Personal vendetta against the indigenous races

The Ugandan government is just days away from adopting a draconian law criminalizing homosexuality. Gay and lesbian Ugandans could face life in prison or even the death penalty. Evangelical mega-church pastor Rick Warren has traveled to Uganda and preached against homosexuality and one of the Ugandan pastors who's led the fight for this horrific bill has spoken at Warren's conferences in the United States. So the last time the "Anti-Homosexuality Bill" was introduced in Uganda, human-rights activists successfully pressured Rick Warren into taking a public stand against the law. Faced with mounting international criticism, the Uganda government backed down -- until now. But this time around, Rick Warren is remaining conspicuously silent about the situation in Uganda, despite giving a number of high-profile interviews on other subjects. At a time when his voice could help save the lives of LGBT Ugandans, he's on CNN comparing being gay to giving in to a temptation to "punch a guy in the nose."

People should be concerned because equal rights is an issue that affects all of us as Americans. It affects me because my partner and I have been together for 33 years and just recently has the right to be married been granted to us in New York state but I think that we should be recognized as a married couple and have the same federal rights in every state in the Union.

We all know about the "Kill the Gays" bill and the evil it would bring. Tell our government to list Uganda as a state that sponsors terrorism if this bill passes. We cannot let countless people die because of homophobia; we need to stand together and prevent this from happening!

At large airports a special screening line is reserved for high-tier mileage program members and first class passengers. In some cases military personnel in uniform also have access but make up a very small share of the users. These lines, like all screening, are staffed by government employees. To respond to widespread complaints about TSA screening, a "Pre Check" program has been started which will entitle members to a somewhat less onerous screening process. However, signing up for this is through the airlines, who are restricting applications to their high tier mileage program members. Both of these are exploitable weaknesses in the screening process, as well as an exploitation of the security issue by airlines to promote their own marketing agendas. Airport screening is a police function, not a customer service function, and every passenger should receive equally thorough screening and equal respect. The special lines should be restricted to Pre Check members, and participation in Pre Check should not depend on membership or mileage status in any airline program.

Georgia's HB 87, the anti-immigrant law passed in Georgia in 2011, seeks to falsely blame immigrants for problems they did not cause, damages our economy by preventing Georgia's agricultural and other industries from hiring the workers our economy needs, and promotes an environment of racial profiling in which Latinos, Asians, and other people of color are targeted and harassed because of their appearance.

We did it! Thanks to thousands of you who signed our OH Lawmakers, Stop Your Attacks on Women petition, Ohio’s attempt to defund Planned Parenthood and its restrictive “heartbeat” bill have been defeated! Tuesday, Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus said that he would not move either the "heartbeat" abortion ban bill or the bill to defund Planned Parenthood in Ohio. Both bills are unlikely to move forward. Senator Niehaus even defended Planned Parenthood’s role as provider of critical women’s health care: “From my perspective, you have to look at the entirety of the work that is done by Planned Parenthood, and I believe that they offer much-needed services that are not offered other places.” Unfortunately, there’s more work to do. Governor John Kasich has recently appointed the President of Ohio Right to Life, Michael Gonidakis, to the State Medical Board. Kasich has shown once again that he believes the government should get between physicians and their patients. Positioning ideology on the same level as public health and safety must be avoided. The appointment of Mike Gonidakis sends a message that the function of the Medical Board is not to license and regulate the medical profession, but to foster one particular ideological perspective within the Board's activities, opinions, and rulings.
