To Ask Bass Pro Shops to join Dicks's Sporting Goods in their action to stop selling assault rifles.

One in three of Trump's judicial nominees have an explicit anti-LGBT record and Mr. Giampietro is just the latest to get caught red-handed voicing his bigotry on air. This type of prejudice and bias have no place in our federal courts. The vitriolic and incendiary anti-LGBT rhetoric from Giampietro captured in the recordings, while shocking and disturbing, is unfortunately par for the course with respect to many of the judicial nominees coming out of this White House. In addition, Giampietro has made disturbing comments in blog posts about what he calls a "racial spoils system;" writing about the Civil Rights Act of 1964, he claimed that "calls for diversity" are "code for relaxed standards." He has also said in interviews that he, "grew up next to lawyers, architects and crack dealers...The common denominator [he] saw was that the children who succeeded in Washington, [DC] were in private schools, and the children who turned out to be criminals were in public schools." Even if it is becoming commonplace, we must never accept this discriminatory and divisive as worthy of a federal judge.

I am a Doctor of Chiropractic and as a Health professional I cannot justify anyone having access to Assault Weapons and Large Capacity Magazines. I am a Father and Grandfather; yes I am deeply affected by any mass shootings and especially by the senseless killings of children. I am calling on all Health Professionals and citizens to join me in this effort. It might take years, but it is a matter of time and times are of a changing.

Teachers have massive responsibilities with crowded classrooms and low student funding in the state of Arizona. Teachers have to continue their education in order to renew their teaching certifications. Teachers are dealing with every aspect of a child’s life including emotional and social, as well as educating. Reward our teachers with a decent salary for their continued dedication to our most valuable resource, our children!

A few years ago, I left California to visit my ancestral home, Yemen, and to start a coffee business––an equitable and sustainable business to support farmers and to bridge the divide between cultures through something that everyone loves. But I ended up in the middle of a war. On March 26, 2015, while in Sana'a, the Yemeni capital, I woke up to loud explosions all around me. I went out to see what was going on and saw what looked like laser beams being shot in the sky against Saudi jets. The Saudi government had begun a military campaign against Yemen––supported by our government and our tax dollars. As an American, I felt ashamed, and I felt angry because I knew that those bombs weren't made in Saudi Arabia. They were made in the U.S., and those were our tax dollars. When I found out that the logistical supports for these attacks were provided by our government, it made me even more angry. The airstrikes were violent and sporadic. I heard the sounds of men, women, and children crying, the earth shaking. I didn't know what would happen the next day. I came home to California—but I still run my business. I go back every year to work with my farmers. And, three years later, these airstrikes are still occurring. The war has only escalated, and the humanitarian situation is one of the worst in the world. Over 16 million people require some type of humanitarian aid, and over 42,000 people have been injured. [1] But there is hope. Right now, Senators Bernie Sanders, Mike Lee, and Chris Murphy are calling on Congress to exert their constitutional authority and end this inhumane destruction of millions of lives for geopolitical games. Because the resolution uses the War Powers Act, it must be brought to a floor vote in 10 days. And the clock has already started. Congress must see the American people's fierce opposition to an immoral and illegal war being fought in their name and see strong support for resolution that would bring this U.S. war in Yemen to an end.

Since no entity is more responsible for these destroyed lives, it is only just that Congress bear the burden. It is my hope that if Congress had to pay the price for their actions (or inaction) it might strive to fulfill its obligation to the people.

I am tired of watching the bodies of children being laid to rest as a result of mass shootings, and the NRA's ferocious attack on anyone who stands up to say ENOUGH!! There are far too many people ignoring the fact that the 2nd amendment needs to be looked at, and there is a reason why the weapon of choice for these perpetrators, is called an ASSAULT RIFLE, not a Defensive weapon....they belong in the military, and NOT in the hands of civilians with evil intent.

Due to the current Georgia law, which states that the case is to stay in the County/State of the Noncustodial Parent, which is difficult when they up and leave without notification. My 8-year-old son's father is still using my previous address, where he has been gone from the home for over 4 years. The noncustodial parent should NOT fall more than 30-45 days behind in payment. It's hard being a single parent and the noncustodial parent neglects the child/children as if their needs are not important. Being a single mother, all the responsibility and financial duties fall solely on me. Its hard to tell my 8-year old I don't have funds to pay for him to participate in a sport or can't take him to bowling or determining whether to be late paying a bill so that I can purchase clothes that fit. Custodial parents don't have a day off; I am always on the clock as a SINGLE PARENT 365 days a year, at PTA meetings, dentist/doctor appointments, working to provide for us, cooking dinner, helping with homework, giving birthday parties, consoling him when he cries for his noncustodial parent, making ends meet with the help of the Good Lord on my side and answering our prayers.

The CHAA Executive Board secretly voted Rex and Elizabeth Smith off the baseball board without Rex and Elizabeth 's knowledge, or attendance from any Spring 2018 Baseball board members.

Current Speaker (GOP Leader) Paul Ryan is making a blanket statement "GOP will not look at gun control rather will look for system control". His is saying that "We shouldn’t be banning guns for law-abiding citizens,". Ryan see the need of military grade riffle on every law-abiding citizen. That is ludicrous and unhuman. I think it is time to replace Paul Ryan from the GOP leader post.

As an educator, I believe that there is no place for guns in our classrooms. I urge South Carolina legislators to keep our students and colleagues safe by opposing open carry laws and resisting calls to arm teachers.
