It is an idea to end the sale and possession of assault rifles.

The latest "Too Big to Prosecute" Bank, HSBC (look on the back of your credit cards) has knowingly laundered money from Mexican drug cartels as well as moved funds from sanctioned countries who support terrorists like Iran, Cuba, Sudan and Libya (http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2012/December/12-crm-1478.html). The U.S. Department of Justice has found evidence but has deferred prosecution on the company or any person in the company that allowed the illegal activities to transpire. No person or corporation will be prosecuted. This petition will be sent to the U.S. government to remind them that U.S. citizens are paying attending and want corrupt companies and people in corrupt companies to be accountable, not just with a fine, but with prosecution that any other person would be submitted to in this country. If the company is "Too Big to Fail or Prosecute" then break up the company so that it can be accountable like any other corporation or person in this country.

I never heard a degrading word about other people my years of growing up. What a wonderful sheltered life. Now my grandchildren tell about the anti-bulling concepts they are learning in school. Surely as adults, we can practice some of these concepts. And there is an effective way to do just that.

Recent gun violence at Sandy Hook Elementary is shocking to my moral standards.

This is a petition against how apple charges customers tax after the checkout of iTunes and the app store. When you purchase digital product and check out you have to enter a password then a confirmation for the price pops up. However this is not the actual price you are billed. I and millions of others are letting apple charge you tax after your transaction is complete.

More Americans are killed each year by gun policies supported by the political org NRA then all international terrorist orgs combined. It's time to define and treat the NRA for what it is a domestic terrorist org

Why would he not care for the people of our country? Would he vote NO if it happened here in NM?? President Obama "promised" those people help, and to this day most are still homeless and suffering.

Television viewing costs keep rising.As consumers we have no choice but to purchase packages with multiple channels we do not want only to get the few channels that we do wish to view. This must stop and favor a reasonable individual choice of what citizens want to watch in their homes.I realize this petition may be aimed at a host of government offices and agencies as well as business It is time to bring this action to their attention and stop forced unwanted programming on the public

Why should we, the American taxpayers give this industry billions every year while they make billions in profit every year?

Limit the size of major corporations. I'm not a writer, but here goes nothing.. I feel that a major contributor to the high number of the unemployed is the never ending accumulation of businesses/corporations by larger corporations. When companies merge, employees are weeded out that perform similar functions. Once more, when the major corporation sends these jobs off-seas, the job no longer is done in this country. Finally, this leads to higher prices to the consumer caused by the lack of competing companies.

I, for one, am getting pretty sick of congressman accepting what amounts to bribes from special interest groups. In light of the road the NRA (National Rifle Association) has taken this country over the last couple decades, I think these bribes (i.e. "contributions") are especially egregious. So dear congresspeople: If you count money from the NRA to fund their campaign war chests, you can count us out.

Megabanks that were too big to fail gambled with the American people's deposits, lost, and then demanded an American taxpayer bailout. We need to separate deposit banking from investing banking once and for all to ensure this can't happen again.
