At a moment when the entire nation is grieving the massacre in Uvalde, we demand meaningful safety measures that have proven they work in other states. Americans want common sense safety measures, and that includes many gun owners. Act now.

This is important because we need to provide children with useful knowledge that will be of use to them in life. We need to teach the subjects that will be of use to them in life. And help them earn a decent wage.

Grass-root efforts among everyday people are needed to break through the do-nothing roadblock of those who oppose gun control and elected officials at every level who refuse to pursue measures to control gun violence. Here is what I propose: "Take the Pledge! I will never again vote for a public office candidate--of any party--for any office--local, state, or federal--who does not go on the record--publicly--in support of gun control."

Think back to when you were 18, 19, even 21, did you have need for a automatic rifle? Or even a handgun? So, why would we sell guns to 18 year olds? With no training, little background info, and zero questioning, we let a child buy weapons that kill. Are you comfortable with this? Please help raise this ridiculous legal age limit to something other than 18.

Women’s periods shouldn’t be viewed as a luxury

This is beyond ridiculous that we see mass shooting on a regular basis!! It doesn’t have to be this way!!

Our children are the most precious thing on earth. We need to give them the protection they deserve.

Gun control bills, such as H.R.8 and H.R.1446 have passed in the House but stalled in the Senate. This is, in large part, due to the NRA investing millions of dollars to influence lawmakers. The NRA non-profit status allows them to increase profits for the gun industry, at the expense of all of our lives. The mounting evidence against them—in terms of how they handle their non-profit funds—only increases every year. The government works for the people, and the IRS can take action to protect the most vulnerable in our society by investigating the NRA for misappropriation of funds.

According to the GVA, the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 213 mass shootings in 2022 thus far. In 2021 there were 692, and in 2020: 610. The US gun industry is making record profits while there are record numbers of mass shootings every year. Their sales of these assault weapons is literally supporting domestic terrorism. Blood is on their hands and they must be stopped and held accountable. Our country is living with the terror of gun violence daily; the gun manufacturers have been better protected than our children! This must stop now.

Our children deserve it. Our nation needs it. We are tired crying and living in fear. We must act now to stop this massacre from happening again

Please help by signing this petition. We want to ensure that our unhoused citizens maintain their right to employment and resources essential for their survival and path to recovery. This petition will be presented to the Wausau City Council. By agreeing on the basic human rights of our unhoused, we can begin to work together to help.

There’s something deeply troubling when attack after attack on our schools, places of worship, and community institutions simply go on without any government response other than thoughts, prayers, and soundbites on cable tv. While there are differences of opinion on the NRA and the exact current day interpretation of the Second Amendment, we should all be able to agree that it’s inappropriate for the largest gun lobbying organization in the world to host a celebratory convention in the very same state as this week’s mass elementary school shooting. Tell the NRA and Houston First Corporation to cancel the convention.
