Steve Adams is seeking to become the next President as a write-in candidate. Adams is a software designer and part time UMC pastor from Ohio. He is currently a registered Republican, according to his web site www.presidentadams.com, while his wife is a Democrat.
Mr. Adams took the time to answer some questions for Conservative President 2008. The following are CP08's questions and his replies.
1. Why are you running for President?
Simply put, I love my country. I am running to be able to make the most difference here that I can make. I am striving to reach a position where I can make the right choices where others will not; focusing on the issues and problems that we face as a nation instead of politics, payback, and power struggles.
2. What do you see as the biggest problem with the two major parties?
The biggest problem with the two parties is that together they cannot be one effective government. They cannot focus on the issues because they are too busy arguing and positioning and scheming to gain power for their party. They are hamstrung by addiction to money and power, the desire to keep contributors happy, to keep their party members happy, to look good for the press and not do what is best for the people they serve. It is a shameful state of our nation that most of our elected officials today are only the ones that could buy or sell their way in. They have either raised millions of dollars to fund their campaigns or arrive in Washington only to owe the people who put them there.
3. Do you consider yourself to be a social and fiscal conservative?
I am a social conservative, but it needs to be noted that I do not believe that my conservative views must be forced on the country. There are certainly places where they will intersect, but those must be at points of law and not morality. I discuss several of these issues on my web site - http://www.presidentadams.com/ - on the "Issues" page.
I am also a fiscal conservative. A balanced budget, with no pork is mandatory. If a Constitutional amendment is not passed to require such a budget, my veto will force it to be as such. Federal funding and therefore taxes will be limited to only what the Federal government needs to do, and that which only the Federal government (as opposed to state or local governments) can do.
4. What is one of the biggest problems you believe is facing America atthis time?
All the problems I have mentioned so far lead to a nation with failing health. We certainly have pockets of growth and greatness, but overall our government faces a stalemate between the two major parties that paralyzes us from moving forward to fix the problems to make life better for us all. I will bring this need for unity to Washington. I will encourage elected officials from every party to join me to work for America and not for any group with a label. If they resist this call and decide to fight as normal, they will face frequent veto. Historically vetoes have only been overridden 7% of the time. In the worse case, this will in itself force the Congress to work together...against me.
5. Do you think that you can win the presidency as a write-in candidate?
Absolutely. I am not in this race to finish second, to make a point, or to be a spoiler - taking votes away from some other candidate. I am here to win. I am not foolish enough to think this is an easy task. But taking advantage of the power of internet and capitalizing on the widespread disillusionment with incumbents, scandals, and "politics as usual", I am in this race to finish first.
6. If another candidate with similar views as yours were to arise, wouldyou consider dropping out of the race?
While that would not be my first plan, I know never to say never. If another compatible candidate arose, I would pursue options of working together, coming along side to help, but not simply abandoning the race.

Presidential Candidate Adams Answers Questions
Posted by Ben Miller at 4:10 PM
Labels: Adams, Interviews
4 comments:
Adams should join forces and be an advisor to Daniel Imperato's campaign. Someone who's got more media attention, money, resources, and is more charismatic.
- PresidentAdams said...
A 3 minute interview with FOX News is now available at www.PresidentAdams.com.
Another interview with Steve Adams is listed at WhoShouldBePresident.com.
Second is the question of appointing Supreme Court nominees. The answer is no, I will not have a "litmus test" of a pro-life judge. Overturning Roe v. Wade is not my goal.
Then you won't get my vote.

Comments On Feb 11, 2014:Used this for adjusting spring on KTM's. I am so glad I bought this. What a piece of cake. Loosen lock screw, insert this and twist the spring. Easy as could be. I love Enduro Engineering stuff and RM is the best.

Comments On Oct 15, 2013:This tool makes adjusting the spring pre-load very easy with the shock installed. The shape and engagement of the jaw is a perfect fit for the stock shock spring collar.

