My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
Senator Feinstein and Senator Padilla, thank you for co-sponsoring S4573, the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022, recently introduced in the Senate and which has bipartisan support. Now, we ask you to urgently pass it before this term ends.
Background
According to the U.S. Constitution, “The Person having the greatest Number of [Electoral] Votes shall be the President.” But in the lead-up to January 6, 2021, there was a concerted effort to change the electoral votes and block a legitimately elected president from taking office. This effort culminated in violence at the U.S. Capitol, an event without precedent in American history.
The U.S. Senate Committee on Rules and Administration—under the leadership of Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Roy Blunt (R-MO)—voted on a bipartisan basis in favor of the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022, which should now be voted on by the entire Senate.

Trump/Musk have been furiously slashing and gutting the federal government so that they can extend Trump's 2017 tax-cuts-for-the-wealthy before they expire at the end of this year. Tell your Senators and Representative to defend Social Security against Trump and Musk

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” – Martin Luther King.
Today we are confronted with the most dangerous political-constitutional crisis since the depths of the Great Depression of the 1930s and the rise of domestic fascism. And if Trump/Musk are not stopped, American democracy will face the gravest threat since the slave-holder rebellion of the Civil War.

H.R.22 will disenfranchise millions and hurt millions more. Tell your Representative to vote NO!
H.R.32 could potentially cut federal funding to schools, hospitals, homeless shelters, and transportation systems in more than two dozen states deemed "sanctuaries."
On Monday, wannabe-king Trump issued an unconstitutional decree through his Office of Management and Budget (OMB) halting a wide swath of federal non-defense funding for an indefinite period. This is an assertion of illegal powers to seize money that Congress has already legally directed to be spent for health, safety, education, research, housing, disaster relief, small business loans, and a wide range of other public needs.
