North Carolina does not provide a statutory basis for right of publicity claims. In 2009, the North Carolina legislature proposed, but did not enact, legislation that addressed the right of publicity. Websites are publishing arrest booking photograph and charging fees for their removal. These website's siphon information from the sheriff's department databases under the Freedom of Information Act. Many of these victims are not guilty of any crime and are vindicated through the court system only to find that their record and mug shot is posted on the Internet causing irreparable damage and suffering resulting in making it difficult if not impossible to find employment. I was arrested and charged with a litany of felonies; all of which were not true, and all of which were immediately dismissed by the district attorney. I have over 20+ years, an undergraduate degree, a master’s degree, and a successful career that had progressively moved forward. I have been looking at a job but cannot find one. Despite paying over $500 and providing the case resolution information to a number of these sites, my mug shot and information is still found on the web, and remains at the head of any internet search of my name. It is imperative that the North Carolina legislature take HB 327 from the 2009 session out of the archives and pass this bill, protecting the citizens of this state from having their reputations ruined by extortionists website operators hiding be hind the Freedom of Information act. references: Florida : http://www.scribd.com/doc/58921958/An-Investigation-Of-arrests-org#download Texas : http://www.fwweekly.com/2011/11/09/an-ugly-business/ Ohio : http://www.toledoblade.com/Courts/2012/12/05/Web-sites-profiting-from-mug-shots-sued-fees-charged-to-remove-online-images.html California : http://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1555&context=chtlj http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/north-carolina-right-publicity-law http://www.newyorkpersonalinjuryattorneyblog.com/category/kyle-prall http://www.citmedialaw.org/blog/2011/mugshot-racket-paying-keep-public-records-less-public http://www.fwweekly.com/2011/11/09/an-ugly-business/

We all saw the terrible lines in many States of people waiting to exercise their right to vote. Now is the time to demand that our law makers in Congress pass a bill to guarantee that people get a chance to cast their ballot in our elections.

It took me more than two hours to vote in the past presidential election because of Gov. Scott's refusal to support democracy; we showed that we will vote for the candidates we want regardless of the obstacles that the reigning crew tries to put in place to favor their candidates; but it is the duty of the governor to see that the process is fair and easy, not complicated and one sided

The hidden discrimination against job seekers 50 years old and over. The concern is that the average retirement age is 70 and employers are not hiring enough workers 50 and over.

Focus on the Family has consistently and repeatedly attacked the civil rights of the LGBT community in Colorado. They should be considered a hate group and lose their tax free status.

Please pass Illinois House bill “HB-5383 - PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY-FLUORIDE” which repeals a provision requiring the Department of Public Health to provide for the addition of fluoride to public water supplies.

PAY IDAHO FOOD SERVERS MINIMUM WAGE !!!

I am starting this position as a friend and family member of the LGBT community. I believe that two people in love should be treated equally and be able to get married to whomever they choose regardless of sexual orientation. Everyone should be treated equally, so let's move forward on this!

Same sex marriage should be allowed everywhere. Who are we to judge who gets married? Gays and lesbians don't judge who straight people marry so why care about who marries who? Shouldn't everyone be able to marry who they love?

Va Needs to Get with the times and legalize same-sex marriage.Wether or not one approves (religious objection) is moot.No one has the right to impose their beliefs on others.The 1st amendment is there for a reason.

There is no reason to change the process for selectin the electroal college in PA

Gov. Corbett's plan to rig the electoral college in future presidential elections.
