I signed this petition to the House of Congress and Senate and to President Barack Obama for the entire country because we live in a land where EVERYONE should be treated equally. In divorce process men are being treated unfairly by the family laws. Men should be given equal rights in divorce process. There are men who are good husband, good father, good provider and good citizens but when it comes to divorce men are treated like 4th class citizen. The kids and the father have to suffer for the consequences. It is dangerous. I am affected by the very unfair family law and my kids and I are suffering because of that. How many times do we hear a mentally unbalanced person or a nut case was raised by a bad father? But we do hear a lot more often that a killer was raised by a single mother. We as a good father, good provider and a good person deserve a fair chance. But that is not the case, when it comes to divorce the wife’s attorney takes her case like an automobile accident victim because the attorney know it is a win win situation but the husband is asked several thousand dollars as a retainer., Why is that? Because the divorce law is discriminative towards men and it needs to be changed We need to be treated fairly.

Let's put prayer back in our school systems. Our county was founded on the words In God we trust.This statement is on every piece of currency we have yet we do not stand by this statment. It is nessassary that we stand on faith as the united people we pose as

Driving an automobile on the streets of America is a "privilege" not a right. We know that automobiles in the hands of incompetent drivers are dangerous. This begs the question; are guns not more dangerous than automobiles? Still, many of us, object to imposing controls on the use of these dangerous weapons.

Too many members of congress have been cowed for far too long by the powerful gun lobby – we must join together to give them the encouragement and the backbone to do the right thing. We proved in the last election that when we stand together and speak out, YES WE CAN defeat the big money interests in this country.

The citizens of the United States of America have the right to know who owns guns in their communities. Whether it be the apartment above you or the neighbor across the street, we have the right to know that a deadly weapon exists within our comfort zone. School officials also have the right to know if a student's family has an arsenal in their home. Police have the right to know if a family member is armed when they approach a home, especially in cases of domestic violence. We have the right to know if a home is safe before we send our children over to a friend's house to play.

Release the former Marine, Jon Hammar, who is locked up for no good reason in a Mexican prison after he secured permission from U.S. Customs to carry an antique rifle across the border. He then checked in with Mexican officials, who arrested Hammar, threw him in prison, and chained him to his bunk. Let's get him home to his family by Christmas.

Reform gun control laws to reduce violence using guns.

The biggest loophole in gun sales and background checks is guns old at gun shows.Guns sold at gun shows do not require a background check. Gun show dealers then sell guns without doing background checks.

What are we most proud of as Americans? In the wake of the most nonsensical death of 20 beautiful children, how should Americans stand as a country to the world and our children now?

This proposed amendment is a bit broad but the thought is on target Children of congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans. How nice for them! Monday on Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop? 35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention. This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on. This is an idea that we should address. For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform. in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.

As parents our number one job is to keep our children safe. It is evident as a society we are failing at that. You can change that by signing this petition. We are not against the 2nd amendment but we are against high powered assault weapons. We are against anyone being able to purchase these kind of weapons that can cause massive casualties in a very short period of time. We are against magazines that have more than 10 bullets. We are against loopholes associated with purchasing guns at gun trade shows. The only place these kind of weapons belong is in war zone and our schools, theatres and malls are not a battlefield. No child should ever have to ask "Mommy is it safe to go to school?" and no parent should have to ponder that question.
