Thank you for talking with these young people. We need to do more of this to engage America’s young people, no matter what Party they identify with. Sadly, today’s Republican Party is destroying the America we knew. John McCain has left the building.

Thank you for being a role model for other Democrats in office. We need you all to be out on the street, pounding the pavement, showing up at schools and churches, and community organizations, and wherever else you can speak to people IRL. I wish there were more like you!

Way to go, Rep. Auchincloss! Keep it up! Public debate of the postmodern mindset both right and left hide behind is a great way to watch it disintegrate "in real time."

Hoping for the debate. Thank you for the evenhanded clarity of your approach to friend and foe alike.

Cell phones weren't readily available when my kids were in school and I know that I am not that parent that would have bought them for my kids as a status symbol. I have grandchildren now and my kids do know the harm they cause. They will not be going to school with phones. I think this generation is ready for that change. Thank you for being a great Congressman!

It seems that the goal today is to shut down thinking, full stop

Dear Rep Auchincloss,

Thank you for your openness to dialogue with ALL Americans.

At this point, Mr Solheim is exposed for all that he makes very clear about the person he is.

He's painted a truly dark, mean, and psychologically impaired picture for all of us to see.

Though it's unlikely he'll ever have the courage to participate in an in-person dialogue with you, you definitely want to continue extending the invitation -- regularly and publicly.

The first and essential step for holding folk like Mr Solheim, as well as, other hate-mongers & peddlers of cruelty accountable is by persistently inviting them to interact, in-person and constructively.

We all need to be open to a thoughtful, friendly exchange of views. And make it a habit- here is one approach, wear an "Ask Me Why" button. https://gregblonder.medium.com/political-talk-therapy-96a5b6cac492

Thank you for your clear policy standings and willingness to get in front of all kinds of audiences!

I especially appreciate your recent proposal for Mass to address the healthcare access crisis in 2027 with a new commitment to accountable care organizations!

You should think about going on Scott Galloways podcast. He's been a great advocate for young people and the dangers of social media.

Thank you for the clarity and logic of your work. I've got a new slogan for you guys. " You know better." It's what my mom always told me, and she was always right. I knew right from wrong.

Thank you for engaging this organization. I’ve always despised social media bravado.
