From a verified voter in Middletown, NJPublic Citizen filed the first lawsuit of Trump’s second term — literally one minute after he was sworn in.

From a verified voter in Budd Lake, NJTrump doesn’t need another ego boost, but WE THE PEOPLE need to eat!
Stop the blocking of funding to public services like EBT/SNAP and WIC. Our President is spending money on war and vanity projects like he’s printing it in the basement while Americans go hungry. It’s time to stop pandering to one man’s ego. In the wealthiest country on earth, people going hungry is

From a verified voter in Budd Lake, NJConversion therapy is torture and must be eradicated!
The first amendment of the constitution of the United States of America was not written as a loose guideline. It was not a suggestion, an inference, or a malleable recommendation. It is an inalienable right for the residents and citizens of this nation to speak up and be heard. HOWEVER… there is a v

WE THE PEOPLE… demand an immediate cease and desist against ICE! Most importantly to this citizen- the proposed detention center in Roxbury, NJ. There is inadequate infrastructure available to support it. The facility would house 1,500 detainees and 1,000 staff in a space currently zoned for indust
From a verified voter in Budd Lake, NJCalifornia did it. The rest of the country can too! No sex predators in office!
I am writing this morning to ask that you review what is happening in the state of California. Women came forward against Swalwell. The Democratic Party listened to the women.

From a verified voter in Budd Lake, NJThis is not monopoly. Tell Trump to stop playing with human life!
As a lapsed Catholic, never would I ever have thought I’d find myself siding with the Pope. However, he seems to be the only reliable source of integrity and moral character these days, so here we are. Pope Leo’s admonishment to the United States on its apparent mission to starve Cuba is the only

From a verified voter in Budd Lake, NJDemand justice for the Epstein victims.