Comments On Mar 28, 2013:Never could make this wrench work...Jaws willnot grab the preload ring(s) as needed....Worst product I ever bought from RM....Would like a refund...Very disappointed
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jan 27, 2013:A reviewer mentioned that this tool should be steel. I don't think it matters, because the aluminum is fairly strong and does the job just fine. I had to change my shock this weekend and had no problems at all with the Enduro Eng product. If it was shaped a bit longer with the KTM angle, it might be even better.

Do your kitties need a 'catio'?
If you build it yourself, a cat enclosure can be an inexpensive way to keep your felines happy. And you want to keep them happy.
We could dismiss the latest "catio" craze story in The New York Times as just another waste of money on pets.
Except that we have cats. And we have a catio of sorts, a small screened porch built by the previous owner for humans. Living in a small space with cats, we can't tell you how valuable that tiny porch is. But the felines really want a bigger one.
While you can spend hundreds of dollars on ready-made cat enclosures or kits to create them, you can build your own catio using common, inexpensive materials.
All the latest cat literature tells you that cats should be strictly indoor pets. Keeping them inside keeps them safe from predators, such as dogs and coyotes, as well as from other cats, plus it keeps wild birds safe from the cats. But if your cats, like mine, have not read all the literature -- or have chosen to disregard it -- you may need a catio.
Because if the cat's not happy, ain't nobody happy. A bored cat will leap onto the computer keyboard and attempt to insert typographical errors into Smart Spending posts.
- Bing: Cat enclosures
If you want to build an enclosure for your cats, first look at your space.
Kate Benjamin at Catio Showcase built a great enclosure at her condo with metal roofing and screening. Her blog also includes pictures and descriptions of other types of cat enclosures.
At her other blog, Modern Cat, she has details on other DIY projects to make your cats happy. Building your own cat furniture and perches is often much cheaper than buying them ready-made.
We were intrigued by the resourcefulness of the New Yorkers quoted by the Times in adapting their apartment balconies for cat enclosures, though we fear that many condo associations and management companies in other cities wouldn't tolerate that kind of modification. The Times story also has a list of resources at the end.
At Apartment Therapy, a blog that celebrates living in small spaces, readers were enthusiastic about the Times' take on creating cat-friendly outdoor spaces in apartments. A reader named "STH" wrote about her easy, DIY catio for a rental apartment:
My sister and I stapled strips of screening to a a long board, screwed it to the overhang over my balcony, then stapled the hanging ends of the screening to another long board that I just set on the floor of the balcony. If the cats had really wanted to, they could have gotten between the strips of screening where I overlapped them, but they never had much interest in doing so. They loved that balcony and spent all their time there when the weather was good. And the screening also kept most of the bugs out, making the balcony a lot more comfy for me as well.
Another easy and inexpensive way to create a semi-outdoor enclosure for your cats is to open the garage door and screen the opening, as demonstrated in this DIY Network post. Garages that doubled as screened porches were common in Florida in the days before air conditioning, and you can buy screens that will fit a garage door opening if you don't want to make your own.
Living in a house with a yard, our catio strategy at our previous home was to turn the entire backyard into a cat enclosure. If your yard is already fenced, it's a simple and fairly inexpensive project.
We took this list of materials to our local hardware store and were able to buy everything for a 100-by-40-foot backyard for less than $100. For another $100, we hired someone to build the "cat fence" on top of our existing chain-link fence. Because the plastic deer fencing is flimsy, cats can't get hold of it to climb out. You may need extra barriers and reinforcement under and around gates.
For $200, we had a way to keep the cats out of our hair, give them a chance to get exercise and keep them home and out of the neighbors' yards. This enclosure doesn't keep out burrowing animals such as possums, and it doesn't keep the cats away from birds. It also wasn't hurricane-resistant, and the deer fencing was damaged over time by runaway foliage. But it was also easy to repair sections.
Depending on where you live, letting your cat go outside could cost you in flea medication, which can run $10-plus per month per cat (I usually apply it every two months). In warm climates, even indoor cats often need flea prevention medication, so letting them outside or onto a screened porch doesn't cost any more where I live.
While we are waiting to move to a permanent home in which we'll again turn the backyard into a cat enclosure, the resident felines have to be satisfied with a small screened porch and short supervised visits to the backyard.
They seem to be coping with the need to keep expenses down. Two are currently napping in flat cardboard document boxes under a window. Sometimes the best pet items are free.
It's time for true confessions: What have you done to make your pets happy? Any DIY tips on pet furniture or other gadgets? Or money-saving tips for keeping down the cost of pet ownership?

