I am proposing a 50 million Mom march on February 14th with two clear requests of law makers. Fund comprehensive community based mental health services and ban assault weapons and amo.... How about flooding Congress with 50 million Valentines with these requests? Makes sense to me!

Petition the Federal Government to make a plan to stop the Global Epidemic of violence. Create a plan to stop the massive gun violence, illegal gun trade, & protect those who become victims of domestic violence, rape & abuse. End the gun show loophole, make background checks mandatory for all gun sales including private sales. Develop a national database to track sale of guns, gun parts, and ammunition. Also pass the violence against women act and make it easier for people to receive mental health help. This is a Global Movement to stop the Violence. Who's in? http://resistviolence.com

education and facilitation of secure storage for gun owners by publishing secure storage advice and encouraging reduced pricing of gun-safes. just one of many possible actions hoping to reduce gun violence.

Protecting our unions is a high priority, as they've helped grow the middle class and our nation's economy. The president should nominate Paul Krugman as the new Secretary of Labor, as he will be on the side of the workers. By ensuring that necessary benefits such as Social Security and Medicare are protected and that American workers are secure in their jobs, Secretary Krugman will ensure that unions will not be undermined by corporate interests and "right to work laws."

An initiative to install gunshot sensors around public schools would take them off the list of easy targets for criminals and provide instant police notification in future crises, all without intimidating our children, arming our teachers, or infringing anyone's protected rights.

Now that the NRA and these gun (nuts) advocates have tried to get Piers Morgan deported, for his sensible stand on gun control! Your stand and your coverage of these mass shootings has been excellent! Having Mark Kelly and Gabby Gifford on has been wonderful at informing the public!! Thank you Piers and CNN !

I hope this story will inspire you to join me in urging the House of Representatives to pass the Violence Against Women Act: In 1983, I was a victim of rape at gunpoint. My rapist had already raped four women in my community, I was his fifth victim. He has never been captured. At the time, I was a single mother of a five-year old daughter and attending a local community college. The Violence Against Women Act initially strengthened federal penalties for repeat sex offenders, mandated that women don't have to pay for their own rape exams, and helped communities develop law enforcement units dedicated to violence against women. This Act has been allowed to expire, which is totally unacceptable. GOP members of the House need to stop blocking its re-authorization immediately!

Fraudulent lawsuits are a $5 billion industry and it continues to grow. One in 11 people will be sued in the next 12 months.

Congress taking serious action on condemning violence against Women by enforcing stiffer penalties for rape & Domestic Violence.

Against Women Act is a direly need piece of legislation, that should have never been allowed to expire. We need this bill passed – and more so – passed to include protection and services for ANY woman in danger of violence on US soil.
