Petition Channel

This is a petition record. It is not an official government site. Filing here does not file with Congress. The Constitution protects the ask. It does not guarantee the answer. Silence will be recorded as silence.

File

Draft a petition record

You write the ask. This page formats it and keeps a clock. It does not send anything to Congress, a court, or an agency. No account. No address. Pick an official page from the directory so you do not retype it.

The ask

A short title (twelve words or fewer) and one specific sentence for the ask. Keep the whole record short enough to read in a minute.

0 / 12 words

Readability: 0 words. Short enough to read in a minute.

Claims

Mark each claim Supported, Unproven, or Disputed. Evidence is a record you can point to. Inference is a conclusion. Assumption is a guess. You need one Evidence claim before this can be marked sent.

Evidence claims: 0. Add one before sending.

Where it goes

Casework (benefits, delays, passports) is a different ask from a policy petition. Look the office up on an official page — never a social profile. This record does not collect a home address.

Do not claim a district you have not verified. This page never asks for your address.

Official lookup pages are listed for you. Pick one, find the member on that .gov page, then paste the seat name. Empty besides lookup pages? Add a member on the Directory or ask Desk.

Copy the name the government publishes. Do not put your home street here.

A local clock. Not a legal deadline.