Series: Evolution Basics (48 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
God invites us to understand his power and nature through studying what has been made.
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
But what I heard on Sundays did not seem to fit with what I experienced of the world the rest of the week. Growing up in New Mexico in the cottonwood bosque of the Rio Grande valley provided everything for a kid to become a biologist. I roamed along the river, cooked over cottonwood fires, ate wild asparagus, watched clouds form thunderheads over the distant peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
Learning about science has taught me humility about my Bible reading and it has pushed me to think again, to read again, to ask again, and to wonder all over again what the Bible was saying when it was written and how the Bible was heard to its original hearers (so far as the evidence permits us to know such things).
This week in origins news, a great collection of articles by key players in the conversation about theology and science, a surprising science fair discovery, and the Apollo 11 anniversary!
We don't have all the answers and never will. And when God says that he is revealed in his creation, I think that means we need to take care of what we have and understand where we came from. The more I understand how things work, the bigger God gets. When he was just a magician pulling things out of a hat, that doesn't even compare to how I see him now!
Last year I introduced readers to one of the leading voices about Christianity and science, John Polkinghorne. I also helped BioLogos bring in another leading voice, Robert Russell. This new series introduces a third prominent Christian thinker, Lutheran theologian Ted Peters, Research Professor Emeritus in Systematic Theology and Ethics at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, the Center for Theology and the Natural Sciences (http://www.ctns.org/), and the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley, California.
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
We are interactive human beings with a capability and a need to connect with others. Those connections can be through electronic or written means but nothing can replace the need for direct personal engagement. Our annual meetings continue to provide that interaction in an environment of open discussion and often vigorous debates.
Most Christian students have a lot of questions about evolution and the other controversies, but are afraid to ask them for fear of the adults gasping in horror. The right way for a Christian teacher to proceed is to accommodate questions, foster inquiry, and encourage students to think and engage with the issues.
Children's books are more than stories. They can become familiar narratives children listen to over and over. So it's worth asking - Are the books we're reading doing a good job of portraying God and His Creation?
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
For my part, the historical setting of the text plays an important role in how I read. It's not a problem in my view to see the authors of Genesis embedded in their times, writing in the scientific/mythological terms they knew, even if those terms are now obsolete.
"There are clues in a text as to how the text should be written, so with Genesis, the rhythmic nature of Genesis 1 and 2, the almost poetic, and hymnic, function that it would have played in the liturgy of the earliest Jewish lives… it seems to me that there are clues here that it should be read in a theological way."
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.

JAX Magazine: The free PDF magazine powered by JAXenter!
After a brief summer break to recharge the batteries, Java Tech Journal is back, replenished to give you some insight into what is hot in the Java ecosystem. The more perceptive of you may have noticed a new structure for this, the August issue. Last month's cross-section of news, features and other little tidbits are still here, but from now on, instead of focusing on one specific topic, we've broken down the barriers. Now anything goes. What does this mean for you the reader? Well, more of the same hopefully. You'll still get the top tricks and tips from the best in the industry, for using the technologies that you know and love. Along the way, you might learn something new, too. For our first foray, we've assembled a great lineup. Jason Lee kicks us off with a handy guide to getting the most pluggable Java EE apps around, utilising the world of JAX-RS, OSGi, and more. Next up is Nicolas Fränkel, introducing us to the modern web framework currently making big waves, Vaadin. He'll show us how easy it is to get the power out of Vaadin 7, complete with validation. Finally, we've got a first part of ZeroTurnaround's Pragmatic Continuous Delivery Tutorial, demonstrating the best way to truly get Jenkins, LiveRebel et al. all tuned up for the deployment pipeline. Also this month, we look further into that decision to delay Project Jigsaw, Java's long-awaited module system, and ask whether it was the right call for the platform as we know it. We chat to Mark Little about the latest JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 release and take you on a whirlwind tour of the Hadoop vendors and who has edged in front in Big Data's own version of Game of Thrones. So sit back with a cold drink and enjoy the (hopefully) sunny weather where you are whilst perusing this issue – and most importantly, enjoy!

