I have ten grandchildren that I want to grow up without fear of gun-toting maniacs storming their schools. As someone who has personally been threatened by someone I knew, I am against gun violence and want tougher laws on gun control, including background checks and limiting assault rifles. The second amendment should not supercede all the others. Teachers have enough responsiblity; they don't need to add stress with the addition of MORE guns in schools.

Monday February 4, 2013, the city council will decide whether or not our city will spend over $200,000 on a special election, an election that special interests have already begun spending toward having. They are doing a petition drive for a special election and a phone survey to find out who the best candidate to challenge me would be. Richmond needs this money in their general funds for city services.

Far to long good people could not run for office without giving special privilege to special interest groups. This has been a detriment to society. Its time that an level playing field be established. We need people to be given a budget and use that budget to get the most votes. This would stop all contributions to individual parties. No free or special interest groups buying advertisement time. Individual or special interest groups can go door to door to advertise their candidate, but no group will hire people to do this.

We need this in our state now. There are too many people suffering.

Electoral College Votes

With the economy in massive decline and non-violent "offenders" being incarcerated for simply wanting to quell their depression, anxiety, nausea, insomnia, joint/muscle pain, or just wanting to relax after a long 9-5, this simple reform can help turn not only this state, but the whole country around and help it to prosper like never before for decades, even centuries to come. By signing this petition can help put this country back in the lead in terms of energy innovation as well as putting our dollar back on top and put our money back into the system to finally pay off our debts and put our economy back in the the green and keep us there. No more will we have to wage war for other countries' fuels or outsource our jobs and our people to ultimately have our country be lost to another country because we owe them that much. Sign this petition and stop these beautiful United States from becoming known as "New China".

It helped the US win WWII ! and others. Industrial Hemp would cut down the crime rate of Marijuana dealers. Lot's of money to the government!

TRYING TO CHANGE HOW ELECTORAL VOTES ARE WON

There are many issues confronting our State. But none can reasonable dealt without a sound without fiscal base.

Every congress member should be held accountable to all the people of the United States for doing the job they were elected to.Their job description should high light representing the people not corporations with under the table money.This should include doing the tasks at hand and stopping the additions to any legislation that don't represent that topic.The federal penalty should be dismissal,fines,and prison time commensurate with action.
