• keep families together
    keeping families together. My sister is disabled and a mother of 4 and they are deporting her husband and father of the children. I feel if they have children here they should be able to stay and work to take care of the family they have here and see to it they have a place to live and food to eat. People fus because their are to many on welfer but they are send home the men that keep the women off of it. I feel that in order to make things better we must first make it rite.

  • Social Security Benefit Cuts
    Social security benefits have been paid by the workforce and their employers for years and the government has mismanaged these funds to the extent that they say they are now going to have to reduce benefits to keep the program solvent. Why is it always the people who can least afford a "Pay" cut, the ones who have to bail out the nation because of reckless political spending.

  • Gun owners personal liability law
    I believe that if people would be held liable for their guns they would be more diligent about keeping them locked up. almost everyone I grew up with hunted & owned a variety of guns. kids and irresponsible family members could not gain access to them.

  • Don't Teach Violence-No Guns in Schools!
    Armed guards at school and armed school personnel would imply that school violence is inevitable. It isn't-- and its only being proposed to protect the political agenda of the NRA. Assault weapons need to be banned NOW.

  • Stop The Gun Slaughtering In America
    Too many Americans have been slaughtered by permissive gun laws in this country. Even after the murder of 20 elementary school children the NRA and too many politicians do not get the message that this must stop. The time has come for the citizens of this great country to have their voices heard.

  • "Governor Walker: Please ban the sale of automatic weapons in WI."
    I am a hunter and believe there is no need for anyone in our state to own an automatic weapon, the clips, and the ammunition for that fire arm.

  • Arming Teachers is not the Answer
    In the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings, the NRA and other pro-gun advocates have stated that the key to ensuring the safety of our nation's students is to arm teachers and other school staff members. As a teacher myself, this is a fundamentally absurd notion that will only serve to make our children feel less safe.

  • Teachers and guns in school
    My daughter is 8 years old. Yes, I want her safe in school. NO I do not believe teachers being armed with guns is the answer. I personally believe every school should have an armed officer and metal detectors. No person(s) should be allowed on premises without being checked. No guns on school property is currently the law. So why not enforce it???

  • No Social Security Payment Reductions
    Congress is considering reducing Social Security payments for current and future recipients, many of whom already struggle to make ends meet. We pay into Social Security our entire lives, and the government has no right to take it from us.