"We've got all kinds of religions that want a bible club! We're very diverse! We've got Methodists, Pentecostals, Baptists, Catholics... and more I am probably missing! You'll find all those religions in the club."

At the beginning of a discussion in a Church, with a veteran Christian apologist (I wish I could find a link) he ask the mostly Christian crowd to think about something. He asked them to think about what it would take for them to change their mind and decide there was no God. This was Dave's ace in the hole.

A Double Oven that Cooks More and Cleans Faster
6.1 cu. ft. Capacity Gas Double Oven Range with EasyClean™ and IntuiTouch™ Controls
- Easy Clean™ Cleaning Feature
- Maximum Usable Cooktop Space in a Gas Double Oven
- Large Capacity Gas Oven (6.1 cu. ft.)
- EvenJet™ Convection System
$1799.99Suggested Price
Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 140 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by BSStone Gas Cooking Is The Greatest We switched from electric to gas, and do we love it! It is so much easier to control the exact burner temperature needed. The double oven is wonderful -- the upper oven handles most of our needs; the lower oven (using convection) handles all the rest. Try grilling a steak on the griddle -- you'll love it. September 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by My new Range! LG Gas Double Oven Love my new LG gas range. Cooks everything evenly. One can view their food cooking at a glance and love the sweet musical alarm when the food is done. The only complaint I would have and it isn't much is adjusting the heat. That feature could be a little more user friendly. September 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by deb57 Easy to use I was very happy to be going back to a gas range after years of electric and I am not disappointed. I havent' had time to use all the features that are packed into this range but I am working on it. It is cooking like a dream and I am enjoying every minute of it. We use the small oven the most as we are a small family but using the large oven is good for bread baking and large items with the convection feature. Even my husband is able to use this range easily and he is pretty challenged when it comes to electronics! August 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MG Love the double oven feature This oven offered everything I was looking for in an oven for an affordable price. I have always wanted a double oven and could not be more pleased with this purchase. August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by khoward High Quality / High Design I bought this product to replace a 20+ year old wall oven and cooktop. It works great and looks great - and I love having two ovens. August 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rob Product Features We're still getting used to this new appliance. Never cooked with convection before so there is some experimenting to do. Maintenance of the surfaces is more involved compared to our old appliances. I love that it tells me when the oven is at it's preheat temp. No more guessing. Planning ahead for pan size is important if you're going to have multiple burners in use at the same time. It's a tight fit. I'm disappointed the broiler pan is an accessory and was not included with the Range. We're trying to train ourselves to pull out the rack in the lower oven if we want to check things. Otherwise you have to sit on the floor to work with whatever is inside. August 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by navy89 Great gas range. I saw this online and I pretty much bought this sight unseen. I like the double oven a lot. I could not believe how even this oven bakes. I was nervous about the digital settings for the ovens but once I got used to using the controls I have been extremely satisfied. I would recommend this oven to anyone. I also am impressed with the five burners . August 4, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Isobel Oven temperatures are wrong and burners are stupid The burners don't cook evenly and the flames are stronger on one side. Really? This is so stupid. Consistent cooking should be the first feature of a stove. The lower oven is even worse. Set at 325 for a Chiffon Cake. 20 minutes after reaching the temp, it went very high and it burnt the top! I have been baking for 30 years and I know how 325 looks like. Going to buy an oven thermometer. I had an LG electric in my condo and it worked much better Huge disappointment. I hope I can send it back! August 3, 2014

