  • Enforce Firearms Laws Instead Of Altering Second Amendment
    Protect the Second Amendment without altering it in any way as another petition declares. The Second Amendment is sacred and as important to our Constitution as the First and without the Second in place, we will surely lose our First Amendment. Laws are on the books and must be enforced to ensure criminals who use firearms irresponsibly are punished to the fullest extent of the law each and every time.

  • Same Sex Marriage in Illinois
    Several of my friends are homosexual and have been together for several years. They would love to get married and have children but, the state of Illinois has not yet approved this. They deserve the right to be married and are entitled to the legal rights that go along with that. This should be a priority for our state, to grant it's same sex citizens marriage rights.

  • KS State: Investigate the Abuse of Children Involved with Westboro Baptist Church
    The Westboro Baptist Church is a hate group masquerading as a religious organization that forces their children to participate in virulent hate speech and brainwashes them into their culture of hatred. Fred Phelps, the pastor of the church, is accused of physical abuse by his own son—and the psychological trauma and abuse the current children of the church suffer is apparent. These children should be protected by the State of Kansas through an investigation into the safety of their home environments.

  • Gun Clubs As Solution To Managing Guns
    Guns are not being managed. The guns that killed so many children belonged legally to the gunman's mother. The gunman's mother was the first to die. We've got to get guns out of the house and into the hands of gun clubs who can be required to lock them up and only allow use at the gun club. People would therefore would not be denied the right to own a gun but they could not have them on their person or anywhere but at a licensed, inspected, and controlled gun club.
