Help pass Rep. Miguel Garcia's HB 77, The Firearm Transfer Act, which prohibits certain persons from owning guns and will require background checks on all firearms sold privately and at gun shows in NM.

There needs to be more input from the public on developing a comprehensive plan. This 10-point plan is a work-in-progress, with input coming in from the public through the Transition Express Campaign, initially designed from research done on educated minds focused on climate solutions.

The violence in Syria has reached levels that no decent human should tolerate.

Sales taxes going up in Louisiana as proposed

Mental Health is a hot topic right now due to the recent news. I have personally experienced the lack of support in our local school system for this topic. They offer the help, plan the IEP's, but do not follow thru. AT ALL. I understand they don't have the financial backing to support this problem...Let's get financial backing! Public funding and private funding for all grade levels.

My petition is about three prominent issues: Gun Control for each citizen who has possession of any armed weapons (guns or otherwise) in this community (Especially citizens who are violent prone). Secondly an individual charged with cases (They are/have served a sentence) but they did not commit should in some way be compensated and their name publicly and physically (on paper) cleared. The third issue is "The Fair Sentencing Act", in which people of color should have equal consideration as other White counterparts have in these cases. The forth issue is that marijuana should never be legalized in the state of Maryland even for cancer patients because that are less threatening things to use to treat cancer. Finally, those persons involved in re-entering into the community should have the proper mandated training and skills to re enter into the community for lower recidivism rates.

Return the State to previous voting hours.

This petition is to have what is and is not considered self defense re-evaluated. My daughter ended up in a fight trying to stop four kids from bullying her. She was assaulted to the point of having several marks left on her face, neck, ears, as well as some of her hair ripped out. But I was told by officers that because she turned around and began yelling at the kids, who were yelling profanity at her and calling her dirty names, that she was considered part of the fight, and if I pressed charges, that charges would be pressed against her as well. One of the kids also video taped some of the fight on their cell phone, but the only thing it showed was my daughter holding the girl down (which she admitted to) trying to keep the girl from hitting her anymore. The child who video taped this was only made to delete the video, throwing it out as what I feel could have been used as evidence.

HEALTH CARE AND OUTSOURCING LOTTERY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY

We the people urge you to respect the Second Amendment of the United States of America and to stop trying to erode it little by little with a law here and there. Leave it alone. I feel that the Second Amendment has been weakened too much as it is and would like to see it strengthened by having any law to do with any firearm, sidearm, shotgun, machine gun or future weapon to supersede these weapons be repealed and made illegal to restrict now and in the future. There is no need for gun control any longer. It has proven to be ineffective and harmful to children. How many more people have to die before we realize that the Second Amendment could have saved us if we were only allow to exercise it. I am not asking you to repeal it or to touch the second amendment in any way. Its well written as is and speaks well for itself and its intentions are clear. I am asking you to recognize it for what it and protect it from threats to it foreign and domestic. Just like you said when you took the oath of office.

Everyone in this country is affected.
