“There is no reason that other countries should be subjected to bills passed by our congress. They are their own international entities and aren't required to obey our laws. I also don't think we who called on NATO after 9/11 can complain that these other countries aren't pulling their weight. When w…”
“A social security number is not an accurate means of identifying a person, and should not be used except when it is necessary. Including SSNs on documents when it doesn't need to be there only succeeds in making information easier to steal without being any true help in identifying the person it bel…”
“An employee who comes to work sick won't work at anywhere near their peak performance, and they will infect their coworkers who will then also not be working at their peak performance. Ultimately it's cheaper to pay your full staff to have most of them present, healthy, and fully productive than it…”
“Though as the mother of a little girl that this directly affects this pains me to say, if men must register for the draft then women must as well. We want equality, and we must be willing to engage in the sacrifices that come with it. If we as women are not willing to be equal in this, it is hard to…”
“Our Declaration of Independence recognizes that every human being has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In fact, it calls those rights unalienable. By not providing universal healthcare coverage we leave the poor and sickly among us without even the right to sustain their liv…”
“I think it's safe to say the the current committee in charge of looking into Russian influence into the 2016 election is heavily biased or even bought. There is no guarantee that such a partisan endeavor will even investigate this matter to its fullest extent, and no surety that the information disc…”
“Every right-thinking person should condemn the propagation of lies, but we need to ask ourselves who is the arbiter of truth? With one party having the majority in the house, do they get to decide what are facts so that we only hear one perspective, or do both parties sling accusations of alternativ…”
“Of course the Johnson amendment shouldn't be repealed, separation of church and state is too valuable to be put at risk. What will happens if this is repealed is it will open the door for religions to have undue influence in lawmaking, and no religion should govern the behavior of an entire society.…”
“Abortion is legal in this country, and federal funds shouldn't be withheld from a health care provider just because they offer abortion services. None of the money that goes to these providers can be used for abortions anyway, so the other important and needed programs that they offer shouldn't suff…”
“Vote against repealing and replacing the ACA. The AHCA is a travesty in the making, and would result in so many losing their health care coverage. We are constitutionally guaranteed the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and I think it could fairly be argued that passing laws tha…”
“My first reaction is that the employee should be able to choose how they take their pay for overtime worked, but then the caveat that companies could deny the comp time because it isn't convenient to them makes it unworkable. All that will happen is that companies will have a wider ability to take a…”
“Vote nay to funding the wall from seized cartel money. In fact, vote nay every time this issue of should-we-fund-the-wall comes up. There are better uses for that money. If the goal is truly to use the money to decrease the amount of drugs sold in our country, the only real way to accomplish that …”
