One speech isn't going to change anyone's opinion on major topics, but they can influence what I think on some of the finer points.

My opinions are generally set in the political sphere, and a Presidential address is just a semantic stunt to make me perk up at a certain platform. That won't happen!

I do my homework. I know the truth before hand. If you make an abrupt change in your thinking from a speech you are likely a political lemming.

Funny thing about primetime lies is that they are still lies!

Kathy Deloach

No they tell the people what they want to hear and most of it is BS

Ka San

Not from this guy!

Marija Peče

This is so stupid and I would like to instead see attention given to the corruption involved in government spending due to priorities given from lobbyists at the expense of important social programs

Trump tries to be a dictator, not a president of our nation. I don't believe anything he says because he lies so much. It is a tragic and dangerous situation we are in with this president.

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Yes, and do some more logging and cleaning the forest

Oakley Taylor

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

Oakley Taylor

Bravo!

Karen Thrower

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Oakley Taylor

True dat.

Scott Taylor

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

Oakley Taylor

Yay to you!

Oakley Taylor

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Carol Yetter

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

Oakley Taylor

So true.
