I was horrified to learn that anyone can legally purchase military type weapons. No one needs assault weapons to defend themselves. Regardless of our right to own guns there are some things that people should not be able to buy. The 2nd amendment was never intended to preserve the rights of those whose only purpose is violence. What's next, nuclear bombs at the corner market? Stop the madness!!

We have to put pressure on the auto finance industry as well as credit card companies to cap their interest rates for products and services to the middle class. The middle class uses credit cards and we are the largest group of outstanding auto loans and debt carriers. These auto loans for those without a credit score of 750 or above can go as high as 25%. I myself have been paying 21% on my auto. That said I have paid for my car twice. Credit card companies will offer an initial low interest rate until one payment is late or your credit score is below their standard and then it can skyrocket to as high as 35%. Because of this I have not had a credit card in 6 years. These companies make money from our purchases as well as our credit score. We, the middle class, make the economy; not the 1% of those that hold all the wealth in this country. What do these companies do with our money? Why have I had to pay for my car twice the amount of the selling price? Very often these companies ship their jobs, call center jobs, etc. over seas thus saving them money and making a large profit from the interest imposed. Perhaps some are investing in political campaign funding. The Middle Class is the backbone of this country and finance interest rates are at an all time high, giving these finance companies a huge profit while the middle class dwindle financially and is unable to spend in order to revive the economy. Put the pressure on to Cap Interest rates now!

In the 108th Congress, Representative Carolyn McCarthy, Democrat of New York, introduced H.R. 2038, the Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2003, on May 8, 2003, before the assault weapons ban expired. It had 111 cosponsors. The bill would have renewed the assault weapons ban for an additional ten years and revise the definition of "semiautomatic assault weapon." The bill never got out of committee to come up for a floor vote and died at the end of the 108th Congress.

We have to have 25 Teachers sign petition for the southern California locations.

The Earth has finite resources. It cannot support endless growth of any kind. A completely new, sustainable path for humans must be followed or economic, social, and population crashes are inevitable.

The Tea Party has spent a lot of energy insisting that in order to collect unemployment, welfare or any other form of government assistance, that we need to drug test the recipents. We need put to a vote the concept of buying a weapon requires a clean drug test too.

If you belong to an Anthem Blue Cross health plan or pay California state taxes your money is helping to fund misleading, partisan political ads. These ads hurt our families by attacking supporters of health care, environmental regulation and Wall Street reform. Anthem Blue Crossʼs super-rich parent company, WellPoint Inc., which last year made $2.6 billion in profit and paid its CEO more than $13 million, is secretly using your premium money against you and your family to oppose rate regulation that would keep Anthem and other health insurers from price-gouging. UPDATE: Angela Braly has resigned as CEO of WellPoint, bowing to pressure from investors and activists amid accusations of mismanagement. Petition signatures will be forwarded to John Cannon, interim CEO, instead.

Aurora killings.

Preventing gun and ammo purcheses on the internet.

Change the gun laws now.

Change the gun laws now.

Our state recently witnessed another gun-related tragedy in Aurora. We cannot allow one more innocent life to be taken. We are calling on our elected leaders to end this senseless violence by enacting legislation that will limit the number and types of weapons that individuals can own.
