of Tucson, Arizona, a mom of seven, and a lover of this great state. I love its diversity. I love the diversity of the land, the weather, and especially of the people. We are great because we are diverse.  We live up to this greatness when our voices and our government reflect our diversity.  We must protect the right of every Arizonan to be heard and to have their diverse needs reflected in policy. We must protect the right of every American to have their diverse voices heard.

‘Environmental Issues Are Completely Connected to Other Important Human Issues’

April 22, 2021 /

Dear Senators Kelly and Sinema,

Earth is one thing we all share in common. If one group of us does irreparable damage to Earth, the rest of us feel it. This is apparent with what is happening in climate change. Climate change then sets up a desperate situation as humans then try to clamor for resources that are vital but become scarce. Over history, we have seen how perilous wars can become further creating death, division, and deep political hurt.

Please consider looking more closely at our environmental issues as they are completely connected to other important human issues.

Regards,
Danielle (AZ)

‘Schools Should Be Able to Make This Decision Without Having to Worry About Their Students Being Sent Out of the Country’

July 13, 2020 /

Dear Senator McSally, Senator Sinema, and Representative Andy Briggs,

In regards to the recent decision by ICE to rescind visas for foreign students if schools are not in person this fall, I want to express my strong opposition to this decision. There are plenty of reasons for schools to be online, and individual schools should be able to make this decision without having to worry about their students being sent out of the country. I can’t see any benefit from sending away students who are contributing to our economy, improving themselves, and experiencing the best of our country.

Regards,
Angelinda (Arizona)

‘Let the Facts Speak for Themselves and Let Justice Weigh the Evidence’

January 31, 2020 /

Dear Senators McSally and Sinema,

Right now, you have the opportunity to make a decision that has the potential to change our country for better or for worse for generations to come. The decision you have to make is much bigger than deciding the guilt or innocence of President Trump, it will outlast your political career, and will set a precedent for all future impeachment proceedings.

‘Integrity Is Crucial to Our Nation’s Survival’

January 17, 2020 /

Dear Senators McSally and Sinema,

Integrity is crucial to our nation’s survival. Please objectively review the facts in the impeachment trial and decide based on the evidence. This is not a matter of staying within party lines. This is a matter of right and wrong, using the facts as well as your conscience to make the correct decision as a juror. You would deserve impartiality if YOU were on trial. Our nation deserves the same. Thank you for doing the right thing.

Sincerely,
Brenda (Arizona)
