As a veterinarian, I have seen first-hand how medical cannabis benefits animals in ways conventional Western medicine cannot. Currently, veterinarians are being threatened with disciplinary action if they have "involvement in the treatment of an animal with marijuana or hemp." Let's allow veterinarians to do what they are trained to do- provide recommendations for the safe and effective treatment of pets.

I'm genuinely fed up with these short term "solutions" to long term problems. People come to America for the opportunity to be safe and free. They leave their homes because whatever they are leaving behind is way worse than being poverty stricken in America. That says a lot about our nation as a whole and is why I am proud to be American, why we all should be! Unfortunately I think we are using Mexico as scapegoat for our own problems and proposing to waste a ton of money on something that won't change a damnthing. If you build a wall we will still have addicts, criminals and people on welfare. Banning immigrants and building walls won't change that. Changing our perspective will. WHY are there so many opioid addicts? WHAT is going on with Mexico that people want to leave? WHY did that criminal make that choice? HOW could it have been prevented? Look at the big picture! I have seen plenty of media regarding the proposed expansion of the wall, but nothing yet about removing the wall. Let's put people to work removing the border completely.

New York has the opportunity to do something on behalf of the people of the United States of America that we cannot do for ourselves and force the release of the state tax returns of the President. This will also set an excellent legal precedent for future disclosure for ALL of our elected officials who should not be allowed to secretly profit from their public service at the cost of our security and ability to make informed choices of who our representatives are beholden to.

Republicans have no idea how to create a just and fair piece of legislation to improve or replace A.C.A. ( Affordable Care Act). They will push through any piece of garbage, call it Trumpcare, and think they have satisfied their goal of repealing Obamacare, which they are still attempting after 7 years without success. They have no idea how to create a good health care bill with bi-partisanship that will truly help America and make it "Great Again," in Trump's words.

The medical community, the AARP, and the citizens of Arkansas do not want this bill and feel that it is damaging to the health of millions of Americans. We are tired of our elected officials playing partisan politics and demand that you put the best interests of this country ahead of party.

As a woman and Texas resident, I will be greatly affected by the measures included in this reform and could even lose coverage because of pre-existing conditions. I am also concerned for family, friends, low income neighbors and more. Affordable healthcare that does not discriminate should be a right. The ACA isn't perfect, but this is WAY WORSE.

Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro, and Jefferson Parish District Attorney Paul D. Connick, Jr. have admitted they allowed their prosecutors to issue “fake subpoenas,” i.e., notices labeled “SUBPOENA” to witnesses in criminal cases, telling them they had to appear before the District Attorney for questioning. These “fake subpoenas” were issued without judicial approval and, in Orleans Parish, threatened fines or jail time if the recipient ignored them. Every prosecutor who issued a “fake subpoena” should received discipline of no less than a public reprimand and suspension from the practice of law for no less than One Year and One Day.

Maine has about the oldest population in the country. Repealing the ACA will allow insurance companies to charge more for our older citizens. Also, the amount set to help defray the cost for pre-existing conditions is ridiculously low.

Instead of repealing Obamacare, take measures to fix the problems. It is insane that the wealthiest nation has a system where its citizens who have pre-existing conditions cannot afford health insurance or it is not available to them. Don't mess with Medicaid or Planned Parenthood.

Communities on the South and West sides of Chicago are suffering from economic oppression. The lack of investment has increased the level of violence, drug activities and property crimes. During election season candidates come into our communities making promises they never keep. Candidates ask for our support in their candidacy, through volunteer work. Once elected the results of their Platform and campaign promises are nil. The time has come for our communities to make a real statement, for the present and future growth of our communities. The People's Platform will be our way of holding candidates accountable. All candidates will be asked to sign on to the People's Platform. The People's Platform consist of candidates presenting a full economic development plan (with timeline for implementation), including a guaranteed four year investment budget line item, incentives for business development in low income communities, community benefit agreements in all low income communities, funding for developing and supporting After-School and Sports programs, Bank accountability for foreclosed properties (boarded up properties bring the property value down. Banks should maintain the property and put it back on the market in a timely manner), and quarterly meetings/calls with the People's Platform advisory committee. No candidate will receive our support without signing a binding agreement.

I currently use the ACA and it works for me. I am 62 and can not pay higher premiums. I do not want to see anyone lose their coverage.
