Too many innocent people have died. Freedom without responsibility is nothing more than selfish indulgence. Responsible gun owners don't fear reasonable regulations.

When it comes to running Bridgeport's schools, Paul Vallas gets an F. Paul Vallas' brand of corporate school reform uses our schools to create profit, not educate. Vallas has laid off 50 teachers, cut supply budgets in half, and wants even steeper cuts, all while being paid more than $230,000 a year, and signing $13 million worth of no bid contracts with his friends and former colleagues. Vallas also spends much of his time consulting for other school districts and states, including an $18 million contract with the City of Indianapolis and a $1 million dollar contract with the Illinois state Department of Education. Paul Vallas has failed Bridgeport's schools. It is time for him to go.

There seem to be more vigilantism with the purchase of numerous guns for self-defense and current laws on self-defense are being distorted in the court room. People are shooting unarmed individuals off premise's, and even in the back and not going to jail for it. The reason for this, is the law is not being enforced during trials. It is a major problem, and will continue if something is not done.

The hidden discrimination against job seekers 50 years old and over. The concern is that the average retirement age is 70 and employers are not hiring enough workers 50 and over.

Focus on the Family has consistently and repeatedly attacked the civil rights of the LGBT community in Colorado. They should be considered a hate group and lose their tax free status.

Makes it a class C felony to manufacture, import, possess, purchase, sell, or transfer any assault weapon or large capacity magazine. The word here is "possess". It is unlawful for the government to take any property from us and make it a felony if we do not give up said item. A ban of new sales would be okay but the latter is preposterous.

The FDA is poised to approve genetically engineered salmon for human consumption. We only have until April 26th to tell them no! This salmon would be the first-ever genetically engineered animal to sneak onto our dinner plates -- and it likely won’t be labeled! Please urge the FDA to conduct a full Environmental Impact Statement that considers the dangers genetically engineered salmon would pose to wild salmon and ocean ecosystems.

I believe that minimum wage should be increased from7.25 to 9.00. Fmilies are not able support their household on such an insufficient income. Please please consider the increase!

The Carver Recreation Center was and always has been a venue for the black community of Charlottesville to rent for private dances, social affairs, parties, wedding receptions, etc. These events could start as early as 4:00 PM or as late as 10:00 PM. Carver is housed in the historic Jefferson School, which at one time as the only all Black school in Charlottesville. It has been renovated, a small part preserved, but many new things have been added. i.e., Clinic, daycare, roller skating, new gym, etc. In doing this the hours were changed, they are 6:00-12:00 midnight. We would like to see the hours put back to what they have always been, enable to continue to accomodate a community that has lost so much, and never to be able to regain it.

Steven Chester of San Jose was hospitalized for Hepitius - C for 8 months in the year{s} 2009 - 2010 at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center Hospital.While treated with Neosephrin he lost circulation in his extremities and became an unwitting amputee; feet and fingers. His attempts at his day in court have been denied. I am petitioning for Steven at the importunity of his sister, Deborah Fletcher.

Father's are increasingly being push out of children's live by mothers, with the help of family courts. The popular belief among most judges in the us family court system is that children are better off with mothers. Leaving most fathers to be treated like ATM machines. I am among the "dead beat father population" not by choice, but because I simply can not afford the amounts that my child support is set at. If you are serious about what you spoke of, when it comes to fathers in the USA, then you need to take a look at how fathers are being treated in the family cout system.

Sometimes, we elect statewide officials who have veered too far from their what they said in their campaign, who are incompetent, or have simply changed parties. We need to be able to recall elected offials at will after one year in office.
