Although the gun legislation proposed by President Obama would ban the sale of assault weapons, many people already own such weapons which could be used in criminal activities. The complete second amendment states "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

I know that hydraulic fracturing in California has been ongoing for well over thirty years (30). The damage that this kind of method poses to the environment is clear.

This process is highly toxic to the water table, which is generally at 1000 feet while the shale deposits are generally at 8,000 feet. You do the math. The result of this kind process to our environment and water is irreversible. This kind of process must be stopped and not regulated. You cannot regulate this process its far too dangerous to trust the oil and gas companies to not contaminate the water and environment irretrievably. Please say NO to any hydraulic fracturing in California..

Virtually every other country in the world saves megabucks for public healthcare by allowing the government to negotiate drug prices. The U.S. does the same thing with Veterans Administration hospitals.
