Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Authorizing the use of the Capitol Grounds for the National Peace Officers' Memorial Service and the National Honor Guard and Pipe Band Exhibition. is a Senate bill passed by the Senate.

Latest action on H.Con.Res. 73: Passed/agreed to in Senate: Resolution agreed to in Senate without amendment by Unanimous Consent.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects the National Fraternal Order of Police, its auxiliary, law enforcement groups taking part in the events, and families or colleagues of officers who died in the line of duty in 2025. It also affects members of the public who may attend and Capitol officials who must manage access, safety, equipment, and conduct on the grounds.
Why this matters: The bill matters because it opens the Capitol Grounds for two specific public law enforcement events. That space has strict rules, so the events need special approval from Congress. The resolution gives that approval while keeping limits in place. The events must stay free, avoid disrupting Congress, and follow Capitol rules on safety and public activity.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