Mazes and labyrinths are more part and parcel of our culture than people realise. Their roots can be traced back to Greek mythology and Paganism, where they were regarded as mystical. It wasn't until a few hundred years ago that mazes were designed for fun (sadists), and often became a perfect meeting place for secret lovers and cunning planners. Over time they have become associated with entrapment and enclosure as our imaginations run wild.
We've found some of the world's largest, craziest and highest mazes so you can loose yourself in the great tangled weave of the web for a while. They're simply quite a-maze-ing.

By J. DeVoy
In China, you must visit your aged parents "often" – a term intentionally bereft of definition – or they may sue you. Source.
Elderly Chinese parents, feeling ignored or neglected by their children, may now sue their spawn if they feel they do not receive enough attention. Depending on how the law is written, "feelings" – including weak and hypersensitive ones – may dictate liability for young people who have better things to do.
I would not be surprised to see this law adapted in some way in the United States. Already, Boomer-controlled companies are complaining that school debt-saddled youngs aren't forking over enough money for their inferior products. Without young people to buy houses and inflate the value of the primary nest-egg investment of middle-aged and older people, old people are going to have trouble generating revenue later in life. When all else fails, why wouldn't they sue their children?
The Chinese legislation was passed based on a small handful of sensational examples – such as a woman living in a pig pen – within a country of more than 1 billion people. To China, America is a rounding error. Thus, the problem, while sensationally framed, likely is statistically insignificant – and likely even more irrelevant here. Yet, if the media starts pushing the elder abuse meme in America, I would expect similarly punitive "neglect" laws enacted in some states, if not federally.

Will Amazon shutter supermarkets?
Right now, you can use the site's grocery service only in Seattle and LA, but look out if it expands.
I live less than a block from a Safeway (SWY) grocery store and a stone's throw from three Whole Foods Market (WFM) locations.
However, over the weekend, I used Amazon.com (AMZN) to conduct the bulk of our weekly grocery shopping.
As I explained earlier this month, after a lengthy trial in the Seattle area, Amazon has made Fresh grocery service available throughout large swaths of the Los Angeles area (TheStreet). That includes my zip code -- and others -- in Santa Monica.
"Fresh" works as part of your "Prime" membership. After a free three-month trial, you agree to pay $299 a year for Prime -- as opposed to the current rate of $79 -- and you receive free delivery on all Amazon Fresh orders greater than $35.
As I expected, Amazon Fresh delivers the same quality experience we have come to expect from the traditional Amazon ordering process. Efficient. Speedy. Well-executed. And it absolutely competes on price.
I probably don't look at price tags as much as I should, but it appeared to me that everything we ordered was priced the same as, or less than, what we pay at Safeway. And almost always less -- no surprise -- than what we pay at Whole Foods. I don't routinely buy groceries at Target (TGT) and never go to Walmart (WMT), but I presume Amazon is in their ballpark.
My wife commented that what we got a lot more for the $55 or so we paid Amazon than she did on a quick weekend trip to Safeway where she dropped $47. Plus, you also get a bunch of free bottled water, which leads to my only gripe with Amazon Fresh.
I chose "Doorstep Delivery," which means the driver leaves your order at your door. To ensure everything arrives and stays fresh, Amazon loads collapsable styrofoam containers with frozen bottles of water (safe to drink) and, in one instance, a bit of dry ice. That makes for a lengthy unloading process. Plus, I have to store two of the bags, bulked up with the styrofoam, in my small apartment until the next delivery.
I assume -- and hope -- if I opt for "Attended Delivery," meaning the driver knocks on my door and I must be present to accept the order, there will be less packing material. Seems to me milk, produce and the like can survive just fine in insulated bags using this method. But I don't know how long the distribution process takes, so we'll see.
But this much is certain, I can see myself using Fresh on a regular basis. Probably weekly. I won't stop going to Safeway (it's convenient), Whole Foods or Trader Joe's (they both have items Amazon doesn't and provide fairly good brick-and-mortar experiences), but each store will receive less money from me. This process is not at all dissimilar to what has happened between Amazon and bookstores, electronics retailers and much of the rest of physical retail.
And Amazon is smart. Jeff Bezos obviously learned from Webvan's experience. While Webvan probably would have died anyway (it didn't have the scale or ability to subsidize the grocery business like Amazon does), it tried to expand way too fast for its own good (not all that different from Netflix (NFLX)).
So Amazon will continue its move into groceries slowly. It will develop best practices to get customers to include something other than groceries -- or high-margin grocery items -- with their Fresh orders. And over time, as the program expands, Amazon might just eat away at the revenue of traditional grocers and the superstores, stealing just enough business from each to make it one of the, if not the, dominant player in the space.
More from TheStreet.com
You've got to be kidding right ??
All I see is no accountability of the products being sold....Age, source, etc.
There are grocers today that will deliver for small fee, sometimes only tips.
Probably depends on amount(spent/cost) of delivery...And distance.
It was quite common years ago, such as pizza delivery today.

