I, like many other 15-17 years olds have a part time job. My job does not pay us minimum wage. Having enough money to be able to put some away and to save out for other activities should be available to anyone that has a job, part time or full time.

America was built on dissent. America was built on debate. America was built on freedom of speech. To suggest that it is treason to show a lack of support for the president or what he says is an attack on our way of life and breaks down the possibility for civil discourse and disagreement over policies. We must demand a higher moral standard from those who represent us. We must expect those who lead us to aspire to a greater and more just nation. Allowing Trump to make these baseless and dangerous accusations puts all of us at greater risk. As President Roosevelt said, "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." We deserve a president who will build upon the greatness of those who have come before us to lift us up higher, not a president who will tear down anyone and anything in service of his own glory.

I am an American and this administration is attacking our democracy.

I am a N.C. citizen who cares about what happens to our environment and economy. I was devastated to learn of the Trump administration's plan to open the oceans off all coasts of the U.S. to offshore drilling, and the seismic air gun blasts that precede it. I was, of course, deeply concerned for my home state. Seismic air gun blasts can be devastating to marine life...everything from oysters and scallops to turtles and whales. The oil spill risk, by itself, should be enough to frighten anyone. Did we learn nothing from the BP oil spill? Governor Roy Cooper said, "Protection of our beaches, sounds and marine life is vital to ensuring a robust coastal economy." And I agree with Gov. Cooper. We must keep our Ocean waters clean and healthy for a thriving economy and a sound environment. Please join me and say "NO!" to offshore drilling!!!

I am an insurance broker in Virginia, Maryland and DC dismayed by the lack of options available to individuals and families who don't receive health insurance through their employment. Many of the large insurance companies have withdrawn from the marketplace while continuing to sell the more lucrative employer sponsored group plans. They shouldn't be allowed to cherry pick profitable business while failing to serve the general public.

Legalizing weed in Kansas.

The Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition Tennessee (TTPC) invites you to help ensure equal opportunities for all Tennessee children. Every year some legislators insist on attempting to attack transgender residents, both children and adults. They repeatedly rush to spend taxpayer dollars to do so. This year, they intend to force the state to pay the legal costs of any school which chooses to discriminate against the children it's intended to serve or its own employees. This bill was already presented and withdrawn once this legislative session. Now Sen. Hensley and Rep. Holt have chosen to pick it back up. There are better uses of our state resources than putting trans children and school employees at risk to deal with imaginary issues. All children deserve equal opportunities, and our state needs to be inviting to new business.

How Dare a Judge, who is supposed to be impartial, take large sums of money to decide an extremely important issue like fair elections. Yet there does NOT seem to be any real response from so-called civil minded, follow the law Republicans, who are supposed to believe in doing the right thing for this country. Yet as with our president, they seem to follow Putin's game plan: Undermine the voting right of ALL Americans and a fair election. Just like the Republicans in Alabama, North Carolina, and the Big Ripoff in Texas, these Judges and the cronies in our government are UNAMERICAN and are playing into PUTIN'S Hands.

West Virginia is known as "The Mountain State". Who wants to look at a denuded landscape? This will have a negative impact on the tourists coming here to see the natural beauty of the state.

The Florida Legislature is entitled to divert money from affordable housing programs to their own purposes. This is affecting particularly low income families from owning or renting a home. Our Senator, Kathleen Passidomo, is attempting to pass legislation limiting the Florida Legislature from taking Sadowski Trust Funds to unappropriated sources. There are over 34,000 homeless individuals just in Florida and when the budget was lowered, several pedestrians found themselves without housing. In fact, it wasn’t just the budget that was tempered. The prices for rent have also skyrocketed, and it has become exceptionally troublesome to find rent.

To show that we are grateful to the FBI for their sacrifices in keeping our nation safe.

Our state Senate president wants to keep Pennsylvania’s gerrymandered district lines exactly as they are – even if it means breaking the law. Pennsylvania’s political districts are so wildly gerrymandered that the state Supreme Court ordered the legislature to throw out the congressional maps and draw new ones before the next election. But Senate President Joe Scarnati has refused. He’s appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. And now he’s defying a Pennsylvania Supreme Court order asking for data on the state’s current district boundaries so that the court can prepare to redraw district lines if the legislature won’t do it. Senate leaders have rigged the system for long enough. Tell Senator Scarnati that even though he’s the Senate President, he still must follow the law like everyone else. Urge him to stop defending gerrymandered districts.
