Alabama IVF Issue
Since the gov't body of Alabama is allowing indictments for murder of IVF, shouldn't the Alabamians be allowed to consider them as a dependent on their tax returns? State return definitely, Fed return possibly. Bigger question, why is Gov't getting directly involved in the medical arena? Leave it to the medical community to decide those issues.
Firearm Reform Issue
2nd Amendment, Right to Bear Arms. A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, etc... A Militia is a body of citizens enrolled for military service serving only in emergencies, this is NOT the general public at large. Shouldn't there be an upgrade to this Amendment where automatic weapons are only allow in the actual Military or Police services? Avid hunters do not use automatic weapons taking down game. 10 states are trying to ban "Assault-Style Weapons". Let make if Federal so that hopefully we can minimize all the mass shooting recently.
Official Language ?
The Us is 1 of 3 countries out of the 195 countries in the world (I believe) that does not have an official language. By having an official language and nudging immigrants to use this language, public communication and hopefully public safety can be enhanced. Since English is the most predominant language in use (worldwide) today, we should adopt English as our "Official" language.
Billionaires for Government Positions
In an interview with Brian Tyler Cohen, Bernie Sanders (I-VT) indicated a disaster for working people. should a Republican slate of millionaire (very wealthy people) out-of-state candidates running for the Senate get elected. He also states that we are living in a very corrupt political system. Billionaires can buy the election themselves. It certainly seems like it's true from my view. How do we address this situation so that people in Office, actually represent the people who voted them in?
Climate Change - What To Do?
Global Warming that’s causing our climate crisis is already having dire consequences, including worsening extreme weather events, Antarctic ice chunks breaking apart, Wildfire seasons becoming are months longer, mosquitoes expanding their territory with the possibility of spreading disease. Although humans are the main culprit, China (#1) spewing 14 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, and the US (#2) spewing 6 million tons. Politically I know China is our opposition, but shouldn't we try to make them an ally in this endeavor to save our planet along with our own scientists (and politicians who can regulate laws) to try to make our world better for tomorrow than today? With so many things wrong in the Us and the world, we should start somewhere. Why not with this where everyone can benefit.
