“Let's get rid of all lobbyists, at least the way they operate now, beleaguering our representatives day and night, with scads of corporate money. Turn lobbying into a methodical process whereby every person and every company gets to submit its opinion to reps once for each issue, in a single paragr…”

In Response to: Drain the Swamp: Should Political Appointees be Banned From Lobbying After Leaving Gov’t?

“One of the reasons we have the areas with clean water and air that we do, is because of the EPA. I don't want our cities to turn into New Delhi or Shanghai.”

In Response to: Sanctuary Campuses: Should Colleges That Don’t Comply With Immigration Law Be Denied Federal Funding?

“Make all media devices without monitoring, and if consumers want monitoring devices, allow them to purchase them separately, the way we do with home security systems. No one wants monitoring devices buried in their TVs, phones and electronics; that's a violation of our privacy.”

“Banning abortion is a mistake. When abortion is banned, there are MORE abortions (see the Lancet article documenting this). Abortions after 20 wks are undertaken by women whose babies are not viable, or have severe congenital deformities that it's a parent's decision to decide whether to endure. …”

“Plastic has been the bane of the earth. It takes thousands of years for some of it to break down. It's not biodegradable. It kills turtles, seabirds and fish. It asphyxiates children. It litters our land. It toxifies our food. Do NOT give the plastics companies an honor of any sort. Lets get…”

“As long as the President is the President, his/her decisions, regulations, rulings should be honored. It's a disgrace to this country that Merrick Garland's nomination wasn't reviewed by the Senate. If anything, we should make it mandatory that judicial nominees get a fair and rapid hearing; none…”

“If a medical device is just as important as a drug or other intervention, it shouldn't be taxed or treated differently. What people need, in terms of medical care, they need. Tax all treatments, or tax none.”

In Response to: Should the Obamacare Tax on Medical Devices be Repealed?

“Absolutely. The Federal Reserve should be audited just like any other business or institution. There are too many rumors flying around about the Reserve, fueling all kinds of conspiracy theories. Let's just open it up to public view, and do it now.”

“Let's work on reducing pharmaceutical and insurance premium expenditures by reigning in these companies. Employers and employees don't need a hundred different "plans" to choose from--it's far to complicated. Give us all decent healthcare coverage at a decent price: everyone wants the same thing! …”

In Response to: Should the Obamacare “Cadillac tax” on High Cost Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance Plans be Repealed?

“Keep Obamacare and make adjustments to it to a) limit the gargantuan profits insurance carriers are making; b) limit the gargantuan profits pharmaceutical companies are making. There have to be reasonable caps on costs or these megacorporations will continue to raise prices. Witness the Epi-pen fi…”

In Response to: Would Letting Certified Congressional Employees Access VA Health Records Help Vets Get Their Benefits Faster?

“This is absurd. A precedent is a precedent. Ruling judges may use their discretion to decide whether a precedent is relevant, but prohibiting any reference to precedents is a form of information control, i.e., propaganda.”

In Response to: Should Congress Block the Supreme Court From Citing Obamacare Cases As Precedent?

“The Affordable Care Act is a start. Where's the alternative program? We can't go back to the old healthcare system, where so many people were uninsured that ERs and public hospitals were overrun with non-paying, desperate, extremely sick people. We need a single-payer system so people can get hea…”

In Response to: Should UN Funding be Cut Off Until the Feds Tell Taxpayers How Much They’re Contributing?

“Absolutely, yes, we should stand for women's rights everywhere. What a ridiculous question. Where there are unequal rights, including access to education and opportunity, Americans stand for equality. Let's keep it that way.”

“No, Congress takes too long to make decisions already.

In Response to: Does Congress Need More Time to Review a Country’s Removal From the List of State Sponsors of Terrorism?

“Yes, trade deals with everyone and anyone are good for America, and extending good will to countries who are not committing human rights abuses is to be applauded. It's not a statement about Brexit, and to prove it, we should also strengthen our trade deals with the EU.”
