There were 2 GOP candidates I wish I could have voted for; Mitt Romney and John McCain. I voted for BO and would do so again but if a GOP candidate had to win, I wish it were McCain or Romney instead of this turd we have now

Need more petitions to change state constitutions to codify voter rights, womens rights, sick leave, min wage, etc. They can succeed if funded & targeted. The best part of progressive petitions is that they give the left hope. The left does best/w hope as opposed to the right which votes out of fear

There is no quick fix for the big stuff. The 3rd branch of government is conservative & locked in for our lifetime, so anyone reaching out to block progressive executive actions will likely succeed. The best long term goal is state by state petitions to undo gerrymandering & the Citz United decision

Anyone who has rated VA claims knows the name, Gina Uribe, the co-owner of this company. I think she only writes positive medical nexus opinions regardless of the evidence

The company is owned by Gina Uribe. Anyone who rated claims at the VBA knows that name

Worked for a HI company in the late 90s, can attest to how bad it got for people w/ preexisting conditions. Our company regularly denied claims, removed people from policies or excluded coverage for specific conditions via a process called “recission.” U even had to pay extra for pregnancy coverage!

It’s a shame, the way these people, corporates, institutions, and countries suck up to the orange man. Nothing like this before in my generation.

We have to start with a fix for gerrymandering. That will ensure the power remains with the people; who as voters they can affect true, meaningful changes. As opposed to gerrymandered districts, resulting in a select group of voters being over represented in Congress.

This started with gerrymandered districts. The left has to overperform to win the house and presidential elections. The GOP can have a down year and still come out even or ahead in some cases. Which leads to apathy from left leaning, low propensity voters. Fix gerrymandering now!!!

People power works if gerrymandering isn’t an issue. In these 2 races, that wasn’t an issue. For our votes to matter and for people to take back power nationally we have to fix gerrymandering. That must be a priority!!!

My unit provided security for fuel trucks and supply trucks. Those truck drivers were mostly non-American (Philippines, Vietnam, Syria, etc.) but we were all targeted. Our reward for escorting those needed supplies, were IEDs. Which also targeted Iraqi citizens. That’s why they’re terrorists.

A similar concept are EFP IEDs (which Iran supplied to the terrorists in Iraq). They would punch a hole in our armor; from the outside you see a baseball size hole and think it wasn’t bad, but inside the vehicle, everything was turned into spaghetti O’s because of the targeted projectile and energy

I’m no fan of the douche Cheeto in the White House but photos of the top soil won’t show the true damage inflicted. The MOP is meant to penetrate 200+ feet and then damage the target. You can see the holes punched in the soil on the after photos but any damage underneath is not visible

absolutely a shortage in healthcare, even worse in specific segments such as mental healthcare. We have to address it now because HC is slowly fixed (schooling is long). The shortages are even more pronounced in rural areas because docs don’t want to live in the middle of now where

I feel for those losing their job due politics, obvious this will cause ripples in the economy. The threat of cuts can cause a slow down too; feds avoid spending on large purchases like new cars, new house, etc. because they don’t know if they will have a job months or years from now

Bring them to Omaha for this year. Great downtown stadium, home of the CWS, metro area has nearly 1 million people, we would love to support an orphan team for a year!

He can use the metadata. Use things like response % by agency & then reward or target them. Can search for key words & again reward or target

It’s easy for a nurse, doctor or FBI agent to respond. But a lot of us do jobs that important, but don’t allow for specific accomplishments. For example, I rate disability claims, I love my job, I love helping people. When I grant benefits, I truly believe I am making a difference someone’s life
