Senator Whitehouse is one of the few honest and truthful people in the whole of congress!

Please explain to the American people why we live under a 2 tier justice system where tax-payers are treated aggressively yet the rich and powerful, who skirt paying taxes and honoring their oaths to the constitution, run-free for two years (at least) after their crimes are committed? How can young men and women sacrifice their lives in defense of such a nation?

This man is a champion of the people. His voice has not yet reached a large audience but he soldiers on nonetheless. What else can he do? Bravo Senator. We support you.

This has to become a daily exercise. Calling them out publicly and explaining their bad intentions and deception.

American Citizen Voters have been very generous. However, it's not our responsibility to support the oligarchs, super rich, or corporations. We do well to provide food, shelter, and health care for our own families without being forced to provide luxuries for those who already have plenty. Their lives are already filled with abundance, so they have no need to stand on our shoulders. It's time for them to step up, get in the game, and contribute. Pay taxes. Assist and contribute to good causes. Choose the unselfish way that will benefit or mentor others. American Citizen Voters, we can only change their behavior by rewarding the good behavior. This nutty MAGA behavior will eventually put these people in prison. Until then, we must remove the ones in elected positions from their ability to make decisions. We must establish more effective controls so that our government officials are less vulnerable to being bought, body, mind, and soul. We need government officials who have allegiance to America and Americans.

The US has become 70% dependent on consumer spending alone to drive its economy. No longer employed in full-time jobs, w/ benefits, workers get caught between declining purchasing power and soring health care costs. Many workers additionally suffer under a global 'wage race to the bottom' as corporations seek the low cost supplier (wherever they may be off shore). The Middle class has become a "vanishing class".

Man I wish Sheldon would run. That guy is so solid.

Democrats: We need to feed and take care of our people.
MAGA Republicans: Let them eat Cake!

[TSchum]

Yes ...This direct intelligent man should run!!!

I stop everything when Sheldon Whitehouse, speaks.
