Florida Professor who said Sandy Hook tragedy was nor real but was staged should be fired. How much more can these family take from heartless, stupid people.

education and facilitation of secure storage for gun owners by publishing secure storage advice and encouraging reduced pricing of gun-safes. just one of many possible actions hoping to reduce gun violence.

Whereas most young children enjoy music,moving and playing games, then the design of their curriculum could incorporate movement and games and music as strategies for child learning.

In the weeks following the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut, a number of advocates, including the National Rifle Association, have called for more armed guards or police officers in public schools. While school safety is our highest priority, past experiences have taught us that police in schools do not increase safety, nor do they catch early indicators of mental health needs, identify root and underlying causes of violence, or use the resources of law enforcement in an effective way. Instead of addressing serious threats to safety, police in schools often respond to minor student misbehavior by handcuffing, arresting and criminalizing the young people they were intended to protect. This results in lower academic performance, lower graduation rates and higher numbers of dropouts. Contact with the juvenile justice system can have long-lasting consequences for young people, following them when applying for college, the military or a job. As Vice President Joe Biden’s task force on gun violence develops policy recommendations in response to the attack in Newtown and gun violence more generally, now is the time to speak up. Sign this petition to tell the White House not to embrace proposals to put more armed guards and police in schools.

The 4TH District is without a Council Representative and being under Todd Gloria's leadership is only leading him to Congress. We want Todd Gloria to listen to the constituents of the 4TH District when we came in masses to City Council and ask them NOT to vote on major issues that affect our District without our own representative. We didn't want the Port Commission vote to take place along with 2 other City Council Members and Todd ruled to have the vote anyway. We want an open and fair Democratic process!

Protecting our unions is a high priority, as they've helped grow the middle class and our nation's economy. The president should nominate Paul Krugman as the new Secretary of Labor, as he will be on the side of the workers. By ensuring that necessary benefits such as Social Security and Medicare are protected and that American workers are secure in their jobs, Secretary Krugman will ensure that unions will not be undermined by corporate interests and "right to work laws."

According to the New York Times, America is in the grip of three emerging flu or flulike epidemics, and it's going to get worse before it gets better. Many office workers are encouraged to stay home if they're feeling ill, in the hopes of containing the outbreak. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for America's restaurant and fastfood chains. Starbucks baristas serve millions of customers every day, but most lack paid sick leave and many report going to work when they're feeling ill. Companies like Starbucks have a responsibility to their employees and their customers to help prevent the spread of illness. Join us in demanding that Starbucks take the lead and provide all of their workers with a fair amount of paid sick leave.

Social security taxes are currently applied to only the first $113,000 of earnings. That means that anyone who earns more than that pays a lower tax rate than the rest of us. Why should millionaires like Warren Buffet pay no social security tax on the billions of dollars he makes above the first $113,000, giving him an effective social security tax rate of practically zero? Lifting the income cap on social security taxes would instantly improve the financial health of the system, without cutting benefits for those who have been paying into the system their whole lives, and depend upon it to avoid poverty in their old age.

In light of the Annie Dookhan case, it has become clear that the drug war has a corrupting affect on our criminal justice system. I am proposing putting an end to the marshal laws associated with the drug war and change it to a war on addiction and mental illness.

An initiative to install gunshot sensors around public schools would take them off the list of easy targets for criminals and provide instant police notification in future crises, all without intimidating our children, arming our teachers, or infringing anyone's protected rights.
