The recent mass shootings in Las Vegas, one of the deadliest in our history not related to war.

After Orlando, we un-successfully petitioned Metro to eliminate gun shows. We were told that ending shows would push the problem to other jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction should consider the problem. I am saddened and angered by the mass shootings and everyday gun violence that we as a society can choose to stop. Now, we can act. By eliminating gun shows, we send a clear message that we want to be part of the multiple levels of solutions required to end this epidemic in our country.

I don't have to be personally impacted by gun violence in order to have concern for others who have. If I can protect my loved ones ahead of an incident, then, my actions will have been effective.

Almost weekly you see headlines about gun violence. Immediately each side start shouting the usual arguments. But what are the facts. For years, scientists have been forbidden to gather the information to make rational decisions that can effect the lives of every US citizen.

There are insufficient regulations, laws or licensure to keep mentally healthy, law abiding citizens safe from weapons of mass destruction, which is what automatic, semi automatic and assault weapons are in the hands of the public. The congress has proven unable to provide for the general public safety on this issue and the public must take action!

The opioid epidemic is hurting real people: every 10 minutes, a mother, child, friend, neighbor, or fellow American dies from a drug overdose. Yesterday, Donald Trump declared the opioid crisis a national emergency—more than two months after he first committed to the declaration, and potentially more than 10,000 overdoses later. But without significant new funds for a long-term, comprehensive strategy for both prevention and treatment, a national emergency alone is not likely to be successful.

Sussex County is asking the public to offer feedback on a multi-million-dollar project to create a sports complex that would serve youth and adults in southern Delaware, beginning as early as the spring of 2019. County officials received a presentation by the Sussex Sports Center Foundation on Sept. 26, 2017, that envisions a new public facility – for residents and visitors to Sussex County – featuring soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, and touch football fields, pickleball courts, playground equipment, as well as walking and cross-country trails, just off Sand Hill Road in the Town of Georgetown. The complex would serve youth clubs, local schools, and adult recreation leagues, as well as the general public. Proposed as a public-private partnership, the foundation members have asked Sussex County to provide $1.5 million in financial support for the $4.4 million project, with the option to eventually take over ownership of the athletic and recreation complex. In addition to financial support, the project must receive land use approval from the Town of Georgetown. To learn more about the proposal, view the information packet at: https://sussexcountyde.gov/sites/default/files/PDFs/Sussex_Sports_Center_092617.pdf.

Officials in Philadelphia have announced plans to use 100% renewable energy to power city properties by 2030, along with goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions from buildings and reduce energy use from the built environment. The Municipal Energy Master Plan is an initiative to help Philadelphia meet the goals of the Paris Climate Accord, an agreement within the UN framework to combat greenhouse gas emissions. Located in Philadelphia, Drexel University (DU) is a private institution that is in a unique position to demonstrate this new found commitment to a clean city. The fleet is relativley small and the postive impacts are huge! If it chooses to act as a climate leader DU will become the first institution in the Philadelphia area to operate an entirely electric bus fleet. #CleanAirCantWait #PointofPride

NO one should ever be treated the way people are treated when sent to Plymouth on a section . They are NOT inmates that are people who need help with substance abuse . Guards have no right to treat them any less . We need to help them instead of knocking them down further and major changes need to happen before more kids die. We must demand change, and Plymouth needs to be investigated .

Donald Trump has created a disturbing, negative effect on American politics and the society itself. His influence on our country must be stopped since it's continuation will very likely lead to yet more destructive results.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We must stop the SHUSH Act from becoming law! The public should be able to attend concerts, sporting events, or other large gatherings without having to worry about a madman with an assault rifle and a SILENCER! In the latest mass shooting in Las Vegas, with at least 50 killed, people could HEAR the gun shots, and were warned there was an active shooter from the noise. There is no logic to enabling silencers, and yet the #CorruptGOP led Congress is set to once again do the NRA's bidding. NO to the SUSH ACT!

The mass killings in Las Vegas.
