I belive Ukraine is one of our most important issues of the day, and appreciate you are one of those addressing it and keeping us apprised. I hope support is put to a vote before it's too late. Speaker Johnson needs to figure this out NOW.
As a 64 yo history buff, I have seen and read about the cycles the USA seems to be stuck repeating.
The lasting effects of our government’s involvement in The Middle East has brought us nothing but hate, abuse, and distrust of any way we intervene; and we deserve it!
We’re subsidizing and arming Israel, while they continue to gleefully commit genocide.
At the exact same time we are failing to do anything; be it providing financial, or humanitarian aid, or weapons for the people/soldiers of Ukraine. WTF?
Stop all subsidies to Israel, there is a difference between anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist. What Israel is doing has nothing to do with faith, it’s a land grab. Netanyahu is playing a dangerous game, and preventing USA from focusing on our ability to aid Ukraine. Israel is capable of waging its hateful wars without our support.
Ukraine is not capable of defending itself against Russia without weapons we have, but refuse to provide.
Just to let you know North Carolina is where all the US ammunition that is going to Ukraine is being shipped from. Specifically Sunny Point (Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point) in Southport NC. The ammunition is being shipped to NATO countries and trans-shipped to Ukraine (usually by rail). They are also shipping military equipment (artillery systems, etc...) thru there also. So, NC is in the forefront of the aid to Ukraine.
Helping Ukraine defend itself is defending democracy. I fail to comprehend why congressional Republicans are so averse to helping Ukraine after we spent trillions invading Iraq, that Republicans roundly supported, and now want to abandon Ukraine. It is yet more evidence that the Republican Party has become the Party of Putin. I wonder how much that fascist is paying them?
the kiddos are adorable! i miss those days, mine are long since grown. treasure these years, they go by so swiftly. like a blink and they are off out on their own.
Please support Dem votes to keep Johnson in place and get support to Ukraine asap. Another round of Rep chaos doesn't do us any good. Your updates are superb!
Jeff, as always, thank you for your latest message. I appreciate your addressing the Ukrainian funding issue. As our Congress dithers and squabbles, Russia rains ballistic missiles on to Ukrainian infrastructure and citizens. Ukraine's need for air defense supplies has become existential.
What are you and your Democrat colleagues in both the House and the Senate doing to put pressure on Johnson to present a bill and to help it pass? What leverage do you have and are using? Can you help make it more painful for Johnson NOT to act than to act?
Thank you Jeff. I share your messages with all of my friends outside of North Carolina. They're so glad to get information because none of their representatives communicate like you do.
Jeff Jackson I urge you to prioritize American citizens over foreign nations. The Ukrainian war is more complex than western media has us believe. The West should have never expanded NATO to Russia borders that is hostile and is unnecessarily provoking Russia. We the US would not like if Cuba or a close neighboring nation would enter into a hostile alliance. Please explore peaceful resolutions.

I love your updates! Too bad you are not running for president.

Let’s try something new this time.

So proud of the work that you are doing and of the way that you keep us informed.
Cheers!
Jeff Jackson for President 2028!
We read every update; keep them coming. Thank you.
Jeff, thanks for the great work you're doing in DC, including your informative emails!

The most responsive and balanced Congressman that does not represent this Florida resident.
How is it that Israel has not been declared a Terrorist State? They bombed the Iranian embassy in Syria.
Had any other country done this, it would have immediately been denounced as terrorism by our government.
Step away USA!
Repudiate our support for these Israeli government policies.
