Urgent Issue: Foreign Gifts, National Security Risk, & Constitutional Violations

I am writing as a concerned citizen deeply alarmed by credible reports that President Trump is receiving a $400 million luxury aircraft from Qatar and retrofitted as a future Air Force One.

Let’s Call It What it is. The Jet is a Bribe

To accept the “gift” of a 747 jumbo jet worth more than $400 million from the Qatari royal family would be a new low even for someone as morally ungrounded, awash in corruption, and easily bought as Donald Trump. Congress must use its full authority over emoluments to reject what is essentially a na

Stop this Unconstitutional and unAmerican Rhetoric about Removing Habeas Corpus

Fund Head Start

Do not cut funding to Head Start! This program is helping $750,000 children get ready for school! It makes possible early interventions into correctable problems like speech and eyesight. It feeds children. It also lets parents work at a time when we need them. This has been around long enough that

Raise taxes on the wealthy and close “basis shifting” loophole

Would you explain why it is a problem to up the tax rate on millionaires? Everyone wants the deficit paid down and that seems like a pathway to help. Just because millionaires in Congress and on Fox News protest, that is not a good reason to not proceed for our country’s health. All of us are going
