As a retired public school teacher from Michigan, I am familiar with Betsy DeVos's position on education and fear that our public schools are endangered. I have witnessed charter schools at work in Michigan often times with poor results. Under the emergency manager in Michigan, schools have been taken over with private managers with poor results. If no profit is seen, the schools are then abandoned. We need education not profit in our schools.

If you are concerned about one, then I call on you to be concerned about all. Give us a great "MEMORY" . Keep your promise.

I am disabled and receive Social Security Disability. I don't know how I'd live without Social Security Disability and I'm sure there are tens of thousands others like me.

Sean Spicer's bumbling, insensitive, false, and outright bizarre statements on Syria and Nazi atrocities proved he is unfit to do his job at the White House. He must go.

President Trump's trips to Mar-A-Lago are costing the taxpayers millions of dollars each trip, not to mention the costs incurred by the local law enforcement agencies. It's time he becomes fiscally responsible and use the retreat specially designated for Presidents.

No Passenger should be treat this way. Why does United treat its customer this way? Where is the right of the consumer? It could be me or you next time. United CEO holds ultimate responsibility for his employees actions.

The California Values Act will help all of us be safe. People who are undocumented can contact law enforcement when they are victimized or witness a crime. This makes us all safer. If people who are undocumented are fearful of the law, then all of us will suffer. California must stand up to Trump and stop the state’s law enforcement personnel from being part of Trump’s Mass Deportation Army.

As one of seven constituents who met with Abraham's Monroe staff and District Director and subsequently had our concerns deemed not important enough to pass along to the Congressman and his DC staff -- and were told that Abraham had already "made up his mind" on the proposed health care bill and nothing we said would sway him -- I feel that Rep. Abraham should face his constituents and speak for himself. The people he represents deserve that and we deserve to have our concerns heard and taken to heart when Abraham is making decisions on our behalf in Washington.

I had grandparents who fled Cossacks in Russia and thankfully immigrated from Poland to the US before the Holocaust. My family appreciates the grace and dignity of a human life, and we stand for justice for all those who are being persecuted today. #Indivisible

Previous legislation by the NC Legislature mandated reduced class size in grades K-3, BUT no money was allocated for this mandate. In Wake County, NC, for example, this results in needing 400 new teachers and classrooms for the 2017-18 school year. BEGINNING WITH THE 2017-18 SCHOOL YEAR: THE ONLY WAY MOST NC SCHOOL DISTRICTS CAN FULFILL THIS UNFUNDED MANDATE IS BY ELIMINATING ALL ELEMENTARY ART, MUSIC AND P.E. TEACHERS AND TURNING THE GYM, ART & MUSIC ROOMS INTO CLASSROOMS. HB13 eliminates the mandated class size requirements in the previous legislation until funding and space are created.

Sean Spicer just told a room full of reporters that Hitler "didn't even sink to using chemical weapons" when describing Bashar Assad's alleged use of chemical gas on Syrian citizens. His apparent ignorance and his on-the-record erasure of the horrors of the Holocaust and the Nazi extermination of millions of people, including 6 million Jews—many in chemical gas chambers—is disgusting. Bashar Assad's alleged use of chemical gas on Syrian men, women, and children is horrifying. But Spicer's statement—denying Hitler's use of chemical gas to asphyxiate and kill innocent people—is wholly unacceptable. And it needs be the end of his tenure as White House Press Secretary. He has lost every shred of credibility as a public spokesperson. Since Trump's dangerous, hate-filled presidential campaign, white nationalist violence and aggression has surged across the country. If Spicer is allowed to remain as a spokesperson for the White House, he puts all of us in danger.

On April 10, 55 Members of the House sent a bipartisan letter to President Trump and Attorney General Sessions demanding that President Trump seek authorization from Congress before escalating militarily in Yemen. Rep. Mark Pocan said, “Administration officials have proposed the U.S. participate directly in an attack on Yemen's major port. Such an attack could push the country into full-blown famine...this letter is a first step in reasserting our Constitutional check on presidential powers. I am committed to pursuing all tools at our disposal to ensure President Trump abides by our Constitution before possibly plunging our country into another senseless conflict.” Rep. Ted Lieu said, “President Trump does not have the authority to send U.S. forces to battle the Houthis in Yemen, period." [1] On April 6, President Trump attacked Syria without congressional authorization. Many Members of Congress have said that President Trump did not have authority for this attack and must seek authorization from Congress before any further military action. [2] But in his required 48-hour notification to Congress on April 8 on the Syria strike, President Trump said he would "take additional action, as necessary and appropriate." He did not say he would seek authorization from Congress before taking "additional action." [3] Under the War Powers Resolution, a single Member of Congress can force a debate and vote on U.S. participation in an unauthorized war. [4] Press your representatives to pledge to invoke the War Powers Resolution to explicitly prohibit military escalation in Syria and Yemen by signing our petition.
