• Pass SB 2123 as it was FIRST Introduced
    For the citizens of Mississippi. This is to get loved ones out of horrible prisons and back into society. When these men and women get out, they will get jobs and start paying taxes. We can get our prison systems in order and up to code. We can get our loved ones back in our lives every day and not just four hours one day a week. We can get guards that care and are not overworked or just needing a job. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance.

  • Stop the Spread - Shut the Schools
    For many COVID-19 is a life threatening illness. Given the current situation with coronavirus I think FCPS should do the right thing and close the schools for a few weeks. It is clear from the numbers in the rest of the world that if we shut things down now we have a much better chance of containing the virus. I know that we have several snow days already built in to the school year. We can use them now and help stop the spread of the virus. I could keep my own children home but it’s not going to help unless everyone keeps their children home. Below are links to a few articles I’ve found defending this idea: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/coronavirus-cancel-everything/607675/ And https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca If we take things seriously and “quarantine” now we can prevent this virus from overwhelming our medical system like it seems to have done in Northern Italy. But we need our leadership to guide us. I promise I will defend you when other parents complain that closing the schools is an over reaction. Believe me when I say I don’t look forward to spending weeks at home with my children (even though I love them very much!)

  • MASS Peaceful Protest in Washington DC
    Going to the voting booth is NOT ENOUGH !! I live in Idaho. I will be there. That is the kind of commitment we need to send this message and get results. He is the enemy of every US citizen and needs to be stopped; Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham as well.

  • Make Texas Legal
    It is important for Texas to legalize marijuana because the 'War on Drugs' has been a lost war when you look at the studies and you look at the numbers. Multiple states as well as other countries around the world, already have legalized marijuana. Is simple but, complicated matter Has been cutting the Drug Cartels' profitability margin simply forcing them to resort to other ways to make money. states as well as other countries that have legalized marijuana for medical purposes as well as recreational purposes have seen a significant drop in certain area Of concern that has been causing problems for years. States, and Countries tax the legal marijuana to support there needed, while using less Government funding. Let's not forget that marijuana was legal in the United States until 1937 before it became illegal and it was used as medicine to cure nearly everything. And let's not forget that certain people made marijuana illegal due to the fact that minorities were starting to use marijuana to heal themselves and it wasn't just used by the high-class anymore, which is why it became illegal.

  • National Media - Stop preemptive TV coverage of every Trump public address
    It is important to limit pre-emptive coverage of the president's speeches in the name of fairness since other presidential candidates do not get the benefit of free coverage every time they make a speech. It is important because "breaking news" media coverage that interrupts regular programming gives the president's speeches a weight of importance and veracity that is not necessarily intended or deserved. It is important because we're frankly tired of being forced to suffer commentary that is negative, opinionated, ad hominem, and not important to the good of the country.

  • Investigate Senator Ron Johnson for interfering in 2020 election
    Election interference is unacceptable. This needs to end. Furthermore, 75% of Americans demanded a fair Impeachment Trial and I, along with many other Wisconsin Constituents wrote and/or called Ron Johnson DAILY to demand he vote according to the will of Wisconsin...and he not only never responded nor acknowledged ANY of these demands, he voted in his own interest instead. Ron Johnson needs to resign and be investigated for ethics violations.

  • Save the Circus Stars
    It is important because animals are amazing. And at the end of the day they are beings, too. They have feelings and emotions, so for people to abuse animals you can tell they don't know the true value of animals' lives.

  • Cancel 2020 State of the Union (SOU) Speech
    The decision of our U.S. Senate to not hold Trump accountable for his criminal activities will embolden him and Russia and will place our nation at risk. If allowed to speak from the only Chamber of our government that is holding him accountable, it will send a message to the world that our democracy has fallen. The world is watching us and we cannot be viewed as weak at this most critical time. We must press forward with taming our rogue President and the Republicans who conspire with him to destroy our nation.

  • Foreign Interference in Federal Elections
    Because the Republicans are arguing in the impeachment proceedings that actions taken by persons outside of the United States to influence Federal elections are not a crime and therefore are not impeachable offenses under the Constitution.

  • LET THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION SCHOOL FOOD PROGRAM REMAIN
    This decision would affect less affluent neighborhoods and schools and the majority of our children would suffer. Many children in our schools depend on receiving a healthy meal in school considering it may be the only meal they will eat on a daily basis. If food waste is the predominant factor or concern for dismantling the program, consider giving the students an additional 15 minutes to their mealtime. This affords them time to settle down and enjoy their meal.

  • We Demand All Senators Do Impartial Justice in the Impeachment Trial of President Trump
    This action is unconditionally important in order to preserve and protect our nation's Constitution and Bill of Rights. If Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell conducts a sham or mock trial, this will be an arbitrary act that ends any and all Constitutionally mandated Congressional checks on the power of the Executive Branch. This will nullify our nation's Constitution and open the door to everything from chaos to civil war; and almost certainly to a dictatorship. Our noble experiment in democracy will come to a bitter and likely brutal end.
