  • Stop financial discrimination in schools
    Parents everywhere are suffering financially. Not every family qualifies for free lunches, yet even reduced lunches can get costly. Some parents are having to choose between paying their bills, putting gas in the car, or immediately paying off their children's student lunch accounts. Schools then suspend children with a negative balance on their lunch accounts from attending fun activities & games. In effect punishing them for their family's financial status. Congress needs to act & stop this type of discrimination now! Students should not be prevented from enjoying activities because their parents can't afford to feed them. Congress should draft legislation preventing schools from suspending children with negative lunch balances from attending fun games, rallies, etc.. End financial discrimination in schools now!

  • Decriminalize All Drugs
    Repeal the Controlled Substances Act and legalize all drugs for mentally competent adults (21+). The Drug War has failed, 30,000 people have lost their lives in Mexico, and for what? Marijuana is not going away. It's about time we decriminalized it.

  • No Need to Amend NC Constitution
    On May 8th. vote no on Amendment One. North Carolina already has a marriage law stating one man and one woman. This is a bad law that will hurt women and children. Stand up. Fight back. Don't accept trickery from politicians!

  • Gay Marriage
    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!

  • Defund TSA
    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..

  • Equal Rights
    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: Stop the Hypocrisy: No More Leadership For NC Amendment One
    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.
