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.

I believe that an investigation into the identity theft of over 2 million Americans involved in the comment board of the FCC on net neutrality should be looked into. It is worth looking into whether these cases of identity theft were caused by radical random individuals or by people in power or corporations. I believe that people that steal people's identities should be held accountable.

Marijuana helps so many people... it helps me with anxiety and depression. Please sign to make legal in IL.

I've lived my life here 15 years and Dennis Township and Eldora haven't had nearly as many drug-related issues going on as other cities in Cape May County. Why would it be a good idea to bring a methadone clinic into our peaceful, quiet neighborhood full of children? Bringing this methadone clinic into our neighborhood will only cause issues. There's an illegal New Jersey Transit stop at the location where this new clinic wants to open doors. This is a recipe for disaster.

Wikipedia indicates plainclothes New York police officer Frank Serpico reported evidence of systemic police corruption in 1967. He contributed to a New York Times front-page story on corruption in the NYPD, which drew national attention to the problem in 1970. Mayor John Lindsay appointed an investigative panel that became the Knapp Commission. Serpico was shot in the face in 1971 under questionable circumstances while attempting a drug arrest. His backup was nowhere to be seen and his colleagues refused to make a "10-13" dispatch to police headquarters declaring an officer had been shot. An elderly man who lived in the next apartment called emergency services to report a man had been shot. Other officers arrived and transported Serpico to the hospital. He survived and retired in 1972. He continues to speak out about police brutality, civil liberties, and police corruption. He prefers the term "lamp lighter" to "whistle blower" as one who alerts the public to danger. News reports state Baltimore, Md. police Det. Sean Suiter was killed on November 15, 2017, the day before he was scheduled to appear before a federal grand jury pursuant to his knowledge of facts regarding a 2010 crime and 2017 indictment as part of a police corruption investigation of which he was never a target. Reportedly, on the evening he was killed Suiter approached a "suspicious" man during an unrelated investigation. Shots were fired and Suiter's partner was later seen on a surveillance video taking cover across the street. Police Commissioner Kevin Davis indicates there is no information connecting Suiter's murder to the corruption case but requested the FBI to take over the investigation. That request has been refused. Suiter, survived by a wife and 5 children, was shot with his own gun. Although his clothes were said to show evidence of a struggle, there is a possibility that survivor benefits may be curtailed or denied if Suiter's death is ruled a suicide since he was shot with his own gun. The homicide remains under investigation. As a retired police officer, I know most cops are honest, dedicated, and hardworking. But as with every profession, there are some "bad apples". People often ask, "Why don't the good cops turn in the bad cops?" Sometimes the "good" ones are silenced by peer pressure or threats. All the circumstances surrounding the shooting of Det. Suiter may never be known, but sometimes the "good" cops are silenced by violence. Police officers courageous enough to be "lamp lighters" need to have protective measures available to them. This could take the form of an assignment change, a leave of absence, or other measures depending on the circumstances. Further, matters of assignment, discipline, and promotion should be monitored to lessen the specter of reprisal. This should be mandated by law and strictly enforced. The net effect should discourage malfeasance among the ranks and bolster much needed public trust in the police
