Residents of Penney Retirement Community have been deeply saddened by the repeated incidents of gun violence that have targeted children. We recognize that proper mental health services are a necessary component of any proposed solution to stop shooters. We conducted a prayer vigil following the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, and we are anxious and determined to do everything we can with the help of like-minded citizens to prevent a similar act from occurring in Florida.

Some states have 3 day rules to report a rape. While this makes some sense think of how it affects the smallest victims - children. It may take more than three days to report a rape - the victim should be able to report the rape when they are ready - this limitation should be illegal. Also some states have limitations on the time period to convict a rapist - as this crime is one of the worst next to murder there should be no statutue of limitations on rape. A rapist should be convicted and a victim should have ample time to report the violation as it is a sensitive conviction. And if the rapist manages to hide from the law for 7 years this is not a reason to drop the conviction - there should be no statute of limitations for a rape conviction. Laws applying to rape cases - eliminating these restrictions to victims should be federal law so that the states cannot interfere with victims constitutional rights.

Not personally but personal enough that when you hear about children besides adults being murdered by an insane person with gun to want this to stop. If you hunt find 1 riffle show proof that you have the license to hunt. Personal I'm not sure of that because people are selling the guns to anyone just to have money in their pocket. Killings must stop and guns are the major weapon we need HELP!!

All women are and will be affected by the pro-life politicians wanting to restrict choices for women! I submit that pro-choice IS pro-life.

The State of Oklahoma is about to launch a new anti-abortion offensive at a significant cost to Oklahoma taxpayers despite the fact that these measures have been repeatedly struck down by the Courts. Instead of focusing on taking away a woman's basic right to decide her health issues for herself, I truly believe our tax dollars would be better spent ensuring that the state funds education AND accept the federal money offered to ensure the health of those that are already born.

The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment is a complete mess and inept. People cannot get through to customer service even after calling for hours and days. This problem has been completely ignored by the Executive Director, Ellen Golombek and Governor Hickenlooper.

Please increase funding levels for tested housing programs administered by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency

The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 allows for unpaid leave up to 12 weeks. An amendment could integrate this with the Affordable care act allowing for a choice between supporting one of two programs. If a business or religious institution opts out of providing birth control through their medical coverage they should provide full paid maternity leave.

A stance on the pro-life / pro-choice debates that frees our nation then to be devoted to issues that can more readily be solved like jobs and the economy. THIS IS PRO-LABOR LEGISLATION, think of it mechanically as like a flywheel governor on the free trade process to keep it from spinning out-of-control.

Cathrynn Brown sponsored a bill that attacks victims of sexual assault by threatening prison if they abort a fetus conceived through rape. Brown, a Carlsbad resident and a board member of the Carlsbad Right to Life organization, conceded her bill was poorly written. She said her intent was not to charge incest or rape victims with a felony if they terminate their pregnancy. "I missed this one," she said, explaining that when she reviewed the draft of HER bill, she missed the language problems that led to misinterpretation of her bill. An attorney, Brown said her practice is to edit a bill carefully before releasing it. This time, a drafting error occurred and she was not diligent enough so it got through, she said.

Women do not have the same rights as men in the Military. We should be able to get whatever position we want as long as we earn it just like men. It is unfair and there reasoning is because we are untrustworthy and can't cover the men. This should not be an opinion but a fact that women can be just as successful as men in the Military. I do not want to compare it to racism, but it is very similar! Women should have equal rights and gender bans in the Military should be non existent.

I believe this will change The United States in great ways and lead us all to a stronger Nation.
