With the recent tragedies showing on the news there are a lot of cries for a heavy hand against gun control, but this nation does not want to see its police officers and national guard put into the line of fire by our fellow Americans. Instead of trying to limit freedom let us take a proactive step towards bettering our society. Over the years our state governments have eliminated the hospitals and treatment facilities where we used to place the people that did not fit in with our society. This used to be a way to protect the public as well as the individual. Some of these were mismanaged and shut down due to legal reasons, but many of these hospitals made great advancements for treating mentally unstable patients. Gun control is not the answer. The worst terrorist attack in the history of the world was carried out without a single gun. People that intend to do harm to others will find a way. We need to get back to the days of identifying these people and finding a treatment plan for them that involves keeping the community safe from them and vice versa. Our fathers never dealt with this sort of problem because they were intolerant of it. So join me in understanding that gun control will not fix the problem, but understanding the mentally unstable and creating environments to exist in safely is the way to stop these shootings from happening.

Because the safety of Natural Gas Operations have not been proven: We, the undersigned, are calling on Pennsylvania's Governor Corbett; New York's Governor Cuomo; Maryland's Governor O'Malley and President Obama to authorize the Susquehanna River Basin Commission to conduct a multi-state cumulative impact study of the effects of Natural Gas Operations on the water quality of the Susquehanna River. If the Governors believe in the safety of Gas Operations they should be willing to prove it.

The intersection of Springfield Avenue and Constantine Place in Union County is very dangerous to cars and pedestrians. The merging cars going west on Constantine Place never stop at the posted Stop sign.

Koch money shouldn't influence public television programming--we want to see the film "Citizen Koch" aired on PBS!

For millions of women and girls around the world, access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene education can mean the difference between health and sickness, safety and violence, and days spent working or learning in school and days spent gathering water for their families. To ensure access to water, sanitation, and hygiene education, I support the Paul Simon Water for the World Act of 2013. I hope you will too.

Remove the cap on Social Security payroll taxes.

We are petitioning the Press, U.S. and State Governments, and the Director of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Management and Statistics to re-state the Un-Employment Rate as the Employment Rate. By doing this, we desire to create a shift from typical negative reporting to more positive reporting on this key statistic which is too politicized.

The excessive CEO Pay needs to be criminalized

"Stop preventing people from bettering themselves and allow them a chance."

They say this Act is designed to fight terrorists. You don't defeat terrorists by adopting their tactics. I will be faithful to my calling to stand against these predators who would sell their birthright for a mess of pottage. Please, create and pass a bill, just like other states have, to prevent any state agency, employee or military member from aiding an agency of the US Armed Forces in the conduct of the investigation, prosecution, or detention of a United States citizen in violation of the United States Constitution, Constitution of Alabama, or any Alabama law or regulation.
