Horses are a beautiful part of US history. They pulled our plows, carried our soldiers to battle, thrilled us with amazing feats of strength and agility. These magnificent animals deserve better than to be hauled on trailer trucks to be slaughtered in horrendous inhumane ways. We need support for the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act.

The discussion about cutting both Social Security and Medicare is entirely out of line when it comes to balancing the budget. Reducing military spending and eliminating corporate loopholes for evading taxes are much more viable options.

I know personally at least FIFTY people who driving without DL, they have to!!!, we all do, please follow Illinois legislature and change the rules.

without mandates for State ID cards to be able to Vote. In the recent past elections Thousands of voters were disenfranchised due to lack of drivers licenses and many other corrupt and disfunctional processes mandated by various regional elections chairmans, partial to only one Party.Seniors who don't drive anymore and College Students who don't own cars, don't have driver's licenses/ID cards.

Ohio is listed as close to California in rate hikes in double digits. My wife and, seniors in stable health, were hit with hikes of 18 and 16%. The Ohio Dept of Insurance should have the clout to hold such increases to single digits (New York State does--no more than 10%) especially as health care costs for 2013 are projected at 7.5%.

Mr. Jones, On behalf of Cowboy fans around the world, we would like for you to seriously consider the indefinite termination of Tony Romo as a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. Though Tony Romo is a great quaterback at times, he continues to be a liability to the Cowboys when it comes to making the playoffs, and even more so when it comes to winning in the playoffs. The Cowboys have had great receiving corps throughout Tony Romo's career with the Dallas Cowboys. It's time to find a quarterback who wants to throw them touchdown passes, rather than the defenders that he seems to find more often than not. His unreliability has let his teammates down, as well as Dallas Cowboy fans. We (The Cowboys Fans) pay your $100 parking fees to come watch America's team play great football, not to watch Tony Romo blow games.

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?
