For-profit investment banks and financial institutions do NOT have your best interest in mind. Their prime directive is to benefit shareholders - NOT customers of banking services. Aside from huge salaries and bonuses for CEOs and officers the manipulation of internal books and the creation of bank to bank deals shows that these massive financial corporations cannot be trusted. We need a not-for-profit state bank that holds the concerns of the citizens to heart. A state bank will serve and provide the financial services that people, small business and communities need in a transparent, efficient and honest fashion. A state bank will protect the state and its citizens from wanton fiduciary irresponsibility. A state bank will provide a stable platform for sustained growth and balanced prosperity. A state bank will serve the people not the shareholders.

Political "solutions" to gun violence and school shootings have not been solutions at all. Our students, teachers, and school staff are more vulnerable now than ever. We need professionals from the military and law enforcement to devise solutions.

My Parents are on Disability and are on Medicare. If the Government decides to cut Benefits for those who need these or other Services like it, then it will hurt Millions.

As a man in a same-sex marriage for 35 years, with a child, I want the same civil/human right afforded other Americans.

Insurance companies charge 100.00$ every six months per vehicle insureded,for a fund that already has 12 b $ in it .

One day demonstration to illustrate the serious intent of imposing restrictions on current gun-control laws. By signing this position and being willing to keep children home on one agreed-upon day, the electorate sends a message to our President and government that NOW is the time to act, before another heinous shooting occurs.

It is now time to force our congressmen and women to introduce, and pass, comprehensive legislation to ban all assault weapons and high-capacity magazine clips, outright. Institute regulations prohibiting interstate traffic of these weapons and requiring a 14 day waiting period and background checks for all prospective buyers of all firearms.

Gun zealots are putting the rest of us at risk in the service of their sick obsession. They have political power, but we are not helpless and If there ever was a time to impose reasonable restrictions on firearms, this is it. Let us reasonable people deluge the lawmakers.

While the heartbreaking school massacre in Connecticut has us all rightly thinking about gun-control laws, our psychologists, sociologists, and physicians should also be studying causes of violence in American society and possible means of prevention. And yet, because of pressure from the gun lobby, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at the CDC has been denied any funding that “may be used to advocate or promote gun control” since 1996. How can we allow a business lobby to prevent not only legislation on so important a topic but even study and debate on the subject?

mental health issues on back burner for too long, always someone else s problems..there is money enough for this if we all look at it as ALL of our problem.... the closing of hospitals for the mentally ill have disappeared over the years as government funding is cut, but luxury apartments and rehabilitation centers grow .......

KSL is a Utah news organization that offers a classifieds section for guns. http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=231&category=353 Tell them to pull this section, as it doesn't discourage people to unlawfully obtain firearms; it provides only a statement encouraging them to exchange weapons legally.

At least one police officer should be permanently assigned to each Elementary School in the United States, to protect the most precious asset of this glorious nation, our Children We need to use all available resources to prevent another tragedy like the one in Newtown CT from happening, at least until new comprehensive gun control laws are in place. My daughter Marella attends the Clifton School and I feel like we should use all of our resources to guard her safety and that of her peers and teachers. Thank you, Millo Antola
