Our landlord is raising the lot rent for owners $100 a month. He also is raising the rent for his own rentals from $75-35.

There are many gay people in the United States that would like to get married someday, but can't. It is rediculous that in this day and age people are saying it is wrong. They are just two people in love like everyone else!

My new born baby is biracial, my wife is black, I am white, we get mistreated by local racists every day and the crooked cops side with them. This also happens to other people here.

The TSA has turned our airports into a "Constitution-free" zone where people are arbitrarily searched and forced into machines designed to show images of their naked bodies, all in clear violation of the Fourth Amendment. We are asking that all funds for this agency be withheld until they follow the procedures mandated by the amendment and stop interfering with the established right of the people to move freely from one state to another..

The picture ID's now required by some states is social, racial and economically discriminating. If a State passes a Photo ID Voters Law they must IMMEDIATELY notify their citizens of this and provide an easy, effective, FREE way to obtains such a credential before this November election.

Equal Rights does intrinsically not discriminate -right? except in some cases - wrong! Bigotry is not dead, just head for the nearest Republican and/or Right Wing group (in person, on the internet, at rallies and parades, and yes, friendships!) and discuss a favorite issue - taxes. Because the current law does not allow a legal agreement defining marriage as available option to same sex couples these brothers and sisters, friends and family, are denied, the same economic benefits that are offered to heterosexuals, the current "reigning group" majority. The old mantra of exposure to children, illness, lewdness (sooo old fashioned and out-dated) and against mainstream religion has been taken apart, dissected by every group from social psychiatry to following the pack mentality to ignorance. In this century, in our lifetime, how absurd to deny any sect of people a denial or refusal to love and cohabit and form a family.

Tami Fitzgerald is chairwoman of the campaign to put Amendment One into the constitution, which would prohibit North Carolina from viewing same-sex relationships as marriages or civil unions. Her opposition to acknowledging same-sex couples is grounded in the Bible. However, the Bible is much clearer about banning women from teaching or holding authority over men than it is about same-sex relationships. To be consistent in her interpretation of the Bible, we demand that Ms. Fitzgerald immediately resigns and discontinues all leadership and teaching roles.

Governor Romney secretly meet earlier this year with Rush Limbaugh during a fundraising trip to Florida. I call on Governor Romney and the republican party to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh's and Glenn Beck's misogonystic, racist, and anti-semitic hate speech.

Canton man gets 60 years for selling cocaine. Dennis Beal (Source: Office of the District Attorney)Dennis Beal (Source: Office of the District Attorney) MADISON COUNTY, MS (WLBT) - A Canton man will spend 60 years in jail, without the possibility of parole, after being found guilty of selling cocaine. Dennis Beal, 37, was found guilty following a two-day trial. Due to previous convictions for robbery, possession of a controlled substance and bribery, Beal was charged as a non-violent habitual offender and a subsequent drug offender, according to District Attorney Michael Guest. On top of the jail sentence Beal will also have to pay a $2 million fine upon his release. In March 2009, Beal met with a confidential law enforcement informant and sold the informant $30 worth of crack cocaine, according to the district attorney. Beal was arrested and while out on bond he reportedly contacted a Madison County Sheriff’s Department deputy and offered the deputy “money to make the charges go away.” The sheriff’s department began to record calls between Beal and the deputy and in February 2010, Beal gave the deputy $5,000 in cash. Law enforcement moved in and arrested Beal on bribery charges.  “Beal’s lack of respect for the criminal justice system can be seen in his attempt to bribe a Deputy Sherriff in an attempt to keep him from going back to prison.  Dennis Beal is an example of a career criminal that will now spend the remainder of his life behind bars because he refuses to obey the law,” Guest said. .

I beleive all citizens should have the right to vote no matter their criminal status, if they want too

Please sign the petition to raise awareness and hopefully to create action to add additional protections to taxi drivers in San Francisco. I was harassed, assaulted, and had property damage done to my vehicle as a result of a dispatcher outing me to other cab drivers at National Cab Company in San Francisco. I brought it to the attention of President Dan Hinds at National Cab Company and was told that I am "the problem."

Hilary Clinton and President Obama spoke out about the abuses in other countries while going silent on what is happening here on our soil. No more pepper sraying and abusing American protesters! Demand a commitment to end these practices now before the next elections.
