“Fix it - as it stands only the very rich (and Congress and federal judges) seem to be able to get decent healthcare, while 99.9999% of us are one illness away from bankruptcy, losing our home, or worse (death), because the rich want to stay/get richer and the rest of continue to become disenfranchis…”

“No wall will stop the drug trade Americans support - work on/fund preventing the demand (universal healthcare, living wage, education, mental health services) and the supply will diminish. This ill-conceived and ridiculous Wall will however prevent many imperiled species from surviving and further …”

“Interns should be paid a living wage or at least some sort of substantial stipend to offset the cost of serving our country. Yes, they are getting an "education" and a resume boost, but by not paying these people who have an interest and a desire we are closing the door on people who are socioecono…”

“Did our politicians check their basic science and universally accepted knowledge on our Planet's hydrosphere and how it interacts to provide our most precious and finite resource (clean water) at the door when you all took office? This is reprehensible. Don't you people have children that you are c…”

“No WALL, No way. $1.3 billion for border security is a great compromise. Playing with the average folks' livelihood (all our government workers and their families) is reprehensible on both Parties' part. Nevertheless, NO WALL, No Way!!! Put the rest of the billions of dollars for the Wall to help …”

“No border-wall funding or funding for additional security during the upcoming budget negotiations. Additional security and a border wall is senseless, ineffective, wasteful, and a childish gesture from a childish man. This won't stop people or drugs from crossing the border, but will inflict grave h…”

“NO BORDER WALL!!! No Wall, no funding for the Wall and no giving in to bullying that only hurts the average working stiff while our President plays golf at his private club on our tax dime(s).

“We need to invest in infrastructure and it needs to be sustainable and green - we only have one planet, she is on the brink of no longer being able to support life as we know it. The most vulnerable populations are the people who need jobs, are less likely to have access to clean air and water. T…”

“This is not a workable plan, amounts to an unnecessary burden on assault victims , and will allow for colleges and universities to further degrade the safety of their campuses by blocking transparency of investigations; all claims AND defenses must be investigated. DeVos' plan makes this more diffic…”

“From what has been released, they were aware of arching power lines and instead of immediately addressing the issue they waited - they were on notice of the possibility of mass loss of life and property and must be held responsible and accountable. Granted the costs will probably be passed on to th…”

“Look at www.goodjobsfirst.org/wagetheft to see the 100 largest settlements reached on behalf of employees whose employers failed to pay them according to the law. Notably, Wal-Mart is on the list multiple times and on the hook for the largest amounts. This is the main reason I do not shop there or …”

“Living in the arid West, water is a huge issue and will only become more of a health issue as climate change and the population grows. Privatization is not the answer; sound science-based, ecosystem-based policy that provides and protects water for all people and creatures based on need not on the a…”
