Our traditional celebration honored our country. I don't want trump to cheapen our legacy of a free country and further deface the licoln memorial by speaking about himself. President lincoln sought to unite america not divide it as trump has done. If we turn off his shameful appearance , he will lose most of his audience and not get the attention he constantly craves. The media might take note and perhaps help us achieve a greater number signatures from people who agree.

Guaranteed basic income has been demonstrated to be an incredibly effective method of alleviating poverty and many ancillary problems associated with poverty. UBI is also a powerful tool in the fight for social and racial justice. Lastly, UBI is good for the economy.

Hubbard County Social Services provides support to the most vulnerable members of the community: abused and neglected children and adults. The current leadership has caused a toxic work environment, leading to over 50% staff turnover in two years. Last year, the county board decided that in lieu of investigating the problem, they would hire a consultant to find out why the department has become so dysfunctional. Since then, the board has refused to abide by the consultant’s recommendations. Between hiring and ignoring an expensive consultant and paying for interviewing, hiring, and training new staff, the county board is wasting tens of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money, all while continuing to put the community members who rely on county services at serious risk.

Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act has made healthcare affordable and efficient. If Trump-Republicans don't like it they should be forced to enroll in Trumpcare and leave those that have benefitted from the ACA the hell alone.

I live in a rural area of Lucasville OH and we have had extremely unreliable phone and internet service for years. The areas we experience trouble is Rush, Union and Morgan townships, specifically. We rely on land lines because of a lack of cell towers and reliable cell signal. There are elderly and disabled individuals who desperately need working communication services. We have been told by Frontier customer service that we are getting fiberoptic internet in our area, only to be informed later by service technicians that we will not be getting it on our road or those past us. We pay for services not being rendered. The bill comes regardless of whether or not we have service and we pay because we have no other alternatives. We are formally requesting that fiberoptic internet and reliable phone service be provided in our areas as soon as possible.

The U.S. allots over half our discretionary spending to the military. This encourages war and deficit spending while taking resources from higher priorities like environmental restoration, healthcare and education. This must be reversed.

In light of current news of nation-state interference in US elections, every state has the responsibility to safeguard its entire election process against rigging, hacking and computer errors. According to election security experts, only hand marked paper ballots, robustly audited by publicly witnessed hand counts, can protect our elections by catching tallying errors - whether due to rigging, hacking or computer error - after the fact. New York currently has no reliable path to 100% hand count, which courts have prevented even in very close elections (e.g. Johnson v. Martin, Nassau County, 2010). Currently, NYS law allows vendors to choose which voting machines to submit for certification. We need to establish an RFP process and outlaw voting machines that can print over voter-marked or voter-approved ballots - the only ones vendors are currently submitting for certification! And we need to establish a right to recount like 43 other states have in close elections or upon candidate- and voter-petition initiative. Otherwise, our elections are invitations to riggers and hackers. And now the courts have ruled that voters and reporters can’t ever see the ballot images - the photos taken by our scanners - because they must be preserved and therefore can’t be FOILed for two years - after which they can be destroyed! That must be reversed by legislation. Public display of ballot images would be a way for voters to verify for ourselves the accuracy of the computer count.

The straw upon request movement is a simple way to get people to reduce there impact on our amazing planet. Straw upon request means when you buy beverage or go to a restaurant they will ask you before they give you a straw. Every day people use over 500 million straws. Save the truffles - straw less NJ - stop sucking

The debate format works best with just two debaters and is useless with 10 candidates on-stage, who are competing for attention instead explaining their positions. Instead, candidates would be randomly assigned debate partners as well as their debate location. The debates would ask the same questions and be held simultaneously so no candidate gets an unfair advantage and would give every candidate a fair chance to state why they believe they are the best person to lead the country. By posting videos of all the debates on-line, we could listen to the responses of all candidates to each question to more easily figure out who gave the best answers and whose answers most closely matched our own ideas, as well as which candidates avoided giving real answers to hard questions. On-line voting could be used to assess which answers were most popular instead of who shouted loudest or expressed the most outrageous statements.
