I have daughters the same age as those killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy.

Friday’s school massacre in Connecticut is a national tragedy. It marks the 19th mass shooting in our country within the past 5 years and 31st school shooting since Columbine in 1999! This is no longer an "Isolated Incident", it's a Public Health Issue!

Just loving and having children breaks my heart for those that are now mourning their babies, young or old. Let families grow old all together without such heartache.

As members of America's unions, we reject the NRA's claim that union members support its destructive agenda. We are teachers, nurses, first responders, builders, information workers, government workers, and others who believe that our nation should act now to end the senseless slaughter in our community.

School lunch menus fail to offer a meat-free option to students. It is unfair to force our children to eat dead animals if they wish NOT to do so. My daughter's lunch menu offers 'lunch A' and 'lunch B', both of which always have MEAT in them. We are vegetarians who don't drink cow's milk, therefor, my daughter comes home hungry, not having eaten almost every day. More than just cow's milk should be offered to drink! Even the salads have meat! This is unacceptable. My children don't want to eat dead animals, nor should they have to. If there are two options, one should be MEAT-FREE!

Keeping the Guns away from people with Menthal health issues and better Gun control laws so guns eould not get into the wrong hands.

This petition is in response to the massive slaughter of 28 innocent children and teachers at the Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday, December 14, 2012, by a deranged man who had access to guns and went on a killing spree in this school.

U.S.C. 47,Section 223,which covers cyberstalking, applies only to direct communications between the perpetrator and the victim.It should include individuals who use blogs and other third party means to stalk and harass. The statute also requires that the perpetrator has not revealed his or her name to the victim.It should include perpetrators known to the victim also.Violation of this statute is only a misdemeanor, punishable by not more than two years in prison.The penalty should be increased.

As a high school student in 1999 the mass shooting at Columbine was seared into my brain. It literally gave me nightmares about going to school. As a high school teacher now, I still face the fear of a mass shooting each day I go to work. Don't we all? After all the workplace, school, mall, theatre and church mass shootings, there is nowhere left that feels safe. I'm not suggesting something so extreme as banning all guns, but I think most sensible people agree that assault rifles are terrorist weapons of mass destruction, neither useful for sport or self defense. Let's join together to honor those children and teachers at Sandy Hook and ask our leaders to ban assault rifles! Stop the mass shootings!

Senate Bill 59 allows concealed weapons to be carried in our schools and places of worship. All it requires to obtain is extra training. We do not need this law! It's a potential risk without a real reason as to why we should free this up

semi automatic guns should not be owned by anyone who is not a policeman, or in the military.

This position will arm all productive members of society. If one is fully employed in a private sector job and has completed high school with at average grades they will be provided with a handgun and ammunition allowance by the federal government. This will end crime. Police forces can be reduced and jail populations will drop. The courts have proven incompetent and corrupt so a board of machinists or dairy farmers will determine if victim was correct in his use of weapon to preserve order. No lawyers will be necessary in the process and they will be required to enter the work force in a non parasitic vocation determined by machinist and dairy farmer board. Please pass this on! Marc
