If you love your country, think about the people who are being killed with guns. Gun and firearm control is good for the people and the country. Those who manufacture firearms can do some other business to survive.

The Farm Bill is the most important piece of legislation for rural America. But its future could hinge on a key meeting in early February between two adversaries: House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Collin Peterson (D-MN). The Farm Bill funds critical programs that create rural jobs and revitalize rural communities. Yet some Republicans support using the bill to slash investments in the future of small towns and family farms. They even aim to cut the Conservation Stewardship Program, which prevents farmers and ranchers from being able to improve soil and water conservation. This has gone too far. Tell Congressman Boehner and Congressman Peterson to protect the environment and support small towns and family farms in this year’s Farm Bill.

We have no deductions to take on our taxes because our kids have moved out and started their lives. We have no breaks. It is an issue. It costs as much for electricity, water, rent, house payment, car payment, car insurance, home insurance, food, gas to get to work, as it does anyone. After no deductions to take in this economy with lesser paying jobs there needs to be a tax break. And needs to be a change in FAFSA on income guidelines.

There are many issues that would become moot if the question of body ownership was settled. End-of-life, birth control, and right-to-life conflict would be resolved with decisions being made by those directly involved at the family level, rather than by others whose belief system may not be our own.

The NRA just came out with their "enemy list" where they name the organizations and people who do not subscribe to their views. We need to let the NRA know that their fear tactics and policies are out of line with what the majority of Americans believe. Gun-control advocates are not out to take away all your guns, but we are trying to put in place common sense measures that will keep us all safer. If the NRA wants to 'demonize' people as enemies for opposing their views, put me on your list NRA!

My working family members need preventative health care. Insurance companies have set the deductibles so high that we cannot afford preventative care or life saving surgery. We do not qualify for the free clinic services because we are UNDERinsured and not UNinsured. None of my working family members are old enough for Medicare. We need to put a cap on the dollar amount that health insurance companies can ask for annual deductibles when it comes to preventative care and life saving surgery.

no but with every thing that is happening at the school i think every one should be affected by the issue

The LGBT community in Hawaii deserve's equality in deciding the issue of marriage, Civil Unions are not enough.

My home has lost 30% of it's pre bank caused housing bubble value. I am a virtual prisoner under house arrest. I cannot sell my house and pay off the bank loan at the same time. Banks working on behalf of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and other investors will not use forbearance to help me rebuild that equity. Servicers will simply delay, delay , and delay some more before they simply say no any help of any kind. But if are unlucky enough to fall behind on your payments, they will swarm on you and race to foreclose on your home.

The dead and wounded of our nation require us to stop our current thinking and actions and eliminate guns from our society. We do not need guns, and they hurt us.

We need to convince Governor Cuomo to keep the gas companies out of New York because fracking will ruin our water supply as it has done in Pennsylvania. My friends in rural Pennsylvania can't run their taps at all. New York should stand strong against the gas companies and protect our most valuable resource: clean water for every citizen of this state.

Universal Movement of Consciousness by Edson Udson (all rights reserved) A great movement for peace, love and freedom around of the world, but to obtain results and do solve problems as poverty, abuses and violence is necessary "union" and "good will" translated in a simple word..."love".
