Illegal weapons so readily available to urban kids to kill each other. The cavalier attitude in which we accept these tragedies is shameful. How no one seems to really care. Certain individuals get upset briefly and then things are back to normal. My son was murdered last year. If the laws would change to at least 20 years if you are caught with an illegal weapon ( no deals or negotiations) the climate of this violence would change. They would seriously take a look at picking up a weapon knowing what could happen. I know the IRA would block this every way they could. Does no one have the guts to stand up to them.

As a first step in election finance reform, we need to ensure that our elected representatives actually represent the people that elect them. Therefore, any financial support should only come from people who can vote in the election for the office the person is running for.

In the name of religion, the Boko Haram group in Nigeria have been carrying out incessant bombings of churches every sunday. Now it is bombing graduates engaged in national service. I have lost 15 friends and 6 relatives who live in the north to bomb blasts by this group.

Nancy Grace has badgered and bullied enough people she is the cause of at least 3 women committing suicide after her national bullying including a very close friend of mine (Toni Medrano). Nancy Grace is absolutely nothing more than entertainment because her thoughts and opinions hold no merit regarding the judicial system and peoples real lives should not be used as a form of entertainment without their consent. Because of her we now have 6 more innocent children without a mother, a mother without a daughter, sisters n brothers missing their sibling and a husband without a wife to help raise their children.. Not to mention all the family & friends who have not yet even had time to completely grieve the lost of Toni's son Adrian. Please help put a stop to this!! BULLYING is BULLYING regardless of who does it... It’s wrong... All it takes is a few seconds and a signature... Help make a difference!

I mean seriously, why is he such a dick?

At a recent town hall, Congressman Joe Walsh said of my military service, "Now I’m running against a woman who, my God, that’s all she talks about. Our true heroes, it’s the last thing in the world they talk about." Now, I don't care what Joe Walsh says about me. I do care though what he says about our nation’s 23 million Veterans. They've served our country with honor and they deserve our respect. Moreover, at a time when so many of our brave service men and women are returning from war, it's irresponsible of Joe Walsh to try to silence Veterans by insinuating that you’re not a hero if you talk about your service to our country. Whether they're seeking civilian employment or struggling with PTSD, our Veterans need to know that it's OK to talk about their wartime experiences. Please join me in telling Joe Walsh that all of our Veterans are heroes and should be proud to talk about their military service. Tammy
