In a desperate attempt to disenfranchise everyday Americans, Donald Trump once again regurgitated his tired lies about vote-by-mail during the first presidential debate. It’s clear the president thinks that letting every eligible voter be heard isn't in his political interest. That’s despicable. And before November, we must make sure that our friends, family, and neighbors have the facts: Mail-in voting is a paper-based system that’s safe and accessible. It can easily be audited to ensure election results are correct -- and it has already been tested and proven secure in states across the country. That’s why many leading Republican and Democratic officials have long supported vote-by-mail. And even though mail-in ballots take a little longer to tally, so we may not get results on Election Night this year -- that’s okay. Because ensuring that every last vote is counted is far more important than getting results quickly. No matter what Trump says, our election officials must focus on ensuring that voters can safely make themselves heard this fall -- whether they want to vote early, by mail, or in-person on Election Day. If you agree, add your name now.

Following the first Presidential debate on September 29, 2020, I could not sleep. My mind was plagued with fears and insecurities about the integrity of our political system and our very democracy. The root of these concerns was the appalling behavior of President Trump during the debate. He must not be granted the opportunity to make his case for hatred, racism, voting fraud, and intolerance again. Very few people are still making up their minds, and many people have already cast their ballots. Rather than being the persuasive and informative forum that they are supposed to be, the debates are only serving to sew seeds of distrust in the American system and advance Donald Trump's dangerous agenda. They must not continue to go forward.

The electorate wants to hear fair debate over substantive issues. When candidates speak over one another, nothing of value is provided to the electorate.

This is important because it will help the non-binary students feel more safe and comfortable using the bathroom at school.

This is alarming: senior Pentagon officials are reportedly unsure of what they’ll do if Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and sends active-duty troops to our cities and towns in the face of political unrest following the election. The military takes a vow to the Constitution, not to the president — but the president IS the Commander in Chief. And the violence that could be unleashed in our communities after the election has our staff BEYOND worried. The good news is Congress gave a President this authority, and that means they can revoke it. And legislation that does just that — the CIVIL Act — was introduced in Congress earlier this summer. Now it’s up to us to raise the alarm and the political pressure to get this legislation the attention it needs right now — and make using the Insurrection Act so toxic that even Trump thinks twice before touching it. Urge your members of Congress to limit Trump’s ability to wage war in our communities by cosponsoring the CIVIL Act.

To ensure a better and fair democracy for voters we should allow 3rd party candidates to debate. Not allowing these candidates onto the debate stage is not only undemocratic but is also an injustice to all voters to not be allowed to see all of their options for president

It is important, so not only studnet-athletes but all students, in general, will have a healthy choice every day. We are paying for food that most of us don't like.

The globe is all the way from the 1950s and was made to hold natural gas as a high pressure storage tank. It’s important to Savannah’s history. It’s one of the first things you see when you enter the city and is also noticeable from the road while driving. Many of us grew up looking at it as they drove away so it’s personal to local lives. Tearing it down to replace it with yet another gas station (there are several already in the area) is wrong. Not only is it historical, but it’s iconic, nostalgic, and personal to many Savannah citizens. The early 20th century was a time where architecture was thought of differently. Many buildings shaped like literal objects, such as a the Donut Hole donut shop, were built to represent different things. Over the years, they have been torn down more and more, and there aren’t many left. Don’t let them tear this one down too! It is part of a group not only important to Savannah’s history, but also national history.

Many of these dog owners take advantage of the designated areas in Sunset Park during off-leash hours. Off-leash areas offer the opportunity for dogs to exercise and interact with other dogs. This produces well­-behaved, non­-aggressive dogs that add a positive aspect to the community. Many owners are not able to go to the park areas for a variety of reasons. Some work during off-leash hours, some are concerned with going to the park when it is dark, and some are unable to walk far from home. The community needs a fenced-in area for unleashed dogs that is able to stay open during the day. We are not asking for a brand new area to be built just for us. Just the allowance of using one of the gated areas that no one uses.

I am a 10th grader in RKA. I have seen that not only do my peers and I need a break from screens, but also do our teachers. Students of all ages are bound to their screens for hours at end due to the unprecedented Covid-19. Staring at screens for hours is unhealthy and can lead to screen fatigue, which many of us suffer from. In the spring last school year, we had Zoom meetings with our teachers only 2-3 times a week, and the productivity in students was the same as it is now if not better.
