Would like my congressman Mac Thornberry to quit taking money from NRA lobbyists. We need to fight for commonsense gun control.

My wife and I are retired with large medical bills. The medical tax deduction is vital to our financial security.

Gun deaths have not directly impacted my life, other than that I'm an American watching other Americans die, and I'm tired of it. There's a lot wrong with our country, but like with other issues of our time, I feel Washington can lead the way,and influence other states to do the same.

Kelly and other Republicans continually take donations from the NRA and then refuse to address the issue of common sense gun laws. This open bribery must stop.

Roy Moore--the extremist Alabama Republican candidate for U.S. Senate--sexually assaulted a 14 year old girl while in his 30s, according to a Washington Post investigation. A fifth woman just came forward saying Moore attacked her when she was a teenager. Beverly Young Nelson showed reporters her old high school yearbook an adult Roy Moore appears to have signed in 1977. A message signed from "Roy Moore, DA" is signed with "love" and refers to Nelson as "beautiful." This predator has no place in the U.S. Senate and the momentum to stop him is on our side. Already, multiple senators, including Mitch McConnell, have said Moore should step down. If we speak out right away, we can pressure a dangerous child predator to drop out of a high-profile Senate race.

Landscape architects, CNAs, child care providers, physical therapists, cosmetologists, and sign language interpreters are among some of the professions threatened by recent licensing legislation driven by Americans for Prosperity and WILL. Wisconsin consumers rely upon high-quality products and services provided by trained professionals, and Wisconsin workers rely upon the high level of safety standards that are produced from this training. Now is the time to stand up to corporate interests and demand the highest level of professionalism and protection for Wisconsin residents.

I believe the NRA desires to control how the Senate and the House vote. This is wrong!

As a middle class tax payer, I'm outraged that we continue to pay higher taxes, lose deductions, be forced to pay for our own healthcare, while corporations and the super rich continue to get a free ride.

Donald Trump’s new “tax reform” plan would be a massive windfall for special interests and the super-wealthy like himself and his family. But because Trump won’t release his tax returns, we have no way of knowing how much it would benefit him, his children, or his companies. Congress should refuse to vote on Trump’s tax plan until the American people find out exactly how much he stands to gain. Trump broke with decades of bipartisan precedent by refusing to release his tax returns during his presidential run (and refusing to place his assets in a blind trust after winning). And there are already plenty examples of him and his family personally profiting from the presidency. But Trump’s new tax plan could take that self-dealing into overdrive -- while Americans are forced to judge it without any idea how much passing it would benefit Trump himself. This is exactly why presidents of both parties have shared their tax returns with the public -- so that voters can hold them accountable and evaluate conflicts of interest. But instead, Trump wants to rewrite our nation’s tax laws while keeping his own business dealings secret. Just one example -- Trump himself has admitted a personal motivation in pushing to end the estate tax, telling senators on a phone call that his accountant told him he’d "get killed" if it weren’t repealed. There are countless opportunities for Trump to avoid paying millions in taxes -- and we can’t know for sure what they are without seeing his tax returns. Everyone has a right to know, and we all deserve basic transparency from the President of the United States. So before Congress holds a vote on Trump’s tax plan, it ought to demand the President give the public a clear picture of his background, experience, and business interests. Please add your name to tell Congress: Don’t vote on Trump’s tax plan without seeing his taxes -- and how much he’ll benefit -- first!

Because SHAREBANDIT!

I have lost Friends and Family to senseless gun violence.

Save Florida's tree canopies by allowing cities and municipalities to maintain their individualized and independently-designed tree codes and ordinances as already written. Do not force SB574 and HB521 on communities who have a vested interest in maintaining their tree canopies and inventory of trees.
