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.
Securing America’s Land from Foreign Interference Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Latest action on H.R. 809: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects members of the Chinese Communist Party and any companies or organizations under CCP ownership, control, or influence that want to buy property in the U.S. It could also affect American property sellers, real estate agents, and local housing markets in areas where CCP-linked buyers have been active.
Why this matters: Foreign ownership of U.S. land near military bases and critical infrastructure has become a growing national security concern. This bill tries to address that by cutting off one specific source of foreign land purchases. But the broad, undefined scope of who counts as CCP-influenced means it could affect a wide range of people and businesses — not just those posing a security risk.
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.
