Enacting common sense gun laws: banning manufacture and sale of assault weapons for civilian market, high capacity magazines, and supporting the President on his gun control agenda

All of us in Connecticut have been heartsick since the mass shooting last month in Newtown that left 20 little children dead along with six adults working at the school.

'Long lines at voting locations' make our State the laughing stock of our country and the world. Allowing rediculous amendments on the same ballot as candidates only expands the time in the voting booth. Reducing the budget for Election districts is another contributing factor.

The rate of Property Tax is over the 35% of your mortgage rate. It is an average of 75% in addition to my mortgage. Its like paying for a second home that I don't have. How can the Assesors office say one thing and the Board of Electors say something totally different when assessing my property. Something needs to be done before we have more Foreclosures. No one wants to talk about the other factor that creates the many foreclosures here in Chicago and its Suburbs....one of the other factors is the HIGH PROPERTY TAXES.

Every day people in this country die from gun violence, but few incidents make the news. After every mass shooting there is outrage, but no action. We need to act and we need to do it now!

Yes, I have. I lost family members, close friends and community members to gun violence! Enough is enough! As adults those responsible have allow the reckless mindset to overwhelm us, and most important, for ever hurt and inflict enternal pain! A lost is a lost and no words can explain or take its place! Children mean the world! They all represent life and the world we know. As a proud bronx father of 6 children they are my life and what I sacrifice and live for! I have the right to protect and direct their future! I love my family! Who doesn't?

our contribution to the planet and improve the lives of millions of children whose suffering all sorts of abuse and violence without prospects.

As citizens of Florida we should have the right to a safer alternative mind altering substance. Marijuana is safer than alcohol and tobacco and has no addictive characteristics.

I am a senior and I would benefit from the use of medicinal marijuana. It is legal just over the line from me in DC. I sincerely believe other folks in Maryland would be helped if it could be legalized.

we saw how many people were standing in lines that were way too long and our right to vote was trying to be taken away by the republicans ,thinking the people would give up and go home and not vote . instead it made them even more strong and all the money that was allowed the republicans to use to work over the voting system didn't work . the people will fight this playing with the electorial votes to fix the voting so the republicans can win ,because they are so unpopular thats the only way they can win . as our president stated this was an important issue as is the republicans trying to get rid of social security ,medicare and medicade . we paid for these as we worked so they aren't entitlements they were earned ,by our hard work . jobs ,schooling ,the rights of women are all being targeted with and it's time to stop playing games with our lives ,and instead of spending your time attacking the president ,instead do your real job and keep you hands off the vothing rights ,medicare ,medicade and social security . i feel STRONGLY if the congress isn't doing their jobs again for the next four years then why pay them . if i haden't done my job i wouldn't have been paid and would have been fired . i WILL vote against every republican if this game they are playing doesn't stop ,and your blaming everything on our president ,just because he is for the poor and disabled ,and the republicans don't have a heart like our president they are for themselves and the rich . leave us alone and stop blaming the president for what busch did to ruin this country . signed totally disgusted !!!!delores and david roxbury

My niece has a bone disease and is in dire need of health insurance.

It is not reasonable to expect that teachers can or should do what we normally send in a highly skilled Special Weapons And Tactics police unit to do. Encouraging or sanctioning teachers to act as combatants is a set up for disaster. Let the teachers teach, counsel, and help students grow up to be non-violent people and let the police do the job of protecting them and their students while they do that.
