Our politicians have been held hostage by the NRA for too many years. In the reflection of so many horrible gun massacres, it is unconscionable that we still legalize the ownership of assault weapons. Several years ago a study was made which proved that there are many more accidental deaths resulting from gun ownership than if they were limited. The NRA has successfully blackmailed most legislators, whether Democrat or Republican, from restricting the sale of assault weapons. What possible reason is there for ownership of these? To protect yourself or your property, if you feel you must, there is no reason to own anything more killing than a handgun.

Romney was a failure as governor because he increased the state's debt, made the state 47th in job creation, increased fees instead of taxes and ridiculed the state in speeches around the country while still governor.

Almost 300 Senators and Representatives have signed the "Taxpayers Protection Pledge" begun by Grover Norquist. It leaves no room for compromise on federal taxation and loopholes in order to reduce the debt and avert the impending financial cliff. We voters pledge that we will only vote for candidates who take a pledge to put the needs of the country above rigid ideology and reelection concerns. Candidates take notice: if you are unwilling to engage in the democratic process, including reasonable compromise, you will not get our votes. On this we will not compromise.

Since October 2006, my daughter and I have asked countless political, medical, and media sources, "How does two happy healthy children end up in a system for abused and neglected children?" The reason we continue to ask is relative to my grandchildren, Sandoria and Damaud Martin. They were abducted by Maryland state representatives, illegally committed to the Baltimore City Foster Care program, and violated pass human understanding. The children were exposed to sexual deviancy, experimental surgeries, pharmaceutical research, brutal beatings, teeth extractions, heat and chemical burns, and sadistic psychological methodologies. Once two happy healthy children–Damaud is now brain damaged and blind; Sandoria is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. My daughter, Tamekia Martin, was detained, questioned, and cleared of abuse and neglect; yet convicted for hurting her son. The Department of Social Services conveyed to the courts that my grandchildren should remain in foster care because I purchased a birthday cake for my granddaughter. Accountability and justice serves the betterment of humanity. We are requesting accountability and justice.

Pertaining to Jury selection and jurist rights. That a short bill should be introduced into the senate that includes the following; a) That no person shall serve on a jury more than twice in 1 year. b) That all jury members shall be read their full rights pertaining to the court ju.risdiction they are working under. This would include rights of power of decission, such as to allow members to know their individual powers as jurist under the particular local, state ofr federal laws. Yes I have, serving on a jury I found there are a number of people whom sit around purposfully making sure they are always on a jury, with no jobs, and not much else to do. The people I met had a screw loose, and should not be doing something like acting as a jury member out of some fetish or other resoning which is not sane. I also found, that in many juried cases, the people have the same power of the judge, to actually interpet the laws, not have the laws interpeted for them. As such, they should be informed they have this right, including the fact that they can themselves as a group deem a particular law unconstitutional, and refer it to be thrown out on such basis

Mitt Romney has been deafeningly silent on the voter suppression efforts being carried out to benefit him. He needs to be unequivocal in his condemnation of voter suppression for once and for all. Where is his honor?

No company that caters to the American public should, dis-respect the man elected to the office of President of the United States with child like and Idoitic so-called jokes. Boycott this company until the person or people responsible are punished and made to apologize, to the President and to the American public.

In a small town in rural New Hampshire, my brother-in-law has been taking the high and low temperatures for nearly 30 years. The verdict is....the average temperatures are increasing.This year the maple sugar season was cut short when temperatures rose to summer like levels in March - just one example of many that affects New Hampshire's agriculture.

The economic stability and future advancement (economic, scientific and technological) of the U.S. as a global leader is threatened by having a panel chair of the Science Committee who does not agree with basic scientific tenets accepted by most individuals, let alone scientist, on earth. It is an embarrassment to the United States that he serves in this position.
