This is not a time for talk about gun control-it's the time to take action & save the lives of other children.

We must honor the memories of these innocent children by taking action immediately. The President can and should lead.

Every year there are only about 200 legally justified self-defense homicides by private citizens compared with over 30,000 gun deaths.

The 5,740 US kids were killed by guns in 2008-09 (8/day) would fill 229 classes of 25 kids each.

Among 23 populous, high-income countries, 80% of all firearm deaths occurred in the United States.

My thoughts and prayers are with the parents, families and school employees in Newtown, CT who are confronting an unspeakable tragedy.

Going over the cliff would be disastrous for US economy & around the globe. My MSNBC interview w/ .@rihcardlui:

While solution is negotiated, Congress should : protect middleclass families & small biz from tax increase

scandal continues: on top of rape & sexual assaults, cadets forced to drink toilet water. No place in military for heinous conduct

Remember the bailout of AIG? $182B was spent to prop up AIG. W/ sale of stock, taxpayers will recover ALL money & $22B in Profits

My heartfelt condolences over the loss of , a super star, a role model, and above all, a mother who fought for .

Parents, do you know which websites & smartphone apps are tracking & collecting personal info on your children? NYT:

Colin Powell supports ending restrictions 4 military women. Why should they have < health benefits than other fed female workers?
