• Support Schools in Preventing Tragedy
    Let your state representatives know that you support whole child education in our schools to prevent tragedies such as Sandy Hook Elementary. Give us the choice in deciding to raise our children as a village instead of preventing us from doing so with unyielding and unfair tax caps on education while more and more unfunded mandates rain down upon schools.

  • Kaitlin Riog and the State of the Union
    Kaitlin Riog teaches at Sandy Hook elementary school. During the recent tragedy, during which many young children and school officials were killed, she took immediate action and saved her entire classroom from imminent danger. She should be recognized as the heroine she is and should be selected to sit next to Michelle Obama during the president's State of the Union address next month.

  • Legislators: Help Us Stop Trafficking in Death
    We must move from grief to action in the wake of the Newtown massacre. Let us make gun manufactures illegal in the United States (with a few well-controlled exceptions for "sporting" use or law enforcement). Give manufacturers grants to convert to useful products; begin levying heavy fines on those who do not make moves to comply within a year. In another action we will address the question of imports.

  • Mental Health Tax on Gun Sales
    With the recent tragic events at Sandy Hook Elementary, it becomes clear that mental health issues in our country are integrally involved in mass shootings around our country. It is appropriate that an excise tax on gun sales be put into place in order to fund mental health programs that will be in place in early childhood to assist parents in parenting and obtaining mental health services for their children. A sales tax, similar to that imposed on cigarette sales, would provide much needed funding for mental health services.

  • Picture a More Perfect Future
    This morning I had to explain the senseless deaths of school children to my 10 year old son. This is the world we live in, but it's not the world I want for him. Firearms claim one life every 20 minutes in this country. Yet the purchase and ownership of a gun is less regulated than cars and pets. It is time to put politics aside, lobbyists in their place, and save lives. We need stricter gun controls.
