Dear Mr. President, I strongly believe in the REPEAL of the second amendment, this country can not handle gun ownership like other civilized countrys and I say to the sportsmen who hunt to take up fishing; It is alot harder to be a mass murderer with a fishing pole than it is with a gun.....Sincerly...Joe Modero

The Wild Hare (formerly housed in Chicago's Wrigleyville neighborhood) is not only a great source of entertainment for an untapped audience, but a staple and tourist attraction for the city. Many became familiar with the Reggae nightclub bar & lounge by way of the movie Love Jones; others, because of its incredible live shows, friendly staff and peaceful atmosphere. The Wild Hare was/is one of the only homes for live Reggae concerts. The Wild Hare is running out of time, and without live performances, running out of money. Many Chicago residents were devastated when this staple first closed its doors and so happy to see them back. Now... we might loose them again... indefinitely.

I have come home after being on life support and it is difficult to get to the phone. I have received over 200 calls from a Sprint Collection Agency. I do NOT have Sprint and never have.

I'm being ripped-off by new insurance quotes from private insurance companies

Condoleezza Rice misled the public about Iraq's WMDs and over 4000 Americans died.

PETITION TO GOV. DEVAL PATRICK: We need someone who is "fired up and ready to go" -- especially in monetary policy and fisheries development. Barney Frank is that person. Please appoint him as our interim senator.

One of the Charlotte Airport Crew rooms (C) that had ample rest areas for flight crew is under construction. The other crew room that has now doubled in size (B) is less than half the size of (C), and has nowhere for us to rest other than a few upright uncomfortable chairs. Many flight crew have to commute to base as much as 12 hours before they begin their flying, and this includes pilots. Not having a proper rest area is unsafe for everyone, including our customers. We need an appropriate rest area!

Daily newspapers need to keep us informed about deaths by guns and if by accident or by intention. There was a time when data were given on the frontpages about car accidents for the year. It is time now to do similar reporting by box summaries, perhaps presenting different kinds of relevant data on different days at least once a week. There will be no need to advocate any policy. The data will advocate for saner gun policy. Individual and mass killings need data reviews. There is no need to argue how journalists should do the reviews. Many tacts can be taken to keep us aware of gun deaths in our country. The press needs to update in this area.

There is no place, no need, no positive outcome for assault-type weapons to be within, or accessible to, the general public. We have witnessed the bloodshed and horror that can come from this access to assault-type weapons. There is no good that can come from their access or use.

I am a user of the chat network IMVU, which recently implemented a restriction on links in the Pulse feed. This is a direct violation of freedom of expression and should be reconsidered.

Although the gun legislation proposed by President Obama would ban the sale of assault weapons, many people already own such weapons which could be used in criminal activities. The complete second amendment states "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." In the absence of a "well-regulated militia" the right to own any kind of "gun" is clearly questionable.
