He also voted against repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell, which means he refused to support all our troops since he wanted to abandon the ones who are gay and their families.

Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, is gay, as are many employees. Microsoft is an avid supporter of equal rights. Google has contributed to the "It Gets Better" campaign. Yet Issa continues to be a selfish politician who is either filled with hate against Gay Americans, a soulless opportunist, or both. He is not in the same side as the tech companies that give him the social mouthpiece he uses.

He whines about protecting religious freedom yet he attacks my religious belief in same-sex marriage by using the government to discriminate against me and my partner. What about the religious beliefs of Gay Americans? What about the religious beliefs of employees?

I hope that Issa will one day face the karmic consequences of all the hate, oppression and suffering he is pushing onto innocent Americans who want nothing more than to be treated equally.

I agree, Mexico was unable to raise tariffs as a result of NAFTA while the U.S. subsidized its farming goods. Mexico's only course of action would have been to subsidize their good as well, but they simply do not have the assets to do so. The result is that Mexican farming jobs were stolen by the U.S. which created a huge demand for farm workers in the U.S. which resulted in immigrants coming to the U.S. undocumented.

Without NAFTA, I could imagine Mexico raising tariffs, more farming jobs in Mexico and fewer farm workers immigrating to the U.S. This also means that the U.S. farming industry would have more difficulty.

Hello Mr. Lester,

Did you know of people who were gay when you were in Germany? If so, could you tell me about any perceptions you may have had as to what they were going through during that time? I'm gay and I know some of the history of gay people in the Holocaust, but we lost a lot of their stories, I'm assuming because after they were liberated from the camps they were put back into prison for being gay and so weren't free to tell their stories.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
