The electoral college has become an impediment to our democracy. We should be electing our president through a simple majority vote.

America was built on dissent. America was built on debate. America was built on freedom of speech. To suggest that it is treason to show a lack of support for the president or what he says is an attack on our way of life and breaks down the possibility for civil discourse and disagreement over policies. We must demand a higher moral standard from those who represent us. We must expect those who lead us to aspire to a greater and more just nation. Allowing Trump to make these baseless and dangerous accusations puts all of us at greater risk. As President Roosevelt said, "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." We deserve a president who will build upon the greatness of those who have come before us to lift us up higher, not a president who will tear down anyone and anything in service of his own glory.

I am an American and this administration is attacking our democracy.

How Dare a Judge, who is supposed to be impartial, take large sums of money to decide an extremely important issue like fair elections. Yet there does NOT seem to be any real response from so-called civil minded, follow the law Republicans, who are supposed to believe in doing the right thing for this country. Yet as with our president, they seem to follow Putin's game plan: Undermine the voting right of ALL Americans and a fair election. Just like the Republicans in Alabama, North Carolina, and the Big Ripoff in Texas, these Judges and the cronies in our government are UNAMERICAN and are playing into PUTIN'S Hands.

Our state Senate president wants to keep Pennsylvania’s gerrymandered district lines exactly as they are – even if it means breaking the law. Pennsylvania’s political districts are so wildly gerrymandered that the state Supreme Court ordered the legislature to throw out the congressional maps and draw new ones before the next election. But Senate President Joe Scarnati has refused. He’s appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. And now he’s defying a Pennsylvania Supreme Court order asking for data on the state’s current district boundaries so that the court can prepare to redraw district lines if the legislature won’t do it. Senate leaders have rigged the system for long enough. Tell Senator Scarnati that even though he’s the Senate President, he still must follow the law like everyone else. Urge him to stop defending gerrymandered districts.

There is overwhelming evidence indicating that: 1) Russia aggressively interfered in our elections 2)There were numerous previously denied contacts between Trump staff and Russian agents 3) There are numerous financial links between Trump and Russia 4)The Trump admin. has opposed and illegally refused to impose Congress's Russian sanctions. 5)There has been active interference in the investigation with firing of FBI and DOJ officials and pressure to stop the inquiry. Pres. Trump must allow a thorough investigation or resign!

The rebuttal memo by the Democratic Party members of the House Intelligence Committee should be released : either by President Trump, House Speaker Ryan; or Special Prosecutor Mueller should order its release if neither the Legislative nor the Executive branch are forthcoming.

Fake biased news has divided the country and is destroying our institutions by misleading and deliberately deceiving the public to further a political agenda. Let the truth be known. Knowledge is power!

Why is it even a question that cannabis should be legalized for recreational as well as medical use for adults? New Jersey has the highest property taxes in America! With the millions or billions of tax dollars the sale of legal cannabis would provide, it would help us immensely!! In addition, if all cannabis is legalized and regulated, it will be much safer because we will know where it came from, and what is in it !! I am also advocating strict penalties for allowing minors to gain access to it. This is what they are already doing in Colorado and the other states. Additionally, and most importantly, none of the states that have fully legalized cannabis are back peddling. With nine states participating already, that speaks volumes. Let's bring New Jersey out of the Dark Ages and into the 21st Century!

Donald Trump has repeatedly shown that he is motivated to compromise that investigation and is setting the stage through Devin Nunes' memo to make a case to the American people that the investigation should be ended. Congress needs to pass legislation to preserve the integrity of our governing system and reinforce that nobody is above the law.

President Trump has decided that his personal interests supercede the right of the American people to know whether he or his business interests have conducted any illegal business with entities or individuals connected to governments or illegal cartels hostile to the interests of the United States. The Presidential Candidate Tax Transparency Act requires certain candidates for President or Vice President of the United States to file copies of certain federal income tax returns and written consent for the disclosure of those federal income tax returns with the State Board of Elections no later than 65 days before a presidential general election; requiring the State Board to make federal income tax returns filed by candidates for President or Vice President of the United States publicly available on the State Board's website; etc.
