• Sever your “sister-city” relationship with Tambov, Russia
    Terre Haute should send a clear message that violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Russian citizens is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Russia's elected leaders are out of control—and we can't stand for it any longer. Russian law allows police officers to arrest tourists and foreign nationals they suspect of being homosexual, lesbian, or “pro-gay” and detain them for up to 14 days. Russia's “gay propaganda” law makes any parents who tell their children that being gay is okay, any Pride parade organizer, any health official distributing information regarding safe sex between same-sex partners, and even judges and lawyers subject to arrest or fine. Already people are being arrested, beaten, intimidated, and more. Russia’s sports minister, Vitaly Mutko, has said that foreign nationals would be subject to this law.

  • The Raise in the State Base Pay of Servers/Waiters
    I am one among the legions of the growing disenfranchised that work honestly, hard, and continually, daily. We pay taxes, we pay child support, we buy our uniforms and supplies as needed all from this meager and undignified source of income. The base pay for servers/waiters in Texas is $2.13 since 1991. Please, help us raise the pay to match the cost of living, inflation, and other unseen variables. That further hinder us and not help us in our pursuit of Liberty and Happiness.

  • Unnatural Hair Colors in High School
    Students are being kicked out of class over hair colors that aren't "natural." Parents are being forced to pay to have their childrens' hair redyed because the schools will not let them back into class. Students look for anyway they can to express themselves. One easy, fun, and painless way is to dye their hair. Many use this as a way to step out of their comfort zone and put themselves out there to make friends and become more confident.
