“Regardless of your thoughts on the value of having free trade agreements, they are a necessary and unavoidable reality. What isn't unavoidable, however, is how we choose to participate and how we structure our own roles. Doing so in a manner which limits our own consumer protections (such as with TP…”

“Service dogs are incredibly expensive to obtain privately. I had one that I self trained and haven't been able to find a way to get another since he passed two years ago. As a Vet with service connected epilepsy, having a service dog is vital (seizure recovery drops from as long as 3 hours to under …”

“Let's put this into perspective: we fly our politicians first class or charter jet around the globe. We send their children to very exclusive, very EXPENSIVE, private schools. Their children get free college- paid for by us. They get the best healthcare coverage in this country- no copays, no deduct…”

“On the face of it, I agree with what seems to be the intent. Read a bit of the actual bill using some basic deductive reasoning and you'll quickly realize that this is typical partisan, election cycle "don't tread on me" crap. The reason FEMA takes these actions is to mitigate having to come back an…”

“Read the fine print: this is intended to shift the cost of transport and delivering supplies and relief to a disaster area from the FEMA to the recipients; the bill defines "administrative costs" as any cost associated with the transportation and delivery of supplies to a disaster area, EXCEPT those…”

“Can you say hidden backdoor Big Pharma payoff? How about the idea of releasing snakes into an area they don't already exist in an ecosystem so they can catch the rats that you accidentally introduced previously and are now killing it all off? That's what is happening here- GMO mosquitoes were releas…”

“This is a bullshit bill proposed by people in Congress whom either have no clue how our benefits work or is using us as a manipulation tool (now or future) for election/political purposes- they can burn in hell for abusing us either way. I am not usually so confrontational in my responses, but This …”

“This should be a no brainer and prevents special interests and partisan efforts to suppress voter turnout through limiting registration. Make it automatic and places in the South where all registration centers have been closed and all areas with demographics not traditionally Republican become non-i…”

“Really? We're still having this particular conversation? Where do we stop that? Do we back it up further? After all, If you consider a fertilized egg- a cellular mass of unformed matter- "life", then why not the egg and sperm that leads to that "life"? Makes just as much sense. Every woman becomes a…”

“States don't get to pick and choose where federal tax monies are distributed and where they are not. That money is designated at the Congressional level for federal programs. Don't like it? Then stop accepting all federal funding and programs and become self reliant, able to balance your own budget …”

“If I have chosen to be on lists preventing these calls it is because I do not wish to receive them...from anyone. The current loophole for non-profits and charities should not apply (especially with the ability of corporations to donate millions to them under Citizens [Aren't] United- they are no lo…”

“Any argument from citizens that this is invalid because the Supreme Court voted to declare Citizens United constitutional is either a moron ("You can't fix stupid" ~Ron White) whom does not understand the nature of a Constitutional Amendment, or a corporate troll (perhaps both). Any argument that th…”

“I only vote nay because I cannot find any link to the bill, nor can I find the bill online to verify just how much money is going where. If there is not equal distribution of funds to the renewables as there is to the fossil fuels then this bill is just being used to continue subsidizing the coal an…”

“Of course the vote is yea, but it is unfortunate that we need to in the first place. The real solution is to pass a Constitutional Amendment that makes the Citizens United ruling unConstitutional. This is like using bailing wire to hold up the axle on your car because it is no longer attached to the…”

“MESSAGE TO CONGRESS: get over yourselves. You are attempting to manipulate us for election cycle votes- this has nothing to do with whether Pres Obama exceeded authority or not. He didn't but you are (and have been, with the help of Faux News) counting on We, the People not to know better and to jus…”

“***FILLED OUT THE SUGGESTION FOR SOMETHING MISSING WITH THE "OPINION IN FAVOR" COMPLETED AND IT DID NOT POPULATE IN THE FORUM*** This is, in essence, a "sin" tax, much like what has been imposed on alcohol and tobacco by federal and state gov'ts for years. It simply recognizes the large body of scie…”

“The Water of the US rule is an enforcement action only on waters that affect public drinking water and other water sources that affect public health (operative term "public").

“BEFORE YOU VOTE: be careful folks- another GOP wolf in sheep's clothing bill. This isn't designed to involve the public, the sponsor knows the general public isn't going to participate in anything.

“Kathleen Madigan said "If I were a politician, I'd name every bill the 'Be Nice to Retarded People Bill' so, at election time, I could say 'I didn't want to bring this up, but my opponent voted against being nice to retarded people' ". The GOP as a whole are masters of doing this, and this is anothe…”
