With our voracious appetite for news, I believe we're encouraging these mass killers to one-up each other by publishing their names and backgrounds, thus allowing them to become infamous.

Last night at a Christmas concert in my church we began with prayers for the shooting in Connecticut. I could hear others crying as was I when the priest said the names of the children and teachers who died and then the name of the shooter. The traditional readings and songs, with imagery of innocent babies, the coming of the Prince of Peace and the words, "Comfort, Comfort Ye My People" carried a whole new meaning. I thought, let's seize this moment to try and end gun violence.

The reason I created this petition is to help stop Westboro Baptist "Church's" hate mongering.

The signatures on this petition represent a collective demand for a bipartisan discussion resulting in a set of laws that regulates (as the 2nd Amendment requires) how a citizen obtains a gun

I just read the quote popularly attributed to Morgan Freeman regarding all these senseless shootings. Whoever said this -- Morgan Freeman or someone else -- may very well be on to something. How about if the media stops reporting the identity of these terrorists? No names, no photos, nothing. It would be a very interesting experiment. And, really, does any of us even care about knowing these disturbed individuals' names or seeing their photos? Would it leave a void in your life to NOT have that information? Does hearing their names or seeing their photos enrich your life in any way? I don't want any more innocent people -- especially children! -- terrorized, injured, and murdered at the hands of someone who will do anything to go down in infamy as a household name.

After all the shooting schools have been through during these last years & especially the most recent school of Sandy Hook Elementary School it is a desperate need to be able to cover all of our children by allowing prayer back in our schools!

An admitted gang child rapist, Vic Sotto, is the pitchman for P&G products in the Philippines. He and two other adult males raped a young Filipino-American girl and then to avoid the death penalty, simply admitted the rape. They were never prosecuted but the victim committed suicide several years later. Since the gang rape all three men involved, but especially Vic Sotto, have gone on to great wealth and fame in the Philippines. That is why P&G Philippines is using Sotto to sell their products here. But P&G is an American company, and it is they whom I want to petition to stop using this horrible child rapist to make money for them. The Philippines is a racist, sexist country where such men as Sotto are revered. But NOT in the U.S.

John Boehner has lied and manipulated the public by not working in our best interest with job creation and tax reform on the richest Americans. He has blocked productive legislation at every turn, ignoring the will of the people who have spoken in the last election. Gun laws are bought by the NRA and John Boehner and the "Tea Party" ignore the consequences...of the toxic mix created by untreated Mental Illness...due to lack of health care and the billion dollar loosely regulated sales of guns.... We need more competent politicians...from the top down....

The violence we are seeing on our streets and our schools has got to STOP. We need to teach the Biblical foundation of morality so people grow up to value human life.
