I am a concerned citizen and mother whose is just beyond frustrated with the fact that guns have become more important than our children's lives!

This deal in my opinion is a power grab to overregulate the internet to its detriment, bypass the laws of sovereign nations, and crush the rights of individuals around the world. As an informed citizen, I feel that it is my duty to voice my opinion and state that this deal will be worse than NAFTA for the average citizen. I urge other citizens and members of Congress to vote No on this deal.

This is about getting what the descendants of slaves are owed. Every race, except Africans, have received and continue to receive reparations for what was wrongfully done to their ancestors.

Please Stand Up and Demand that the media STOP posting pictures and telling the stories of the sick gunmen that are terrorizing our country!! Talk about the event and tell the stories of the heros and victims instead! The Oregon gunman was quoted on the news for posts he put out about other shootings stating "A man once totally unknown is known by all" and "The more you kill, the more limelight you get" This was confirmed by our media by posting his picture over and over talking about where he lived, why he did it, etc... etc... They need to STOP giving these sickos what they want, a national forum for people to know their name!! WE NEED TO STAND UP AND DEMAND THIS!! The media is literally encouraging future acts of mass violence against other innocent people with all of their coverage on these sickos... THEY ARE ENCOURAGING IT!! PLEASE WE NEED TO ALL STAND UP AND DEMAND A CHANGE!! FOR ALL OF OUR SAKE!!!

In Michigan, most women are becoming the primary money makers at an increasing rate. With this in mind, we need to make it a priority to insure that women are not being discriminated against in the workplace. By supporting the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act you are holding company's accountable for discriminatory behaviors.

Having both a grand-daughter and a grandfather murdered by mentally unstable persons, I believe we need to enforce sensible restrictions on gun ownership in order to save lives.

My family's personal information has been stolen in more than one breach. How about yours? When there is a data breach, companies offer 1 year of identity theft protection. But, our social security numbers can be used years or decades from now. We need a system that replaces social security numbers for people whose have been stolen.

The last shooting in Oregon was the tipping point for me. I had to do something. We all have to do something.

Amazon.com’s online charitable donation program, AmazonSmiles, is funding nativist hate groups like Californians for Population Stabilization, a group that uses California’s devastating water drought to stir up anti-immigrant sentiment. Amazon.com claims that no 501C3 that promotes hate is eligible to use Amazon Smiles to raise money. Amazon also claims that they check with the Southern Poverty Law Center to make sure that none of the AmazonSmiles organizations are on their watch list. However, CAPS has been singled out by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nativist group masquerading as an environmental organization. It’s absolutely unacceptable that Amazon allows CAPs to use their “AmazonSmiles” online charitable donation program to raise money. Join us in telling Amazon to stop funding hate groups like Californians for Population Stabilization.

Protect the last of America's Native Wild Horses and Burros from being sent to slaughter in Mexico, Canada, and Japan.

As the oil and gas industry seeks to expand fracking on public lands across the country, including near our national parks and areas that provide critical drinking water for millions of Americans, now is the time to call on our elected officials to take a stand against dirty drilling. The Protect Our Public Lands Act would ban fracking on all federal lands, protecting our most special places from fracking's dangerous and destructive impacts.

Sandy Hook. Columbine. Red Lake, Minnesota. Essex, Vermont. Lancaster. Aurora. Virginia Tech. Umpqua. How many more innocent victims must die at the hands of an antiquated and oft-misinterpreted amendment? Enough. It's time to stop the violence. Gun control doesn't have to mean no guns. I'm not suggesting we take guns away. I'm suggesting we put tighter controls on acquiring and owning them. Gun show loopholes must be stopped. Ammunition should not be sold online. Mandatory wait periods should be enforced, during which time a thorough background check, psychological and medical evaluation, and character references should be completed. More accountability should be placed in the hands of retailers. When patrons refuse wait periods, authorities should be notified. Training and testing should be mandatory, as should a renewal process that includes many of the above-mentioned evaluation terms. Gun owners and non-gun owners need to come together and agree on regulations that protect the right to own a firearm for sane, responsible adults and keep them out of the hands of the mentally unstable. I would hope that we could all agree to submit ourselves to these terms when it's easier to go to a gun show and pick up a firearm than it is to go to the local pharmacy and buy cold medication. Acquiring and owning a gun should be at least as controlled as getting a learner's permit, license, and privilege to drive a car. Gun control alone is not the whole of the solution, but it's a start. And if it keeps guns out of the hands of even one mentally unstable person and saves one sweet life, it's worth it.
