“I feel strongly that term limits are necessary for the office of the President, and for all elected officials. There is stagnation, and even apathy that sets in after a long stint. We need to keep our government vital and relevant. We also need to avoid any risk of placing a Dictator for Life at the…”

“Imposing tariffs will affect the American consumers . The vast majority of produce Americans eat comes from Mexico. Making fruit and vegetables more expensive is not helpful to people in our country who have limited or fixed incomes. The Tariffs will do more harm to us than to Mexico. Educating the …”

“Please think long and hard about placing Brett Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court judge. While he claims to be impartial and bipartisan, his record speaks otherwise. And is is decidedly questionable ethics to have a president who is under investigation choose who will hear his case. This decision will s…”

“The zero tolerance policy that results in infants and children being separated from their parents,is unconscionable. Republicans, your president has stated that that policy could be easily removed. And yet, it still stands. Many of you tout your commitment to family values and insist that you…”

“I think we should recognize the importance of Juneteenth and make it an official federal holiday. It marks a pivotal occurrence in our history, and reminds us off the importance of freedom for all. While I don’t discount the significance , and mean no disrespect to the 4th of July as a celebration o…”

“Please vote no on this bill, permitting a military parade in November. It is a massive waste of funds that could more usefully go to helping house and feed our veterans, or providing them with better healthcare and treatment options. A parade is not what veterans need, We have Memorial Day and Veter…”

“Passing a bill for making teachers strikes punishable by jail time is completely against their rights to express free speech. Educators are critical to our community, and to our country ‘s future. The teachers are there in the classroom, many of the strikes are not just for themselves, but for the s…”

“Please do not let the process for confirming the nominations for judicial candidates get rushed through. The unseemly haste being requested is alarming. These are lifetime posts and those judges need to be carefully examined. The current GOP desire to get things done more quickly is highly suspicio…”

“There are numerous questions that Congress needs to ask Scott Pruitt, such as: Do you own stock or are you a shareholder in any companies that stand to benefit from rolling back previously established EPA protections? How many times in the past, before you were put in charge of the EPA, did you, or…”

“Ohio has violated Planned Parenthood’ s rights, and Ohio is not the only state seeking to do so. Look at what has resulted in Texas and Indiana, to name a few. Restricting access to std testing and contraception, and testing for cervical cancer has been disastrous. Providing heath services and contr…”

“I think our current leader shows signs of mental instability, it would be reassuring to know that there was a way to detect problems of that sort and remove someone mentally unfit from office. I find it alarming that the person who can decide on the appropriate action is the Vice President, who woul…”

“The continued inaction on the sexual harassment bill implies an apathy and lack of concern that are totally unacceptable. This harassment is not a recent problem, it has been an ongoing issue that is being brought to light. Your female colleagues of both parties have spoken. They need your support a…”

“The idea behind this bill is a laudable desire to prevent sexual exploitation, particularly of children and powerless people. If the only issue is that is not specific enough, pass it and then amend it in the future. It will still afford protection to a great many who are having their lives and thei…”

“Since many military and government employees are now on furlough, and will be unpaid, it seems only fair that the government, who have chosen to stop working, should also go unpaid. Most of our representatives are considerably better paid, so this should cause them less hardship than that suffered b…”

“As a Resident of Manitou Springs, I am concerned that rates will gradually be raised to higher and higher levels, as small towns and small businesses are not given as many options. There are a lot of remote areas in Colorado this could have quite a negative impact on. The implications that censorshi…”

“Please vote against this tax bill. It is disadvantageous to so many! It will not serve the middle class, but only the wealthiest. And making contributions to charity not tax deductible for nearly all income levels will cripple many organizations that do considerable good . This is an assault on the…”

“Please vote against this tax plan! It will only help the wealthiest, who tend not to contribute as much to our national finances. It will not aid the middle classes, which are the backbone of our economy , and whose financial stability is critical to our society and our nation’s economic security. …”
