States that require photo I.D.s for voters should be obliged to provide mobile units in areas where the office is 5 or miles away. These units should be placed outside of churches and supermarkets for ease of use by those who cannot get to Motor Vehicle Departments.

The owners of this shop recently turned away a gay couple shopping for a wedding cake because they "don't serve gay weddings." This is an extremely exciting and special time in a young couples' lives, an experience they'll hopefully never have again. They've spent time dreaming up their perfect day to celebrate their love and commitment to each other, and they admiringly chose this business to add one of the most traditional pieces to their ceremony: the cake. But they were denied service because of their sexuality. As a member of the LGBT community in the area, I am appalled at this abhorrent behavior. We need to send a message to them that in this day and age, bigotry cannot and will not be tolerated. I'm not sure how the cakes taste, but I know how bigotry and hate tastes and it is disgusting.

I personally take offense to all the hate-fueled talk from Michelle Bachmann. She's a bigot who doesn't care for the American people unless they are white, straight, and share her exact religious views.

Racial descrimination should not be considered in voting for representatives running for office.

Committed to Scouting, Open to Diversity “We, the undersigned, request that the Boy Scouts of America end its policy of excluding gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and nontheist youth and adults.” http://www.scoutingforall.org/data/layer02/pdf/stevenspetition.pdf

This is about the recent decision by the boy scouts to ban gay children and adults from the organization

Often times, opponents of gay marriage say that "marriage" carries a certain religious sanctity. If ALL unions between two people are recognized ONLY as civil unions, then individuals will be left to determine whether or not their union is a marriage. This will allow any two people the ability to enjoy the societal benefits of joining together in the eyes of the state without having to infringe upon people's views on marriage and the religious connotation it may or may not carry.

We, the residents of Johnstown Pennsylvania do hereby petition the Johnstown City Council, Mayor and City Manager to enact legislation to establish a democratically elected Civilian Board of Control of the Johnstown Police Department. This board will be empowered to make policy, hire, and fire police, review and investigate any and or all complaints against officers and petition for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and prosecute police accused of crimes such as battery, unlawful arrest, racial profiling, torture, murder, and the use of force to suppress the democratic rights of the people to organize and protest. The Board of Control would be directly responsible for conducting investigations into allegations of the use of excessive force, police shootings where an officer’s discharges his/her weapon and strikes someone, deaths in custody, domestic violence, verbal abuse including bias and coercion. The board would also investigate allegations of off duty misconduct relating to excessive force and discharge incidents. These investigations would include but are not limited to conducting interviews and formal statements with complainants, witnesses, accused and witness officers, and the analysis of all forms of evidence including video, forensic and documentary. This legislation is due in part with the murder of Elip Cheatham on June 25, 2012 and for all the other instances of police abuse, brutality and or abuse of power. We feel the Johnstown Police Department needs to be policed and we the citizens of this community respectfully wish to be heard and these issues addressed.

I watch the news every day. I am appalled by the paparazzi and the major TV stations coverage of celebrities. They will stop at nothing. It is a waste of our time.

This an issue of equal rights and our gay NC citizens should have the right to marry just as our straight citizensdo.

Brooksville City Council members and the local police chief have used one of the oldest tactics in the fight for justice and civil rights. They are using the police force to intimidate a local candidate for city council. Going after her daughter and an 87 years old friend; to make a federal case out of a clerical error! And with help from the local Housing Board, staff, executive director, project manager, the state prosecutor, local judges and the public defender office to rail road Mr. Boston for running for a position on the city council. He is running against a candidate that has held the seat for the 17 years over time. And is running unopposed. His goal is to tear down the local low income housing project, where Mr. Boston live and sell it to the local developer fordevelopment. Moving hundred of democrats out of the city and their natural birth place.
