An employee's son was a witness to the Thurston High School, Springfield, Oregon shooting. This was among the first of an alarming string of school shootings. Little has been done to prevent such atrocities since. Please stop the killings.

As the friend of an aspiring photographer I have a problem with Instagram STEALING our pics and being able to use them as advertisements without any recognition and/or royalties being paid to the original picture taker. This is a huge problem. Here is my friends response and I am in complete agreement: "As an aspiring photographer, the use of Instagram and other social media networks are especially important when trying to promote my work. One of the best aspects of these portals, is that they are free and I know my photos will always have my name attached to them. The idea of Instagram being able to utilize my photography for advertising purposes, without the attachment of my name to the work, is outrageous--in my opinion. I believe that if such stipulations will be placed on the use of Instagram, the least they could do is give the original photographer some credit. While some users use Instagram solely for fun, I am someone that takes pride in what I post to showcase to my followers. I want to make sure that it is great work and they it is art that can be appreciated. Is this really too much to ask for?" We must demand that Instagram treats its users fairly, so please SignOn and let your frustrations be heard!

Everyone I know has sleep issues including myself. I think it's time to end this ridiculous practice of changing the clock twice a year. It results in discomfort for many and loss of productivity everywhere.

Currently, Senate Bill S-1789 was passed and sent to the House. Congress needs to: Refund $50 to $75 billion of overpayments back to the USPS and change the law so we stop requiring the USPS to prefund the Retiree Health Benefit. The USPS employs 550,000 people of which 25 percent are Veterans. Oppose Bill H.R 2309.

The members and head of this so-called "church" have no ministry degrees, but are all attorneys, with an agenda to harm the progress made in ths country toward civil liberties and equal rights. These individuals hide behind Free Speach to launch their hate-fueled agenda by picketing funerals of fallen soldiers, and victims of gun violence. This is not the purpose of ANY religion, so why do they have a tax exempt status and call themsleves a church when they clearly are a hate group? Please sign the pitition to Mr. Steven T. Miller, Acting Comissioner of the Internal Revenue Service in charge of exemption status and let these haters know we don't buy into their viewpoints. Make them pay for the hate they spread out of their own pockets and NOT be funded by the Government and our Taxes!

President Obama: Please posthumously award the Presidential Citizens Medal to Victoria Soto, who sacrificed her own life to save her students at the tragic Newtown, CT shooting. She made the ultimate sacrifice to save the lives of her young pupils.

The NRA spends untold sums of money to keep weapons of mass destruction, like the assault rifle used by Adam Lanza to kill twenty innocent children, on the streets. Now Republic politicians and others in the pocket of the NRA are belaboring their talking point that this is a mental health issue and has nothing to do with guns. I want to know how much money the NRA will donate to help remove the stigma of mental illness and provide funding for the professionals working on this issue

Most of the guns used in mass murder rampages, like the one that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School, were purchased legally. Dick's Sporting Goods, where Adam Lanza reportedly attempted to purchase a semi-automatic weapon last week, has suspended the sale of these weapons for an undefined period of time.

Losing home to illegal foreclosure. Disabled Vet and partner had lousy lawyer. And Mellon's attorneys filed illegal documents in Bankruptcy and Civil court. Evil Judge let foreclosure go through to Bank of New York Mellon who has no standing. No one cares, no one is listening. Foreclosures should stop now, stop kicking people out of their homes. We had no due process, so many illegal things happened during this whole process. Banks have the courts in their pockets. So angry at the system. We have no where to go, we can't get an apartment. More to the story...

We as a society need to seriuosly inhibit the access to, and the consumption of all existing tobacco products currently available to all minors.

Steve King has already admitted he is, "clueless on Benghazi," but that isn't stopping him from telling every media outlet that will listen that it is, "ten times worse than Watergate." We did not send King to congress to waste taxpayer dollars pushing an ideological agenda. Iowans need a farm bill, sensible gun control legislation, money for education, and health care. Steve King needs to make Iowans' needs his priority in Washington.

This is the time to have an honest and open discussion about gun control in America. Why shouldn't Fox News be part of that conversation? While Rupert Murdoch has personally come out in favor of restricting access to guns, New York Magazine and the Huffington Post have reported that producers at Fox News were given instructions not to talk about gun-control policy on air. Let's hold Fox News responsible and demand that they allow hosts and guests to discuss gun control on the air.
