there have been horrific multiple shootings and we need to put. Stop to this by paying more attention to what is going on on the Internet

U.S. Veteran Patient Abuse At U.S. Veterans Hospital Fayetteville, Arkansas - Veterans Health Care System of the Ozarks

With the recent massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newton, Connecticut the NRA & some politicians have suggested that teachers be armed so they could shoot intruders with guns. As someone who choose teaching for my career, not police/guard I want no part of learning to use a gun for any purpose, therefore, I am vehemently against those who are calling on school districts to have teachers carry guns in school.

Innocent Iraqis and Americans were killed over lies about W.M.D. Bush and Cheney created lies of W.M. D. All Americans and Iraqis need justice

The sheer brutality of the incident has left me completely shaken. I hope it never happens to any girl. I am praying that the victim survives. It is deeply disturbing that an incident like this took place in a modern society. We have to reflect on where we are headed as a society.

On December 11, the Justice Department announced a settlement, or "deferred prosecution agreement," that it had reached with HSBC, a large global bank. It was implicated in over $800 million of money laundering for international drug cartels and $600 million in transactions that violated U.S. sanctions against Iran and other nations, HSBC has become the latest big bank to avoid prosecution.

NRA stop killing our children. We have to band those guns, out of the hands of those insane people and others. The time has come for Americans to stop the massacure

I live in Stockton, CA, site of the first big school shooting in 1989, when Patrick Purdy shot 35 children and teachers before killing himself. In all that time, we've done pretty much nothing to prevent the next one. As a result there have been dozens more, and now there's Sandy Hook. How many more dead kids can YOU handle?

The burgeoning prison system targets minorities and the poor.The California justice system has criminalized many aspects of poverty and warehouses people for profit based on their ability to find a crime as an excuse to warehouse them.I'm done with it.

Like teachers across the country, I take my commitment to my students' safety very seriously. That's why I was so disturbed when the Michigan legislature passed a bill that would allow concealed guns in places like schools and day care centers. The recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut drew more attention to this bill, but here in Detroit, we already know too well that our schools and communities need fewer guns, not more. Thankfully, Governor Snyder vetoed the bill after days of public disapproval. But this bill should never have gotten as far as it did. Ensuring that schools are safe spaces for students to learn should be a basic point of agreement for every education- and youth-focused group. Keeping weapons off campus is vital to those goals. But StudentsFirst, founded by Michelle Rhee, endorsed and supported 15 candidates who were eligible to vote on the bill. Of those 15 legislators, 14 of them voted in favor of the bill to allow concealed weapons on campus. When the Huffington Post reached out to StudentsFirst, they initially declined to oppose a bill that would have opened schools up to strangers with concealed weapons. They only said they opposed the bill after it was vetoed, and they haven’t made any promises to consider issues like student safety when making future endorsements. This is troubling, but Bill Cosby and Roland Martin, who sit on the national board for StudentsFirst, have both been outspoken leaders on the issue of gun control and public safety. I sincerely hope that they will make it clear that as long as they remain on the board, StudentsFirst should not endorse candidates that support allowing weapons in schools. Mr. Cosby and Mr. Martin have the power to make a real difference. Please join me in asking them to use their influence to help make our schools safer for our kids.

Ban the assault rifle to stop the senseless killing of our country's children, students, and citizens. Instead push for the hire of our nations unemployed veterans to stand guard at our schools. What better way for our true heroes to continue protect our lives each and everyday.

Let's do all we can to protect the school children of our state by having state troopers assigned to schools. The state cut funding for this program. It's our responsibility to do all we can to protect our children.
