When I was still in high school the country was rocked by the tragedy of Columbine high school. Now barely thirteen years later Colorado and the country have been shocked by another major mass shooting. Large sporting good retailers like Dick's Sporting Goods carry and sell high capacity magazines for assault rifles. While this petition is not to ban the sale of guns or deny people the right to purchase them. It is about taking measures to help ensure these kinds of terrible events are lessened. Do the American people really need 100 bullet magazines for assault rifles? No, no they don't. These large high capacity magazines were once illegal and should be again. Please help make this happen by signing my petition to tell large sporting retailers like Dick's to stop selling these dangerous items.

It’s time we return to government of, by and for the people--not government of, bought, and paid for by special interests. The job of a Wall Street banker is to get a good return on their investment, and unfortunately, they’ve taken those skills to Washington--and now the presidency. Mitt Romney is attending an elite London fundraiser--$25,000 to $75,000 per plate--hosted by the CEOs at the center of the LIBOR scandal threatening our already fragile economy. Executives of at least three other banks under investigation are co-chairs of the fundraiser, according to invitations obtained by The Washington Post. At the same time, too many Americans are falling out of the middle class when they are working hard to climb the ladder into it. In fact, middle-class workers have seen their incomes drop by nearly 8 percent in three years and their wealth disappear by a staggering 40%. We believe politicians should work for us, not their corporate sponsors. It is time for Mitt Romney to fully disclose his donors--and how much they are giving to his campaign. As a Clean Elections candidate in Maine, every $5 qualifying contribution I collect to earn public financing—and all my campaign expenses—are fully disclosed. Shouldn't we expect someone running for the highest office in the land to at least disclose how much money he is getting from bank CEOs linked to LIBOR corruption? If the name of someone donating $5 should be disclosed, isn't it time someone donating $5,000 or $5,000,000 should, too?

Asking the governor, who I voted for to change the power of the PSC to help the people who voted for him and those who didnt. We need change from how Pepco is running you, the Governor ! And how they have been treating us the voters !!!!

Providing names, photos, details of massacres only spurs more crazy people into copy cat crimes. The crazy criminal could not afford ten seconds of air time, yet the media gives hours of time to them for free. The more heinous the massacre, the more time they get. It makes them into heroes to other sick minded individuals and gives them a blue print to improve upon.

MSNBC has recently started to let the Republican National Committee air their misleading ads against President Obama during their regular programming. The past four years all the GOP has done is obstruct and attempt to repeal common sense services that have been in place since 1940's such as medicare and social security. If your tired of the same old rederict and partisan bullying that has come from these people pleas sign below. It makes no sense that a progressive and honest news channel would allow the radical right and republicans to air the misleading attacks against president Obama.

Many news organizations, as well as a large number of websites that comment on news events should be required to give a more honest look at the news, instead of just forwarding their own agendas.

We need commonsense gun control now, including the following: * Ban civilian ownership of weapons designed for warfare, including assault weapons. * Close the gun show loophole. * Limit high capacity ammunition magazines. * Create certificates of ownership for firearms, similar to automobiles, which should be governed by similar regulations, including the need for training, testing, and insurance. I'm a MoveOn member. I'm a gun owner. I'm a Christian. I'm a Grammy-winning country music producer. And I'm asking us to come together, in the wake of one of the deadliest mass shootings in modern U.S. history, and stand up to the NRA by calling for an end to senseless gun violence. El Paso. Dayton. Gilroy. Santa Fe, TX. Parkland. Sutherland Springs. Las Vegas. Sandy Hook. Columbine. Aurora. Virginia Tech. How many more innocent victims must die at the hands of an antiquated and oft-misinterpreted amendment? Enough. It's time to say that thoughts and prayers are no longer enough in the face of gun-related tragedies. We need meaningful action. Gun control doesn't mean no guns. I'm a gun owner, and I'm not suggesting that we take guns away. I'm suggesting that we put tighter controls on acquiring and owning them. We must ban assault weapons and all weapons of war. We simply cannot fast track the use of silencers or allow public access to armor-piercing ammunition. Gun show loopholes must be stopped. Ammunition should not be sold online. Mandatory wait periods should be enforced, during which time a thorough background check, psychological and medical evaluation, and character references should be completed. More accountability should be placed in the hands of retailers. When patrons refuse wait periods, authorities should be notified. Training and testing should be mandatory, as should a renewal process that includes many of the above-mentioned evaluation terms. I would hope that we could all agree to submit ourselves to these terms. Currently, it's easier to go to a gun show and pick up a firearm than it is to go to the local pharmacy and buy cold medication. Acquiring and owning a gun should be at least as controlled as getting a license to drive a car. Gun control alone is not the whole of the solution, but it's a start. And if it saves one sweet life, it's worth it.

Our Petition is poised to ban Monsanto and their GMO produce/products Worldwide...very simple and to the point.
