it is hard enough for middle and lower class people to live now. cost of living is hard to live anymore . many are loosing their homes already or have someone live with them to be able to keep their home . that is sad, work all your life and can not afford to live alone if you choose. now there is not much choice for many.I am on soc. sec. disability. I am making under $ 1200.00 MONTHLY. and I worked for nearly 28 years in a factory.I feel bad for the one's who make even less than I do. Father God is protecting me. I have no health insurance through medicare yet. I do not know why we have to wait 25 months before we qualify for soc.sec. medical benefits.I am blessed with a Christian Doctor who Loves people and don't charge me for his services a lot of times.medication is another issue of its own.many of us take medications. my sister went without her medicine for fibromyalgia .she could not afford it.I gave her the money for her doctor so she could pay the bill so she bought her prescription . she takes many other scrips also. and she is on soc.sec. waiting for her time to be up so she will at least have insurance. we do not understand why we have to wait 25 months to get medicare in the first place. so if they lower our soc.sec. regular money and other people,that would not be a good idea at all.WHEN WE WILL RECEIVE SOC.SEC. MEDICAL WE WILL LOOSE THE AMOUNT FOR THE MEDICAL OUT OF OUR CHECKS . SO WE WILL LOOSE $100. OR MORE OF REGULAR PAY. MAKING IT HARDER TO LIVE. Our Father God loves us all. we need more people to trust Jesus and follow Father God. when we truly have FAITH and follow Jesus he will be waiting. he wants our country to be a Great Nation. he wants us to pray For our President Obama even if we don't care for him as a President we must pray that he will makes the correct decisions. if we all pray as a nation, miracles will begin to happen in our Government. pray that those opposed will have a change of heart and realize we need soc. sec. to prosper always.. we the people of the united states need to petition and pray a lot more than what we have in the past many years. remember our mighty country used to believe IN GOD WE TRUST ! WHAT HAPPENED TO U.S.A. TO MANY BELIEVE HOWEVER, DON'T FOLLOW WHAT JESUS SAYS. SAD ! PLEASE TRY TO FOLLOW JESUS, HE IS THE WAY,TRUTH AND LIFE. YOU CAN NOT FOLLOW PART WAY AND EXPECT ANSWERS ! I TRIED THAT. GOD IS LOVE. PRAY WE WILL ALL BE TAKEN CARE OF.,LISTEN TO WHAT C H R I S T WANTS OF YOU. YOU WILL GO FAR ! FATHER GOD'S BLESSINGS TO US ALL ! OXOXOX IN GOD'S LOVE AND GRACE THANK YOU ALL .JESUS SAVES US FROM EVIL

We are asking all media to stay away from Newtown and Monroe, CT when the students of Sandy Hook Elementary School return to school

If it were known that the penalty for using a gun in a crime were life in prison - fewer perpetrators would risk using these weapons when committing a crime.

Start a sustainable community.

I have a disturbed and periodically violent grandson who had to be sent from his home state of Washington, devoid of any residential schools for kids with mental illness, to one of the few facilities for kids like him in NM. There should be facilities everywhere for these kids so that the massacres which have occurred in recent years will be greatly diminished.

Waiting for buses on the q5 route is a real pain; they do not come often and when they do, they come bunched together. There is no accountability. I could find better use for my time and it would probably help the economy as most people would spend more time shopping. Geneva Switzerland is a good model if the MTA needs ideas.

Push our progressive leaders and media types to stop using the pharse "Gun Control" legislation. No one wants to be controled; even NRA members are for gun safety. It is all about preception. I believe more people would be open to dialog if it were "ALWAYS" termed Gun Safety guidelines when pushing the policy debate.

Reducing Social Security benefits will reduce the money for our groceries, medications, health needs, and costs of daily living. We have limited income. It is difficult to stretch our budget without the income we have saved and count to have available for expenses. Our benefits are a large part of our monthly income.

There are too many guns now to take away, but that doesn't mean we can't tax assault weapons, require bi-annual licensing and proficiency tests, control the amount of ammunition that can be sold or accumulated.

It's time that we speak out and not allow the NRA to speak for us - we do not want any more school shootings -
