End Illegal Welfare Fraud: Pass the Deporting Fraudsters Act

The American taxpayer is officially under siege, and the U.S. Senate is currently standing between hard-working citizens and the critical rule of law. While the House of Representatives took a historic stand by passing the Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2026 to permanently end the illegal exploitation of our public benefits, open-border advocates and Senate stall-tactics are actively trying to kill this vital legislation behind closed doors.

With the federal government spending over $1 trillion annually on welfare and social services, massive fraud rings are actively bleeding these programs dry—including shocking multi-million-dollar EBT and Medicaid fraud schemes across states like California and New York. We cannot allow Washington insiders to quietly sweep this zero-tolerance policy under the rug while our hard-earned tax dollars are stolen by foreign nationals who enter illegally, abuse our generosity, and rely on legal loopholes to escape deportation.

We, The People, cannot allow Washington insiders to quietly sweep this zero-tolerance policy under the rug while our hard-earned tax dollars are stolen.

We must act now — sign below to force an immediate Senate vote!

To the Members of the United States Senate:

We, the undersigned American citizens and taxpayers, demand that you take immediate, decisive action to defend our laws, secure our sovereignty, and protect our hard-earned financial resources.

In a definitive statement of law and order, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 231-186 to pass the Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2026. This vital legislation establishes a zero-tolerance policy for foreign nationals who manipulate, defraud, or illegally abuse American public benefits and taxpayer-funded welfare systems.

The data backing this bill is undeniable, and the threat to the American taxpayer is massive:

- Systemic Waste: The federal government spends more than $1 trillion on welfare and social service programs each year. Estimates show that an astronomical $233 billion to $521 billion is lost to overall fraud annually.
- Targeted Exploitation: Crime syndicates and undocumented immigrants are explicitly targeting our systems. Recent law enforcement operations arrested foreign nationals involved in SNAP skimming scams, finding them in possession of hundreds of stolen EBT cards.
- State-Level Bleeding: According to official data, California alone lost $181 million to Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) fraud in a single scheme, while New York uncovered a single massive $120 million Medicaid fraud ring.
- Legal Loopholes: Under current outdated laws, legal battles to remove illegal aliens convicted of wire fraud and food stamp fraud can languish in federal courts for up to 4 years. Worse, defense attorneys routinely use plea deals to avoid formal convictions, shielding criminal aliens from immigration consequences.

The solution passed by the House is simple: if a non-citizen admits to or is convicted of defrauding the United States through SNAP, Social Security, or Medicaid fraud, they are permanently inadmissible, ineligible for immigration relief, and must be deported immediately.

For too long, American citizens have watched their tax dollars stretched to the brink while our borders are ignored and welfare systems are exploited. Any attempt by the Senate to stall, weaken, or block H.R. 1958 is a direct betrayal of the American taxpayer. We are watching your vote.

We, The People, demand the Senate bring the Deporting Fraudsters Act to the floor for an immediate vote and pass it without delay.

Signed,

Unleash American Energy: Stop the Mandates and Lower Our Utility Bills

Americans are fed up with rising energy costs and foreign reliance. It’s time Congress puts America first by greenlighting domestic drilling and pulling back costly “green” initiatives like electric vehicle (EV) mandates and gas stove bans.

SIGN BELOW to show Congress you support relief for your wallet and a stronger America.

================================================================

To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States:

Skyrocketing inflation is crushing American families.

Every month, citizens open their utility bills only to find prices soaring to record highs. This economic strain is the direct result of government overreach.

Federal bureaucrats are forcing costly energy mandates on the public, restricting domestic production, and crushing market competition. When the government dictates energy choices, everyday consumers pay the price.

WHEREAS, high energy costs drive up the price of groceries, gas, and basic goods;

WHEREAS, government regulations restrict access to affordable, reliable domestic energy; and

WHEREAS, families should not have to choose between heating their homes and buying food.

THEREFORE, we, the undersigned tax-paying citizens of America, demand Congress take the following immediate actions to protect our wallets, stop regulatory overreach, and let the market work:

1) End federal energy mandates that restrict consumer choice and artificially inflate prices;

2) Unleash American energy independence, restore free-market competition, and lower utility bills for every household; and

3) Protect our wallets, stop regulatory overreach, and let the market work.

WE, THE PEOPLE, demand energy and economic freedom, and we want it now.

Respectfully,

[YOUR NAME]
Concerned American Citizen

Tell Congress: Get Inflation Under Control!

