2/5/13 Asbury Press "NJ: Last week, legal notices were posted announcing that, starting today, authorities would come in and disassemble the camp if the tents had not already been taken down. Eighty people would have been completely homeless. Last year, Superior Court Judge Joseph Foster refused to allow Lakewood to shut down the camp, stating that the residents could not be moved without an alternative place to live. Officials contend that Tent City leaders have not abided by their part of the bargain to forbid more people from moving in. But neither has the county. It hasn’t offered any alternatives, including entering into a partnership with other parties, public or private, to build a county homeless shelter. Before bulldozing Tent City, both the county and the township need to come up with alternatives for those who find themselves, literally, out in the cold. Some of these residents have substance abuse problems and/or mental illness, and have been reluctant to leave Tent City. But many have fallen on bad luck and hard times. All of them need some help. Long-term homelessness may be a tough nut to crack, but what is becoming increasingly clear is that Lakewood simply lacks the will to keep its citizens safe — in Tent City and in the township’s thousands of dilapidated rental houses. And Ocean County lacks the desire to use anything more than an iron fist to deal with the homeless in its midst. A judge properly ruled that alternative housing must be provided before Tent City can be razed. That has yet to happen. Authorities must, as a matter of basic decency, provide a shelter or some alternative before sending in the bulldozers.

Currently only those who work in government or banking positions get the day off. Most veterans who want to take the day off must use paid time off. As a veteran who honorably served my country for eight years, I feel it's time we get to take the day off, without using vacation time to do so.

As a writer for a local paper, I learned that there is no federal recognition for Abraham Lincoln. An effort to include him in Presidents' Day failed at the federal level and he is only acknowledged by a handful of states. This is a travesty. In this 150th Anniversary year of Gettysburg, I think it's time to hold him in the esteem he deserves and officially include him in Presidents' Day.

After a symposium at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of the American Indian, this petition was started to urge franchise owner Dan Snyder to change the name of the mascot. In an effort to advocate for this change, we are urging signers to refrain from using the mascot name, and urging the Washington Post to do the same.

Corporations posing as governments all over the world were put on notice to cease and desist their treasonous actions in 2012. The necessary documents to do this were filed in the UCC and in due course unrebutted. This means they have been foreclosed on and are now the property of the People, assets included. Business as usual is forever changed in the people's favor.
