“Yes but ... put more money into paying salaries of additional troops to ease the work load of those who are repeatedly serving tours in the world's most dangerous places, give raises to our troops already on duty, and spend less on fancy new equipment. And did anyone else notice that 1% of this mone…”

“Sure, it's "bipartisan" because party leadership gets to nominate, but the president is the one who chooses the names from the list, and you can bet which way that list will go. What a nightmare of red tape, and the commission is expensive, to boot. Let Congress set standards that commissions can us…”

“I'm a Catholic and consider myself to be pro-life (from conception to natural death). That said, I'm also a mom who delivered my first daughter at 20 weeks, knowing she would be stillborn. After a full day at the hospital in labor and delivery, it became obvious our Megan wasn't going to come withou…”

“I know at the moment, it's unlikely that any of the bills seeking to end our involvement in the U.N. or to dismantle the Department of Education or the E.P.A. will even get out of committee. However, should the unthinkable happen, I hope I can count on you to oppose all three measures, since any of …”

“I can't believe we actually have to have this discussion. Yes, without releasing financial records -- including, but not limited to, tax returns-- we can't know if the president and others in the three branches of government have conflicts of interest that can cause them to line their pockets at tax…”

Our government also needs to delve further …”

“Genocide is genocide. Shiite Muslims are being targeted and should be included in this group, also. To suggest that we would use anyone's religion as justification for why we *shouldn't* prioritize these endangered Syrians also suggests that, faced with the Holocaust in WWII again, we would deny tha…”

“While we need to protect this rule to give residents in coal country clean drinking water, opposition to this repeal should go hand in hand with efforts to increase job training opportunities in these areas and efforts to bring in new industries. This will affect jobs, and we need to remember the pe…”

“Please ask Judge Gorsuch tough questions about the role of corporations in our electoral process and about the rights of workers. We need to know if he will support Citizens United, and we need to know if he will further erode workers' and unions' influence in the workplace. We are increasingly beco…”

“This is a great tribute to him for his sacrifice, but perhaps more importantly, it can be a tremendous comfort to the family and friends who lost someone they loved due to a war they didn't choose. It's a compassionate act we can do for his survivors at little cost to our country. Considering the gr…”

“This bill addresses an important concern, but needs work in committee to ensure there's adequate oversight to prepare medical facilities with the best equipment and treatments so funds are used in the most cost-effective manner and so stockpiles don't become obsolete or expire before they can be use…”

“I'd love to see this type of conscience protection applied to other types of potential federal funding. For example, as a Catholic who believes in what Pope Francis espoused in Laudato Si, I think we need a federal ban on funding for all the many ways we spend tax dollars to damage the earth and its…”
