“I’m sure this is another attempt to control women’s healthcare by Republicans who won’t fund CHIP, won’t consider universal healthcare, and who are trying to cut funding for safety net programs like Medicaid. Late term abortions are usually the result of a family faced with a devastating decision ca…”

“The GOP are taking away benefits and cutting government regulations in the name of “giving power back to the states”. Now, with this bill, they’re taking power from the states. States should be able to make their own laws regarding concealed carry and whether or not they will grant reciprocity. If t…”

“Everyone from interns to the President should have this training, not because they shouldn’t already know better, but because it sets the tone for expected behavior. If anyone violates the rules, they need to be held accountable and the public needs to be informed. We pay their salaries and are thei…”

“While my initial reaction was that they should lose this deduction because they are trying to take away deductions from the rest of us, like those for medical expenses and even the $250 supplies deduction from teachers, I’d be in favor of them keeping this deduction. However, they should not be allo…”

“It is ridiculous that we even need to have a bill to prevent this, but government corruption seems so widespread now that I'm glad the bill is being introduced. Of course Congress should not get special deals. Honestly, they should all be required to have true blind trusts to help further prevent th…”

“Being faced with the unimaginable choice of carrying a fetus whose health conditions are incompatible with life or choosing to end the pregnancy is terrible. Having Congress force a woman to continue the pregnancy is horrific. The GOP is constantly citing government overreach for all of the regulati…”

“Sanctuary cities are not more dangerous, but this action could make them worse because undocumented people will be afraid to report crimes and afraid to go to court. Additionally, this seems like a plan intended to make money for private prisons because I'm sure these people will be detained for a w…”

“Please do not vote for any bill unless you can look your constituents in the eyes and tell them without hesitation that it will cover more people, provide better coverage, and will be truly affordable. No experts on healthcare coverage, insurance, the medical communities, or even the CBO have stated…”

“Please do not vote for any healthcare bill that has not had public hearings, not been scored by the CBO, and that you have not read in sufficient detail to explain to your constituents and the governor exactly how it will impact them and the state before your vote. Any vote under other circumstances…”

“Please vote against the BCRA. Do not repeal the ACA with or without replacement. Do not be misled. The BCRA will take healthcare away from millions. Healthcare organizations oppose it, AARP opposes it, religious organizations have come out against it. It could lead to some families having to choose…”

“Please vote to continue net neutrality. The internet is vital to almost everyone now and everyone should have equal access, it is good for business and the economy for small companies and startups to be able to have a level playing field with larger companies for internet sales and traffic. It is a…”

“My reps are all in the GOP, but I would like them to support this bill and hope they can put country over party to do so. Our country is being torn apart at the seams, by the president and his cabinet, which seems to be their plan, but also by our GOP leaders who are enabling him to do so. The presi…”

“Our country is based on the belief that all men are created equally. Police officers and judges are not worth more than anyone else. If someone kills one of them, they should face the same consequences as someone who kills anyone else in the same manner (premeditated, not premeditated, accidental, …”

“I was very happy last night to find that two more senators decided that they could not support the Senate healthcare bill that would take healthcare away from millions. I am not sure if you GOP Congress people fully understand the fear you are causing for so many of your constituents. Maslow' hierar…”

“While I am not fundamentally opposed to foreign entities doing business in the U.S., we know all too well that propaganda is having a huge impact on our trust in each other as U.S. citizens. We should definitely have an understanding of what foreign companies are doing here. If they are legitimate, …”

“Yes, please vote for this election reform. Gerrymandering has effectively taken away some people's voice in elections. Additionally restrictive voter ID laws should be illegal and registration should be easy, if not automatic. Also, all elections should have paper ballots so that results can be veri…”
