Martin was a juvenile that suffered a violent death by a neighborhood vigilante.

We support preschool for All children.

SB 2193 would overturn every gun regulation that home rule communities already have in statute, including Cook County’s Assault Weapons Ban, Calumet Park, Chicago, Cicero and Highland Parks reporting of lost or stolen ordinances, the Chicago responsible Gun Owners Ordinance.

The continuous ear piercing noise from fire engines, police sirens and ambulances has truly intefered with the quality of life both on the streets and inside our homes. While these services are obviously extremely important, I believe that an alternative can be found or an app can be made to replace this non-stop noise pollution that negatively impacts everyone, including pets, children, newborns, cyclists, drivers and those of us at home (with our windows closed, nonetheless!) The sound is so constant, so ridiculously loud and high pitched, that it can be heard on upper floors and during all hours of the night and day. Some avenues, such as Sixth and Seventh Avenues, seem to have sirens piercing eardrums every five minutes. No one is exempt.

It's time that the Senators care about the rights of the world's billion persons with disabilities and move the CRPD on to the Senate floor for a vote. Give the United States a seat at the table when promoting and protecting the equal rights of persons with disabilities worldwide.

Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius) is a Class B weed and displaces native and beneficial plants, causing loss of grassland and open forest. It aggressively spreads, replacing desirable forage grasses and young trees. Seeds are toxic to livestock and horses. For more info go to http://www.nwcb.wa.gov/detail.asp?weed=44#photos.

We as Americans all must be concerned and have the right to know if our politicians are mentally stable. Based on the last few years regarding the inability of our government to actually govern and some of the outrageous statements made by government officials.

Now that 38 Studios is gone and can't pay its debts, politicians want to stick Rhode Islanders with the bill for the $75 million that was borrowed from Wall Street. It was never Rhode Island's debt, but politicians say they're about to act to make the taxpayers pay it. This is a bailout for a shady deal gone bad, and Wall Street doesn't even need our money. http://www.occupyprovidence.com/2013/06/were-better-off-not-bailing-out-38-studios/

Thousands of people locals and visitors alike visit this landmark for various reasons. We see a scatter of permanent structures all over the place! Overcrowded childrens playgrounds and walking paths. Wasted beach land that could be put to better use. Better maintenance in our beach pavilions.

Please do not allow Big Oil to "frack" for oil in California. It is too harmful to water supplies and the health of our residents.

Ban All Fracking in California

We don't want our children to be displaced from their community school and we want them to have access to the resources in their building such as the cafeteria, gymnasium, library, auditorium, and the pool! Also, PS 125 should be allowed to expand its enrollment to service the community especially when there are waiting lists of parents that want to enroll their children specifically in our school. Our children are being subjected to "separate and unequal" educational experiences and in the year of 2013 that should not happen!
