Contact Your Legislators About AI Regulation

Beaumont & Sheridan — Information resource for individual creators

How This Works

Enter your zip code. You get the people who represent you at every level of government — local, state, and federal — each with a direct link to their official contact form and a letter that names the live issues in your area.

This is not a petition. Petitions get counted by interns and summarized in a report nobody reads. This opens the official inbox directly. The letter is written for the specific legislator you are sending it to, so it reads like a constituent contact, not a form letter.

Inbox math is real. Fifty emails on one bill — their legislative director notices. Five hundred — they schedule a meeting. Five thousand — they change the vote.

The Letters

Look up your zip above. Each legislator gets a letter scoped to their jurisdiction. The rule is simple: a local issue belongs in every higher letter, but a federal issue goes only to Washington. So the local letter names what is happening in your community; the state letter adds what your state is doing; the federal letter builds on both and adds the bills before Congress.

Find Your Local Officials

City councils, county boards, and mayors control zoning, water, and utility decisions that directly affect data center development and AI infrastructure in your community. The local letter above names the issues within their authority.

State-Level AI Action (Updated August 2026)

Every state is different. When you enter your zip, the letter pulls the live issues and bills for your state specifically — whether that is a data center moratorium in New York, the NAACP v. xAI air-pollution suit in Mississippi, or a water-use fight in California. Where a state has no headline moment this week, the letter names the baseline: the AI transparency, labeling, algorithmic-accountability, and digital-likeness laws that states across the country are passing, and why your state should too.

AI Cannot Be an Inventor

In Thaler v. Vidal, 43 F.4th 1207 (Fed. Cir. 2022), the Federal Circuit held that only a natural person can be an inventor under the Patent Act. The Supreme Court denied certiorari in 2023. The USPTO's revised inventorship guidance (Nov. 2025) reaffirmed this: AI is a tool, not an inventor.

Training Data — The DMCA Gap

The LAION-5B dataset contains 5.85 billion image-text pairs scraped from the web, used to train Stable Diffusion and Google Imagen. haveibeentrained.com lets creators check if their work appears. Removal from the dataset does not un-train models already trained on it. See our Is Your Work in a Dataset? resource.
