Why am I paying Federal Taxes when the federal government will not support our state? Our Governor has done an awesome job because he has not truly called trump and his "team" out. California per Wikipedia ( i know not the best resource, but solid) Economy of California Flag-map of California.svg As a stand-alone country, California would be the 5th largest economy in the world. Statistics GDP $3.137 trillion (2019)[1] GDP growth 4.3% (2018)[2] GDP per capita $79,303 (2019) [3] Population below poverty line 13.3% (absolute)[4] 19.0% (relative) [5] Labor force 19,286,476 (December 2017)[6] Unemployment 3.9% (Feb. 2020)[7] Public finances Expenses $220 billion (2011–12)[8] California's 2017 GDP compared to other states and countries The economy of California is the largest in the United States, boasting a $3.137 trillion gross state product as of 2019.[9] If California were a sovereign nation (2020), it would rank as the world's fifth-largest economy, ahead of India[10] and behind Germany. Additionally, California's Silicon Valley is home to some of the world's most valuable technology companies, including Apple, Alphabet Inc., and Facebook.[11] In total, over 10% of Fortune 1000 companies were based in California in 2018, the most of any state.[12] **** As of now California should succeed from the federal government - why I say this is we give all and now have to fight for our rights as of a State,

We need a national program to defeat COVID-19.

All Essential federal employees are still required to report to work to keep this country running and putting their health and well-being at risk of contracting this deadly virus with no protection or pay incentive being offered during this outbreak.

For the first time the American people are simultaneously experiencing a health, life or death, and financial crises. The government cannot afford to send every adult a monthly check for $1,200. The nation’s economic problems and fixing our national health system, to cope with pandemic viruses, may not be solved within the next 6 months. The coronavirus, COVID-19, is a unique virus and there are no existing and proven vaccines for coronaviruses. Further, automatically waving for 90 days mortgage and rent payments is the most expedient, efficient, and effective method to provide serious and meaningful economic relief for the people, without the Federal Reserve System, a system composed of 12 private banks, printing more money or the government borrowing money and increasing the National Debt. Recall, the National Debt is really the People’s debt. In other words, the National Debt is the debt that will be inherited by your children and their descendants/posterity. To conclude, ten million Americans have been laid off in less than a month. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are expected to die because our federal government continuous to be dysfunctional, over 30 million Americans have no health insurance, and corporate debt is over $5 trillion. State budgets are about to collapse as tax revenues disappear. People who don’t have jobs do not have incomes to pay income taxes. The Bottom line: the health and financial crisis is still accelerating, and the People need a more direct and sustainable economic assistance: to not pay their mortgages or rents for 90 days.

American Indians and Alaskan natives are among the most impoverished and marginalized groups in the United States. Their tribes have often been decimated by the spread of infectious diseases. The coronavirus has caused major problems for indigenous peoples. Because of treaties, the Federal government is responsible for protecting the health and safety of American Indians and Alaskan natives. The year 2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the establishment of Plymouth Colony. What do Americans want to celebrate on Thanksgiving Day?

I;m a concerned citizen who cares about these people, and what he's doing is a felony. The Hospital staff is scared of dying due to The Corona virus, and the hospital staff members walked out of the hospitals and protested that they medical supplies and equipment real bad, and Donald Trump lied that there's a low supply of it until The news media showed that Donald Trump has lied to us and there's stock piles of medical supplies and medical equipment in the ware house, and won't let the hospitals have them right away that'll cause more deaths against the patients and the staff. Which is illegal, and it's a felony!

Indigenous Families have had their power shut off in McLaughlin SD. It is imperative for community safety to keep ALL families in their homes during this pandemic. The population of this town is nearly half Indigenous and is Standing Rock's second largest town.

I live on a golf course and see people daily who ignore the social distancing guidelines. I contacted our golf club's manager and was told all they can do is recommend safety measures and that the golf course cannot enforce these safety measures. I was also told that they had no plan to shut down in the future and would stay open, basically, because they could. Golfers are sharing golf carts and congregating in close proximity to each other at tee boxes and on the greens in clear violation of all that we have been instructed to do by the CDC and by our own governor. People who ignore social distancing recommendations are a health risk to us all. Since the golf courses themselves will not enforce, they must be shut down. The people and businesses who ignore social distancing and stay at home orders are irresponsible and short-sighted as is our Governor who has given his blessing to this. We are further at risk because the golf courses are open. Shut them down and save lives.

There are too many senior citizens and disabled citizens who cannot get out to buy food, let alone have anything delivered. Disabled and seniors living in rural areas, as well as cities, have been hit particularly hard by this outbreak. They need help. Too many disabled citizens are fighting this alone, and they, along with seniors, are going without even the basic necessities. I am hearing from friends within the disabled community that there is little to no support for them through this. They need help now, not weeks from now, but immediate, tangible help and support. As we fight this together, it is incumbent upon us to ensure that no members of our communities are left behind.

Increase in air pollution would lead to more deaths from COVID-19. The current administration should not use this crisis to make any changes to current legislation while the American public is limited in their ability to be informed about or respond to the proposed changes to current legislation. These are NOT changes that have anything to do with our current pandemic crisis, and any discussion of potential changes should be postponed for the health of all U.S. citizens at risk in the current crisis.

Northland Health Center terminated a reputable health care provider with zero regard to our community as well as surrounding communities during a national pandemic. Brenna is an amazing provider who has shown time and time again that she loves her job, works diligently for every patient, and loves her community. We want Brenna back!

We need to be able to make voting easier and more secure, especially during this public health crisis. The long lines that have plagued recent elections, as well as the touch screens and crowded polling places, are now dangerous. We cannot let the pandemic shrink voter turnout. In addition, voting by mail provides a paper trail at a time when election security is increasingly at risk. While several states have already expanded their vote-by-mail options, we would like to see every state — and the federal government — pass vote-by-mail legislation so that all citizens, no matter where they live, can safely vote in November of this year.
