An estimated 34 gun deaths occur daily in the United States. These thousands of deaths a year include many innocent children. Unlike the tragedy in Newtown, CT, they go largely unreported by our national media. In order to provide greater balance in the current public debate of guns and proposed gun regulations, we believe the media should give a regular and periodic report providing the name and age of the victims.

Our government is no longer for the people or by the people. Our Congressmen are only looking to keep their position, power and benefits!

In order to stay safe and warm when the I-5 interstate mountain freeway to California is not passable due to snow and ice, semi-truck drivers leave their motors running through out the night in the parking lot beside our local Ashland Oregon Shop 'n Kart just off exit 14. Like many local Ashland residents, My daughter and I live less than a block away, and I regret to report that we can smell diesel fumes and hear their engines rumbling durring these hazardous traveling times. Unfortunately however, the nitrogen oxide (NOx) adsorbers, sulfur dioxide, and sulfur trioxide released when burning diesel gasoline hovers in the air in our neighborhood, due to the weather trapping effect called an inversion layer, which is a common event in Ashland Oregon. We must require resting semi-truck drivers to shut off their engines after 10 minutes.

I'm not smart enough about electric vehicles to write this petition, to 'argue' it. But for obvious reasons it would provide a key tipping point to a renewable energy future if the United States Postal Fleet, all the mail trucks therein, went electric.

We are demanding that the Association of Bragg Officers' Spouses stop discriminating against Ashley Broadway, the openly lesbian spouse of Lieutenant Colonel Heather Mack, and accept her as a member.

I think we should demand that for the next presidential election we have preferential ballots. This way you can vote for whatever candidate you want no matter how minor they seem to be because your first and second choices are both counted. Therefore the candidate that wins will better understand what issues Americans really feel strongly about.

A congress person should be voted in for a term of no more then 4 to 6 years. They should not make it a life long career. They should be ban to lobby in Washington for 5 years after their term ends. Their health insurance and salary should only be cover only for their time in service and not for life.

Until every US citizen has universal access to healthcare, then taxpayers shall cease paying for healthcare for elected members of Congress or Govenors who can readily pay for own healthcare. End this financial burden on hardworking taxpayers now.

The US Congress, as it consists today is beholden to special interests. If members of Congress are restricted to one six year term in office they would weigh more carefully how they vote on bills and laws since they would be affecting their own lives directly when they return to the electorate.

Any & all Health Insurance Premiums should be pre-tax deductible just as they are for any & all paid by employers.
