Given the recent gun violence I believe gun owners should be required to purchase insurance on their weapons similar to liability insurance on their cars.

It may be connected to the rise in inflammation illnesses in this country. The timing is about right for many of the increases in some of these illnesses, as in Lupus, Diabetes, Numerous Arthritis , fibromyalgia , neuropathies , and many more that haven't been explained any other way. I have felt better since going as GMO free as possible, which has been VERY HARD , since I have had to call all of my food producers personally to find out if they are GMO. It has been exhausting . but my Doctors want to see if it makes a difference in my health. And if Monsanto believed there was no problem , why did they spend $8,112,069 And cheat to defeat labeling of our food when the ENTIRE EUROPEAN UNION requires some form of disclosure for foods made with GMOs.

In U.S.A. wealthiest americans, businesses, and corporations refused to pay taxes and used the deductions and loopholes allowed in the I.R.S. tax code, but low income americans pay INFLATION taxes, sales taxes, gasoline taxes and State and local taxes that are not according to the income, and that it's unfair because the U.S. dollar has no buying power.

TSA infringement on American's right to probable cause for 'search and seizure'.

Women are greeted by long, long lines at rest rooms in public places, whilst men just waltz in and out. Please build more facilities for us.

All Americans would be affected by Congress voting themselves pay raises.

Poor dears haven't had a raise since 2009. Now Biden, okay. But we can't agree to find ways to cut spending and the so-called "fiscal cliff" is looming large because everyone down there in Washington seems to be playing a game with our country, and Obama is rewarding these clowns with a raise? I got a measly $26/month in social security but Medicare cost was hiked $6/month. And these guys want to cut our benefits (that we paid for, by the way)!

It was recently disclosed by the news media that our federal government and bank regulator, the OCC, have been involved in secret negotiations with the mega-banks that would allow them to escape liability for their toxic mortgage backed securities that wiped out trillions of dollars of home equity and put millions of people out of work. The Banks cheated buyers with toxic loans, decimated our economy by wiping out millions of jobs, cheated the bailout by not lending, cheated owners by breaking loan mod rules, cheated our legal system with illegal foreclosure paperwork, and are now trying to escape liability by buying off the OCC. Do NOT let the Banks off the hook this easily. They owe millions of US citizens their jobs back and the opportunity to own a home again.

What have they/you done to merit a raise? How many times has the regular employee heard: "We didn't make enough profit" or "Times are tough." or "We don't have the budget.". I've heard it in about a third of the 25 years I've been working. Time for Congress to hear it too!!

Because the do nothing congress has lied to us as a people, twice this year, and has now again cost us money many of us just don't have, can't we just tell them goodbye? If I had managed my company this way I would be bankrupt!

We, the people who elect our senators and representatives, should be the ones to decide if they get raises or not. We should decide if they have earned their pay, we should decide whether or not they deserve raises.

The practice of hydrofracturing endangers our water supply, our air, soils, the environment, and human health. There is no way to do it safely and it should be banned.
