We've held 150+ town halls where I've gotten to take your questions and hear your ideas. But during our CNN town hall, we announced Town Hall For America because I wanted to hear from you even if you couldn't make it out to an event. Now I want to share some answers with you:
Our first Town Hall for America question came from a transgender leader in Iowa who is fighting for equality, full civil rights, and to ensure everyone is treated with dignity and respect. Watch the question and answer here:
Meghan from Louisville asked me about Medicare for America and how we get to universal health care. My answer:

In a few minutes Amy & I are going to run the Capital City Pride 5K here in Des Moines as we celebrate Iowa’s 10th anniversary of marriage equality. We’re inspired by these victories for the LGBTQ+ community and our country, but we know there’s still a lot of work to do.
This past year, the legislature passed a bill that would prevent public insurance, including Medicaid, from covering the cost of gender reassignment surgery. This is an effort to endanger and devalue the lives of transgender Iowans and we cannot accept it.

We need to sign into law the Equality Act to ensure full civil rights for LGBTQ+ Americans across the country. We must also support organizations like @ACLUiowa who are on the frontlines, fighting for equality. Today as we celebrate, consider donating: aclu-ia.org/en/donate

This administration failed Johana. It failed Roxsana. It is failing transgender women of color across America. We must ensure everyone is treated with dignity and respect — those in our care and those in our communities. These inhumane conditions must end.
As President, here are some immediate steps I will take:

First, I will ensure lawful and humane conditions at our immigration facilities. That means access to medical treatment, mental health care, social workers, and translators. These deaths are preventable.
Second, I will issue an executive order to require detention only for those with criminal backgrounds representing a danger to our communities. We know that these asylum seekers and refugees are harmless kids and families who don’t need to be locked away.

Above all else, immigration is about people. Living in and representing El Paso has allowed me to see the incredible contributions that immigrants make to our communities every single day and I want to share a few of their stories with you: betoorourke.com/immigration/
This is Daisy. She came to the U.S. when she was less than 2 years old and is now studying computer science at UT El Paso. She wants to support our military in cybersecurity but her future is uncertain because she's a Dreamer. Our immigration plan would change that immediately.
Carlos is an immigration attorney. This picture was taken the day he became a US citizen, which he told me was the best day of his life. It took him 18 years to become a citizen because of our outdated and broken system. We need to fix that. Our plan does. betoorourke.com/immigration/

1) Q has told us to dig and after @40_head compiled the Panama canal thread that @AmericanIII and I were asked to be apart of we found more and its damning. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1109391… Q has said that sometimes things have more than one meaing with the Alice in Wonderland comment
2) everyone assumed that S.A only stood for Saudi Aradia but does it? Could it stand for South America as well the thread by @40_head certainly raises questions. Here is the link to that thread if you have not read it please do so before proceeding. @StormIsUponUs @prayingmedic
3) We started to look for a connection between Gustavo Cisneros who is a billionaire mogul originally from Venezuela with strong ties to then leader Hugo Chavez. Cisneros was a huge donor to Chavez’s campaign and they were friends but that relationship changed.

@CNN @zbyronwolf Same reason they refuse to give up the Electoral College... Republicans want to subvert the masses.
@CNN @zbyronwolf Republicans & the Kremlin discovered in the mid-80s that the most gullible Americans were the ones who actually believed God created the Universe in 6 days with 2 white humans named Adam & Eve. That they could be easily manipulated by the NRA.
@CNN @zbyronwolf Trump went to Moscow in 1986, in debt. The Kremlin agreed to bail him out under condition he become a partner. That they'd make him President when the time was right.

Upon returning to NYC, Trump was rich, & he began spouting pro-Russian positions.

CNN’s Existential War With Trump bit.ly/2ANufDO
After just 100 days in office, before his own agendas could even be enacted, the liberal Shorenstein Center at Harvard reported that 93% of CNN’s coverage of the Trump Administration was already negative.
Just one in every 13 CNN stories proved positive. That radically asymmetrical pattern (shared by NBC/MSNBC) had never been seen before in the history of comparable media analytics.

خصوم ترمب مستنفرين والإعلام الأمريكي (#cnn #msnbc وأخواتهما النيويورك تايمز والواشنطن بوست وعصابة اليسار المنحازة ضد ترمب منذ فوزه بالرئاسة ) في حالة سعار وجنون غير مسبوق:

نعم
قد يكون ترمب أخطأ في التشكيك بتقارير استخبارات بلاده وتماهى مع بوتين ، لكن يظل السؤال#
2️⃣
🔴🔴
خصوم ترمب غاضبون لأنه تماهى مع بوتين وشكك في تقارير استخبارات بلاده،وهذا مفهوم،لكن:

لماذا صمت هذا الإعلام عندما ركع اوباما لإيران،وخضع لابتزاز الملالي،واعتقلت ايران جنودا أمريكيين وأهانتهم؟!
هل تماهي ترمب مع بوتين أسوأ من اعتقال وإهانة جنود أمريكيين بلباسهم العسكري؟!
3️⃣
🔴🔴
حتى معظم الجمهوريين الذين يتحجج الإعلام الأمريكي حاليا أنهم غاضبون على ترمب هم خصوم له ، مثل السيناتور جون مكين ، وحاكم ولاية اوهايو ، جون كيسي ، الذي حرمه ترمب من حلم الفوز بالرئاسة، وغيرهم من الجمهوريين الذين جندلهم ترمب في سباق الرئاسة بشكل أفقدهم صوابهم!

1. The sleeping giant is slowly awakening to the corruption that is enslaving us all.

Once this giant has fully awoken we shall be unstoppable.

Public awakening is their greatest fear.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
2. It’s essential that #WeThePeople understand how #Corruption in the pharmaceutical industry has a stronghold on people.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
3. This long & detailed thread will shine light on corruption in the vaccine and cancer industry.

These are complicated & touchy parts of the #DeepState rabbithole for obvious reasons but facing the #Truth is very important.

The truth shall set everyone #free.
