My generation survived mumps, chicken pox, measles, scarlet fever, polio, small pox and other diseases. Some killed or maimed for life. Life has always been full of dangers and we are stronger for it. Don't suffocate our young let them be free.

Hey, some kids always drown every year anyway, so why should we bother with arm floats?

She is 17 and is capable of deciding for herself. She chooses no because of her asthma.

It's all about control at this point. Remember the Democrat memo "Never let a good crisis go to waste". Home school and protect your kids from the brain washing in public school.

My childrens health and wellness should be based on my decisions not the governments. I'm not sending her to school if they want to mask them up. Our governor has overstepped her authority in our lives again and again.

Actually, my kids are already homeschooled. Public schools have failed on many levels.

It's child abuse to make kids wear masks. They are the LEAST susceptible.

I'm homeschooling. My daughter has asthma and they made her wear a mask while outside running around. She had more asthma attacks last year than any other year. Masks and vaccines should be a personal choice. Not a mandate.

This is a rapidly mutating virus. Why give it a chance to continue to spread and transform into even more transmissible and deadly variants. We need to stop taking half measures on an inconsistent basis and act to once and for all vanquish this pandemic.

Why? Because 1) the virus is not significantly dangerous to kids at all. 2) there is no scientific study or statistics that show unmasked kids in schools lead to higher community infection rates. 3) masks, for many, trigger migraines, staph infections, acne, etc. 4) masks obliterate socializing

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
