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…”

“Until the language of this bill is improved to protect teenagers who engage in consensual sexting with other minors, the vote needs to be nay. To be young and dumb is not a reason for a mandatory 15 year sentence. ”

“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.

In Response to: Paid Sick Leave: Should Federal, State, and Private Sector Employers Have To Offer 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.

“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.

“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“Of course the Johnson amendment shouldn't be repealed, separation of church and state is too valuable to be put at risk. What will happens if this is repealed is it will open the door for religions to have undue influence in lawmaking, and no religion should govern the behavior of an entire society.…”

In Response to: Should the Johnson Amendment be Repealed to Let Churches and Tax-Exempt Groups Engage in Politics?

“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…”

“Those who make the laws the rest of us have to live by shouldn't be above those same laws, let their decisions affect them, too. Here's a better idea, don't repeal the ACA, then everyone gets to keep their health care rights. ”
