Black Americans own only 10 television stations, less than 1% of the 1,774 stations across the entire country. Why? Because in the 1990s, Congress struck down key FCC reforms meant to promote diverse media ownership, and the FCC hasn't acted to restore them. A diverse media ecosystem is vital to a democratic society and necessary to make sure all points of view are shown on the public’s airwaves. We, the people, own the airwaves, and lease them to corporations through the FCC – demand that our public airwaves are as diverse as the public!

Pennsylvania just gave citizens the option to register to vote online – a common-sense reform that every state should adopt. Instead of filling out forms and waiting in line you can register from your computer or smartphone – an easy, cost-efficient way to get more people registered to vote. Democracy works better when everyone is involved. This is one step in the right direction! Every state should follow Pennsylvania's lead and enact online voter registration.

LGBT people are being refused their right to marry. The right to religious freedom does not extent into positions of public service. The Clerk's argument was made by George C. Wallace (then-governor) back in 1963 during the integration of African American students in the state of Alabamba. It didn't work then; it won't work now. Let's have some respect for the position and remove her from office, please.

Take Donald Trump to international court and trial him send him to jail. Now. For violating the first amendment and endangering children and provoking an dangerous environment. America has outstanding for her diverse cultures. French, Italian, English, African American, Chinese etc. It is called the land of freedom justice for all. The first amendment of the United states said that you do not discriminate, for religion nor race. Discrimination is a crime and he is openly provoking segregation. And hate. Our children are seeing this. And because he has money you don't do anything? You cannot support this. Hitler started this way. No one cared till it touch there personal life. Why wait? Italians are Latin. People who go to America hope for a better life. This attitude and wordings of Trump and whom support him create disharmony...resentment. And harm..these are the root that created a holocaust, gangs etc... The war of Korean and Japanese..those who live this kind of campaigns of racism. Jews, negros. .Know the magnitude of his comments and consequences. You must take action before the world looks at America as a land that allow unforgivable injustice. Our president and congress have to act. Take him to trial as an example of putting people over others disrupting peace persecuting a race.. He is Taking advantage of his social status. . America does not need this propaganda.It is not a good for us!! A mayor just suggested marking people!! People are laughing but the world is watching. History must not repeat its injustices. To forget our for fathers and the struggle men fought for to make America a better place to live in guarantying everyone's safety. It is not freedom of speech he is attacking a race..like Hitler. Please consider my petition seriously. I was born in America. I am not proud of his insults which I believe is a destructive conduct act.Now.

My granddaughter has been asking, where's Nana and Papa? I had taken care of her 3 to 4 times a week for two years. We were very close. For years, I had "loaned" my daughter money when she called me in a panic because she couldn't pay her rent. It added up to several thousand dollars. She has never offered to pay any of it back. My daughter and her husband have a habit of over-spending and not paying their debts to the point of having no credit, getting evicted and being sued by collection agencies. I told them that I would no longer enable their poor spending habits by continuing to give them more money, because it wasn't helping them. I offered them help on forming a budget and getting better jobs. My daughter quit the minimum wage job she had and went on state assistance. They abruptly removed my granddaughter from my life, and now a grandson has been born. He is 9 months old. I've never met him, even though we live in the same area. By the way, my daughter has a BA degree. I have asked her many times to talk to me and work this out. She flatly refuses. I worry that my granddaughter thinks that I've abandoned her or that I stopped loving her. My heart is broken. This could be remedied with some regular, court-ordered visitation.

Public restrooms are never enjoyable, but for transgender people and many others, using a public restroom can be a highly stressful and even dangerous experience. My point is being made in DC. All single occupancy restrooms are gender neutral and need no sign saying so. RESTROOM is the ONLY sign needed. No one is saying you can't have an additional sign. It's only saying you don't need one. Rather than clawing one toilet at a time across America looking for headlines this takes care of the issue either state by state or in one fell swoop at the federal level. This policy simply allows people to use a single person restroom in a greater degree of safety, legally and with greater convenience for ALL people. This is already being enacted in DC. It's already the law and they have stated RESTROOM alone is fine. You simply remove the gender sign rather than replacing it. What this creates is ease of change and not a requirement for all venues to spend money to make that change. It also creates choice and convenience for ALL people. Often, even in a loving society, we are reactionary when it comes to the needs of a transgender child or adult. We allow an environment that creates fear in them, which has them in the closet, until they muster the intestinal fortitude to face that unwelcoming environment and only after the fact consider whether or not to take steps for their welfare and comfort. This is backwards to the need. If we create a positive environment set up for them prior to that desperate moment of determination to say who they are, we take away much of that desperation in the first place. A child shouldn't be required to show more bravery than most adults ever will in their lifetimes simply because they were born as they were. The reactionary stance is never the best one. Proactive things can and need to be done now. It only takes an understanding of the facts by all to see the need. Start looking around you. Start wondering why it is you can't use the single occupancy (one person) restroom that is most convenient. Start wondering why you shouldn't just use the closest available rather than walking further down a hall or to another location when there is a perfectly good restroom in front of you. Start wondering why a gender sign on a door has some magical power to keep you out of a single occupancy restroom that is most convenient. Join us in bringing this message to our government officials. Join us in doing something reasonable that benefits all people.

I have been and still advocate for medical marijuana, decriminalization and marijuana legalization, as well as drug abuse and addiction treatment reform. Drug overdose deaths in Colorado have gone down 25% since legalization was voted into effect. A side note: Motor vehicle accidents of all kinds have been reduced by 10% as well, not to mention the medical benefits and the amount of prescriptions that can be replaced, which I really hope isn't the real thing keeping these laws out of the house and senate floors, by way of 'Big Pharma' interest lobbies.

What if the volunteers who dedicate their time to coach and mentor your kids had their faces blacked out by a city official in a tournament publication? That is what happened in March, when Kevin Clement, Director of Recreation for the City of Thibodaux, LA, digitally erased the faces of Kenneth Lacy and Chris Ward, from the photo they took with their team for publication in The Biddy All-Star Tournament. Clement emailed St. Charles officials from his official city email and stated that the absence of Lacy and Ward's faces was due to "printer error." An outraged parent from another team saw this altered photo after purchasing one at the tournament, and demanded answers. Lacy and Ward's humiliation did not end there. When Lacy expressed his embarrassment and hurt to Mayor Tommy Eschete, a longtime friend of Clement, Mayor Eschete did nothing to remedy the harm caused to the two coaches' reputations or to the children and parents, who traveled from as far away as Finland for the tournament. They will always have the ugly reminder of the way two dedicated and invested black coaches were treated in a Louisiana Biddy Ball tournament publication. This act cannot do without redress! Demand that Kevin be held accountable NOW!

All our public service like firefighters, paramedics, police, are jobs for which that we citizens pay the compensation. So, since firefighters don't have to go looking for fires, paramedics don't have to go searching for medical emergencies, but they simply respond when called on, why should police be any different? The police should not go looking for crimes and traffic offenses as an excuse to disturb the peace of citizens. However, the police should only respond to crimes when called upon by citizens, just like any other public service employee would. The police should have no right to go out looking for crime. The police searching for crime should be against the law. So, we are asking that the police department's standard operating procedures, policies, and interactions with citizens be reformed to mirror the way that other public service jobs carry themselves.

Civil rights and guaranteed entitlement refused. Just because we're African Americans. Two veterans fell dead after taking Antabuse prescribed at WSVA Outpatient Clinic. There's no mistake antabuse was the apparent cause of their fatal exphixiation.
