“The death penalty should be done away with in the first place. It's cruel and unusual punishment, and therefore unconstitutional. That being said, if this passes, this could cause the deaths of so many innocent people, especially when it comes to police. There are already next to no checks on our po…”

“I make 11.65 an hour, and it is nowhere near enough to live on. What makes you think 13 is enough? We have calculated what a living wage is now after inflation, and it's 15 dollars. And the minimum wage is meant to be a living wage, the MINIMUM amount of money a person needs to live with everything …”

“We really don't need to spend that much on our military. We spend more than enough as it is. We spend more on our military than any other country, save North Korea, and way more than any of our allies. That money could literally be used for anything else, like education, research grants, helping tho…”

“You really want us to trust a man whose catchphrase is "you're fired" and becomes infuriated at the SLIGHTEST hint of a joke about him to be in charge of a weapon that will destroy millions of lives with a press of a button? The child can barely control himself when it comes to Twitter. ”

“But climate change MUST be included. NASA has contributed much already to the study and the effects of climate change and not allocating funds to continue that research will cripple us even more when it comes to saving our planet. Exploring Mars is important, yes, but preserving our already delicate…”

“The only reason abortions happen after 20 wks is because the mother is under serious threat of death, the child is going to die not long after being born-and the few minutes it's alive will be agony, or the child is already dead and there is no point carrying it to term. People don't decide last min…”

“The treasury doesn't control debt. Its like telling your piggy bank to tell you to stop when you spend to much money. It doesn't work. If we want to lower the national debt, we need to reduce military spending and raise taxes, especially on corporations and upper class. Eisenhower placed a 90% tax r…”

“You are never going to stop abortions. Never. All you are going to do is stop SAFE abortions. If someone doesn't want to be pregnant, they will find a way to not be pregnant. If that means a back alley with a rusty coat hanger that they know they may not walk away from, but it's they're only option,…”

“Please vote against Jeff Sessions as Attorney General. He has been turned down before as a judge for being too racist and is known for being sexist and against sexual abuse survivors. This is not a man we want determining right and wrong for our country. We need someone who will stand up and say "No…”

“We currently have people who think the Bible is fact and law of the land, that creationism is truth and all else is wrong. That's horrifying. If we block this, we won't be able to have control over what is taught and what isn't, leaving states like Texas free to fill their curriculum with religious …”

“Trumps ban was unconstitutional and is eerily reminiscent of America during WWII, when we turned back boats of Jews because we "didn't want to get involved" so we ended up sending people to their deaths. Our current "America First" policy is literally straight from the 1930s-1940s before we joined W…”

“Gun control needs to be better, but this isn't the way to do it. "Mental defects" is too broad and you know conservatives are going to use it to their advantage, labeling anything-or anyone-they don't agree with as "defective" and therefore can't get a gun. Plus, it makes it sound like those with me…”

“The government needs to talk with the Native tribes that are from the area to ensure that the mountain doesn't already have a name and significance with them. Of the tribes already have their own name for it then we need to find another mountain to name after him. Or, better yet, just make a statue …”

“Please fight against this immigration ban. Our country is built on the backs of immigrants, including the first white settlers from Europe. Countries grow by sharing ideas amongst themselves, including letting people into their borders, not by keeping certain people out because they're "undesirable.…”
