This year we are celebrating the great American Singer and Song writer Woody Guthrie's 100th Anniversary. What better way to pay tribute to Woody than to sing This Land Is Your Land at the San Francisco Giants home games.

What we need from our nation’s leader is more than just a moment of silence -- we need a moment of courage. The horrific tragedy in Aurora should be the final wake up call to gun law reform. Enough is enough!!! Holmes legally purchased semi automatic weapons and ordered 6000 rounds of ammunition on the internet in a very short period of time. This is an outrage!

As we all have been affected and heartbroken by the Colorado massacre, in sign of love, care and memory of the victims lets stay away from the theaters a week from this horrible event. We need to have more security and feel safer the next time we do go to the movies. Pass it on.

Mitt Romney is the richest man to ever have a legitimate shot at becoming President. He refuses to release his tax returns, a precedent his own father set. Would you elect a President who doesn't invest the fortunes he made back into America? What's Mitt hiding?

Once again we are hearing about a LONE gunmen killing innocent people. This time it's a theatre in Colorado. The problem is not just this individual and itis not the film, the theatre or the movie-goers. The problem is that we continue to sell guns to unstable individuals who are usually described as loners with no friends. My proposal is that we require every prospective gun buyer to have a cosigner. The cosigner would have to show proper ID and, with their signature, state that they 1) are not a relative, 2) have known the gun-buyer at least one year, 3) trust the gun-buyer to be a rational individual free of any psychological problems, and 4) share the responsibility equally with the gun-buyer for any criminal activity perpetrated with this weapon. History shows that lone gunman are not upstanding citizens and members in good standing of their local gun club. For that reason, I belive this law would not be oppossed by organizations like the NRA. In fact, I would expect the NRA to endorse this petition because it would help keep guns out of the hands of psychotic individuals that give gun-owners a bad name.

Gun violence affects everyone. I doubt the founding fathers wanted US citizens to be armed and dangerous a la Rambo. We should not allow weapons in the hands of anyone, at anytime, for any reason. No questions asked. If USA is to excel it is because we can change policies and adapt. It should be a part of our Homeland Security.

Every day I am inundated by this dangerous, hate filled speech which I believe encourages violence. I am a big proponent of free speech, but some times enough is enough and I do not want this hate mongering going out into the world over we the peoples public airwaves. This speech has no public benefit.

Massive sulfide mining in northern Wisconsin

I went behind the scenes in this market/slaughterhouse (you can pick out your animal to be killed) and I was horrified. Workers poking crammed chickens in cages with a huge poker that looks like something you would use for a grill, no adequate food or water, and animals in bad shape. A rabbit with a broken leg and back that was left there to suffer, (I bought him and sadly he was in such bad shape that he had to be euthanized). It is illegal to sell injured animals yet they did for 20 dollars. Animals left in filth, goats petrified when you approach them, just a horrible atmosphere all around.

In the wake of the Aurora shootings, any politician who has received campaign donations from pro-gun groups should immediately return them. Or if they choose not to do so they should explain why they feel it is imperative to keep their donation.

After the shootings in Tucson, AZ in 2011 and Aurora, CO on July 20, 2012, we need to stand up to the NRA and pass the Fix Gun Checks Act, along with other legislation, to ensure that massacres like this do not happen in our country again.
