List of American voting wants

The majority of Americans seem to have a few things on their wish list, putting politics on notice:
1. They would like to see reasonable gun controls enacted that would make a difference in preventing mass shootings.
2. They would like a woman to be able to choose what happens to her in case of a pregnancy that is not planned. No American should lose the right to make medical decisions relating to their own bodies.
3. They would like educators and teachers to have all books and publications available for the education of our young people. Choosing the books and handwritten materials that are used in teaching should not be controlled by any group or person.
4. They would like the history of America to be taught to our children in an honest and factual manner, so that they too can understand how this nation has evolved.
5. They would like the ability to vote without being hindered by state laws passed by the Republicans because of their fear of the American voter.
The younger people of this nation have the most to lose and need to make their voices heard by voting. Please vote!
