Do not cut the benefits,because people need it to live ans this affects me and maybe other people as well,but I can not speak for them.

One of the most insidious of the NRA's tactics in its war against reasonable gun control policies in America is the Tiahrt amendments which not only severely restrict the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms from disclosing its data on gun violence and illegal gun trafficking under the Freedom of Information Act but also bar such data from being used in civil suits against gun manufacturers. Additionally the NRA has successfully lobbied Congress to place restrictions on both the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institutes of Health, preventing them from engaging in or funding research into the effects of gun violence on the nation's health and safety.

With the recent massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newton, Connecticut the NRA & some politicians have suggested that teachers be armed so they could shoot intruders with guns. As someone who choose teaching for my career, not police/guard I want no part of learning to use a gun for any purpose, therefore, I am vehemently against those who are calling on school districts to have teachers carry guns in school.

When Bronte heard about the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy, she wrote a letter to the President - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=307891199310363&set=a.211700932262724.34434.152164651549686&type=1&theater Then she made a video inviting people to help her collect 1,000 messages for Obama - http://youtu.be/wJafJ7klpms

Having been in education for almost 50 years, I've watched the educational system stagnate with no innovation to match the changing needs of teaching to a diverse student population.

MoveOn.org and other progress institutions should devote resources to creating a full time political organization to advocating for Gun Safey and against organization like the NRA.

Assault weapons fire many rounds in just seconds, slaughtering many with just one click!! These kinds of guns need to be removed from society.

People in America need jobs which means the USA cannot wait another 4 years. Congress has options therefore there is no reason to repeat the performance of the past 4 years. Millions of jobs that cannot be outsourced will provide new economic growth thus squashing any Fiscal Cliff.

This is inasnity for every 2$'s I make on my pension over 15k the Government will take back 1$, this will help keep me in poverty for the rest of my life!!!

"Fiscal cliff" negotiations.
