“Paid lobbying is a detriment to democracy. Have hearings, listen to constituents, but please don’t let corporate interest (and donations) dictate policy decisions. These “2nd careers” for career politicians do little to increase the prosperity or freedoms our citizens. Vote no and “drain the swamp”.…”
“Kentucky does not currently impose criminal liability on parents or individuals who negligently store their firearms and permit another to gain access for criminal purposes. As a law-abiding gun owner, and member of law enforcement, I find it absurd that so many people frivolously store their weapon…”
“Where is the transparency and “drain the swamp” mentality that President Trump campaigned on? Withholding water quality reports for PR reasons is a joke. Things like this encourage the average American to switch political affiliations and promote greater distrust in government. As a local government…”
“The soon-to-be implemented tariffs proposed by the Trump Administration will undoubtedly cause financial hardship to the middle class, and Kentuckians especially. The Canadian tariff on whiskey will have adverse affects on all central KY distillers - at a time when the world has taken note of Kentuc…”
“As a 10+ year veteran of Law Enforcement, I was disgusted at President Trump's pardon of Joe Arpaio. This man was accused of violating the mandate of a sitting judge, who instructed him to curb behavior that selectively targeted members of his community on the basis of their appearance (Latino/Hispa…”
“Today, our commander in chief made one of the most unfathomable statements I have ever observed. I sat transfixed watching my television, considering how egregiously stupid it was for a man who is attempting to lead this country retract his previous statements about the discord and anti-American act…”
“In regards to the recent vehicular homicide and assault that occurred in Charlottesville, VA -- Terrorism is defined by the U.S. government in Title 22 Chapter 38 U.S. Code § 2656f as "premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clan…”
“Please continue the efforts of the American people to be afforded consumer protection via collective litigation. The average consumer has neither the disposable income nor the available time needed to file on their own behalf, to seek a redress of their grievances with a multi-national corporation o…”
“When can we, the citizens, rely upon Congress to openly debate and compromise on the complex issues facing our country? So-called omnibus and minibus appropriation measures detract from judging a single issue (or related cluster of issues) on their merit alone. As such, pieces of legislation that ru…”
“Net Neutrality is not negotiable. It’s essential to everything we need in our society and democracy — from educational and economic opportunities to political organizing and even dissent. Millions of people fought for over a decade to secure lasting Net Neutrality protections. Chairman Pai (a former…”
“In short: don't build the wall; just set $2.6 billion dollars on fire. The outcome would be the same. Repair the broken immigration system in this country - i.e. Faster request processing, thorough background checks, expand resident alien status and work Visas, encourage taxation programs for workin…”
“The recent request for state voter data (specifically: voting history, party affiliation, and partial social security number) on the part of the Trump administration can only seemingly have a nefarious purpose. During this investigation, what relevance would be had by acquiring "party affiliation" o…”
“Environmental Protection Agency Head Scott Pruitt has managed to undo, delay or block more than 30 environmental rules in his four months in charge, the largest regulatory rollback in the agency’s 47-year history. Please, preserve our waterways, national parks, and the air we breathe. Businesses who…”
“Truth in labeling. Enough said. Make in the USA should mean just that. "Natural," or "cage-free" are good industry labels that DO NOT factually align with the common-sense definitions they purport to be. Stop misleading the American public and label items as they should be - honestly. Provide us wit…”
“This Pentagon proposal seems short-sighted and illogical. If these individuals possess special skills and are willing to place themselves in harms way, in service to this country, continue the programs and grant them a fast-track to citizenship. These are the types of immigrants who the U.S. should …”
“Respect his years of service, and serve us better: "Feel good" resolutions accomplish nothing meaningful in the governance of our country. With so many ideological struggles (conservative and liberal) please focus your energies elsewhere. We need you to be our voice, not pay lip service to an accomp…”
“Risky financial ventures have crippled the American economy on numerous occasions - often with middle-class and impoverished Americans footing the bill. Speculation and the financial services sector should be regulated and taxed in such a way that revenue is generated to cover any future "bail out" …”
