The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) never passed because 3 states refused to ratify it long ago. So, gender-equal treatment in the USA has no legal champion and sex discrimination marches on, male and female alike, leaving this nation without the astounding benefits of equal treatment -- increased Gross Domestic Product, desperately needed increased revenues and decreased costs! Just 3 of the 15 UNratified states can put ERA into the US Constitution making sex discrimination a violation of the US Constitution depending on the case.

As many of you may know, pro gun advocates are calling for Piers Morgan to be deported over comments about gun control (free speech) after the horrible acts of violence we have seen over the last few years.

As a local landlord I been hurt by having spaces not rented due to this city ordinance of denying a business license to a person without a CA. ID.

Amend the United States Constitution to repeal the Second Amendment which has become an impediment to the public safety. Allow the States to regulate weapons and arms in accordance with their constitutions and laws. Allow the Federal Government to adopt such national gun control laws and restrictions as may be needed for the public good.

National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre defended his proposal to put armed guards in every school in the country. This is his solution to prevent future tragedies like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that took the lives of 20 children and six adults. "If it's crazy to call for armed officers in our schools to protect our children, then call me crazy."

As a mother of two children, I'm frustrated by the all-or-nothing rhetoric around gun control and Second Amendment rights. I believe that we can and should make our lives safer by regulating gun ownership in a way similar to how we regulate car ownership. I do not consider these any great threat to our Second Amendment rights. These programs could be paid for with their own registration and licensing fees.

Blacks make up about 12% of the US population, but make up about 80% of the prison population. Nearly 800,000 Black Men are in Prison. The United States has 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's incarcerated population.

It's a Moral, Civil & Human Rights Issue finding a Global audience So Please: Sign the Petition to Abolish The New Jim Crow Laws and Reduce Mass Incarceration Rate, Call for President Obama & Attorney General Holder to FREE THE SLAVES

PASSAGE OF SANE GUN CONTROL LEGISLATION. TOO OFTEN, AS DAYS PASS, THE URGENT NEED FOR GUN CONTROL SEEMS TO FADE. IT MUST NOT, AND AS GRANDPARENTS, WE MUST ADD OUR VOICES TO THE CHORUS DEMANDING STRICTER GUN COTROL LAWS.

Another way to stop gun violence.

It's a matter of common sense.

We are asking all media to stay away from Newtown and Monroe, CT when the students of Sandy Hook Elementary School return to school

I have 11 great grandchildren, so far, living in different States.. The culture they are going to be immersed in should not be that of violence which begets further violence. To be sensible the use of firearms should be sparingly utilized.
