Please sign this right away & circulate as widely as you can. We can do it, yes we can!

When moving to Detroit, my car insurance rate went through the roof! Since we are required to have car insurance, we shouldn't have to pay more because we have chosen to live in a specific location.

The tragedy in Newton began the necessary discussion of guns in this country. Background checks are currently one of the most effective tools we have when it comes to the sale of guns to people who are deemed responsible gun owners.

The biggest loophole in gun sales and background checks is guns old at gun shows.Guns sold at gun shows do not require a background check. Gun show dealers then sell guns without doing background checks.

Every tax paying citizen in the United States is affected by this outlandish expense to the people of the United States. Citizens are struggling to make ends meet. The government is TRILLIONS in debt. This will go a long way to help balance the budget.

3 out of 4 NFL players own guns according to USA Today... Given where we are and the fact that they are role models for our young... They need to step up and make a difference now. They must turn in their guns and stand with the parents of the kids who were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary.

The NRA and gun rights lobbyists have significantly more access to lawmakers because they are big donors. Gun violence victims and victims families deserve equal access. As we have seen in the past, (with energy regulations), those who have the most to gain financially from legislation are the same one ones who can make the most political contributions. Money leads to access. Gun violence victims deserve to be heard.

What are we most proud of as Americans? In the wake of the most nonsensical death of 20 beautiful children, how should Americans stand as a country to the world and our children now?

I am on SSI and have a contract with the government, not an entitle ment. I paid for it. Obama is a brillant speech giver, he talks the talk but can he walk the walk?

The state of Louisiana is considering a budget that would eliminate all Hospice care to people covered by Medicaid and ending a program that largely uses federal welfare dollars to provide unique mental health treatment to very young children. More than 5,800 people received Hospice care through Medicaid in 2012. Eliminating the Early Childhood Supports and Services program will save the state only $134,000 for a program which receives a $2.7 million federal match.

This proposed amendment is a bit broad but the thought is on target Children of congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans. How nice for them! Monday on Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop? 35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention. This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on. This is an idea that we should address. For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform. in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