ZILDJIAN A Custom Crash CymbalThe Zildjian A Custom Crash is natural and bright with great overtones. It delivers the modern, sophisticated sound you expect from the world leader in cymbal manufacturing. Developed with the assistance of Vinnie Colaiuta, A Custom Cymbals are made using radical rotary hammering techniques; thin weights; and a striking, brilliant finish for crisp, sweet, sophisticated sound.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
The A Custom line of cymbals from Zildjian offers the discerning drummer a palate of sound that is both colorful and user-friendly. The A Customs provide a shimmering sound that is bright, expressive, and recognizable. They respond quickly, have a medium sustain, and provide a wide range of sound from the bell to lip (edge). Attack is immediate. These are not "effects" cymbals, though; they are the "workhorses" of your set and will provide the "go-to" sound needed to compliment virtually any style of music. Despite being medium weight, the A Customs have proven durability and will provide clear, articulate tone day in and day out. The A Customs come in a polished finish which adds an eye-candy effect to your set. As with any polished finish, constant use (especially with nylon tipped sticks), humidity, and time can dull the appearance. The A Customs clean easily. If you're looking for a sophisticated, modern sound that is never too dark and can be applied across a wide variety of musical genres, then A Custom cymbals should be a component in your kit's wall of sound.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

Asked for a reaction to Friday's statement from the NRA that on-site armed security officials should be installed in every American school by next month, a grassroots organization out of Newtown said its core mission remains unchanged.
"Newtown United stands with the children, the teachers, the community, and the families touched by the massacre of innocent lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14," Rob Cox, a spokesperson for Newtown United, told Patch in an email.
"We are united with the country to drive national efforts to turn the tide on gun violence," Cox continued. "We are dedicated to ensuring the senseless act of violence that occurred in Newtown is never repeated."
The National Rifle Association broke its weeklong silence following the horrific shooting of 26 people last week in Sandy Hook and called for a surge of gun-carrying "good guys" around American schools.
NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre called for a new kind of American domestic security revolving around armed civilians, arguing that "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
The statements came about 90 minutes after Newtown and much of the nation observed a moment of silence for the 20 schoolchildren and six adults killed during the Dec. 14 shooting. It also came at a time when voices for gun control are steadily rising. On Friday morning before the press conference, President Obama released a video citing a petition by hundreds of Americans calling for swift action.
LaPierre also railed against violent video games, accusing the media of selling "violence against its own people" through violent video games, music videos and "blood-soaked" films. He did not take questions from reporters, and did not acknowledge the protesters.
Suzy DeYoung, a parent coach and Newtown resident for nine years who has three children, said LaPierre was playing to people's fears.
"People are much smarter than this," DeYoung said. "He is saying we need to be protected from guns by more guns. This lack of logic speaks for itself, and I truly believe the response you are abut to see from parents all around the world will offer better commentary than I ever could."
Joanna Zachos, a mother in Sandy Hook, said that while she supports an increase in gun control and personally does not believe in guns at all, that the larger problem goes "way beyond that."
"The problem we have is our immunity to violence as a society as a whole," she said. "Violent video games, violent movies, addiction to horror films. We've developed immunity to violence and violent images."
Zachos said she worried about taking her children to the mall during Halloween because they'd be exposed to troubling images. And she said that after Friday's shooting, she'd be even more careful.
"Going forward, I feel i'm going to have ask people, 'Do you have a gun?' before we go for a playdate," she said.
"We have police to protect this community," she said. "If someone wants to keep something, one small thing that will make them feel safe, that's their prerogative. But there's no need for semi-automatic weapons at home. None. Absolutely none."
Patch Editor John Ness contributed to this report.

