Since we cannot control the guns without causing NRA backlash to all the politicians who are controlled by them, maybe we can control the ammunition. Gun running in Pennsylvania is a real problem. Also in Delaware where the guns for the Colorado tragedy came from. My Pennsylvania state has become more like Alabama. Our governor is a really mean man who has cut most the funding for handicapped and under privileged people. If you could tie him to the Sandusky incident when he was Attorney General then we could impeach him out of office. PLEASE

Photo Radar has been imposed on Prescott Valley, Arizona residents and visitors since 2006. The photo radar is outsourced to an Australian company called Redflex Traffic Systems; a significant amount of money collected from photo-radar citations ends up being sent to this Australian company. Photo radar is a drain on the local economy, and an unfriendly message to local residents and visitors to our home town. Town officials state that photo radar improves safety. Yet many residents note erratic driving behavior of some drivers near photo radar installations: sudden speeding up or sudden slowing down, even placing hands in front of the face while driving near photo radar cameras to avoid identification. Is this safer? Could photo radar in fact be causing as many problems as it solves? In some cities and locations of Maricopa County around Phoenix, Arizona, photo radar has now been removed for a number of reasons. It is time for Prescott Valley to follow suit. Tell Prescott Valley's elected officials to end all photo radar and support the local economy rather than outsource local wealth to Australia.

The NRA's insistance that assault rifles must be legal.

FREE Mental Healthcare for all Americans; strict gun control laws because fewer guns mean fewer killings! Our Constitution needs to read according to this century when it speaks to guns.

Governors of Idaho, Montana, Alaska and Wyoming along with other Politicians are backing the killing of Wolves. Ranchers blame the Wolves for the loss of their Cattle.

I don't believe that the people behind the arena truly have the people or city's best interest at heart with their proposition to put yet another sports facility in the Sodo district. The decision that the people don't have a right to vote on whether or not to use public money for it really irks me when things like the seawall seem like lesser priorities that can be put at risk by a vote instead of the city saying "look this is critical, we need to use the money on this no matter what."

The death of a child is devastating to parents and siblings in its own right. For Murdoch owned tabloids to profit by using a cell phone message that gave parents in England false hope that their daughter was still alive is immoral. Let us not continue to support someone who falsely claimed ignorance of the fact that this was accepted corporate culture.

The current debate format doesn't allow for either candidate to fully explain the significance of their position. Under the current format the candidates only spend a few minutes at best on any particular topic. For those that are highly educated on the topic, this is usually plenty of time. But for those of us who might be some what ignorant about the subject, the current format only leads to more confusion, with each candidate trying give quick media soundbites. If each debate focused on one issue it would be harder for candidates to mislead and easier for citizens to make a truly educated vote.

Our Alaskan King Salmon spawing return has been on a steady decline for the last 25 years. STATEWIDE our State of Alaska Dept of Fishery Managers allowed this to happen. They have managed for this decline by managing for sockeye salmon returns and ignoring the by-catch of king salmon. To stop the failure, Alaska needs NEW managers on the Dept of Fish!

Mitt Romney must show his returns or drop out

These poor pigs are raised, crammed in, that's right crammed in gestation crates. They cannot move, turn around, must stand every minute of every day in these crates 24/7 and people like Stephen King and Dave Warner director of communications at NPPC think there's nothing wrong with that. After all, they're just pigs. Let's get this straight. There's nothing wrong with animal abuse and cruelty?

Higher electricity bills never come at a good time, but their impact will be felt even more than normal by Texas' most vulnerable families due to the Legislature's decision to defund an important program that serves Texas' low-income residents: the System Benefit Fund Low Income Discount Program. Known as LITE-UP Texas, the program provides for an electricity rate discount for qualifying low-income customers. Created in 1999 as part of the deregulation of the state's electricity market, it is funded through a monthly fee on everyone's utility bill. The program's goal has always been to assist the least fortunate Texans in braving the summer heat. As temperatures across the state soar, that mission is more critical than ever. Unfortunately, last session the Texas Legislature decided to cut almost $100 million from LITE-UP Texas' budget. What makes this situation even more untenable is that those in control chose to leave over $650 million unspent and sitting in the program in order to protect tax breaks for oil and gas companies. That's right: while Texas bakes, over $650 million that could have gone toward assisting Texans with their utility bills and energy efficiency upgrades sits unused and cannot be touched. Telling Texans their money will be used for one purpose but instead redirecting it to another without voter approval is dishonest governing, pure and simple. Our state deserves more from its budget than smoke-and-mirrors and diversions.
