If the legislative branch of our democracy is able to override this veto, then the bill that would allow families of Sept. 11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia and other countries over the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people would be quashed.

HAS AMERICA LOST?

The Donald and Hillary came out swinging in a contentious first nationally televised and streamed debate. Both entered the debate trying to win support from an unusually high number of voters who are probably undecided.

Government for the people and by the people exercised either directly or through elected representatives. The United States is not a direct democracy, in the sense of a country in which decisions and laws are made predominantly by majority vote.

Depending on which side of the aisle you fall under, there is something for everyone below:

it may be more theatrics than politics, but as the song says, tonight won't be just any night. Millions of people will watch Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the first presidential debate.

Tonight is the matchup we’ve all been waiting for. Hillary and Donald will debate for the first time at Hofstra University in Hempstead, Long Island. Both candidates call New York home.

In the first step to victory, both must lay out a clear agenda of how they plan to move America forward during the next four years with a do nothing Congress.

Madam President?

Longtime Clinton watchers are amazed over The Clinton’s post–White House escapades, from dubious associations to media blowups which have bruised the campaigns.

First, there was Bill's Camp pain 1992 then your 2008, which were progressively difficult but 2016 has been brutal. While she was out there changing the world, her detractors are trying to knock her down with campaign lies and accusations which presaged what would happen during her administration. She has been relentless and for that, Hillary has made herstory as well as history and must be congratulated. Kudos on all those surprise endorsements from Republicans and Democrats as well as from various well-respected American newspapers' editorial boards.

Hillery Clinton may become the first female leader of the free world. I have no political affiliation I'm not a Democrat and not Republican though some have tried to convert me.

How will The Donald handle his lying statements challenged by an intelligent, experienced woman with a long and established track record?

Clean Sweep

GOP-controlled US Congress is drinking a toxic brew of political polarization and gerrymandering that has the legislative body gridlocked and institutionally exists from one crisis to another.

The Republican Party does not deserve to be in charge. They have shut the government down at times and refuse to vote on legislation and presidential appointments.

USA can't afford to drag its feet any longer, we have gone without a properly functioning government for the last 8 years due to this obstruction. All apparently because the republicans were unhappy with a black president.

This is holding our country back. It is almost impossible to pass legislation it's all frozen up.

We need to break the logjam and Flip the Congress.

In the Senate, it would only take a change of 5 seats to Flip the Senate.

In the House, it would only take a change of 30 seats to Flip the House of Representatives.

All You have to do is Vote.

If you have difficulty getting to the poll to Vote use an Absentee Ballot.
