  • Episode 18: Mental Health at School
    Rhuperdia Clay: "There is a definite disproportionate rate of African American girls and boys being either under and undiagnosed; and those same children are then being suspended and expelled at higher rates. Since most children receive a diagnosis within the educational setting, these children automatically are denied the access to the care that they need, because they are not at school.
    So, when I go to the polls, next year, I'm going to elect people who have a connection to and compassion for the working poor and middle class."

  • Episode 17: The Obama Factor
    Frank Jameson IV: "I think our politics has gotten so far away from the people and is so caught up with whoever gives them the money, that POLITICIANS HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT WE ARE AMERICANS and aren't doing what is really best for Americans."

  • Episode 16: Seeking a Better Life
    Karla Jay: "Immigration happens when people are seeking a better life. What I see aren't murderers and rapists. I see human beings who just want what's best for their children. I want ELECTED OFFICIALS to see these people as people and to see what the United States has done in other countries that cause people to have to leave their homes.
    For example, in Venezuela, the United States heavily influenced what happened there. We sold them weapons in the 1980s and caused a lot people to flee their own country. Unfortunately, both parties are NOT BACKING UP VOTERS' interests on this and other issues."

  • Episode 15: Why We Need a Hate Crimes Law
    Kelsey Taylor:
    "I was raised in Marion, Indiana since the age of 2. I don't know if you know much about the history of Marion Indiana. If you look at your history books and there's a hanging on a town square -- that's Marion, Indiana. A young girl made a claim that some men whistled at her. The story was completely made up and men lost their lives. We always knew this in Marion Indiana -- that this is what they do to young black men.
    So, for so many things to be taken out of the Indiana HATE CRIME BILL and have it watered down is like hanging us on that tree all over again. It's not right."

  • Episode 13: Trump: The Antithesis of American Politics
    Joshua Hyde: "The president is the antithesis of what American politics should be. He even said he grabs women by the p%$y. That's not okay. He says and does a lot of things that cause others to think they can say and do a lot of things that we thought were dead. Now we see this rebirth of a way of thinking that divides us.
    It's even hard to celebrate any success that the president may have because a lot of what he does appears to mask other intentions. There should be a very clear discussion about what needs to happen in America. As a whole, I just worry that the American people only go by what any politician says instead of figuring out what really matters to them."
