Paul Ryan blocked the delivery by Planned Parenthood volunteers of petitions bearing 90,000 signatures from people who say they do not want Planned Parenthood defunded. Ryan has also had his phone and fax lines blocked.

The bills that the Minnesota legislature are proposing I feel are infringing on our first amendment rights. They trying to make it hard for the people to assemble peacefully by increasing the penalties on the protesters. The bills the Minnesota legislature are numbered HF55, HF322, HF390, and SF148.

Repealing ACA without a sound and fair replacement is reprehensible. Congress and the House of Representatives must stop politicizing health care, too many lives are at stake. Roskam must take a stand to save lives.

End the Rohingyan Genocide.

Pulling out of the United Nations would have detrimental effects on our relationships with other countries including our allies. Tell congress we won't stand for this!

During the campaign President Trump brilliantly used the press and social media to create an alternative reality in which facts are fungible. Whether or not we supported his candidacy we must not allow this to continue as his administration governs. Suggesting that there are "alternative facts" is nothing more than code for lies. The press must hold President Trump and his advisors and staff to the highest ethical and moral standards and must relentlessly push back against deceit and untruths. Our representatives must do the same and have the courage to speak truth to power.

For decades now, voices have wished to have their individual votes counted when voting for the President of The United States of America and past presidents have been confirmed against the majority of voters by using an outdated electoral college system. This must be removed and officially replaced with the popular vote.

Katie Rich, an SNL writer, mocked and attacked Barron Trump, a 10 year old boy, online. She has not offered an apology. This is cyber bullying, which is a crime in many states.

The Republican Party has promised America a better plan than the Affordable Healthcare Act. They have promised to Repeal and Replace it. To repeal it without a replacement would be a bait-and-switch maneuver that would cause harm to millions of people who have come to rely on the healthcare that they are presently receiving.

Donald Trump did not receive a majority of the popular vote. Kelly Ann Conway states only the media is concerned about Mr. Trump refusing to release his tax returns. I strongly disagree-President Trump should provide full disclosure otherwise his presidency will be seen as one that invites suspicion of corruption and crony-capitalism

As a parent of two young kids, I'm so grateful for PBS Kids, which provides free shows and games my kids love--and helps them learn. But news reports say that for the third year in a row, Donald Trump's team is planning on slashing funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a primary funder of PBS. In his 2020 budget proposal, the federal government would cut funding to CPB by 90% in the first year alone. PBS Kids includes so many great shows, like Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Thomas and Friends, and Dinosaur Train. PBS Kids and other public media reach 68% of all kids age two to eight. These shows are especially important for low-income and underserved children who do not attend pre-school. PBS funding is a minuscule fraction of the federal budget. **We should be expanding our investments in early childhood education, not cutting proven supports for our littlest learners.** Donald Trump can't make these cuts unless Congress agrees. Let's make sure they hear from millions of parents and others who know the value of PBS and CPB. Please share this and help my organization, ParentsTogether Action, spread the word!!

In this time of political uncertainty and unease, having open, honest, real live discussions among constituents and our congressman is crucial to building trust and confidence that Rep. Stivers understands our interests and is therefore in the best possible position to put those interests forward.
