• Today is the Day to Talk About Reducing Gun Violence
    At Sandy Hook Elementary School, Connecticut, at least 20 very young children were shot and killed, likely at close range, along with several adults. Imagine, for just a moment, your child getting killed this way. Every day in America, 86 people are killed with guns and families are devastated. President Obama has yet to give Americans a real, detailed plan about how he will reduce the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Mr. President, today IS the day to talk about real solutions. And today, we demand that you tell us your plan.

  • Criminal Prosecutions for Financial Felonies
    How can we live in a country where employees of large corporations like HSBC commit felonies drug money laundering and traffic with terrorists for 15 years and escape with a fine? During the same period the US imprisoned thousands of poor people for terrorism and drug related crimes. The rich should not go free a fine while the poor get prison sentences.

  • Save Our Children. Gun Control Now.
    Protecting our second amendment rights need to be balanced with the protection of our citizens. How many more senseless and entirely PREVENTABLE shootings have to occur before we do something about Gun Control. As a citizen and constituent of this great country, I am asking that you take a firm stand and make a positive change by restricting access to guns and saving lives. Even the many of us that own guns believe that further restricting access to handguns and assault riffles as well as eliminating extended magazine clips will save lives. Please take action on this issue. Thank you for your action!

  • No Free Advertising for Murderers!
    With the recent school mass murder, it's obvious that the sick individuals that do these things care only about the attention they get from these attacks. We should no longer reveal their names. No more free advertising.

  • Save our children from bullets!
    Recent events, such as the mass killing of innocent children in Newton, CT and elsewhere, indicate we need to control murder by firearms. Since we cannot control the guns, let's control the ammunition. Let's get the most restrictive ammunition legislation in world started. If you are a good shot, you only need one, maybe two bullets to kill a deer or squirrel.

  • Citizens Must Take Lead In Responding to Gun Violence
    The Connecticut School Shooting this morning is the final nail in the coffin of this national tragedy of escalating gun violence. The Citizens must act, because our national leaders are showing no leadership. . Our national leaders must stand up to the gun lobby and not just ignore the latest escalation in this brutal and random gun violence. Ending the gun show loophole, creating manifests of the mentally ill who own guns, etc. must be implemented.

  • Stop Senseless Gun Violence
    There are at least 26 dead in Newtown, CT, including 20 children. And all the White House can say is that "today is not the day" to consider stronger gun control. You're right, Mr. President, that was YESTERDAY. And every yesterday before that one. The yesterday before Columbine, Aurora, and more. Silence in the face of tragedy isn't respectfulness, it's cowardice.
