When will it stop? Residents of public housing in Peekskill, NY face daily violation of their rights and harassment. Private and public appeals have been made for more than TWO YEARS yet Peekskill officials do nothing to guarantee the rights of residents nor protect those who have the courage to denounce the violations. Retaliation and suppression of the democratic process are the City's response. Peekskill's Housing Authority, Mayor and City Council are failing these citizens. We need your help!

Everyone should be required to vote in order to show the TRUE feelings of the citizenery

WE NEED TO PETITION THE D.O.J. TO STRIKE DOWN THE DISCRIMINATORY VOTER REGISTRATION LAWS RECENTLY PASSED BY STATES / OR WE NEED THE D.O.J. TO PUT THESE LAWS ON HOLD UNTIL EACH AND EVERY ONE IS REVIEWED BY THE D.O.J. / AS DISCRIMINATORY VIOLATIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION.

Tarrytown village code (Chapter 218-1) states that "No person shall participate in any parade, exhibition or the playing of musical instruments upon the streets of the village unless authorization has first been received by the Board of Trustees." A discussion of the matter has been relegated to a Board of Trustees work session. My goal here is to have a discussion with the village Board of Trustees to address this issue and show the support of signatures to allow live street music, aka sidewalk entertainers and artists, in our bustling business district.

To make those states stop supressing the vote, and can our president do anything with he civil rights voting act can it be amended through executive order to void those fraudulant voter supression claims?

MoveOn is asking citizens to urge the DNC to help the WI Democratic party for $500,000 to help with the Recall Walker ground game. I proposed in a response that the DNC match, whatever others raise in the next five days, up to a limit the DNC sets. It is called "political cover." Arthur Berney <[email protected]>

The DNC should support my request to move the convention out of North Carolina due to the recent anti gay marriage and civil rights violations.

TO GET JUSTIC FOR JASMINE

The Sunshine in Government Initiative (SGI), a coalition of media organizations that includes the Online News Association, the world’s largest membership organization of digital journalists, is asking the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to reconsider its new Press Lock-ups Policy, which could "inhibit the quality, accuracy and independence of news reporting." Under the DOL’s new policy participants would be required to remove their software, hardware, and dedicated lines from the DOL by June 15, 2012. Reporters would be required to use only government-owned software and hardware. The use of modern news-producing software would be prohibited. All transmission would be via the internet, not via a secure, redundant line. The DOL would own and operate the data lines, internet access and internet connections. As the government grows more concerned about cybersecurity, the proposed policy would create a single point of failure. The letter asks the DOL to reconsider or delay implementing the policy until it receives more input from the public and affected media.

Constitutional rights to freedom of religion may be at risk of dilution unless we carefully draw up laws or amendments intended to extend rights to individuals and groups. Both can be accommodated in regard to gay marriage much the same as objections to abortion are granted to individuals and churches. Providers of products and services must not have to choose between their jobs and consciences.

A very important historical figure

On Wednesday, May 2, 2012, at about 9:50 p.m. on the access of Potranco and Hwy 151 in San Antonio, Texas, my brother, Abraham Valadez, was side-swiped by a black SUV while on his motorcycle. The motorist of the SUV stopped to see what they did and then sped off. The Fox News reporter (unknown) on the scene fabricated a story by reporting that my brother was joyriding. This is completely false. His main form of transportation is a motorcycle. The reporter never mentioned that there was a black SUV that changed lanes without signaling and by doing so hit my brother on his bike causing him to fly and tumble 3-4 times. He hit the curb on the island and as a result a part of the handlebar of his bike caught his hand and almost severed it. Does Fox have a habit of fabricating stories on the suffering of others? This is the response from the Asst. News Director of KABB-TV in San Antonio, TX, James Keith: Please accept our apologies for the poor reporting and for the unfortunate incident. We will address this with the employees who wrote the story. It's never our intention to report false information. Again, my apologies. Thanks for letting us know! James Keith Assistant News Director, KABB-TV (210) 442-6301 [email protected] Although it is never the "intention to report false information" from any news source, it is unfortunate that this happened and it would only be right to correct the error in an updated news story.
