Without regard to party affiliation, let's have all broadcast media agree to air the sentence "Please Vote - It Matters" once, and only once (or whatever is agreed upon) every hour or two. It's only 3 seconds of their air time. Surely it's worth it as a public service to all potential voters. Is anyone afraid of encouraging everybody to vote? Seems very American to me.

110K Japanese-Americans, 15K German-Americans and approx. 3K Italian-Americans were sent to interment camps during WWII. Currently only 16 states require the Japanese-American internment to be taught; ZERO states require that the interment of German and Italian Americans be taught.

Civil Rights : The president of Chick-fil-A restaurant has made his stance against gay and lesbian marriage and equal rights . We are trying to stop bullying in schools and colleges and a business like this is portraying hatred by speaking out against equal rights to the gay population . We don't need more hatred on College or school campuses .

There has been far too many DEADLY attacks on the GLBT people, and the guilty have just gotten away with a slap on the hands. NO MORE!!! I am not going to tolerate this anymore. I know way too many people that will join with the GLBT community everywhere. We must put a stop to this evil, and put the guilty in prisons for no less than 5 years

Brad Lang has started a petition to hinder and reverse the citizens right to sell and purchase fireworks. His claim is that tent sales of fireworks somehow causes violence and it is obvious that he is grasping at straws for an excuse to restrict others freedoms. Remember the Tunisian vegetable vendor that was similarly prohibited from earning an honest living and set himself on fire in protest thus, igniting the Arab Spring revolutions? The current law is just and needs to be protected agianst those who want to restrict others freedoms.

Idaho is one of only two states that does not provide protection for a woman's right to breastfeed her child anywhere she is able to be. Breastfeeding women are often discriminated against and harassed for trying to do the best thing for their children. We need to protect the rights of our mothers and babies and help support a strong breastfeeding relationship.

Leonard Peltier, the American Indian who has been wrongfully imprisoned by the u.s. government for over 30 years - longer than Nelson Madela. On June 26, 1975, two FBI agents stormed (guns a-blazing) onto private property of a private home and were shot under the rules of basic, human, self-defense by friends of the homeowners. Mr. Peltier has been rotting in prison for much too long. Ask yourself - if Peltier was Black would he still be imprisoned, or would the NAACP have stepped in to free him? Native Entertainment Magazine and the people of the world want President Obama to live up to his promise of "CHANGE"!

This was our original motto,adopted September 9, 1776."In God We Trust" was adopted July 30, 1956. Our founders wisdom guided them in adopting "E Pluribus Unum" which serves to unite us all as Americans. The present motto serves to divide us as a people. Also, it tends to isolate us from the rest of the world and it does not apply to the majority.

As a former den leader and pack secretary/treasurer who was kicked out for being gay back in 1998, I have followed the BSA's position on gay membership closely. In the case of Dale v BSA that was argued before the US Supreme Court, the BSA successfully petitioned the court to recognize it as a private religious organization. This decision effectively permits the BSA to discriminate against whomever it chooses. And as much as people may not want to accept it, that is their constitutional right. Imagine one of your church groups being forced to accept someone that did not follow the same teachings as your church. However, as a private religious organization, the government, whether local, state or federal, MUST dissociate itself with the BSA. Failure to do so is a clear violation of the First Amendment. Therefore, it is imperative that the US Congress revoke the charter it granted the BSA back in 1916 that effectively gives it a monopoly not only on the use of the term "scouts" (amended to allow the Girl Scouts to use it in 1954) but also on the type of program. The BSA has successfully sued to prevent the formation of similar organizations that are inclusive and non-discriminatory. It is able to do so solely because of the Congressional charter. Contact your representative and your senator and tell them to revoke the BSA charter. Tell them that the government of the US must not endorse any private religious organization. Tell them that every young boy— gay or straight, atheist or agnostic or relgious— has the right to have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits offered by an organization that helps them develop their character, their self-esteem and their sense of responsibility to the community.

To re-establish our Civil Rights as provided by the Constitution of the United States of America. The National Defense Act alters the Constitution allowing the US military to arrest and detain any American citizen indefinitely without due process.

Coca-Cola has received a top rating of 100 percent from the Human Rights Campaign for its performance regarding workplace policies for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender associates. You also do business with Chick-Fil-A, who has gone on record that they don’t support this cause and actually DO support causes that work to oppose this issue. Not only do they agree with a ban on same sex marriage, they donate money to these causes. We see this partnership as a double standard and we believe that, if your reputation as a fair minded company is genuine, you will stop doing business with this company. Show the world that Coca-Cola can put its money where its mouth is and cut all business ties with Chick-Fil-A.
