The Obama administration has proved to be more damaging to the environment and endangered species then even the Reagan administration some thirty years ago. The assault on our public lands and wildlife has got to stop.

After watching Donald Trump on ABC's Kelly and Michael, it occurred to me I had never seen hatred celebrated and welcomed on network TV with enthusiasm; the idea that radical and extreme hatred and intolerance is being normalized with a warm welcome is appalling.

We as a people have a choice to drive more Eco friendly vehicles. And should not be punished and taxed for our choices. If the government cannot secure the funds it wants, than it needs to find a new resource, NOT tax the people!

We demand that all county, state, municipal and special police agencies, jails and prisons receiving federally funded grants, loans or, equipment – include individual professional liability insurance as a term or condition of employment for all officers.

We live in a state founded on the principles of religious pluralism and now more than ever we need to live up to our ideals.

This is a request to design a Rock Hudson USPS Stamp. He was a Hollywood legend and a lot of people loved him. It would be a brilliant idea to honor his memory so please design a Rock Hudson stamp for everyone that loved him and his looks and his charm and his movies and his plays and his TV shows. Thank You, Susan Kimble

Donald Trump's invitation to Pennsylvania for an address must be withdrawn. His statement about Muslims not being allowed into the United States is like a living in a fool's paradise.

Six months ago Pastor Max Villatoro, a beloved father, husband, pastor, and Iowa City community member was deported to Honduras despite over 40,000 petitions asking immigration officials to stop his deportation. For six months, the Villatoro family has been forced to live thousands of miles apart, separated by our nation’s immoral and unjust immigration system. We cannot allow this tragic situation to go on. We must continue to tell Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson that six months is too long -- it’s time to bring Pastor Max home! Because of our shameful immigration system, Max’s children have been left without a father. Gloria, his wife, has been left to support her family and raise her children by herself. And the community as a whole has been left to deal with the loss of a true leader. Max should never have been deported away from his family and community. The last six months have been too long -- let’s join together and bring Max home. We we will not give up. Our struggle to keep the Villatoro family together continues as we work to reunite Max with his family and community. Through generous donations, we have been able to send Max’s children to Honduras to visit their father and to support the family as they await Max’s return. Advocates in Iowa and DC continue to put pressure on government officials to reverse Max’s deportation order, but we can’t do it without you. Here's more on Pastor Max's story: Pastor Max was detained early in the morning on Tuesday, March 3, by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) as he stepped outside his family's home. He wasn’t given a chance to say goodbye to his wife and four U.S. citizen kids – Anthony, Edna, Angela, and Aileen. Max is the pastor of the Iglesia Menonita Torre Fuerte (First Mennonite Church) in Iowa City. He has lived in the U.S. for more than 20 years. Max was originally targeted for deportation because of an immigration identification related charge from 1999. His detention and deportation is absolutely devastating to his family, his church and the community where he has been a leader for years. Pastor Max is a model of what it means to be a servant leader in his community. He has worked for years to strengthen Iowa City and to care for his neighbors. Each day he demonstrates incredible compassion, faith and character. In February, President Obama said that ICE officials would be held accountable for deporting individuals who qualify for relief. As a pastor, community leader and father of U.S. citizen children, Max clearly presents no public safety or security threat and therefore should qualify for relief through the President’s recent immigration executive order. And, even though a federal judge has temporarily delayed some of the President’s immigration actions, ICE guidelines state that immigrants like Max should not be a deportation priority. Max should not have been deported before he had a chance to qualify for relief.

Donald Trump espouses views that are anti-American, racist, bigoted, and mysogonistic.

Donald Trump is a racist who has made countless inhumane and racial remarks about minorities, treating them as if they are subhuman and as though he has no compassion for anyone who isn't of his own demographic. If Donald Trump is in office, he will make many enemies for us in the United States, ruining our safety and possibly our freedom as a nation. This man is narcissistic and senile and unless he plans to seek help and get medicated, he shouldn't be making it this far in the race to be president and he CANNOT BE IN THIS COUNTRY. KICK HIM OUT.

As a long-time customer of TD Ameritrade, I was dismayed to learn that TD Bank and TD Securities has financed Smith & Wesson, gun manufacturers, whose firearms were used in the San Bernardino massacre. I join Public Advocate of the City of New York Letitia James, who cites $280 million in loans TD Bank has facilitated for Smith & Wesson in calling for the dismantling of this support. Gun violence is a horrifying and all-too-frequent reality; in a country that now has more guns than people, as a Congressional Research Report has found, banking customers, clients, and shareholders must stand against the financial support gun manufacturers receive. TD Bank and TD Securities: we call on you to back the corporate responsibility you promote with action, and relinquish support for firearms manufacturers.

Last Wednesday, ExxonMobile received a subpoena demanding financial records, emails and other internal documents. The New York Times reports that the attorney general launched the investigation alleging that as far back as 1977, the corporation was conducting research on the catastrophic effects of carbon emissions on global temperatures yet chose to repeatedly lie to investors. Through a network of outside organizations, ExxonMobile has worked for decades to create uncertainty about climate change, while knowing full well the consequences we would all have to face. This is a pivotal moment in our struggle- a chance to end the lies once and for all, and start working together for a sustainable future.
