The NRA vows to fight all gun restriction. Obviously, they have their heads in the sand, which makes me wonder how they can hit any target with this kind of thinking. The politicians who have been bought by the NRA need to be voted out.

While politicians posture and play chicken with our economy all American citizens are affected because of the uncertainty that individuals and businesses face about policy direction.

We suppot the discussion that Piers Morgan is having about gun control and mental health in this nation.

Even President Obama and too many Democrats appear willing to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits as part of a "grand bargain" to avoid the "fiscal cliff" despite the fact that these are bare bones safety net programs that hard working taxpaying people pay specific taxes for and, if necessary, are willing to increase so that in this richest country in the world our elderly can live their final days in relative comfort and basic dignity. Anything less is a travesty of justice given the harsh regressive tax cut driven disparity of wealth and income in our country fueled by decades of GOP deregulation of greed in the banking, finance, and energy sectors of our economy.

My Father Died of Lung Cancer, and his death was both horrible and beautiful in its own way. This petition is about the proposal to allow Uranium Mining in the Commonwealth of Virginia, because doing so is first - entirely foolhardy, and totally Not necessary. We need as many people as possible to sign this petition, especially citizens of Virginia. People anywhere can sign, however because if this is permitted, we can eventually expect to say good bye to the following: safe foods to eat from most of Virginia, a clean and safe area to live or vacation in all of the eastern 2/3 of Virginia (plus northeastern North Carolina) and a future in which "Virginia is for Lovers." Eventually people will have to replace the word lovers in the slogan with the word Losers,

National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre defended his proposal to put armed guards in every school in the country. This is his solution to prevent future tragedies like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that took the lives of 20 children and six adults. "If it's crazy to call for armed officers in our schools to protect our children, then call me crazy."

There are millions who suffer 24/7 with CRPS. Studies done over the past 10 years show how much ketamine helps with chronic nerve pain. We want the FDA to change Ketamine to a schedule 3 drug and approve it's use for the treatment of CRPS.

We've recently heard from folks who are outraged that Congress and President Obama are considering cutting Social Security benefits for current and future retirees. Social Security does not add to the deficit and should be off the table on any fiscal deal.

With most of America getting no wage increases or getting wage cuts it's time we as employers to give congress salary cuts. We need to put salary and pension cuts for the house and senate on the ballot in the next election and let the voters show them just what we think of their job performance.

As a mother of two children, I'm frustrated by the all-or-nothing rhetoric around gun control and Second Amendment rights. I believe that we can and should make our lives safer by regulating gun ownership in a way similar to how we regulate car ownership. I do not consider these any great threat to our Second Amendment rights. These programs could be paid for with their own registration and licensing fees.

NO DENTEL CARE FOR MOST VETERANS!!