Inflation is absolutely devastating American workers and families. Costs for everything have gone up – energy prices like gasoline, heating prices for our homes, even food prices are skyrocketing.

Instead of doing anything about it, Democrats in Congress are raising taxes, increasing spending, and sending tens of billions of dollars in taxpayer money to other countries.

One report from July showed that the average American has lost $3,400 in income. For most of us, that’s an entire month of wages, gone.

This is unacceptable. The American people are hurting. Stop wasting money on special interest projects and start doing something to protect the American people!

Sign the petition to join the fight against out-of-control inflation!

Dear Representative,

Americans like me are getting crushed by inflation. We are losing huge chunks of our income, thanks to increasing costs for all of life’s necessities – like gasoline, home heating, and even food.

Yet Congress is busy raising taxes even further, spending even more, and sending more of our money overseas.

Enough. Our Representatives are supposed to represent us.

Americans are hurting. My family is hurting.

Congress needs to take on inflation, not spend even more money on special interest projects.

Can I count on you to help hurting families?

Securities and Exchange Commission: Enforce Clear Rules to End Market Manipulation

When the GameStop stock controversy made headlines, a surreptitious practice came to light: market manipulation—and it’s not about trading. A cottage industry of very wealthy billionaires regularly and without any repercussions swoop in, artificially drive markets up or down, make a profit on it, and leave others holding the bag.

This practice prevents individual people from buying shares that are being offered, only allowing businesses to sell, resulting in an opportunity for big companies to manipulate the price of socks.

It is supposed to be an open market but this practice prevents it from being open to everyone. For decades we have been told how important the stock market is, and how it supports the global economy. Doesn’t it warrant some oversight to ensure that trade on Wall Street remains free and fair?

Free trade is the cornerstone of capitalism and it’s being undermined by gamification of the market.

The whole point of having a stock market is to allow people all across this great country and all around the world to invest in businesses and help create that capital accumulation so businesses have the money they need to grow and to prosper.

This capitalistic ideal is being crushed by absurdly wealthy bad actors who are using the stock market as their personal casino.

We need action now to make sure our free markets stay free markets. We are calling on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to protect our fair and free market by enforcing rules to end this shady, anti-capitalist practice. Will you join us?

Sign Now!

Privacy Policy

SEC:

Over the last few years, we have witnessed some of the most blatant market manipulation seen on Wall Street in recent history, yet there’s been no progress toward protecting the stock market’s credibility and its users.

On the contrary, investigative efforts have only been directed at individual retailers while completely ignoring those at fault.

Clear rules must be put in place and strictly enforced in order to ensure that the stock market is available to all and fair to all. Manipulation designed to protect and reward the wealthiest while shutting everyone else out is unethical, anti-capitalist, and threatens the integrity of our free and fair market.

Not only should we impose much-needed rules to prevent this practice, but we should also be investigating companies like Robinhood Markets and Citadel LLC for blatant manipulation against individual retailers.

Please step up and help put an end to market manipulation. We need your leadership to protect our stock market.

Congress: Don’t leave out millions of student loan borrowers

Thank for your interest. This petition has closed.

Petition By: The Pew Charitable Trusts

More than 43 million Americans owe over $1.4 trillion in federal student debt. As highlighted in recent Pew focus groups, many borrowers feel deeply responsible for repaying their loans. But like the parent pictured above, they have other responsibilities to juggle as well.

Making ends meet has become harder because of the coronavirus. In March, as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, Congress took an important step to help many borrowers by temporarily pausing payments and interest on student loans. But the legislation did not include millions of borrowers with federal student loans held by private companies under an old student loan program called the Family Federal Education Loan Program.

Let Congress know that ALL borrowers should be able to pause payments and interest if they need to. Otherwise, there will be student loan winners and losers.

To Congress:
Thank you for supporting millions of student loan borrowers in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act by suspending monthly payments and interest accumulation for federally held student loans. I recently learned that millions of federal student loan borrowers were left out of this temporary fix because they have commercially-held loans from the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program.
Federal student loan borrowers should not suffer if their federal student loans are held by private entities. All students who have federal student loans should have access to the same assistance during this pandemic, regardless of who holds their federal loan, which type of loan they have, or when they borrowed the money.
As Congress considers further legislation to deal with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, please ensure that a legislative fix is included to extend coronavirus related student loan assistance to all federal student loan borrowers.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
