• New National Anthem-America the Beautiful
    Let us return to singing the praises of the LAND on which we live instead of glorifying the wreck of a battle with an Old English drinking song. Imagine stadiums of people singing a more easily sung song that envision our beautiful mountains, plains and the food produced from it all. Imagine school children picturing a country living and working in harmony. Imagine music soothing the angry beast that lies in many American's hearts today. Make it real, ask for this one, simple change

  • Hold Drug Companies Accountable
    While the media is publishing that guns are the reason for tragic violence the research piles up showing prescription drugs are tied to school shootings and other gun violence tragedies. Lawmakers will be more effective at stemming the tide of unpredictable gun violence if the correct cause is reported and the FDA and legislative bodies hold the pharmaceutical companies accountable. See examples of prescription drug gun violence at http://www.ssristories.com/index.php

  • Help Stop the Violence
    There is too much violence related to the violence our children are exposed to through various media outlets. After watching hours and hours of games and movies, where people are killed without regard to the hurt caused by the killings, our kids are placing themselves in the same situations and are using whatever means to act out the scenes played over and over in the media. We need to step up and show our children how life is not a game and how taking another's life causes pain for not only the deceased individual's family, but also causes pain for their family.

  • GUN DEATH DATABASE
    There is not and there should be a national database tracking system on the numbers of violent gun deaths and suicides in this country. Without knowing the actual numbers of gun deaths how can we assess the real situation? We need a permanent agency providing national totals for every previous day.

  • Have FOX News Removed from Cable TV
    FOX news has been spewing hatred, lies and deceit for many years. Recently, an Indiana man was convicted of arson for setting fire to a mosque in Ohio. The man specifically stated that he was motivated by media accounts, mostly from FOX news, and that he felt no remorse in setting the fire. If I am not mistaken, this is a hate crime, a hate crime driven by the poisonous and contagious lies and conventional "wisdom" supplied by this media outlet.

  • Republican Congressmen Need to Apologize
    As a current New York resident and former resident of Long Beach and Staten Island -- areas hard hit by Hurricane Sandy -- I believe that Republican members of the House of Representatives need to apologize today for putting their ideology and re-election ambitions ahead of their concern for the Americans who have recently suffered and continue to suffer from the recent storm. The refusal to vote on House Speaker Boehner's Plan B and to vote for $60 Billion for states affected by Hurricane Sandy is clear evidence where their priorities lay.
