In the past year, I have tried to engage with all three of my US Congressmen and have in all three cases been told blatant lies by their staff - that by signing up for their newsletter, I will get an e-mail notification of any public events they hold. This never, never happens. The only event postings I have seen are created by constituents to organize groups to attend town halls, and after-the-fact pictures on their FB feeds. They and their staff are colluding to make it needlessly difficult for the public to engage with them, and this needs to stop. It is undemocratic, un-American, and serves neither the interests of their supporters or their opponents.

The repealing of the Affordable Care Act is going to effect the coverage of millions of Floridians. The healthcare of Florida residents should be a priority and all residents should be afforded the same coverage by all insurance companies that provide health insurance to Florida residents. Floridians need health insurance that provides free preventative care and chronic disease management, coverage of preexisting conditions, free contraceptive and birth control, elimination of lifetime and annual coverage limits, coverage until age 26 under a parent policy, and lower cost of life depending medications.

Freedom of the press is under attack with the unsupported allegations of President Trump that "Fake News" is being presented by the press. This allegation cannot be made if there is no proof to support it. The American people deserve a press free to present us the truth even if that truth is not what President Trump wants us to know.

Please go to http://www.kansasbudget.com to see that the common Republican initiative to cut taxes on the wealthy to improve the economic condition of all DOES NOT WORK! The failed State of Kansas experiment in this regard CLEARLY VERIFIES that the THEORY that cutting taxes on the wealthy to create increased economic activity which benefits everyone, including the poor, DOES NOT WORK! We do not need President Trump and the Federal Congress to impose this rediculous theory on all of us.

I am outraged that once again Native Americans are being abused--their lands desecrated, their water contaminated, all for the short-term profits of Big Banks and Big Oil. I cherish our earth as they do, and mourn its destruction.

The immigrant community is being targeted by the new administration. In many communities, Senators, Governors, Mayors, Sheriffs and Police Department members, have come out to show their support for the community. Governor Cooper, we need your support. La comunidad inmigrante esta siendo atacada por la nueva administracion, recientemente senadores, gobernadores, alcaldes, alguaciles, y departamentos de policia han salido a demostrar su apoyo hacia la comunidad. Gobernador Cooper necesitamos su apoyo.

This bill eliminates the Elementary and Secondary Education Bill of 1965. If passed, it would redistribute Federal funds for public elementary and secondary education in the form of vouchers for eligible students; it would repeal a rule relating to nutrition standards in schools and would cut programs for special needs, advanced, and language learners.

I have been suffering with chronic Lyme Disease for over 7 years with no resolution or therapy to get better..I can no longer function as a member of society due to this illness..there are millions suffering from this pandemic and something needs to be done..people are dying daily due to this illness .

I have colleagues and friends who are being traumatized by the current administration's actions re. immigrants. In my view this is NOT America! Exactly what is America to look like if Trump gets his way and "America is brought back to its greatness?"

I am frightened at the prospect that more Americans will suffer under a deliberate effort of the Trump administration to denigrate immigrants, perpetuate greater economic inequities, severe our ties to our allies and the global economy. I fear the platform that Mr. Trump has given to White Supremacists and others who fail to respect and appreciate our differences.

Our community is 85% Hispanic. We have moved from 4th poorest city to 51st because of growth and investment here. Now law abiding and tax paying people are living in fear of deportation for themselves or a family member. 20,000 Dreamers attend college here and are feeling threatened. This is unnecessary!

The Yemen raid was approved by Trump without adequate planning or investigation, and according to military sources was a complete disaster as a result. The Miami Herald reported today of the anguish caused the father of Ryan Owens as a result of his death, and his request for an investigation. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article135064074.html It would be hypocrisy of the first order for Rep. Chaffetz not to investigate how this happened with the same zeal that he investigated Clinton after learning she planned to run for president.
