Gaza is starving. The US must act NOW!
Text SIGN PFONLN to 50409 — I am writing to demand immediate action to address the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza, where deliberate starvation has become a weapon of war. According to recent reports from journalists on the ground, more than 1,000 people desperately seeking food have been killed by Israeli forces since May, with American contractors confirming that Israeli military personnel have fired live ammunition and stun grenades at civilians waiting for aid at distribution centers. As one survivor described it, "The bullets were chasing us as if we were targets on a shooting range, and not just hungry people." This systematic targeting of starving civilians represents a clear violation of international humanitarian law. The situation has deteriorated to the point where even the few remaining journalists documenting these atrocities are themselves starving. AFP freelancers in Gaza, who risk their lives daily to inform the world, report being too weak from hunger to continue their work. One journalist wrote, "I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can't work anymore." Meanwhile, the UN's World Food Programme has confirmed they have enough food just outside Gaza to supply the entire population for two months, but cannot deliver it due to Israeli restrictions and ongoing violence. Twenty-nine countries, including the UK and France, have already issued a joint statement condemning Israel's "drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food." The United States must join this international chorus and use its significant leverage to demand that Israel immediately allow unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza. The deliberate starvation of an entire population cannot be justified under any circumstances, and our continued military and diplomatic support makes us complicit in these crimes. I urge you to take immediate action by calling for a ceasefire that allows full humanitarian access, demanding accountability for attacks on civilians seeking food aid, and conditioning all future military assistance to Israel on its compliance with international humanitarian law. The world is watching as people are being systematically starved to death, and history will judge those who remained silent in the face of such deliberate cruelty.

SAVE LIVES, demand RFK Jr leave the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program alone
Text SIGN PJSKDH to 50409 — The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program plays a crucial role in maintaining a stable supply of childhood vaccines in the United States. Threatening to overhaul or dismantle this program risks driving vaccine manufacturers out of the market, jeopardizing access to lifesaving immunizations that have prevented countless deaths and illnesses. Some specific examples highlight the fragility of our vaccine system: in the 1980s, lawsuits over vaccine injuries led manufacturers to abandon the U.S. market one by one, resulting in severe shortages that put children at risk of preventable diseases like whooping cough. The compensation program was established with bipartisan support to address this crisis by providing a no-fault system for injury claims while maintaining legal protections for vaccine makers. Recent actions by the new HHS Secretary raise grave concerns about undermining this critical program. Proposals to add unsubstantiated conditions like autism to the injury table, expand the statute of limitations, or make other radical changes could rapidly deplete the program's funding and open manufacturers to renewed litigation risks that previously caused them to exit the market. The public health consequences of such disruptions could be catastrophic. Congress must act urgently to safeguard the integrity of the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Hearings should be held to require the HHS Secretary to justify any proposed changes with robust scientific evidence and data analysis demonstrating the actions will not destabilize vaccine supply and put children's health at risk. The stakes are too high to allow unilateral decisions that could cripple our nation's vaccination infrastructure based on debunked claims and ideological motivations. Preserving this vital program must be an utmost priority to protect current and future generations.

Vote against the HR1 murder budget, no distraction by Iran war
Text SIGN PYHBRH to 50409 — The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (H.R. 1), aka the murder budget, is an egregious and destructive piece of legislation that Congress must reject outright. This partisan bill represents the largest upward transfer of wealth in decades, financing $2.4 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy by gutting vital social programs and public services that millions of Americans rely on.   The bill's draconian cuts to Medicaid, including harsh new work requirements, would strip healthcare coverage from vulnerable populations. Proposed changes to Medicare eligibility rules and increased costs for those dually enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid demonstrate a callous disregard for our nation's seniors and disabled individuals. Moreover, tripling ICE's budget to ramp up Trump's inhumane mass deportation agenda is an affront to human rights and American values.   Perhaps most alarmingly, H.R. 1 greenlights the sell-off of millions of acres of public lands to private buyers and fossil fuel companies, squandering our national heritage while exacerbating the climate crisis through increased extraction incentives and gutting clean energy tax credits. Historically disenfranchised communities would be hit hardest by the proposed slashing of SNAP benefits and imposition of stringent work requirements.   The bill even goes so far as to undermine judicial authority by limiting courts' abilities to issue restraining orders and injunctions.   Other appalling provisions include defunding Planned Parenthood, banning gender-affirming care for Medicaid/CHIP recipients, increasing an already bloated Pentagon budget by $150 billion, establishing a private school voucher system to redirect funds from public education, hiking taxes on college endowments, eroding student loan protections, slashing worker rights and benefits, crippling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and eliminating an excise tax on gun silencer sales.   In totality, H.R. 1 represents nothing less than a scorched-earth assault on working families, the social safety net, and the public good - all to finance an unconscionable tax windfall for the wealthiest few. I urge you to summarily reject this draconian bill and instead pursue a fair, responsible budget that uplifts all Americans.

In case you're not a scientist, anyone promising we "will know" the cause of autism in September is committing scientific fraud. You cannot know the outcome of a study before it is conducted unless you are fabricating data. We might say "high confidence", but never "will".

REMOVE RFK Jr NOW. His broken promises, actions & inactions will cause deaths
Text SIGN PBEJWU to 50409 — It's time to call RFK Jr in for questions under oath and begin the process to remove him. Look at his record: Cancelling the meeting to decide the strains for next year's flu vax. Posting holiday snaps less than a month after taking up his post while a measles epidemic took off. He promised to maintain vaccine schedule advice but that info has been scrubbed from public website. Now he wants to do research on vaccines and autism: a disproven notion. Publicity for this will drive vaccine rates down. And most recently: RFK Jr said about the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause." He also dismissed a measles death as routine. Twenty years ago measles was on the way to being eradicated. Now it is present in at least 4 states. This is the man you, the senate, confirmed against the wishes of your constituents and the advice of thousands of medical professionals. I ask, no, demand, you to take action now using all the tools at your disposal. It is not an exaggeration to say that preventable deaths will result from RFK jr's tenure in his post. REMOVE HIM NOW. If you fail to act, the deaths that result from his dangerous policies and feckless public pronouncements are your doing.
