Tighten the regulations of obtaining guns and assault weapons in AZ. We dont need another mass shooting!! No one needs to be packing assault weapons and clips that can shoot 100 rounds at a time!!

My mother emigrated from New Brunswick, Canada, to the US at 16 to help her parents and her 10 younger siblings. The US's Great Depression was starting to affect Canada, but her uncle had done well in the US as a barber and rental property owner. The new immigrants, and their children, many born in the US, are also helping their families and helping the US by taking the jobs even young Americans won't do.

There is a growing movement against the over-use of standardized tests, and teachers in Seattle are leading the fight. Teachers at Garfield High School in Seattle are refusing to administer a district-mandated test (called the MAP test) on grounds that the test doesn't provide useful feedback and eats up valuable classroom time. Instead, Seattle teachers want the MAP test dropped. The Garfield teachers wrote in a recent letter, "We are not troublemakers nor do we want to impede the high functioning of our school. We are professionals who care deeply about our students and cannot continue to participate in a practice that harms our school and our students." The MAP test is also riddled with scandal. It was adopted at a cost of millions of dollars to Seattle taxpayers amid a serious conflict of interest. Former SPS Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson, sat on the board of the company that produced the MAP test--the Northwest Evaluation Association--when the MAP test was adopted by the Seattle School District. A state auditor found this to be an ethics violation. Teachers have been told they must administer the test by February 22nd. If they refuse, the Superintendent of Schools Jose Banda has threatened them with a 10-day suspension. Join students, fellow teachers and parents in sending a strong message to these school officials to halt any disciplinary actions and immediately address the teachers' concerns.

Broadband access to the internet is not a luxury, it is needed for even simple tasks in today's world. The NC law that stops municipalities from building such networks needs to be repealed to foster innovation and lower costs while improving access to this important utility.

The Mindy Project is in danger of being cancelled. We need to show Fox how much we care about the show. How many shows these days have a strong and smart women as the main character?

Not personally but personal enough that when you hear about children besides adults being murdered by an insane person with gun to want this to stop. If you hunt find 1 riffle show proof that you have the license to hunt. Personal I'm not sure of that because people are selling the guns to anyone just to have money in their pocket. Killings must stop and guns are the major weapon we need HELP!!

Under the Affordable Care Act, states are eligible to receive new funding to expand their Medicaid programs. Montana lawmakers have not yet indicated if they will accept the funds to expand Medicaid in Montana. Tell Montana state legislators to accept federal Medicaid dollars and protect the 64,000 Montanans that would benefit.

NO CHEATING, FIGHT FAIR!!! some states governors are planing to rig future presidential elections, with their proposals Obama would have lost to Romney eventhough he won the electoral votes, the voice of the majority should still count.
