Tighten Gun Restrictions

We've been conditioned to think we need a barracuda to fight for distribution of assets and custody, but there's a better way: a family agency with a panel of experts working together to devise the best plan for the family. Husbands and wives don't need to be pitted against each other in a divorce. They just think they do because that's the dumb system. That system can be changed and so can your mindset. As an attorney, I am witness to the destructive nature of the family and domestic relations courts which treat family matters as if they were criminal proceedings. Violence should be handled in a criminal court, divorce and custody should not.

Rhonda Lee, an African American meteorologist, who responded on social media to comments regarding her short natural was fired. She should be rehired as she states that she was not aware of an unofficial policy, as stated by the television station, that a response to a viewer could not be made. Her response was to inform him that she was not a cancer patient, but rather a healthy lady who sought to express her African heritage through her hairstyle, beauty, intelligence and poise.

In our current political climate, the 2nd Amendment will not be repealed. However, the Supreme Court will likely not interfere if individual states apply licensing requirements similar to those required to operate a motor vehicle. Since individual states control gun licensing, I am asking my state to take up the matter, and institute a reasonable set of prerequisites for gun ownership.

I am concerned about the effect of global warming on the world's food supply. This summer, the entire state of Oklahoma was under severe to extreme drought conditions. But it wasn't just Oklahoma, 65% of the United States and much of the land on Earth where food is grown were also experiencing drought. Food shortages can pose humanitarian crises and national security concerns. The Agricultural Committee must act protect our food supplies.

I'd like to see all elected official in Congress on Obamacare Plan instead of the current royal system they enjoy at taxpayers' expense. If they want everyone to join to keep costs down, then why does Congress enjoy a Cadallac program that most American's can have.

I am a teacher and I know full well the complete lack of security present in most and particularly elementary schools bec the few guards present im schools are there to break up fights not to protect the children. Most schools are easily entered and only guarded by nonunion untrained personnel on a temp basis. Aren't out children our most valuable possesions? We collect them all together with no protection everyday not counting us teachers who have been faced with ppl who come off the streets at all times of the day. This ks nothing new. I have never been in a properly secured school. Shouldnt the govnt be spending as much money protecting ut schools as they spend checking out luggage at an airport?

My son Eddie Jr, who is now 16 years old has received very little support from his dad. His dad moved 3000 miles away, and re-married while we are still married. My son has not seen his dad since he was 7 years old. His dad used his Social Security Number in 2008, 2009, 2010 to work to avoid paying child support.

Victoria Soto was the courageous young teacher who gave her own life, protecting her students at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. To honor her and the 20 first-grade students who lost their young lives, we are petitioning President Obama and Congress to speedily enact a law to be called the Victoria Soto Childhood Protection Act. This law would ban the ownership, sale, and use of assault weapons inside the United States, and mandate a 10-year prison sentence for offenders. Please join us. The time is NOW.

I worked in a television newsroom for over 39 years.We can report the news without showing the picture of a murderer or speaking his or her name. Let's take the fame out of murder.

The United States is #1 in gun ownership of all industrialized countries. The U.S. far exceeds all of these countries in gun violence and homicide. Statistics show that gun owners are not more secure but actually more likely to die by gunfire. Ask Congress to pass a law banning personal ownership of firearms except for those with a special permit to hunt. Hunters will be allowed to own only weapons designed for hunting.

We pay for the Salaries and Benefits of the DO NOTHING CONGRESS. They are trying to kill our Unions, Social Security and Medicare in addition to privatizing teachers, firefighters, all prisons, policemen, Social Security, Medicare in an effort make themselves richer and institute slave wages in America. This goal is only topped by their unwillingness make their benefactors pay taxes and support this country that made them rich in the first place. Congress members are all MILLIONAIRES and your tax dollars made them such.
