At the Newtown Memorial Service you declared, for the death of twenty children and seven adults, “I’ll use whatever power this office holds…in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this.” Since you spoke those words, more than 50 fellow human beings have been murdered in Chicago alone, where last year’s gang-connected violence excelled 18 times the number in Newtown, where “since 2001 Chicago has recorded more than 5,000 gun-related deaths.”* “Tragedies!” Because we empathize with the suffering of others and value human life as do you, we believe you have the power and the courage to transform your words “enough is enough,” to l’chaim – for life!

I suffer from Post Herpetic Neuralgia, a condition where an over-active nerve in the left side of my face causes me moderate to severe pain on a daily basis. I tried medical marijuana the last time I was in California and was able to cut down my Oxycodone intake by half! However, there are folks in this state who suffer quite a bit more than I do and it is a crime that we have no legal access to a very helpful remedy!

This petition is to let our state legislators know that we oppose this new bill which restricts our individual rights.

On several occasions I have been in very close traffic calls where the other driver was texting while driving. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has experienced this.

Case in Newtown breaks heart of anyone. We need to make laws that will make accession to guns as hard as possible as I do not want gun to be easily accessible to people with psychological issues or people whose anger blinds their consciousness at the time of unstable situation. It is crucial for the whole nation to know that the one we love will not be victim of the gun violence in the country which is not in the war in its literal meaning.

Mandatory term limits on senate seats

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!

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.
