House Judiciary · GRANITE + HOMEFRONT

Call your Representative about the two bills.

Both the GRANITE Act (H.R.10174) and the HOMEFRONT Act (H.R.10309) sit in the House Judiciary Committee. Neither has been scheduled for a hearing. The most useful thing a constituent can do this week is ask their Representative — especially if they sit on Judiciary — to co-sponsor and to publicly ask Chairman Jordan for a hearing.

GRANITE Act: H.R.10174 · Rep. Rulli (R-OH-6) · Introduced Aug 27, 2026 HOMEFRONT Act: H.R.10309 · Rep. Davidson (R-OH-8) · Introduced Sept 8, 2026 Committee: House Judiciary

Step 1

Find your Representative and their office phone.

Ninety seconds. The House’s official lookup tool takes your ZIP code and returns your Representative and their DC and district office numbers.

Step 2

Call the DC office. Use this script.

Congressional staff log every constituent call. Two minutes is enough.

30-second phone script

“Hi, my name is [your name] and I’m a constituent in [city, ZIP]. I’m calling to ask Representative [last name] to co-sponsor the GRANITE Act (H.R. 10174) and the HOMEFRONT Act (H.R. 10309), and to publicly ask Chairman Jordan to schedule House Judiciary hearings on both.”

“These are bipartisan-appropriate free-speech bills. On September 14, a federal court in Washington held that Americans have no court to sue in when foreign regulators threaten us with fines and imprisonment for constitutionally protected speech on American soil. These two bills close that gap. There is no reason Judiciary shouldn’t hold hearings before the year is out.”

“Please pass on that a constituent is asking Representative [last name] to lead on these. Thank you.

Step 3

Email backup.

After you call, send the same message in writing through your Representative’s contact form. It becomes part of the constituent file.

Subject: Please co-sponsor GRANITE (H.R.10174) and HOMEFRONT (H.R.10309) and request Judiciary hearings
Dear Representative [Last Name], As your constituent in [City, State ZIP], I’m writing to ask you to co-sponsor the GRANITE Act (H.R. 10174) and the HOMEFRONT Act (H.R. 10309), and to publicly ask Chairman Jordan to schedule House Judiciary hearings on both. On September 14, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed 4chan’s constitutional challenge to UK Ofcom’s enforcement of the UK Online Safety Act on foreign sovereign immunity grounds. The court did not decide whether Ofcom’s conduct was lawful. It expressly declined to decide whether Ofcom violated the plaintiffs’ First Amendment rights. And it pointed to Congress as the only body that can change the result. GRANITE and HOMEFRONT are the answer to that invitation. Both bills close the FSIA gap and would let Americans threatened with foreign censorship on American soil obtain relief in an American court. The question is upstream of party alignment: no American should have to answer to a foreign censor for exercising rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. Please co-sponsor both bills and publicly request Judiciary hearings before the end of this Congress. Thank you, [Your Name] [Your Street Address] [City, State ZIP] [Phone Number]

Step 4 (Optional but high-leverage)

If your Rep sits on House Judiciary, tell them so on the call.

House Judiciary members can push Chairman Jim Jordan to schedule hearings directly. If your Representative is on the committee, saying so on the call meaningfully changes the ask. The current committee roster is available on the House Judiciary members page.

Why this matters — from the coalition.

Every American who publishes online is, functionally, a “service accessible from the United Kingdom.” Under yesterday’s ruling, that means every American who publishes online is functionally reachable by any foreign regulator that wants to fine them, with no American court to challenge it. GRANITE and HOMEFRONT close that gap. They are bipartisan-appropriate, they are viewpoint-neutral, and they answer directly to a federal court’s explicit invitation to Congress. Ask your Representative to lead.
