“The corrupt hawk leading the nation of Israel has been indicted by his own government. War crimes and atrocities are being committed by both Palestinians (not all) and Israelis (not all). A multinational political solution to this decades-old conflict is long overdue. Terrorists on both sides must b…”

“The VRA is diminished by several insidious means of those local politicians who are corrupt. Participation in our democracy MUST be defended and strengthened everywhere and at all times. In the digital age, this includes cyber security of voting systems and data. We must never go back to how we used…”

“Here we go again. More presidential corruption? Diversion of taxpayer dollars to a political hack crony for building a trophy wall? Crony’s company not on approved list? Something is rotten...again. Time to turn over all the rocks and throw open the closets. INVESTIGATE BABY—INVESTIGATE!”

“Insider trading is immoral and illegal. It reflects the dark underbelly of our nation’s obsession with wealth and tolerance of financial dishonesty and greed. It is not commendable or cool. It. Is. Wrong. We have to attack this problem with a federal legal definition—and then prosecute these greedy …”

“The president committed impeachable acts. The evidence is sufficient. In the military, conduct unbecoming is subject to punishment. In the civilian life of elected officials, conduct unbecoming is subject to punishment too. If we are a nation of laws—and we are—then this president must be impeached.…”

“As soon as I learned that the Trump administration is proposing this immoral change to SNAP (food stamps haven’t existed for years), I got on the phone. I called my Congress member and demanded two things: an end to federal subsidies of the energy industry (Big Oil) and a thorough audit of the Depar…”

“The Chinese leadership is a bunch of medieval autocrats. Any lip service it pays to human rights is hollow on its face. Re-education camps?! My God! It’s practically 2020! Why would any ethical American organization/business/corporation want to sell high tech to China, after all it has done to rob U…”

“Should we Americans wink and nod as a former KGB wolf-spook laughs at our nation and its inept president? No. Not. Ever. Like it or not, anything does not go in the global community of nations. Putin should have his leash yanked by ALL of the G-7 members, not only by the Congress of the United State…”

“This action is long overdue. The treatment of First Nation peoples by European immigrants—and especially the federal government—has historically been abhorrent. Just because this long-term injustice was sanitized from many school textbooks doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. To cleanse the U.S. Code of …”

“China has been a human rights disaster for decades. It proudly steals intellectual property through industrial espionage. We Americans feed it with our consumer choices. Yet, this powerful trade partner consistently shirks its obligation to the global community of nations to respect and uphold widel…”

“The enormous and deadly problems that result in school shootings must be addressed with an urgent response. While parents are accountable for the violent conduct of their children, so are local, state and federal governments in their responsibility to protect public safety. Data—even more than emoti…”

“It appears that this effort would clarify ambiguous language in the existing statute/policy. I see zero rationale for denying this action. Until warriors are no longer necessary to defend our nation and its interests, fallen warriors deserve the utmost respect and gratitude—including these displays.”
