we must ban all weapons in the country, as great britain has done. no matter who the person might be, no guns must be issued unless it is the police. in great britain, however, their cops do not carry guns.

As a citizen and constituent of this great country, I am asking that you take a firm stand and make a positive change by restricting access to guns and saving lives.

Protect our children, please give money to the public school system!!

We, the citizens of these great United States of America, DEMAND a FEDERAL law that requires ALL gun dealers (including ALL private dealers) in all establishments of sales (including ALL gun shows or expo's) run full background checks on any and all people looking to purchase any type of firearm. One standard law for all States in the Union. This must be a federal law because individual states cannot, and will not do it on there own. We must start making all gun laws encompass all states.

To ensure a healthy future for our planet, our children, and ourselves, the US government must take steps to nationalize the coal and oil industries and gradually redistribute jobs and investments to renewable energy industries.

World climatologist of the UN, The World Bank, Bill McKibben and Al Gore among many other great scientists worldwide have said we have only about 16 years to save the habitable planet from climate crisis catastrophe caused by global warming if we divest in dirty energy now. The U.S. is the only country in the world where the damage done by burning fossil fuels that produce carbon emissions and global warming, leading to extreme weather, is debated. We the people demand that our government divest in fossil fuel development now. If all the fossil fuels already stored and ready for burning on the planet, are distributed and used, the habitable planet cannot be saved. This is the warning that scientists worldwide, as well as The World Bank study, offer. Millions of tons of poisonous pollution are dumped into our atmosphere and into our lungs everyday, causing asthma, lung and other diseases, yet many of the multinaitonal fossil fuel corporations pay little taxes for the good or health of the nation. It's time to get tough with these "robber-baron" polluters. Divest in fossil fuels now and invest in geothermal, solar and wind energies that are clean and renewal and can help create jobs for our nation while supplying all our energy needs. Climate crisis catastrophe is here now with floods caused by super storms worldwide and droughts in farmlands everywhere. The World Bank has published a study showing how the continued burning and development of fossil fuels including oil, gas and coal will destroy the world economy. Each distructive super storm or drought caused by global warming and fossil fuel pollution is costing multibillions of tax dollars, bankrupting FEMA and creating millions of climate refugees every year. We want to save the habitable planet for ourselves and our children. When the glaciers, already over a third melted, are gone, the great rivers will dry up and become unable to irrigate farmlands. We must address climate crisis emergency now by divesting in fossil fuels. We demand taxes on carbon emissions, and development of clean renewable energy now. Divest in development of oil, natural gas and coal. There is no such thing as clean burning of any fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are counterproductive to life and the economy. There is no economic excuse for not taxing carbon emissions and divesting in dirty energy. There is only more death, climate refugees and monumental cost to be derived from dirty energy.

As a gay American I am concerned about LGBT community rights and the fair and equal treatment of us and our constitutional right to be married in American.

Make all elected apportioned political seats be determined by an impartial committee using impartial computer models that create regular shape and equal as possible in geographic area and in population.

Lobbying should be outlawed. Period. One person, one vote. In addition, all campaign contributions should be disclosed and limited to single individuals with tax ID's. Since it appears that this will never occur as long as the legislators who are responsible for such a bill's passage are "on the take", I am proposing a NATIONAL REFERENDUM, popular vote, in other words, to keep the conflicts of interests in check. An exercise in direct democracy.