My little brother is graduating from college this month. And like any recent grad, he's concerned about finding a job. Having myself graduated in May 2009, directly after the economic collapse, I can definitely relate to the struggles recent grads go through when trying to find a job. While the job market is much brighter for a college graduate now than it was for me, it's still a struggle to stand out from the rest of the competition.
I began to think about things I wish I knew when graduating and I realized that my advice was exactly the same advice I give to businesses that are concerned about building an online presence. It hit me that the same things businesses and companies do to stand out from their competitors are the same things college grads (or any job seeker) should do to help them look better to potential employers.
With the majority of employers now using Google, Facebook and LinkedIn to get a sneak-peak at job candidates, it's more important than ever to leverage your online sites in your favor. Not only should you double check all your privacy settings and have a professional appearance, but you should also make it easier for employers to find you. But not just you, exactly what you want them to know about you.
So how can you do that? Here are four ways:
1. Think of yourself as a "Brand"
When you're looking for a job, you're advertising yourself as a potential employee. So why not start thinking of yourself as a "brand"? Take a look at what successful brands you know are already doing online and copy it.
One of the first things you'll notice is that they have a consistency across all their sites. To copy that, make all your profile pictures the same (and professional!) and write a similar bio on each of your social sites. Also, make sure your name is written the same way on each (whether its John Doe, John F. Doe or John Forest Doe, just pick one!)
2. Optimize your profiles for search
While many people associate this with websites and Google, it's possible to do this with your social media sites as well. With LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook utilizing their search features, it's even more crucial to optimize your profile so it comes up in searches by employers.
To do this, decide what position or industry you want to get into. Then, try to implement it as much as possible in the text of your social media site – depending of course on how much the site allows you to write. So whether you put "Budding #chemicalengineer" in your Twitter bio or write "chemical engineer" at least once in each section of your LinkedIn profile (as well as the titles), you'll be upping your chances of coming up first in searches for your dream position.
3. Take advantage of skills you already have
Do you like writing? Or maybe talking about sports? Maybe you really enjoy photography? Finding a hobby you enjoy and utilizing it online is a fun way to stand out from the crowd.
For example, say you really want to get into fashion and love taking pictures. You could start a Tumblr where you share pictures of your daily outfits or of fashion you see on the street that inspires you. This will not only help you stand out online, but will also let you gain experience, stay on top of emerging trends in your field and add loads of value to your resume!
4. Get the word out to your friends and family
Once you do get your blog or podcast rolling, don't forget to tell people about it! Take advantage of your newly branded social media sites and start pushing you and your content out there! Get your friends and family on board and have them share your stuff to help spread the word. The more people become aware of your stuff, the quicker you can grow a fan base and gain the attention of employers!
Warning: Your new online "hobby" may become so successful and so fun, that you might not even need to find a job! You might have just created your own full-time position and become your own CEO! (I know this from experience.)
