HCR 2056 Disables Public Health

Please vote no on HCR 2056, titled “Medical Mandates; Right to Refuse.” Public health is an executive function that must operate in real time.

Trans people existing DOES NOT "sexualize children"

What are you going to do about the presidency? Trump is clearly unwell. He does not have the mental function left to deal with the problems of the United States on the world stage. Instead he has made the world stage his own personal vendetta machine. This is damaging our country. Biden was only

For decades I did my own taxes. Lately I was using Intuit but last year I used IRS free tax returns. The IRS product was better than anything else I've used. It was relatively straightforward, it got the job done and it was over with! The year before I had to pay $150 for Intuit and then they mes

Please require that any candidate in charge of Public lands commits to protecting those lands for the public--not enabling extraction industries and billionaires. This BLM guy looks to be an executive branch agent of destruction. Peace.

Please vote NO on HCR 2040. This bill is an attack on the freedom of association and basic liberties of the educators who do their best for Arizona students.

Oppose Policies Accelerating Medicare and Social Security Insolvency

Before ICE we had INS. Abolish ICE and replace it with something better

ICE is a relatively new bureaucratic creation and it can be replaced, just as it was a congressional creation from the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) that provided these programs with chaos from 1933-2003. ICE has continued to act violently and lawlessly against individuals in America

STOP OVERPRICED ICE WAREHOUSE PURCHASES. I understand that DHS is overpaying massively for the detention warehouses it’s purchasing—new reporting says there’s a 33% to 323% markup on these facilities compared to fair market values.
