Dear friend: 

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about our recent celebration of India’s Independence Day. 

Last week, I joined community leaders in Clifton to mark this important day and to celebrate the vital contributions of Indian Americans. Just 78 years ago, the people of India secured their sovereignty and right to self determination. Indians around the world and here in America remain guided by Mahatma Gandhi’s message of truth and non-violence.

Dear friend: 

In the aftermath of the bill’s passage, the Committee for a Responsible Budget is forecasting substantial Social Security cuts sooner than anyone expected – all thanks to the Big Ugly Budget law and its impacts on the Social Security Trust Fund.

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about supporting our nation’s veterans.

Recently, I had an opportunity to visit and tour our Veterans Affairs Outpatient Clinic in Paterson. I met with doctors, nurses, and patients. I wanted to visit the facility to thank the staff for their vital work and ask what they needed from Congress.

Dear friend, 

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about the growing story around the Trump administration’s decision not to release all of the federal government's files related to the investigation of disgraced criminal Jeffrey Epstein. 

The choice by Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Trump Justice Department to declare no proof of foul play in Epstein’s death and no broader evidence of wider crimes by those close to Epstein has outraged millions of Americans.

Dear friend,

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about the continuing tragic war in Ukraine waged by Russia. This week, President Donald Trump signaled that he would support sending new support to Ukraine. This is long overdue.

For three and a half years, Russia has been committing mass murder and atrocities against the Ukrainian people. Recently, Russia has intensified its attacks on civilians. The nightly bombings by Russia are intended to rain terror on Ukrainians and designed to kill women, children, and other innocent people.

Dear Friend: 

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you about my recent visit to the Cliffside Park Senior Activity Center. It was an honor to attend a luncheon with Bergen County seniors and we had an helpful discussion about seniors’ priorities in our community.

During our time together, we talked about the budget law recently enacted by Congress. Many of the seniors I spoke with expressed concerns about the law. Many are worried it could slash their benefits.

Dear Friend:

This is Congresswoman Nellie Pou writing to you with an update about the Social Security Administration.

A few days ago, Congress passed the so-called One Big Beautiful Budget Bill Act. After its enactment, the Social Security Administration sent an email to millions of Americans celebrating the law’s passage and making false claims about the new law. This an unprecedented partisan, political act by the Social Security agency and is sadly misleading.
