• School Security!
    The horrific act commited in Newtown Conn. is and must be the last straw. If our lawmakers will not take a moral stand against the NRA and other gun promotors, then we must act. Without the ability to know who is armed and ready to commit an act like this, we must at least have a fighting chance to protect our children. We must demand at the state, local and private sectors, armed security at all schools.

  • Repeal Second Amendment
    Considering the rash of mass murders in the last decade and the current spirit of American society, I believe that the context of the Second Amendment has changed so radically that it must be repealed. Life is more sacred than the Second Amendment.

  • Petition to limit gun ownership to a "well regulated militia", as stated in the 2nd Amendment.
    "We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years...As a country, we have been through this too many times...And we’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics." President Obama’s remarks on the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on 12/14/12. It's time for the people to clarify that the Second Amendment only guarantees the right of the people to bear arms in a "well regulated militia", and that mere individuals are not a "well regulated militia".

  • Tax Guns To Pay For Free Mental Health Clinics
    As the parent of a six-year-old first grader, after yesterday's trajedy in Newtown, Conn., I can't sit idly by and wait for our gun lobbyist-funded government to act responsibly. Congress should enact a 100% tax on all gun and ammunition purchases, effective immediately. The revenues generated ($6 billion annually) could be used to fund free mental health clinics.

  • When will Congress take a cut in pay and benefits?
    Since most of our citizens have had hard times in the past few years, I think it's high time for our so called leaders to take cuts like WE have! It will not only help our overburdened budget but also might restore our faith in them.
