Tell Congress: Restore Open Amendment Votes

The House of Representatives was built to deliberate. But deliberation is being silenced.

Republicans have issued closed rules to shut down 95 bills in the first year of the 119th Congress, a record for the most in a single year. More than 6,000 amendments have been blocked since Speaker Johnson took over, including proposals on healthcare, taxes, food assistance, housing, veterans, and rural hospitals. Most never got a hearing. Many had bipartisan support.

Speaker Johnson canceled 35 voting days this year. The House cast the fewest votes in a first session in over 35 years.

This is not a procedural technicality. It is the systematic shutdown of democratic debate in the People's House.

Add your name: demand Congress restore the open amendment process, hold votes on the issues Americans care about, and act as an independent branch of government, not a rubber stamp for the White House.
