On MTV in 2007, I asked Barack Obama a question about Net Neutrality. And he gave me a fantastic promise. Obama said, "The answer is yes. I am a strong supporter of net neutrality... As president, I'm going to make sure that that is the principle that my FCC commissioners are applying." But now, Net Neutrality is under attack. Obama's new FCC Chair -- a cable industry lobbyist -- may break the president's promise to Joe and all of us. Watch the president promise to protect Internet freedom. And join me in demanding that promise be kept. http://noslowlane.com

To request that the Alameda Recreation and Parks Dept. will repair a damaged bench of historical interest in one of its city parks.

In a speech Saturday to the National Rifle Association, Sarah Palin said that "if I were in charge, they would know that waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists." The audience roared with approval. This is what we've come to in America: A former candidate for vice-president can equate torture and baptism, and one of the nation's most powerful political lobbies erupts into cheers and applause. As usual, Palin's remarks are already making international headlines, once again portraying Christianity as a religion of hatred and violence. But of course, sincere Christians like me are appalled by her twisted misrepresentation of our faith -- and anyone of good conscience should be offended by turning torture into a cheap political punchline. So we're launching a statement to the media, denouncing her remarks and setting the record straight: There's nothing Christian about Palin's hateful remarks.

My petition would help other victims of sexual abuse in a taxi cab to get justice quicker. It might even prevent the abuse from happening. I am personally affected by this issue. I was sexually assaulted by a cab driver. If there was audio and video surveillance in the cab it would have provided the police with evidence that the driver did threaten my well being.

I have attended the Clark County Fair since the 1970s and cannot remember a time when such a personality was booked for entertainment. Clark County does not need to be open for business to the sort of well-known negative rhetoric that is espoused by this character. Do not support this wrong decision.

As a customer of Muddy's myself and many other customers are frustrated with the treatment the township is giving to Muddy's Smokehouse BBQ.

The audio recording that allegedly features LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling on a racist and sexist rant -- telling his girlfriend that she can’t be seen with black people in public -- is appalling. This is not the first time Sterling has been accused of such disgraceful prejudice and hostility. He has displayed repeated misogynistic behavior, and has been sued multiple times for racial discrimination. Meanwhile, the NBA continues to turn a blind eye and let the 80-year-old billionaire keep his esteemed position as a NBA team owner. Enough is enough.

People should have the option to choose their methods of medication; therefore, marijuana should be legalized for medicinal purposes.

Frustration. Is it all about money, or also reminding people of the importance of voting during an election that gets little turn-out?

The Berkeley City Council's new redistricting map, voted in by a 6-3 vote, was quickly overturned by a popular referendum – Berkeley citizens were unhappy that it split neighborhoods, divided UC Berkeley students along conservative and progressive lines, and made it very likely that one of the few *truly* progressive Council members we have would *not* be re-elected. Now the Council majority (those in favor of the new map) is trying to enforce its will by hiring a private law firm to sue its citizens and other members of the City Council and city staff. This is not how democracy is supposed to work, especially in a town like Berkeley! Find an acceptable compromise map, and don’t make citizens who are participating in the democratic process pay wasteful legal fees.
