Governor Sam Brownback and republicans in the Kansas legislature are seeking to put an end to all unions in Kansas. HB 2023 and SB 31 are a direct attempt at silencing the hard working men and women of Kansas. As the Kansas Chamber of Commerce lobbyist, Eric Stafford freely admitted in committee "I need these bills to pass so that we can get rid of public sector unions", it's time to put an end to the war on Kansas workers.

The new NC legislature is examining the possibility of raising the sales tax to 8% in these economic times. They are using the surface appeal of no income tax to accomplish this. (Even Tennessee is considering reinstating their income tax.) This idea would only add to the burdens of the elderly, disabled, poor, and the middle class! How long would it be before the sales tax would need to be raised to 10%?

The Veteran Administration claims backlog is unacceptable and effects all Veterans from all services and their families. The backlog needs to be reduced in about every Regional Office in this Country. VETERANS deserve the benefits they were PROMISED.

It is awful to see the amount of human poundage that these mules must pull in the New Orleans heat

The Democrat citizen voices in the state are not even recognized with respect to such laws governing gun control, healthcare, and abortion due to the tyrannical control of the Republican party.

In 2006, my son shot his stepfather in the head, then shot his mother twice in the heart, then shot himself five days later, placing the barrel of the collapsible AK 47 between his lips after returning to my home where he had grown up. As well as the human deaths and trauma to the community, it cost tax payers of New Mexico enormous sums of money for the manhunt that ensued with SWAT teams, packs of dogs and helicopters after the initial killings took place. America has the highest rate of gun related deaths per capita of any industrialized country in the modern world. The frequency of mass killings in our country has been increasing dramatically, often involving assault weapons. Of the 30,470 firearm-related deaths in the United States in 2010, 19,392 (63.6%) were suicide deaths, and 11,078 (36.4%) homicide deaths. (National Center for Health Statistics, CDC. 2010)

Our kids have been blocked from praying in school for decades yet the argument of separation of church and state should no longer be tolerated if we consider our president is sworn in on a bible.himself. It is just as wrong not to allow children the option to pray as it is to force those who don't wish to pray to do so. Stand wit us as we reverse this injustice and again FreeKids2Pray.....

To restore true democracy in the United States by pressuring our State Representatives to pass a much needed 28th Amendment to our Constitution which would end corporate personhood and publicly finance all elections in our country. There are only 2 ways to amend the Constitution. (1) Go through our federal government (2) Go through our State Legislators via a Constitutional Convention.

Allowing dog owners to keep their pet on a chain for life is condoning animal abuse. Time limits, weather condition parameters, and more spacific adequate shelter laws need to be put in place in order to prevent this abuse. Wyoming's abuse laws are lacking and are the worst in the nation. There are several states which already have these laws in place and Wyoming abuse laws need to be updated.

Richard (Smiley) Shute is a special needs adult and has bad separation anxiety when he is away from his mother, who is also handicapped and in a wheelchair. He does not deserve this and his mother doesn't either.

I want to permanently stop Daylight Saving Time in California. And I want it to stop this year (have 2012 have been the last year of having it).

Gun control is very important, I feel insecure for kids in schools, we need prayer back in schools. We need work to improve the economy.
