Is Trump trying to bring on end times? Why is the CDC preparing us for nuclear war? Why is Putin preparing for WWIII? It’s time someone stepped in to stop this madness. We will not go quietly into “end times”. NO NUCLEAR WAR.

Our votes and opinions have fallen on deaf ears long enough. It’s time for the people to take back the country and Elect our Presidents with A Popular Vote by The People.

The current program in place put 94 percent of the OCS (Outer Continental Shelf) off limits for drilling. That changed January 4, 2018. U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke decided to open up over 90 percent of the OCS acreage and over 98 percent of undiscovered oil and gas resources. Secretary Zinke is quoted as saying “Responsibly developing our energy resources on the Outer Continental Shelf in a safe and well-regulated way is important to our economy and energy security, and it provides billions of dollars to fund the conservation of our coastlines, public lands and parks”. Yet this statement denies the ugly truth of offshore drilling. And that truth is this: It causes pollution, more human health issues (particularly respiratory), oil spills (of which only 10 percent has been recovered) devastates ocean life (and thus us as well) and causes more extreme weather events according to the NRDC (National Resources Defense Council). The NRDC also states that offshore drilling contradicts climate science, threatens coastal communities and directly goes against the clean energy solutions the American public favors. Instead of being concerned that “the U.S. remains a global leader in offshore energy development” as Katharine MacGregor, Principle Deputy Assistant Secretary of Land and Minerals Management states there needs to be actual concern for the health of the American people and the earth we all share. We are sadly taking so many steps backward environmentally with the Trump administration this past year that it’s dizzying. How much more do you think our environment can take? Has the recent uptick in extreme weather taught the current administration nothing? How many more lives and homes need to be destroyed before they get the point that climate scientists might just be telling the truth? Don’t be fooled. There is no such thing as environmentally sound or safe offshore drilling. The Draft Proposed Program (DPP) includes 47 potential lease sales in 25 of the 26 planning areas-including 19 in Alaska, 12 in the Gulf of Mexico, 9 in the Atlantic Region and 7 in the Pacific Region including right here in the Washigton/Oregon Area. There have been no offshore sales in our region since 1984. Help me fight to keep it that way. Let’s work together to send a strong message to this administration that we will not tolerate making our already near dire situation worse. We are ready to make positive environmental changes in solidarity not just for ourselves but for our children and future generations. Let’s be the tide of change we wish to see in this nation.

Vermont is a forward thinking state and recognizes the value that migrant workers, refugees and immigrants bring to our state's economy. VT is one of 12 states that test and issue drivers licenses regardless of your immigration status. It's important that they feel safe sharing their personal information with the DMV and are not painting a target in their backs for ICE to find and deport them. To this end I am asking the Vermont legislature to write a law protecting that data from federal meddling.

There is no reason to be putting our environment in this kind of danger for a few drops of an obsolete, dirty fuel. Green Energy has already proven a far safer, more environmentally stable, and in the long run more efficient energy source. No one wants those big metal eyesores off our shores.

The Right to Work legislation gives employers the right to fire workers for no reason, destroying the middle class. Workers who have never had negative work issues are fired and most are over 40 years of age, and find it difficult or impossible to find employment making comparable pay. After 23 years working for theCity Of Detroit, myself and hundreds were fired without cause. Although we were labeled Civil Servants ,we were fired without the rights of Civil Servants.

Opening up the entire Oregon Coast for fracking and drilling would not only create havoc on the fishing industry, but it would be catastrophic to the environment. But the Republicans aren't too worried about anything they can't line their pockets with. I wouldn't doubt there will be a tremendous amounts of kickbacks from the oil companies, to probably every Republican. We must stand against any drilling off any coast and inland waters, of the United States

The New Jersey coastline brings in huge amounts of revenue to the state and keeps many small businesses operating through tourism. The state of Florida (governed by Republican Rick Scott) will not have drilling off of it's coastline due to the relationship between President Trump and Rick Scott and the location of Trump's resort, Mar-A-Lago ("not in my backyard" attitude). New Jersey deserves to have the same privilege - NO DRILLING IN NEW JERSEY!

Undocumented Utahan immigrants who obtain driver's licenses are helping to keep our roads safe. They have trusted their info to the DMV and we shouldn't betray that trust by letting ICE use it against them.

I respect the human rights of the marginalized and disrespected. I haven't been personally affected, but I sympathize and respect those who haven been.

I am a Maryland resident who believes our driver’s license information should remain confidential. Even if undocumented immigrants are here illegally, their ability to drive with licenses and insurance keeps us all safe. There are better ways to address the problem of illegal immigration than making our roads more dangerous and turning our MVA staff into federal government informers.

Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson testified for 10 hours in a closed-door hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee in August 2017. Since then, the committee has refused to investigate any of the alleged financial conflicts of interest of the Trump family, but instead has been investigating the witness. We deserve to know, once and for all, if our President has financial entanglements that compromise his ability to act in the best interests of the American people.
