President Obama and ultra-liberal democrats have proposed gun violence reduction laws. The only law that should be passed is strict background checks on all firearms purchases. The notion of banning "assault rifles" and limiting clip capacity is a violation of our civil rights under the U.S. Constitution. Join me in being safe, but fair for law abiding citizens.

Gun violence is an intolerable and solvable problem in this country. We can protect our people and at the same time protect the 2nd Amendment by placing RFID chips in weapons. American Passports already utilize these chips.

American workers are tired of government changing social security retirement age because they raided the SS lockbox money for pet projects and pay backs to supporters.. Letting them retire at 50..and getting pensions after six years is nothing less than stealing...END THEIR DOUBLE DIPPING...CLEAN up the special priveleges in Washington ...make congress and government employees live, work, retire under the same rules we are given. Taxpayers should be voting on their wages, benefits and perks. End the lucrative budgets they our given ...spending $220,000 on a bathroom remodel for one congressional office is mismanagement of the taxpayer money. Making taxpayers pay someone $102,000 to walk the presidents dog is beyond ridiculous.

Protect the welfare of innocent children. Avoid senseless violence and needless deaths. As a pediatric emergency physician, I can no longer sit by and watch this discussion deteriorate into an argument about the second amendment to the US Constitution. We must amend the US constitution so that children's rights take priority over all existing legislation. Only then can we enact stronger, federal legislation protecting children from this epidemic of gun violence.

The republicans are trying to win elections with fewer votes than the democrats by changing the way ballots are counted in Pennsylvania. Shame on you. You should try to be on the side of the people instead. And you might think about getting ready of those crazy tea party people.

Possible voter suppression law in NC in 2013

We have seen many people are take the advantage from the US social security system. Too many people who or whose spouse never paid a single penny to the social security, but they are get big chuck of social security, plus food stamps, plus medicare, plus housing. No wonder our social security is broken. Social security and other benefits should be only paid to those who or whose spouse has contributed to this society.

To re examine a decision made that majority disagrees with

People should be concerned about the issue of homeless veterans and children. We need our legislators to amend H.R. 1560, Public Safety Second Amend Rights Protection act of 2013. Example: My father served in Korea and Vietnam War. My mother was pregnant during that time, and inheritance rights were denied, even though I was his only child and he was inducted and died while on active duty. Today, deceased veterans' children cannot qualify for VA housing eligibility. Our legislators still have not served this underserved population in spite of our trauma and the need for housing and care deserved. There are too many homeless veterans and children, many still in developmental stages. Death of a family member is traumatic, and vulnerable people need protection.

One of the brightest and most active young leaders of the internet generation, Aaron Swartz, took his life last week. He did so at least in part due to over-zealous prosecution of a violation of a Terms of Service breach; a violation that had already been resolved between Swartz and the institution that was affected. This sort of violation should be treated as any other civil breach of contract, rather than as a criminal offense.

child told cps lady she was touched by 9 yo step aunt.,then,i was told get exparte order. then, cps lady spoke to mother,who denied everything .they took child to foster care, then said im lying and coaching her and want to prosecute me!!

After all the school shootings that have taken place in our country all we do is look for a scape goat. When the real blame should be in ourselves as a nation. We have stepped away from God and the bible and taken away the very reason to act as a civilized peoples. Let's put the Ten Commandments back in our schools as well as singing the Pledge of Alegiance in the morning at every school. One nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all
