Many have died or been seriously injured from guns with no locks in homes through out America. Guns left in closets or hidden in places for children and even new owners of homes to discover. All GUNS will still be around in 300 years in someone else's hands. Long after the gun owner dies for any reason. Ensure the safety of the future to protect lives and prevent guns from getting into the wrong hands even in the home by a child.

I'm writing to aks Congress (yes Congress themselves and the Senate along with the President) to cone together and change the way they recieve compensation for their work as elected officials. Instead of having them recieve payment that is unaffected during tough economic times they should ammend the way they recieve payment based on whether the economy is doing well or not. If the economy is in the slumps, then their pay gets cut in half until the economy shows signs of improvement. And won't return to its full ammount until the economy and job situation has reached the level it was at before it was considered bad. A simple ammendment to help in these difficult times.

There is an annual limit on the interest on college loans you are allowed to declare on your tax returns (based on income). I personally pay a college loan balance of over $90,000 for a loan taken for my son a number of years ago. The interest on this balance is approximately $6500 a year of which I can only declare about $2500. I am recommending that the IRS increase the allowable interest that can be deducted each year for seniors age 65 and over paying for college loans to provide some cash-flow relief given many at this point have fixed incomes. My son is not in a position to assume or provide loan support.

Revising the Second Amendment

PA DEP TO APPROVE ANOTHER SHALE GAS POWER PLANT We're calling on you to ensure that the Berks Hollow Power Plant does not proceed before we get the public hearing we deserve. PA DEP is about to issue an air quality permit for a huge source of air pollution in Berks County - a natural gas power plant. This plant will emit many tons of volatile organic compounds and other harmful pollutants as well as methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Air pollutants from the plant and the station harm the health of nearby residents, create smog, and accelerate climate change. Pennsylvania continues to approve permits for large natural gas facilities at an alarming rate.

This petition is to put the heat on the mean and cruel Republicans in the State Legislature who have voted to NOT accept Federal Medicaid Assistance.

It Is A National Disgrace The USA has more people in Prison than any other country and it costs over $1 Trillion per year. We are all affected by this disaster. We should ask both the States and Congress to reduce prison populations by half over the next five years. Spend the savings on Education.

Only our soldiers, their family and friends have sacrificed for these wars! It is UNPATRIOTIC to not fund these 2 long expensive wars ... even if like me, one is against them. *** In 1950 and 1951 Congress increased taxes by close to 4% of GDP to pay for the Korean War, even though the high World War II tax rates were still largely in effect. In 1968, a 10% surtax was imposed to pay for the Vietnam War, which raised revenue by about 1% of GDP.***

Congress will vote on a proposed change to how social security benefits are calculated. Using chained CPI instead of CPI-W will reduce benefits to current and future retirees. Even Paul Ryan has said this will have a very small impact on deficit reduction; however, the impact will be far greater on individual retirees who are dependent on social security. One Republican congressman called it, "a shocking attack on seniors." Contact your senators and don't let this travesty happen.

Many Alzheimer's and Dementia Facilities use a Bracelet that sounds an alarm when a wandering patient walks outside. However the Bracelet does not have a GPS tracking device, and if the staff is unable to, or does not act on the alarm immediately, the patient may be at serious risk. My Mother-in-law who had dementia walked out of a Alzheimer's facility and although an alarm was tripped the staff was not aware of her missing for at least an hour. Despite a massive search including the family, staff, city, county, and State police she was found dead of hypothermia many hours later. She could have been found immediately with a GPS tracking device!
