• Gun control in California
    Gun control and assault weapon ban should be a must in California. I'm a teacher and we had three major lockdowns in our school district After Unfortunate incident of Sandy Hook elementary school. This is not right and fair to our students, teachers and administrators. Please work on this issue ASAP. Thanks

  • Protecting our Constitutional Rights
    National and state discussions are focused on our 2nd amendment rights. Many ideas proposed by state and national officals seek to limit that right, because it is arguable that it could increase our safty. Befor we continue to discuss the idea limiting the second amendment. I think we need to look at the recent changes to constitution that have also limited and even voided our 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th amendment rights. Many people might not be completely aware of these changes and this should be taken into consideration when making adjectments to the second amendment.

  • Equality for Women
    Women do not have the same rights as men in the Military. We should be able to get whatever position we want as long as we earn it just like men. It is unfair and there reasoning is because we are untrustworthy and can't cover the men. This should not be an opinion but a fact that women can be just as successful as men in the Military. I do not want to compare it to racism, but it is very similar! Women should have equal rights and gender bans in the Military should be non existent.

  • Stop suction dredge mining in Oregon rivers
    Gold miners pay almost nothing to access Oregon rivers/streams to suction river bed gravels for gold. These floating gas/diesel powered motors pollute the water, the process degrades the river bed for salmon spawning, and the returning sand/gravel/mud turns the clear water muddy. Oregon taxpayers are left holding the bill for cleanup. California has banned this practice statewide.

  • LaPierre: STOP mis-stating the constitution
    We the people should not have to put up with Wayne LaPierre's misinterpretation of the constitution. I plead with the government and media to STOP giving him ANY credence NOW. The right to bear arms does not equal the right for people to own semiautomatic weapons! If a gun that shoots nuclear weapons is invented, should that be legal too? Why not shoulder-fired missiles? Come on people! This guy must be stopped and people need to get a grip.

  • Eliminate for-profit public schools
    Our tax dollars should not be going to public charter schools run by for-profit companies. These schools hurt our state by lowering the salaries of public school teachers and taking state per-pupil funding away from districts. These for-profit charter schools are not increasing student achievement when compared to district schools in the same area, but less state funding goes to education as more goes to administration and corporations' profit margins.

  • No to Voter Suppression
    If America is supposed to be the leader of democracy worldwide, we need to set a good example. Suppressing the vote in any form, from complicated ID requirements to redistricting to disenfranchise votes, making voting difficult is fundamentally UN-democratic - frankly, unpatriotic. This is becoming a growing problem nationally and must be addressed in every state. Voters need easy access to their polling booths - voting needs to be easily accessible to anyone who is qualified to vote.

  • STOP the GOP !!!
    The GOP doesn't want your vote to count. They successfully redistricted a number of GOP led states and produced a Republican majority in Congress, EVEN THOUGH Democrats received more actual votes! Now they want to nationalize the gerrymandering!

  • Support Ranked Choice Voting for Maine’s Governor
    Maine has a strong political independent streak and that should be encouraged. However, our politicians should be elected with majority support, ensuring the values of the majority our state are represented. Ranked Choice Voting significantly reduces spoiler candidate scenarios as well as mudslinging. The system works remarkably well in Portland, as seen when the city elected its first mayor in decades. Let’s see it work for state politicians as well.
