Nonhuman animals are violently abused and slaughtered in the dairy and egg industries. Bees are killed in great numbers and are deprived of their food source (honey). Any individual exploited for their milk, eggs, or honey deserves moral consideration just as we provide for other human and nonhuman animals. At City O' City, every menu item, except for two, are animal-friendly or can be made animal-friendly. We are asking the restaurant to take the next step beyond a vegetarian menu and cut their ties with animal abusing companies in order to become the next eatery that provides exclusively nonviolent foods in Denver.

Extremists have no place guiding and determining the strategies and policies of the USA. When they do, they embolden people like Ku Kluxer David Duke who said in Charlottesville, Virginia, before Saturday’s violence, “We are determined to take our country back. We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in, that’s why we voted for Donald Trump." Sebastian Gorka, the bogus security advisor told Breitbart News Daily that white supremacists are not a problem. Stephen Miller inferred the Statue of Liberty is not a symbol of freedom and welcome. Steve Bannon promotes destructive theories of white nationalism and anti-stability of democratic government.

The recent acts of violence in Charlottesville, VA are only an example of how the White Supremacists have caused either direct harm, or threat of harm and in addition seriously disrupted the lives of innocent civilians and their places of residence or business. It is time for Congress to take swift and decisive action to prevent these groups from bringing further violence or disruption to this country. There should be an immediate Investigation into these groups and their actions in such places as Charlottesville. If necessary, those directly- or indirectly responsible for such violence should be indicted. Furthermore; state, local, and Federal locations should be directed to prevent the presence of such groups if it is shown there is a clear threat to the safety of innocent civiliians or that any disruption to their homes- or businesses or any other location.

This is not about stopping free speech. This is about protecting the citizenry from this murderous, violent, and unlawful group. Update: Sun pm - Thus far, there is no permit. Marty Walsh has made a statement that said that thus far the group that requested the permit- a different name from the Charlottesville group - has not completed the process for a permit.

What happened yesterday in Charlottesville VA was an act of terrorism, from the most dangerous group at work in the US today: the Alt-right. These terrorists must be held accountable.

Terrorism is defined as the use of violence or intimidation in pursuit of political aims. The events of August 12 in Charlottesville, VA, which left 3 people dead and dozens injured, were the result of terrorism and not "freedom of speech." Hundreds of armed white supremacists with assault rifles marching in a small American town is intimidation. The intentional killing of a pedestrian with a vehicle is murder. The chant of "blood and soil" is a call to genocide. None of the acts of August 12 constitute protected speech, but instead, terrorism. As an American citizen, a resident of Charlottesville, and VA5 constituent, I demand that Rep. Garrett introduce legislation in Congress placing all hate groups tracked by the SPLC in the FBI's terrorist watch list, and that Federal resources be devoted to monitor, prevent, and counter any and all terrorist activities arising from those groups. And I invite all my fellow Americans to demand their senators and representatives join in support of this legislation.

To enactment legislation that will end gerrymandering, and guarantee independent, fair, nonpartisan redistricting reform, immediately following the 2020 census.

As Virginians who want a pro-business, pro-equality future for Virginia, we need leaders who will move our Commonwealth forward.

Tell the government you will not stand for discrimination of our transgender military personnel.

Hank Williams, Jr used his previous platform as the show opener for Monday Night Football as a spring board for appearing all over the country denouncing human rights and racial equality issues. He was particularly insulting to President Obama, likening him to Hitler. It has been announced that ESPN is planning to bring him back to the program although he has never retreated from his bigoted commentary. We should demand that for the good of our country, as it tries to heal, he should not be returned to the public airways.

During his address to the 2017 National Scouting Jamboree, Donald Trump delivered a highly politicized and divisive speech that is against the patriotic spirit of the Boy Scouts of America. I am a proud Eagle Scout who was an active Scout for twelve years, from Tiger Scouting through Cub Scouting and into Boy Scouting. As someone with different political values than the current president, I found his remarks at the Jamboree to be alienating and the use of the Boy Scouts as a prop by him to be dispiriting.

Jasmine Shepard should have become the first Black valedictorian in 110 years at Cleveland High School in Mississippi. An amazing achievement considering that Cleveland, MS still has not fully complied with federal desegregation orders from Brown v. Topeka Board of Education. But Jasmine was denied this honor when she was forced to share it with a white student who did not qualify for it. Since filing a lawsuit against the school district a few weeks ago, Jasmine and her family have been the target of a torrent of racist and hateful messages. Messages that are too sickening and hateful to be shared here. This whole incident exemplifies the barriers that Black girls and women face - when we work twice as hard we get half the credit, and when we speak out about that unfairness we get flooded with hateful messages. Black girls know all too well that they must often navigate through a landscape that reinforces multidimensional stereotypes, discrimination, and debilitating narratives about their Black femininity. Recognizing Jasmine as the sole valedictorian is a small but crucial step to changing these harmful narratives about Black girls. Jasmine Shepard should be recognized for the incredible work she’s done to become the first Black student to ever earn valedictorian honors in Cleveland, Mississippi.
