Gangs of teenagers are easily armed with lethal automatic weapons and handguns and are terrorizing urban areas . Inner cities and "ghettos" are not the only place this is occurring. More and more you hear about gun violence in all areas of the country. Guns are so easy to acquire and there are really no regulations. It's time we realize that we are not able to be in control of the situation as it is. Some things need to go. Gun shows travel the country selling guns to anyone with cash, no questions asked. This is insanity. Gun shows need to go. We need new tough laws and regulations to regulate the way guns are bought, sold, licensed and manufactured. Please sign this petition if you agree that a ban on automatic weapons and hand guns nationwide is needed. Restricting manufacturers from creating these man-killers is essential. Opponents will say that "guns don't kill people, people kill people!", the fact is People with guns kill people. Without guns people are much less likely to kill each other. We can't lead the world on this one, most countries across the globe already restrict guns and require permits to have them, this is civilized. Sign this if you want to see a change in gun laws nationwide.

I want the congres give me support with my student loan.

The House of Representatives is considering throwing 3M people off of food assistance by slashing the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program (SNAP) which Republicans demonize by its old name, "Food Stamps." A family of three, with a total income of more than $24,100 annually, would be out of luck, and food. This is yet another GOP anti-woman bill, as a large amount of public assistance goes to poor working single mothers.

These Dolphins and Whales need their hearing this is how they survive. Why kill the Dolphins they are fun and exciting for the kids and adults.

Pimps on this website trying to pimp off girls younger than 12 and backpage.com is suppose to be a place where kids can talk about homework etc... Well I know what's it all about by going undercover and pretending and boy the responses that I have. I am a 55 year old grandmother and this is disgusting

at 20 years old i owe the government $50,000 because i wanted to attend pastry school. education in new york state should be paid for for residents. other states don't make their residents pay thousands to further their education! my older sister wants to get a culinary degree at a community college. she can't afford the tuition though, and she was only granted financial aid for one semester. when she applied again for the second semester, they denied her because six years ago she had to drop some classes at community college so she could work. they stopped her financial aid then because she was only going part time and denied her again this year because of that incident. i find this completely unfair. my sister works at wal-mart, and i've graduated from pastry school. something needs to change. education should be free! i think more teens would stay in high school because they could go on to college knowing they don't have to worry about loans or debt. kids will finally ne able to be whatever they want to be, just like they tell us in kindergarten. please sign this petition and help get my message out there! thank you!!

Impunity for crimes they committed exists in perpetuity unless they are prosecuted. The rule of law is moot. From starting a war of agression to torture to illegal wiretaping, the Bush team's mass illegality goes unprosecuted.

Whole Foods sits on the Organic Standards Board which regulates what is allowed in USDA certified organic foods. Whole Foods time and time again votes with Big Food, companies like Kellogg and General Mills that own organic food lines, to allow non organic ingredients in certified organic foods. According to the New York Times, Whole Foods voted in favor of adding ammonium nonanoate, a herbicide, to organic foods. Partially because of Whole Foods, there are now 250 non organic ingredients allowed in organic food. Tell Whole Foods, one of the biggest players in organics, to stand up for real organic food like Eden does and stop aligning with Big Food to allow toxic substances in organic food that jepordize our health simply to maximize it's already huge profits.

In Colorado City, Arizona someone half-buried a kitten alive in concrete (see: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/09/cat-buried-in-concrete-colorado-city-az_n_1660320.html). Despite efforts to free the kitten, it died a few days after being removed from the concrete. The local sheriffs refuse to investigate the crime. We would like to see this crime investigated and the guilty parties punished to the full extent of the law.

I retired from the State of Illinois SURS pension system November 1, 2010, basing my benefits on a specific monetary amount, including the benefit of no-cost health insurance. On June 27, 2012, Governor Quinn signed HB1313, taking effect July 1, 2012, requiring some 78,000 state retirees to pay a portion of the premiums which Public Act 90-0065 of the 90th General Assembly states will be provided by the State of Illinois.

The safety of Police and Border patrol agents, as well as the entire nation is in grave danger from terrorists and drug cartels and the Federal Government and the Supreme Court are more concerned about political correctness, and offending people. Force them to do their jobs.
