Bit of a wall of text, but I figure it does more good than harm to have this in the comments with links:
The Kids Online Safety Act would increase surveillance and restrict access to information under the guise of protecting children online. KOSA would put the tools of censorship in the hands of state attorneys general. It would greatly endanger the rights and safety of young people online. KOSA’s burdens will affect adults, too, who will likely face hurdles, like age verification, to access legal content online as a result of the bill. TELL CONGRESS: OPPOSE THE KIDS ONLINE SAFETY ACT
The STOP CSAM Act would put security and free speech at risk by potentially making it a crime to offer encryption. The law would undermine digital security for all internet users, impacting private messaging and email app providers, social media platforms, cloud storage providers, and many other internet intermediaries and online services. TELL CONGRESS NOT TO OUTLAW ENCRYPTED APPS
The EARN IT Act would likely mandate scanning of messages and other files similar to the plan that Apple wisely walked away from last year. Digital rights supporters sent more than 200,000 messages to Congress to kill earlier versions of this bill. We’ve beaten it twice before, and we can do it again. We need your support to stop the EARN IT Act one more time. PROTECT OUR PRIVACY—STOP “EARN IT”
The RESTRICT Act would set the stage for a restriction on the use of TikTok, but could also criminalize common practices like using a VPN or side-loading to install a prohibited app. There are legitimate data privacy concerns about social media platforms, but this bill is a distraction from real progress on privacy. TELL CONGRESS: DON’T PASS THE RESTRICT ACT
The Cooper Davis Act would turn messaging services, social media companies, and even cloud providers into Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) informants. The bill is likely to result in companies sweeping up innocent conversations, including discussions about past drug use or treatment. This bill contains no warrant requirement, no required notice, and limited user protections., andIt deserves to be defeated on the Senate floor. TELL CONGRESS: Don’t turn messaging services into DEA informants

Many thanks for posting this. I’m doing my part!
Edit: I’ve so far received one response from a representative…to tell me that he added me to his newsletter.
It looks like this is for US citizens only. If I am wrong please correct me.
Alas, that’s par for the course. But, the email they receive gets counted (and they’ll often run some kind of sentiment analysis software on it) and staffers pay attention to how much mail they’re getting, so it still makes a difference!
This seems to concern the US only, OP can you put that in the title please
Done. Sorry I missed it at first!
Thanks for posting this. I used their form to send a message to my senators and representative.
