On the Election:
If you were to confront me back in January, I would tell you that nothing brought me more of a sense of civic pride than thinking forward to the time in September when I would be able to tap into my rights as a citizen of the United States and cast a vote in the General Election of 2016. I cannot express how drastically that viewpoint has changed. Over the primary season, a shadow of discouragement, desolation, and despondency has descended upon myself and Generation Z’ers alike. Our enthusiasm and eagerness to cast a ballot, engaging in our protected Constitutional rights is now all but decimated, completely crushed by the outlandish nature of the campaigning on both the Republican and Democratic side. Child’s play. That is what we observe. Actions and words meant for...

Dear Mrs. Wasserman,
As much as you would like all Sanders supporters to embrace your gal Hillary (your personal friend for 15+ years) it ain't happening and I will tell you why...
1) We are not as dumb, naïve, and gullible as you thought we would be and we discovered most, if not all of your dirty tricks put into play at polling stations, especially in California which has been confirmed by veteran investigative reporters Greg Palast and Daniel Hopsicker as detailed at the link below. Election fraud is a felony crime Debbie.

Bernie, as a loyal supporter, I have a message for you:
After all you have done for the progressives in this country, after all of the things you have done to reshape this party, you cant shape change from within the broken system. Arizona, New York, and now California. When it comes to broken primaries, The Democratic party has its share. I send you this message, not knowing if it will be received or even read, not knowing whether you will see my response out of the thousands you get daily; in hopes that a clear statement can get you to reconsider the decision I know you have been asked to make, and will soon cave to. I have seen very little in my time, as a voter, and as an American.
However, what I have seen is very simple, and it is this: Without risk, there is no reward....

Dear Editors, Press regulation authorities, Home Office, Safeguarding Boards and other recipients,
The Archbishop of Canterbury's corporation, the Church of England, is under investigation for systemic crimes against Children.
Some of those children died as children as a result or committed suicide as adults as a result of their abuse. All survivors are affected for life by what they endured.
I am a vulnerable adult Church abuse survivor who the Archbishop has publicly destroyed and discredited while falsely claiming, with the help of the press and media, that that the Church of England are very hot on safeguarding. The press and media buy this without question and broadcast it and mislead the general public, anguishing the voiceless survivors who know that the truth is very...

Terri – Do you really believe this, or is this just campaign rhetoric? Is there really wage discrimination or do many women choose to make their young families a priority over their careers for a period of time? I think you know the truth yet ignore it for the opportunity to tug at the heart strings of voters to serve your own political expediency. Shameful.
Shouldn’t every employee be paid what they are worth? If you have skills that are in demand shouldn’t they be compensated accordingly regardless of gender? If I’m an employer, I want the best talent I can afford and will pay what I can for it, regardless of gender and I shouldn’t need a law to tell me so, especially a redundant one. I would have to believe that the many working women out there who have the highly demanded...

Dear Miss Rasmussen,
I have had the rather dubious privilege of reading both your character statement about Brock Turner and your rebuttal to the public backlash to said statement. I'd like to take a moment to address the things within your letter to the judge and your defense of yourself that contradict each other as well as provide my thoughts on both of your statements.
1. I do not fault you for you writing a letter on his behalf as someone who knew him for so long. What I do fault you for is this statement, “I don't think it's fair to base the fate of the next ten + years of his life on the decision of a girl who doesn't remember anything but the amount she drank to press charges against him. I'm not blaming her directly for this because this because that just isn't right."...

I'm writing to ask a question No one has answered. I've asked everyone repeatedly including every democrat congress rep every senator from California and many republican congress rep and senator several governors country wide. And no it's not about how the VA hurts veterans (been doing that for 13 years with no answer) Do you really believe that every current and past military member or dependent that was foreign born are insignificant? is my ex-wife or her relatives insignicant? is my stepson, my great grandfather too? You see they all came to the U.S. legally My Ex-wife went through the whole immigrant process AND more she had to go to "bride" classes (military recquirements are tough) My stepson who was 10 when he was finally allowed to come here 6 years after starting the process....

Dear Democratic Superdelegates,
I am a registered democrat, and I wanted to take this moment to explain why I will be choosing Donald Trump over Hilary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. And before you write me off as being bitter, or misinformed, let me say this: I know that Trump will destroy this home we've built together. I want you to understand why, for millions of disenfranchised voters like me, that very destruction is the best hope we have.
A little background: after four years at the university where I earned my bachelors degree, created and served as the president of two clubs, and became heavily involved in negotiating with administrators and contractors on behalf of the student body; after all of that, I got a contract with one of the largest tech giants in our...

I have a few questions for everyone out there posting all of these hate memes about president Obama visiting Japan over the holiday. I saw one earlier that was straight up calling the President a "douchebag" for placing a mourning wreath on a monument in Japan. My first question is, do you actually know anything about the holiday you are so loudly and rudely trying to be jaded and indignant over? I get that Memorial Day is an American holiday. That basically means America came up with it. I get it. Thank you Wikipedia. But do you get the significance of a holiday created to mourn our most nobel fallen? Part of it is to mourn the men and woman that died protecting their country, but another part of it is to reflect on the price of their death. Firstly, it wasn't just Japanese people who...

Dear Mr. President,
I recently watched a YouTube video of your final Correspondents' Dinner speech and, I must say, I found it to be the most literally awesome thing I have heard in quite some time.
I have little shame in admitting that many of the impeccably delivered 'zingers' went over my head, and it was only from context (and the “I just got Jack Nicholson-ed” expression shadowing the faces of certain attendees featured in the cut-shots) that I was able to glean the intent and poignancy of your most excellent soliloquy.
I generally avoid, at all costs, availing myself of the finer details regarding the deplorable situation in which the human race has entrenched itself. Life is hard enough without a comprehensive knowledge of the atrocities permeating every nook and cranny of...
