• FOX NEWS - Does Foreign Born Rupert Murdoch Have The Best Interest of the USA and her Citizens?
    It seems clear that Fox News does not subscribe to TRUTH and INTEGRITY in reporting news. One University study says that watching no news is better than watching Fox News' "truth." I contend that Fox News is BAD for America and America's Future.

  • Gender Discrimination by DMV
    Iowa DMV since Iowa law changed in 2007 has refused to update its licencing of Driver lic. In Iowa. On present license it states the word SEX. Iowa law contains no words in such manner which can be more diversified. Gender is the new proper title and in such Discriminates against all Crossdressers and Transgenders and Transsexuals. I have suggested that Sex be deleted and Gender be accepted. Under Gender on license is M. for male or F. for Female and T for Transgender and if proof enough C for crossdresser of which there will be very few. Transgenders are public persons. All ready Law suit in Delaware County of Sheriff who didnt know Iowa law.

  • Wayne Williams Deserves a New Trial
    On February 27, 1982, a young Atlanta man with no prior criminal record was convicted of murdering two men. Shortly thereafter, the Atlanta Police Department closed 23 homicides and attributed them to Wayne B. Williams, calling him the "Atlanta Child Murderer." Since then, evidence has surfaced suggesting that Williams did not kill either of the two men or any of the children. Research also indicates that the evidence against Williams was faulty and even fabricated (at the time, the FBI lab used faulty techniques to convict hundreds of people, according to The Washington Post). http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/doj-review-of-flawed-fbi-forensics-processes-lacked-transparency/2012/04/17/gIQAFegIPT_story.html

  • Safeguarding the rights of parents of Deaf children
    Deafness is a non life threatening occurance. Parents should not be required by biased courts to force their children to wear hearing aids or cochlear implants one of which is elective surgery. Parental rights should never be taken away based on the idea that oral learning is the ONLY way to acquire language. Sign language is as viable a way to learn about the world as any oral language. Stop forcing Deaf children to conform to a hearing environment if they choose not to.

  • Affirmative action for people over 50
    The protected categories for federal contractors include sex, race, veterans & Hispanic surname. Statistics show that people over 50 are spending more than twice as long between jobs as the youngest members of the job pool, with the amount of time between jobs going up steadily with age. There is an assumption that older people or more experienced people are more expensive, but this is not necessarily true. Older job applicants need protection. If being over 50 were added to the protected classes for federal contractors, this would be a first step.

  • JUSTICE FOR JASMIN
    An African American young female is shot and killed by a white boy who claims it was an accident. Why wasn't he arrested? Why wasn't he charged and let a jury of his peers decide his innocence or guilt? What kind of world are we living in that every time you open the newspaper or turn on the news, an african american is being killed by a caucasion and not charged or arrested, but if this was a white female killed in front of her home by a black male he would have been arrested, charged and 95% convicted of something!

  • Tell Congress to NOT let banks disenfranchise working class people!
    Now that properties are affordable for working class people, banks are saying NO to offers that require financing and only working with CASH buyers. MOST people buy with a loan because it takes such a long time to save to buy cash. This behavior is prolonging the real estate market recovery, supressing values AND allowing the Rich to get Richer. Why should a hardworking person NOT be able to buy a property if they are willing to buy it and can get a mortgage to buy and fix!

  • Please, sign and share: Justice for Anna Brown
    Homeless, broke, and alone, Anna Brown hobbled into the St Mary's Hospital ER with an ankle injury. Anna, uninsured, was told to leave; when she refused, the police were called. Anna, sitting in a wheel chair, was physically removed and arrested for "disturbing the peace and resisting arrest." Video, obtained by a local TV news program, under Missouri's Sunshine Act, clearly shows how helpless Anna was. Anna was carried, by a Richmond Heights, MO, police officer to a jail cell; she was left on the concrete floor writhing and crying in agony. That is how she died! The only air time this travesty has received was on the Mike Malloy Radio Show shortly after it occured.
