After so many people have lost their lives in the past weeks, it's time to take a stand and stop the people who are killing. The easiest way to do this is to outlaw guns for civilians. Don't let people get their hands on the weapons that have taken so many lives and caused so much grief.

It is the issue that underlies all others: money--particularly from corporations--is undermining our democracy. The Supreme Court, most infamously through the Citizens United ruling, has given corporations constitutional rights meant for individuals, leading to unlimited, anonymous spending on elections, and outsize corporate influence on government. "Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United," wrote President Obama. "Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight of the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change." January's inaugural address is an historic opportunity to galvanize support for an amendment--one that clearly states that We, the People of the United States of America move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.

The amendment that give U.S. citizens the right to bear arms in our Nation's constitution must be modified for the safety of innocent people. We had experienced an outbreak of senseless murders and mass murders throughout this country unprecedented within a decade , due to unstable and reckless people owning guns, rifles, and military type of weapons. These evil killings must stop!

The U.S. has the largest number of mass deaths by individual rogue murderers in the western world. It is morally unconscionable for this nation to allow these weapons of mass destruction, which have most recently taken the lives of 20 elementary school children and 7 teachers.

In our current political climate, the 2nd Amendment will not be repealed. However, the Supreme Court will likely not interfere if individual states apply licensing requirements similar to those required to operate a motor vehicle. Since individual states control gun licensing, I am asking my state to take up the matter, and institute a reasonable set of prerequisites for gun ownership.

In Collier County and Tampa, I have been involved with police, sheriffs, and state troopers who acted Illegally because they knew that the only thing that could stop them, audio and video taping, could not be done-- unless you want a felony and jail term. We reject the wish of the state legislature as a violation of the constitution, and sheriffs, state troopers and the police will be taped and "outed" for crime.

Second Amendment reevaluation!

If the Second Amendment falls, the remainder of the foundations of this Republic will fall with it. The Second Amendment, followed by the First Amendment, are the pillars of this great Nation.

My petition is to target our members of Congress to make some changes in the laws regarding three (3) items that are out of control, and they are the only one's who can change them. 1. Term limits: as most Congress members have made careers out of politics, they need to pass a law that imposes a two (2) four year limit on term as a Congress member. So as to eliminate the corruption that comes with career politics. 2. Campaign finance reform: I don't have the specifics, but campaign finance reform will eliminate big business and corporate America from buying career politicians. (See change 1 above). 3. Abolish Lobbying: Lobbying used to be called bribery and was illegal. Somehow the name was changed to lobbying, yet the crime is still being committed on a daily basis. We need to stop lobbying in Washington D.C.

It's about resurrecting our democracy from the obstructionists and getting our country back to the important issues that need firm, sane decisions.

It is time we included "Equality" in the American values that we teach our children by reciting the pledge.

Too many people being killed by crazy people
