Representative Emmer,
Please work with your colleagues in Congress to pass the Freeze ICE Act. With ICE’s illegal, unconstitutional, and inhumane approach to “immigration enforcement,” Congress must take actions to rein them in and force compliance with laws of the land and the Constitution before allowing any further expansion.
Sincerely, MB

I feel like writing multiple times a day, given the "stuff" that this Administration expels with the frequency and stench of the explosive diarrhea associated with dysentery, but sometimes I can't muster the creative powers I'm so pissed off.
https://5calls.org/issue/dhs-budget-ice-defund/ is a good resource, cuz they have a bunch of templates ready to go.
Please do!
That's why I post these #WriteYourRep letters, hoping to inspire folks to do the same.
Thank you!
Representative Emmer,
I am deeply concerned over the fact that DHS is gathering personal data, including location data, social media data, photographs of people on the streets, and other data on American citizens. In some cases, they are purchasing data sets through 3rd party vendors; in other cases they are generating the data themselves (such as photographing faces of legal observers and protesters).
Regardless of how they acquire these data, it seems to be a clear violation of privacy laws and prior Supreme Court rulings (see Carpenter vs. United States). Furthermore, gathering data on American citizens is clearly outside of the scope of “immigration enforcement,” and therefore DHS and ICE have no valid reason to house such systems of records.
Congress needs to hold DHS and ICE accountable to the laws of the land, the courts, and Congress itself. The abuses of power the Trump administration is getting away with daily are wholly unacceptable.
These abuses have been widely reported.

Sincerely, MB
Representative Emmer,
I write to request that you oppose the Minnesota Voter Integrity Act of 2026. This act is purely a capitulation to the Trump administration’s intent to meddle with elections, and distracts from real issues of the day such as voter suppression.
I encourage you, instead, to support the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act–an act which addresses real problems in our elections.
Sincerely, Mark Brigham
I wrote both of mine, and I’m pretty sure they’re both already on the right side on this issue.

@Lizette603_23 Sincere “thank you for your service!”
I’ve written my (#gop) Rep about 50 times over the past year. ~45 I composed myself and keep a record of it, and ~5 using canned webforms that various NGOs have, which makes it really easy to contact both Senators and my Rep.
When my anger is too much to compose a letter, I just grab some text from 5calls.org, tweak it slightly & fire away.
I posted a few letters here, tagged #WriteYourRep
Write, fax, or #CallYourRep!
Just called Obsequious Emmer’s office to demand that he get ICE out of Minnesota, and impeach Noem.
5calls.org has boilerplate text to use and helps find your members of Congress.

I’ve written his office about 45 times over the past year. He stopped answering, which doesn’t hurt my feelings cuz his responses are uniformly horrible.

Did y'all know that a Bill has been introduced in Congress to imeach Hegseth?
H.Res.935 - Impeaching Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. (https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/935/text)
I harbor no illusions about likelihood of passage during this session, but that shouldn't stop us from making some good noise with our Members of Congress.

Letter to my rep:
Representative Emmer,
I am deeply concerned that three of our Members of Congress were denied access to observe ICE operations at the Whipple Federal Building.
I urge you to work with your colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and bring the All Access Act of 2025 (HR 1251) to a vote; resist amendments that would weaken or go against the Bill’s current intent; and VOTE YES!
Congress has a duty to hold the President and the Executive Branch of our government accountable to the laws of the land. I truly hope that you will start to take that responsibility seriously.
Sincerely, MB

Good! Congress is debating the possible consequences for ICE and even Noem after Renee Macklin Good's killing #WriteYourRep #MNastodon #ReneeGood #ICE #iceKills #IceMurder #ImpeachNoem #ImpeachTrump #ImpeachConvictRemove #DomesticTerrorism
@MJmusicinears Some have been. Here’s what I wrote my MAGAt Representative (Emmer):
“I urge you to reach across the aisle and work with Representative Al Green to pass both H.Res. 537 and H.Res. 939.
Thank you for your consideration of this important matter.”
I haven’t heard back from him yet. I’ve written about 30 times over the past year. His responses generally suck.
@rationaldoge I was out of town so didn’t make it to this one. But I have been writing my Representative (obsequious arsehole that he is). #WriteYourRep
I disagree with how MPR worded this. I’m not protesting “immigration enforcement” per se. I protest the illegal, extrajudicial, unconstitutional, racist, and inhumane way the current administration is treating people under the guise of immigration enforcement. #ICE #AbolishICE #HumanRights
New bill: "would permit victims of constitutional violations committed by federal immigration enforcement officers—including masked agents running roughshod on our streets—to sue those officers in federal court."
Not up on congress.gov yet, but Rep Moulton posts a draft on his web:
#noem #NoemAct #ice #uspol #HumanRights #WriteYourRep #dissent #resist
edit: took down earlier toot; it was pointed out that Rep Moulton has said objectional things re. trans & CRT.
Question fer y’all.
If one or more of your members of Congress are trump sycophants, do you still write or call them on important issues?
I was told that gop Congresspersons tend to hear from gop constituents about 4 to 1, versus non-fascist constituents. And on any gun regs, the ratio is 11:1. So based on their feedback, all is well.
Seems important that they hear LOUDLY the voices of those who dissent from fascism & sensible gun regs.
Are you making yourself heard? #WriteYourRep #uspol
Have you written your Representative to urge him or her to support the Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405)??? Do it now!
https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/4405
Can you post some specific actions we can take? I post some letters with the hashtag #WriteYourRep here on the masto, but they don’t seem to gain much traction.
People need to speak up en masse. I’m not sure we’re doing that enough, and I’m not enough of an influencer to get others to take action.

Representative Emmer,
I'm extremely concerned about the impact of the government shutdown on SNAP and WIC benefits for millions of Americans. I’m calling to ask that you immediately move to end this government shutdown by extending the ACA tax credits and blocking Trump’s illegal budget cuts. Prolonging this shutdown will cause untold suffering for millions of vulnerable people.
Furthermore, please stop disingenuously blaming Democrats for the shutdown–they’re fighting the good fight to keep people fed and control health-care costs. You should reach across the aisle and work with them.
Thank you for your consideration of this important matter.
Sincerely, MB
