As you may know, our city councillor, Steve Kozachik, has recently taken the position that gun shows, which sell guns without background checks, shouldn't be permitted on city owned property. Here's a quote: “Continuing to allow person-to-person gun sales without the requirement of any background checks is a clear threat to the health and safety of the community. If any place has a right to be sensitive about that, Tucson does,” Kozachik said. This is the kind of leadership we need more of, and we need to show our leaders that we support them!

PAY IDAHO FOOD SERVERS MINIMUM WAGE !!!

I am starting this position as a friend and family member of the LGBT community. I believe that two people in love should be treated equally and be able to get married to whomever they choose regardless of sexual orientation. Everyone should be treated equally, so let's move forward on this!

To propose to the State of Texas legislature on what "critical" issues of state that this surplus should be spent on. Exclusively, designated, nothing else but these needs. From seeing how our education system is basically suffering and last in the nation, I do not want my grandchildren to have to suffer from a State that only proposes cuts to education. To use monies for infrastructure repair across the state which will benefit all and will employ thousands of Texans. To use monies for our healthcare system, to help treat all Texans, including children, women and men. Lastly to use the rest of the remaining balance to refund each taxpayer "equally" of Texas which will be used to support businesses, bring more taxes into the coffers to use on further needs of the State and help families, taxpayers struggling, so they can pay off some bills so that they will have more money to spend in the State of Texas. I and all Texans will benefit from all of these proposals.

There is growing support across the nation for abolishing our archaic death penalty laws, replacing them with life without the possibility of parole. Delaware can be a leader in carrying the nation fully into dealing with dangerous criminals by more effective, cost-efficient means and eliminating capital punishment altogether. There are compelling reasons to do so based on economy, morality, practicality, and even theology.

I live in a small poor county and recently found out the city employees make a very large salary, more than the city can afford, and this needs to be looked at and questioned by the governor of the state this is going on it.

Mitch McConnell is an embarrassment to the state and its people. The petition calls for a vote to remove Mitch McConnell from the United States senate.

The contentious and vitriolic Republicans in the House of Representatives and Senate are crippling the democratic process.

Anyone a victim of commenting suicide voice needs to be heard against mental prioters who make someone feel like taking their life. Any perpretor that makes a suicide victim comment suicide should be accountalble by law to go to prison for making the person commit suicide.

The Senate Intelligence Committee has never held a public hearing on CIA drone strikes. There are basic facts about the policy the public needs to know to make an informed judgment. Is it true, as the New York Times has reported based on interviews with U.S. officials, that the CIA is counting every "military-age male" killed by a drone strikes as a "militant"? What does this mean for the claim that civilian casualties have been "rare"? If civilian casualties have not been "rare," the public needs to know that. A recent UNC study indicated that public support for military action depends as much on the risk of harm to innocent civilians as it does on the risk of harm to U.S. soldiers.

I am concerned that there are so many guns in our society that often times get in the hands of people who are not responsible. My son was killed 25 years go in Baltimore City, MD for no apparent reason other than someone thought they could. Many more have died in this city and across the nation since. Can't our gov't do something?
