The future of the United States is at risk with a mentally unstable lunatic in the WH.

Imagine waking up one morning and being told that the only home you've ever known is not yours to have. Imagine rebuilding a life where you don't know the culture or in some cases, the language. These Dreamers are working hard and are constructive citizens in our country--why would we push them away for that? They deserve a path to legalization that helps them remain assets to our society!

Concealed carry without any training or licensing is dangerous and unnecessary and that is the case in Idaho including on college campuses. Pretty soon there will be more regulations on trained law enforcement than anyone who wants to purchase a gun to conceal and carry. And there is not a place in America for assault style rifles. They are designed for one thing: to kill humans. I don't feel safe at all with the natural progression of the unlicensed, untrained conceal and carry trend and the prolifiration of assault rifles.

What happened to the kids and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School near where I live in Florida is a tragedy, but once again Senator Rubio stood with the NRA instead of protecting his own constituents or the American people. Rubio still wants civilians to have assault weapons. And he said on Twitter that it's a "terrible day you pray never comes" about the attack while going on CNN a week later and refusing to distance himself from the NRA. Thoughts and prayers are not enough–especially when he's cozy with the NRA's extreme agenda! If you ask me this is bribe money. How else can you explain such a lack of action to stop gun violence when our children and community members are being slaughtered? Rubio and his fellow Republicans have taken tens of millions from the NRA and the gun lobby! No wonder Rubio keeps siding with gun manufacturers over the safety of our kids. We have to stop all politicians from taking money from the NRA and gun lobby! We need them to work for "the People" not for big business! Sen. Rubio is a national Republican figure, and we must hold him accountable for what he and his party are doing to our communities.

Evil persists when Good Men do nothing.

We are in a period of sustained egregious behavior from our country's top leader who is carrying out policies that are an assault on our humanity's future. Never is the time to support silencing varying viewpoints in our country, and particularly in the case of an intelligent African American female reporter.

Birth control is a major women's rights issue, it gives women autonomy over their own health and life. Access to birth control helps women not only in the arena of pregnancy, but also serves an important role in women's health. Let us not go backwards in history to a time where women had little to no control over their own bodies.

The purpose of the Second Amendment has been completely distorted by well financed special interests leaving all Americans vulnerable to deadly use of military grade semi-automatic assault weapons. Representative Lee Zeldin received $33,732 from the National Rifle Association and members of its staff. He must show the courage to put the lives and well-being of constituents above money, or we should remove him from office on November 6, 2018.

Donald trump is trying to kill the Iran nuclear deal and put our country back on a dangerous path towards war with Iran. This week, reports indicate that the President will officially decertify the Iran deal to Congress. International experts and the President’s own senior advisors have publicly made clear the deal is working exactly as intended. Unfortunately, Donald Trump’s petty, political desire to undo everything accomplished during the Obama Administration means that he’s going to ignore the truth and decertify the deal anyway. With the President having made his intentions clear, it is up to Congress to make the next move. Congress has to choose whether it will side with the American public, national security experts, and our closest allies or whether they’ll side with Donald Trump and a series of warmongers who have hated this deal since day one, precisely because it avoids the regime change war they’ve always wanted. The Iran deal is working, and we need Congress to protect it against Trump’s efforts to kill it and put us back on the path to war. In the weeks ahead Congress is likely going to be weighing legislation that could either immediately kill the deal by reimposing sanctions or undermine the deal but still walk away from this historic diplomatic accomplishment. Instead of following Trump’s lead, Congress should take steps to isolate the Iran deal from Trump’s political meddling and build upon its foundation to solve our nation’s problems through diplomacy, not war. Let’s make Congress hear our voices and demand they do the right thing, defend diplomacy, and avoid a war with Iran.

I'm tired of our collective lack of action on gun control. The N.R.A. should not have a strangle hold on public policy when it comes to gun control. I want my congressional representative to put the interests of my congressional district before the interests of the N.R.A. We need sensible gun control legislation. We need it now!

I am disgusted by the hold the NRA has over members of Congress and elsewhere. Rational gun legislation is needed now more than ever.
