I am a middle school teacher in a school that is unsecured. Our county and state has limited funds to make our schools safer. This is a plea to gun manufacturers to make guns safer.

We are all negatively affected by this corruption, except of course, the corrupters and the corruptees.....

Cooperation, Community, Participation, Shared Sacrifice, Broad life experience, all strengthen both the individual and the groups to which we belong. Citizens of the United States are part of a group to which we owe allegiance, duties, and responsibilities. Many of us have strengthened ourselves and our country by volunteering for such organizations as the military, the Peace Corps, VISTA, Doctors without Borders, World Vision, the Red Cross, local volunteer fire departments, etc. We would all benefit if such efforts were greatly expanded by offering volunteers appropriate benefits as living allowances, deferral/reduction of student loans, medical coverage, college credits towards professional licenses, social security credits, etc. The value of such benefits should be proportional to length and type of service. Such benefits and opportunities for service might be especially suitable for people near the beginning or end of their normal working career. Organizations for volunteer service need not be federally run, but would exchange federal support for some federal supervision in the same way that tax exempt charities must observe certain regulations.

We Fans - your audience - believe that the Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness part of the US Constitution should apply to the personal and private lives of Celebrities as well as to our own. A request for Hollywood Gossip Media publishers, editors, paparazzi and reporters to voluntarily upgrade their own industry standards to 21st Century Worldwide ethics.

Facebook has become a cultural norm for teenagers. Kids spend all of their free time on the computer instead of developing personal relationships, or other creative healthy pastimes; and it creates a footprint that could be damaging to them in the future in ways they cannot possibly understand (because we don;t know how all that info is even being used right now..).

President Obama, our government, and especially our banking system has done nothing to help the 15 million underwater homeowners in this country, who simply bought at the wrong time and have fallen victim to Wall Street's manipulation of housing and the financial system. Folks like me are pouring money into a house that won't have any value for a decade or more. Our only option is to strategically default and be foreclosed upon because the banks will not work with us. Please write down the principal of these homes so that we can stay in them and are motivated to take care of them and our community.

Stop the attacks on Social Security and Medicare.

All Americans have been affected. Special interests and political parties control a lot of the legislation in the U.S. because of political contributions.

It has been years since the Dept of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms has had a director, stifling its ability to do it's job. In these days of increasing gun violence, we need a governing body to address how to handle this. Please sign on!

We, the citizens of the world, recommend that President Obama work with the United Nations and other international Organizations to: 1.Make sure fundamental rights of all children on this planet regardless of race or creed are respected e.g. access to health services, food and education. 2.Work on and promote programs for a nuclear free world, addressing climate change and international peace.

For a long time, presidential elections have been decided by the electoral college, a group of people in each state which is "supposed" to vote for the people. However, we cannot trust the electoral college properly. While state electors are supposed to vote for what the people decide, they are not required to do so. Furthermore, it does not truly represent the people. This was evident in the 2000 presidential elections when George Bush defeated Al Gore not with the popular vote but with the consent of the electoral college. I propose that we change the system so that the preference of each state's candidate is decided by the people's votes only, not by these electors. The United States could easily increase government openness if it decided it's president by the popular vote. After all, we are not in the 18th century anymore where every decision is brought to Washington by horses. The presidential elections is a people election. The people should have the power to elect their leader, therefore I suggest we abolish the electoral college and decide election by the popular vote. In addition, we would still keep things like the electoral map as means to ease the process of keeping track to whose winning and whose losing.

Just a test to see what this is all about
