U.S. users email your representatives this, and make sure to include your zip code:
I am your constituent. I am strongly in favor of defunding Israel. I want my opinion logged on every single one of these pieces of legislation. It is an atrocity that the USA is sending our taxpayer dollars, weaponry, and other support to Israel in order to aid in the genocide of the Palestinian people. It does not reflect the will of your constituents, and I demand that you correct this by voting for/against the following bills, resolutions, and legislation.
To be frank, I will be basing my vote for you in upcoming elections on this issue. I will be watching closely to see how you vote on issues regarding funding to Israel. I will not vote for you in the next election if you vote to send any money, support, or weaponry to Israel. I will be voting for you if you vote to block money, support, and weaponry to Israel.
This is the current legislation I am for, and the current legislation I am against. I would like your office to record my opinion for each bill, and I would like you to take this into consideration when you vote.
I am FOR the following, and expect you to vote for this and co-sponsor, either now or when matching legislation reaches your office.
H.Res. 786: by Rep. Cori Bush
H.Res. 388 by Rep. Rashida Tlaib
H.R. 3103 by Rep. Betty McCollum
I am against Joe Biden’s proposal to spend billions of dollars on Israel via a package for Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and the US border. Biden is asking for $100 BILLION for this package and it is only 1 YEAR'S worth of funding. This is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable, and I am against you voting for ANY bill that spends even $1 on Israel. I do not care what else is in the bill. If it gives money to Israel, I am against it.
I am AGAINST the following, and expect you to vote against this and not co-sponsor, either now or when matching legislation reaches your office.

I am against any legislation that allows troops to deploy to the Middle East in support roles for Israel, as proposed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
I am against Netanyahu’s ground invasion of Gaza, which will inevitably lead to mass killings of Palestinian civilians and escalate violence. If there are any future bills supporting this, you need to vote against them and not co-sponsor.
The U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Act stipulate that only Congress can authorize the president to use military force in a foreign war, except in cases of self-defense. Previous administrations from both parties have ignored this, with unauthorized strikes in places like Syria and Libya. I want you to stand against ANY use of military force that supports Israel or hurts Palestine.
And of course, I am against the usual funding of $3.8 billion PER YEAR to Israel. This 10-year agreement began in 2016. I do not want a renewal in 2026, and in the next election, I will vote for representatives who WILL NOT VOTE TO FUND ISRAEL. I will be keeping track of how you vote now, and I will not vote for you if you decide to fund Israel in any way.
I am a single-issue voter for this. I want you to defund Israel. I do not want a single dollar spent on supporting Israel. I will be paying attention to how you vote in the upcoming weeks and months, and if you vote to fund or provide weapons, troops, or intelligence to Israel, I will NOT vote for you in the next election.
We are paying attention to the budget. We know when you're giving aid to a country committing genocide instead of helping your constituents in the USA. Both myself and tens of thousands of other constituents have spent years saying that we don’t want our hard-earned taxpayer dollars going to Israel. The lack of willingness to fund anything for American citizens, but the quickness with which you take action for Israel is telling. It is unacceptable.
As an elected official, you have the opportunity to listen to the public and stand against genocide. Israel is currently committing war crimes against Palestine. You can stop this by defunding Israel. THOUSANDS of Palestinian people have been killed, 1/3 of them children, in just a couple of days. One child every 15 minutes is being killed. YOU can prevent this by refusing to send additional weapons and funding to Israel.
We are currently spending BILLIONS of dollars EVERY YEAR on Israel. I do not want my money going towards the ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians. Not a dollar more.

Request: Sonny and Victoria being alone at the compound, only with their kids (but only they know that Sonny is the father) and her kids by Michael and the kids are all young, and maybe they accidentally call Sonny daddy or pappa and neither he or Victoria correct the kid or kids
Oh wow. Wow… 😅😳 Hehe, I mean I guess there’s no use in correcting the truth in this case. Real definition of Victonny love child. 🥴
To prying eyes and curious family members, nothing is out of the ordinary having Sonny spend time with all “four” of Michael and Victoria’s children.
The hidden truth of a passionate, fiery love affair in reality has led to the birth of two love children—you and Sonny’s son Angelo and daughter Luciana just a year apart from one another.
Sonny’s eyes linger over you admiringly as you have your back turned to him, working on organizing the children’s nursery back.
Only he and you know the truth about your children, never to be brought up or told to another soul for the sake of your continuing, secret affair, the children and an overall family reputation.
It’s not a dirty little secret or some hidden confession to you nor Sonny, but rather a family born out of a different, newfound love with your husband’s brother behind your family’s back.
You love all your children and babies the same, feeling no different about little Angelo and Luciana as you did giving birth to Michael’s actual biological children—Niccolo and Verona.
Humming quietly to yourself and unaware of your lover’s gaze upon you, Niccolo and Verona play with their building blocks together next to Angelo and Luciana happily.
“Oooh, red block…”
“Here, I take.”
Sonny rests his back against the couch, sitting on the floor and amidst the children to keep an eye on them, but also let the lingering guilt dissipate in his heart that he can rarely be present in front of his own children when Michael’s home.
After all, for what everyone else knows, Angelo and Luciana are Michael’s children, not Sonny’s and nothing raises suspicion more than Sonny wanting to spend more time specifically with the youngest.
Since fathering children with you, any time you and Sonny have alone to yourselves is either spent entirely with the children to parent together, or intimately but never both—creating a burden of allocating time for each.
Sonny chuckles quietly to himself as he holds out his hands, watching both Angelo and Luciana grab onto it with all their might to crawl and wobble over to their father. “I gotcha, no worries.”
“Daaaaaa…” Luciana cooes quietly, peeking up at Sonny.
You pause your movements, staring at the nursery bag quietly as you attempt to make out Luciana’s words.
“Da?” Luciana gently smacks Sonny’s hand.
Eyes wide and quiet, Sonny stares back at his daughter only for Angelo to speak up. “Dada.”
“There’s your daddy! There he is, there he is!” You beamed, holding up Angelo and Luciana in your arms as you made your way towards Michael.
Both you and Sonny remain quiet as you turn around, refusing to correct the children but still in a stunned state of confusion.
Niccolo and Verona remain clueless, too young to understand what their half-siblings mean as Angelo and Luciana attempt to crawl onto Sonny’s lap.
“Yeah,” Sonny nods at his children, opening his arms to snuggle them in his embrace.
“DADA!”
“Come to your daddy. C'mere, plenty of cuddles for all, little buddy.” Exchanging a thrilled and surprised look with you, you can’t help but find yourself smiling at the sight of the real father of your children embracing them with as much love as he can give.
What Michael doesn’t know can’t ever hurt him, after all.
