I have had enough death and dying by way of bullets in this country that constitutionally boasts of freedom. I stand with the second ammendment right to bear arms, but lets get real: we don't need automatic assault weaponry to shoot game. I myself have never owned a gun, but I also appreciate those who do shoot to feed families, these are not the folks I speak of. Keep handguns legal,but, please! Stop the AR weapons and bullets. Love, a Democrat and Republican voter.

Stop the senseless mass killings. Enough is enough.

As a school employee, I realize the tragedy in Newtown could happen at any of our schools.

In light of the tragic murders of children at Sandy Hook Elementary School, we urge you to pass sensible gun control legislation and ensure that mental health care is adequately funded in the ongoing "fiscal cliff" negotiations.

To help family's with mentally challenged teens and young adults. Also to stop Hollywood from putting out the stupid violent movies and the companies that put out the horrific games that our young adults and teens play.

Extreme weather events have affected all regions of the country, and probably the planet: 2011 drought in Texas, 2012 drought in major grain-growing regions, "Superstorm Sandy," melting permafrost generating methane, temperature anomalies wreaking havoc on fruit production, bark beetles destroying coniferous forests in Texas, Canada, Alaska, and elsewhere.

As President Obama so rightly observed in his talk at the Memorial Service in Newtown, CT on 12/16/12, "we have to do better" in protecting our children and others from mindless violence. We who sign here are ready and willing to do our part. Call on us.

END THE VIOLANCE,GET RID OF THE ASSAULT WEAPONS.

In order to rebuild our country's infrastructure, re-evaluate our taxpayer spending priorities, and reduce the deficit, let's start with the billions of taxpayer dollars now being spent on waging wars abroad.

Gun control to cut down on senseless violence. Everybody has been affected by this tragedy. How can we protect our children when evil people can get guns so easily. I am a retired teacher and I know how little ones get scared with a clap of thunder. Or loud noise what must these little have endured with this ordeal.

In thoughtful and compassionate response to the tragedy of the shootings in New Town, CT, and the many other shootings that have happened in recent years, we need to address the lack of effective and long-term services for those among us who are experiencing mental illness.

In light of recent tragedies, It's obvious that Anti-Abortion is not synonymous with Pro-Life.The same hypocrites who label themselves with such titles favor possession of assault rifles in inner cities and drastically reduce health care specifically Mental Health Care.So it's time for the media to start labeling them as such until they live up to their titles.  I have a colleague who's sister was killed by a mental health candidate and an alum killed by a person who sought mental health treatment only to be denied. How many more tragedies must occur?     It's time to petition,march ,riot for mental health care as a basic right for American citizens and a civil right. Stop being observers and participate in making our lives as humans productive to our communities, our nation, and our world.It must start with you. This is the time ....Peace Be With You.
