I have an 8-year-old daughter and I want her to feel safe going to school, going to church, or going to any public event. Gun proliferation in America is out of control; too many loopholes in our current laws. We need to raise the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21, have a minimum 5 day waiting period for all purchases, require all private transfers to be registered and to ban assault-style firearms and any accessories to turn them into automatic weapons.

We must stand up to Kleptocracy in America.

I know many teachers whom have to work a second job to make ends meat. The current Arizona State teacher pay is grossly neglected and that's not right. Parents expect teachers to elevate their child's love for education so they will be ready for college. Unfortunately, Arizonas teacher shortage and turnover rate speaks for its self! Let's stop this nonsense and give teachers a respectable wage and less extra duties!

A question on citizenship has been proposed for the 2020 census. This is a terrible idea as it discourages non-citizens (legal or not) from participating in the census. And the census affects resources for your state/county/city etc. and re-districting decisions. Everyone should be counted. If enough of us pledge to refuse to answer this question, regardless of citizenship status, then it will show this question to be the worthless & racist question it is. The online form might require the question to be answered, so we may all have to wait for the paper version. That increased cost alone may influence the decision makers. Feel free to send this far and wide! Each of us who pledges makes a difference. Ideally, if enough of us pledge BEFORE the census forms go out, the citizenship question will be scrapped.

Whenever children try hard on there homework for Ixl, points are reducted at an alarming rate. It makes our children stressed which can lead to depression, stress, and exhaustion.

The tragedies of mass shootings must be confronted while respecting the Second Amendment.

Because we have been unjustly rewarded for our efforts in protecting the company's legacy!

We demand that the Florida Legislature Stand with Women and Families and: - Reject the $100 million additional in tax breaks for millionaires proposed in the House and Senate and instead invest in programs that support women, children, and families. - Stop financing Crisis Pregnancy Centers that lie to women about abortion services - Increase access to health care - Make housing more affordable - Don’t put more guns in our schools - Stop targeting immigrants and tearing apart families - Protect the wetlands that protect us - Stop attacks on unions and working families - Stop the attacks on our public school system

We are a group of students in a ninth grade history class, and we are concerned for our country. In order to secure our schools from shootings, we need gun control. We need to get people involved in spreading the word and create awareness all around. Not only does everybody need to work together to pass this law, but we also need to come to an agreement that using guns to harm others is extremely wrong and needs to be stopped. In order to do this, we need to enact stronger gun control laws across the nation. Overall we hope to raise awareness across America and hopefully get enough people involved that some kind of action is taken.

The NRA has used the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) to push its extreme agenda with legislators dating back to at least 1988. For more than two decades ALEC made the NRA's lobbying agenda a national priority, with legislators voting as equals with the NRA on "model" bills behind closed doors. In the wake of the Trayvon Martin tragedy and the spotlight on the ALEC-NRA "Stand Your Ground" law in 2012, ALEC sought to distance itself from the NRA. However, ALEC has yet to do anything to repeal or rollback any of the dangerous gun legislation that they helped push into law on behalf of the NRA, like the laws pre-empting cities from adopting common sense gun laws to provide greater protections for children and adults.

Seven Vermont legislators have signed a letter urging Burlington voters to vote “Yes” on ballot question #6 regarding the F35s. Sign the petition to stand with them, thank them, and ask your representatives to sign on in support of Yes on #6. See the letter below: We stand together in favor of Burlington’s ballot question #6 to oppose the basing of the F-35s at the Vermont Air National Guard. The issues are as follows: 1. Noise/Housing: The F-35 is over four times louder than the current F-16, which will put over 6,600 people’s home in a high decibel noise zone that the Federal Government classifies as unsuitable for residential use.1 2. Crash rate: The planes are still new and as such have an eight times higher crash rate than the F-16s. Typically the Air Force chooses a remote base for the new military aircraft. With 1,400 homes in the crash zone, we cannot take this risk. The current runway aims directly at the largest shopping area in Vermont with two dozen big box stores one mile away in Williston. This is not an abstract issue. In 1965, a military jet crashed in Williston. Fortunately, the area was an open field at the time so the casualties were limited to the two people on board.2 3. Jobs/Air Guard base closure: The Air Force has repeatedly stated that there were any number of other military aircraft for the VT Air Guard to fly if the F-35 did not come here. They would simply get another flying mission, as they have in the past. They could fly another fighter aircraft, or a military transport, or drones, or perform cybersecurity missions. And the jobs could increase. For example, the C-130 is a possibility and it needs three to five crew members per flight as opposed to one sole pilot for the F-35.3 4. Timeline: We know that it is not too late to take a stand and change the trajectory of this decision. Basing decisions have been reversed because of public outcry, congressional action, or legal action in Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, and Alaska.4 We urge you to vote yes on ballot question #6 to oppose the local basing of the F-35s. Thank you for joining this growing movement for a safer, quieter, mission. Read the whole letter here: http://www.pjcvt.org/seven-state-legislators-call-cancel-f-35-basing/
