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.

The United States was founded on the fundamental right of citizens to have a voice in their government. The Citizens United ruling has given corporations and individuals with huge sums of money a disproportionate voice in the financing of political campaigns, effectively limiting the First Amendment freedoms of individual citizens to participate in their government.

Duke Power and Progress Energy merger is unfair to customers due to projected rate hikes following the merger. The details of the merger were not fully disclosed to the NC Utilities Commission, Federal Energy Regulators, and the public. The lack of transparency is a breach of trust. Costly repairs and upgrades will unnecessarily burden the electric utility customers of these/this electric corporation.

My Petition is about Campaign Finance Reform. I have been personally affected by elected officials that put special interest and Corporate greed before the people they have been elected to represent.

The Iraq war is for oil. Oil companies make billions in profits. The oil companies – not the tax payers – need to foot the bill.

My name is Justin Gadson from Charlotte, NC. July 11, 2012 my dog and I were taking our morning walk around the neighborhood along the sidewalk. While crossing the street to head to the house a Time Warner Cable van ran over my dog in front of me. My goal is to continue to help curb reckless driving in neighborhoods and to pressure Time Warner Cable to step up to the plate.

A President must be honest and forthright. Mitt Romneys actions to deliberately hide his tax returns fails to show integrity and honesty. Please tell Mitt Romney to Stop his Deceptive Practices.
