We need to start using accurate language to describe automatic and semi-automatic weapons. They are used for war and for killing. They are not used to assault they are used to kill. When people are assaulted, they usually live. When automatic guns are used, people are killed. These are Killing Rifles.

The NRA has bought too many of our Congressional representatives, thwarting the broad public support for common-sense gun control.

The time IS NOW to fight back against the NRA-an organization that has been callous in its disregard for the rights of Americans to be protected against the terror of gun violence.

everyone is effected by the gun slinging culture promoted by the NRA.

The NRA is anything but a normal organization supporting sportsmen. They represent gun manufacturers and will do anything to sell more guns. Time & time again we are witness to carnage in our country because the NRA will not support reasonable laws to promote gun safety. VISA should not be a part of this.

I'm a New York City correction officer who was injured on the job so i know first hand what it like. Cut back on these foolish law suit settlement from dam inmates.

Donald J. Trump is unfit to hold this exalted office of our country. He has proven repeatedly he is incompetent and ignorant of our U.S. Constitution. He does not understand leadership for our people or for others across the entire globe. He is corrupt, greedy, and insensitive to the needs of our people. He is self absorbed beyond measure. And, the electoral college made a serious mistake allowing him to become president.

DACA excluded millions of immigrants who contribute to our economy, add value to our communities and are as American as Apple Pie. Leaving millions of our friends and family members to live in fear is cruel and only hurts us morally and economically. Fear of deportation and all the terrifying human rights abuse that comes along with our current system, is wrong. Immigration should not be based on a litmus test or reserved for only academics. Help me fight Human rights abuse, oppression, human trafficking and FOR- PROFIT detention centers. Sign this petition to demand common sense immigration laws. America is a nation of immigrants, that's our strength. That's what makes us different. Criminalizing people for wanting a free and happy life is not what this country stands for. Please sign and share this petition to demand our Federal Government protect all undocumented immigrants living here as of today. Those who work and sweat for this country should not be oppressed. We will not settle for another version of DACA that divides immigrants by class, education or any other arbitrary reason. Save The American Dream!

It is about the legal right of US citizens to get reunited with their families.

The Trump administration is pushing through a tax agenda that will benefit profitable corporations and wealthy individuals at the expense of low- and middle-income children and families. Meanwhile, the administration has fallen short in its response to the disaster in Puerto Rico. Congress missed the deadline to extend the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and is now attempting to attach Medicaid cuts to the bill in order to fund the Trump tax cuts. The pattern is clear. Our government should prioritize the needs of children and families, not corporations and the wealthiest individuals.

I'm furious about this. Have these people no mothers, daughters, wives, women friends? Do they not care about women's health at all? Do they have no sense of cause and effect, i.e. no birth control leads to more unintended pregnancies leads to more (back-alley) abortions. I read that the military spends millions of dollars on Viagra for its personnel, but the government won't fund this basic element of women's health care. ENOUGH.

Help Holy Cross Neighborhood Association Stop This: The Lower Nine needs progressive businesses and growth. Rebuilding our area should be a top priority for the Council, and Gas/Liquor Stores impede positive growth and create unsafe environments. Help stop the approval and come to the Council Meeting, Oct 12th. We are not in favor, and do not support, the Proposed Conditional Use of both the Gas Station Use and the Retail Sale of Alcohol Beverages Use at this location for the following reasons: • Gas Station developments do not help in revitalizing neighborhoods • Package Alcohol & Liquor Stores have documented negative Health and Safety effects on surrounding communities • Gas Stations have documented negative Environmental, Health, and Safety effects on surrounding Residential neighborhoods • 5330 St Claude is a corner site with significant potential for a dense, pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use development; this proposed development does not meet and is not compatible with this potential. • The Conditional Use Proposed does not match the Historic St Claude Main Street Corridor. It does not meet the requirements of the CZO and the Multiple Zoning Overlays on St Claude Avenue. • The proposed development and Conditional Use does not meet redevelopment goals for St Claude Ave as envisioned by our Community and the City of New Orleans in the many Community Planning Efforts post-Katrina. Sincerely, Mr. William Waiters, President Holy Cross Neighborhood Association [email protected]
