Email Style: Direct over Guantanamo Bay


Subject: Stop the Expansion of Mass Detention – This Cannot Stand
Dear [Representative’s Name],
I am writing to express my deep concern and outrage over the executive order expanding Guantanamo Bay to house 30,000 undocumented immigrants. History has shown that mass detention never stops at just one group. What starts as a policy to hold the “worst criminals” always expands to targeting more and more people until it’s too late to stop.
This is a direct attack on human rights. Guantanamo has long been used as a place outside the law, where abuses happen in the dark, away from public oversight. Expanding this facility means normalizing indefinite detention, government overreach, and mass imprisonment based on fear, not justice.
I am asking you, as my representative, to:
• Publicly oppose this executive order.
• Push for immediate congressional oversight into detention expansion.
• Take a stand before this goes further—because it will.
If you stay silent now, you will be complicit. The time to act is now, before this expands beyond what any of us can control. I would appreciate a response on where you stand.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Email Style: Personal over Guantanamo Bay

Subject: We’ve Seen This Before—And We Cannot Be Silent
Dear [Representative’s Name],
I never thought I’d have to write an email like this. I never thought I’d watch my country justify mass detention on U.S. soil and see so many people look away. We are at a crossroads—one where we either stand up now or accept what comes next.
The executive order expanding Guantanamo Bay to hold 30,000 undocumented immigrants is not just an immigration policy—it is a test run for something much worse. We have seen this before in history. Once you normalize mass detention, it does not stop at the original target.
Today, it’s migrants.
Tomorrow, it’s protesters.
Then, it’s journalists.
Then, it’s political opposition.
Then, it’s anyone who speaks out.
You have the power to stop this before it gets worse. I urge you—do not be silent. Use your voice, your platform, and your position to stop this before it grows into something none of us can control.
Please tell me where you stand on this. I need to know that my representative is fighting against this.
Sincerely,

Subject: Guantanamo Expansion is a Red Line – Where Do You Stand?
Dear [Representative’s Name],
The expansion of Guantanamo Bay to detain 30,000 undocumented immigrants is a direct step toward militarized mass incarceration on U.S. soil. Whether you support or oppose current immigration policies, this crosses a dangerous line.
This is not just about immigrants. It is about the unchecked expansion of executive power. If an administration can justify mass detention for one group, it can justify it for others. Protesters. Journalists. Political dissidents.
I am asking you, as my representative, to take a public stance against this:
• Call for congressional oversight into this order.
• Demand limitations on mass detention policies before they escalate.
• Make it clear that the government cannot operate outside due process.
This is not a partisan issue—this is about whether or not we allow unchecked government power to decide who is worthy of freedom. If you do not speak out now, history will not be kind to those who stayed silent.
I need to know where you stand. Please respond with your position on this matter.
Sincerely,

LGBTQ+ Email 1
Subject: The Targeting of LGBTQ+ Americans Must Stop
Dear [Representative’s Name],
I am writing because I refuse to stay silent while LGBTQ+ people in this country are being stripped of rights, criminalized, and targeted by extremists.
State governments are passing laws that erase LGBTQ+ history from schools, ban gender-affirming care, and restrict freedom of expression. Now, we’re seeing these policies elevated to a national level—leaders openly talk about rolling back LGBTQ+ protections, banning legal recognition, and criminalizing transgender existence.
This is not just about policy; this is about survival. LGBTQ+ Americans are being forced out of public life, denied healthcare, and subjected to harassment and violence under the justification of “protecting children” or “preserving traditional values.” We have seen this before in history, and we know where it leads.
I need you, as my representative, to take a clear stance:
• Oppose all federal attempts to restrict LGBTQ+ rights, healthcare, and free speech.
• Support federal protections against anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination.
• Call out political rhetoric that emboldens violence against LGBTQ+ Americans.
This is not abstract. This is not political. This is personal. Silence in this moment is complicity. I need to know where you stand.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

LGBTQ+ Email 2
Subject: I Am Scared for My LGBTQ+ Friends—Please Don’t Stay Silent
Dear [Representative’s Name],
I don’t usually write to my elected officials. But I can’t sit back and pretend everything is okay anymore. Because it’s not.
I am writing to you because I am scared—for my LGBTQ+ friends, for the people I care about, and for this country.
I have watched as state after state has passed laws that strip LGBTQ+ people of their rights—banning their healthcare, restricting where they can exist, criminalizing their very identity.
I have seen people cheer as trans people are forced out of jobs, schools, and even their homes. I have seen politicians casually talk about erasing LGBTQ+ existence like it’s nothing more than a policy decision. I have seen armed groups threaten LGBTQ+ events and pride parades—and the response from so many has been silence.
I don’t think people understand where this is going. Because history does.
Laws that erase LGBTQ+ people from public life are just the beginning. We have seen this before. It always starts with restrictions—on healthcare, on schools, on rights. Then it moves to punishments—criminal charges, imprisonment. Then it turns into something even darker.
People are leaving states because they are afraid. How long before they have nowhere left to run?
This isn’t a debate. This isn’t about politics. This is about survival. And I need to know—where do you stand? Will you fight for them? Will you speak out against the hate that is growing every day? Will you refuse to let history repeat itself?
Because if you stay silent, I promise you—you will regret it. We all will.
Sincerely,

Subject: When They Come for One Group, They Come for Us All
Dear [Representative’s Name],
First, they said undocumented immigrants were the problem, so they built mass detention camps.
Then, they said LGBTQ+ people were the problem, so they banned healthcare and erased legal protections.
Now, they say both are threats to the country. What happens next?
The executive order expanding Guantanamo Bay to house 30,000 migrants is a test run for mass detention on U.S. soil. The push to criminalize LGBTQ+ identity and strip away rights is laying the groundwork for widespread persecution.
We’ve seen this before. Once the government normalizes detaining and erasing one group, it will expand to others.
I am urging you, as my representative, to:
 • Publicly oppose the Guantanamo detention expansion and demand oversight.
 • Push for federal LGBTQ+ protections to prevent state-level persecution.
 • Denounce laws that criminalize identity and normalize mass imprisonment.
If we wait until this escalates further, it will be too late. Please tell me where you stand.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Subject: The U.S. Is on a Dangerous Path – Where Do You Stand?
Dear [Representative’s Name],
Mass detention of immigrants.
Criminalization of LGBTQ+ people.
Censorship of education and history.
Restrictions on voting rights.
These are not separate issues—they are all part of the same authoritarian playbook.
Once a government normalizes extrajudicial detention and strips rights from entire demographics, it never stops at just one group. It expands. It escalates. It silences opposition until no one is left to resist.
I need you, as my representative, to take a stand before this becomes irreversible:
• Oppose the expansion of mass detention, including Guantanamo Bay and ICE crackdowns.
• Defend LGBTQ+ Americans from state and federal attacks on their rights.
• Reject any policies that criminalize identity, speech, or peaceful protest.
What happens next depends on who speaks out now. I want to know where you stand.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
