Senator Blunt's office is extremely hard to get through to and often the lines are busy and the voicemail is full. Several groups of his constituents have had talks with his staff at his mobile offices asking for town halls and have been told that he just does not do them. When further questioned by one constituent as to why he does not hold them they were told: "he just doesn't". Senator Blunt is a public servant and needs to be accountable to the people who voted him into office

I feel strongly about the rights of immigrants in this country and would like my University to be one that embraces immigrants and resists Trump's unlawful and un-American immigration policy.

There is more going on in the news then President Trump's constant attempts to get himself on TV 24/7. CNN should be covering significant new and news worthy events. "Breaking News" should not be giving free air time to non substantive events done in the style of a reality TV show. Please bring important and real breaking news back to CNN.

We want to be able to speak to our elected officials and hear what they have to say.

The hundreds of millions of dollars in free TV advertising provided by mainstream media to Donald Trump was a contributing factor in his election. It is ludicrous that Trump began his 2020 campaign today (2/18/17), but it is even more ludicrous that CNN and MSNBC are broadcasting it live. The undersigned believe that media outlets should report on campaign rallies but SHOULD NOT BROADCAST THEM IN THEIR ENTIRETY because doing so is providing an unethical and years-long election advantage to Mr. Trump over anyone else who may choose to run against him.

Funding for the NEA, NEH and CPB combined account for just 0.02 percent of the federal budget. We spend 1/40th of what Germany does on government funded arts programs--they average $20 per citizen, we a measly 41 cents. And it is not only Western Europe where the arts are deemed crucial to the continuation of their culture and society. Mexico, Uzbekistan and the Balkans all spend a greater percentage of their national budgets on arts education and programming or allow artists to pay their federal taxes through the donation of a work of art for the benefit and education of their citizens. The country currently faces great uncertainty and fear given the bullying and fascistic governing style of Donald Trump and his appointees. At a time when so many of us are worried about access to healthcare, the need to combat and solve climate change and the disturbing erosion of our civil rights, protecting the arts and humanities may not be at the top of your list. But the arts and humanities not only remind us what it means to be human but also provide us with inspiration, joy and a much-needed respite from the chaos of Trumpism.

According to the Associated Press, the Trump administration is considering a plan mobilize as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up millions of undocumented immigrants in states along the southern border. This includes states like California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas; as well as states adjacent to border states, like Oregon, Nevada, Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah, and Louisiana. Governors have the final approval on National Guard deployments. This means Donald Trump’s plan won’t work without the support of Governors. So if we want to stop the systematic removal of millions of aspiring Americans from the United States by the National Guard, we need to make sure Governors in the targeted states hear from their constituents. Please join with me and demand that Governor Susana Martinez does not authorize the New Mexico National Guard from joining Donald Trump’s Deportation Force.

Trump's family business trips and vacations cost taxpayers over $11 million in just his first month in office. That $11 million paid for security on Trump's children's business trips on behalf of the Trump business organization and for Trump's three trips to the Mar-a-Lago resort, which he owns. By contrast, the Obamas' personal travel expenses averaged $12 million per year through eight years in office. In light of this exorbitant spending, Representative Earl Blumenauer introduced the No Taxpayer Revenue Used to Monetize the Presidency Act, or, the No TRUMP Act, to prohibit the use of taxpayer funds to pay for events, overnight stays, food, and other miscellaneous expenses at hotels owned or operated by a president or his or her relatives. What's worse, while the taxpayers continue to pay millions for him to play golf, Trump recently unveiled his cruel and immoral budget plan that would cut funding to PBS, NEA, Meals on Wheels, heat assistance, and other important social services. Essentially, we, the taxpayers, are paying exorbitant sums for the wealthy Trumps to further enrich themselves personally. It's hypocrisy and it's unfair to taxpayers. Lawmakers must find a way to limit extravagant spending by this administration—especially when it profits the president personally—and prevent similar behavior by future administrations and presidents.

Rep. Don Bacon is not doing his job. We, his constituents, are affected by his choice not to meet with us. We are denied access to Rep. Bacon and cannot ask him questions or tell him what we, his constituents, see as issues impacting us and asking him to address and fight for the needs of his constituents in DC.

This is a particularly precarious moment in the new Congress. Tom Cole must hear the concerns of his constituents before taking up legislation, not wait until the August recess to hear responses to previous legislation.
