If this bill passes, it will set a precedent that any state can protect those who wish to discriminate, so long as it is for religious reasons. Because it is impossible to prove whether a person's religious beliefs are "sincerely held", SB 180 would allow someone to refuse service to any person without repercussions.

Oasis Wellness and Recovery Center had their budget cut by BHDDH and is struggling greatly to serve those living with mental illness.

I am sick of watching the nightly news only to see inaccurate numbers being projected that include Superdelegates with no coverage of Bernie Sanders. I understand that Corporations run our major networks and hold their purse strings. I understand Donald Trump gives generously to their causes (as can be heard on the Anonymous hacked phone messages that were just released). The only way to get fairer coverage is to demand the networks act like the news organizations they pretend to be.

My daughter and her friends have been coming from school more exhausted than usual, due to not having access to swings, climbing structures and slides during recess at the new building. A longer recess would allow them to travel to one of many parks near the new building and be ready to learn again.

Defeat S.B. 267 and keep the right of citizens to recall elected officials for bad/illegal behavior. One example: If an elected mayor breaks laws on the last day of his term and has won re-election, he cannot be charged for crimes from his previous term. If this passes, it gives elected officials a blank slate to violate the conditions of the law right before their term ends. Strong cause to re-elect no one.

Bernie's plan to rebuild America is the REAL DEAL.

The government's takeover of Zaman newspaper is the latest deeply troubling episode in the Turkish authorities’ ongoing onslaught on dissenting media, Amnesty International says. The week before, TV channel IMCTV was taken off air, silencing the only national news channel reporting a critical view of the situation in south-eastern Turkey, where round-the-clock curfews were imposed as armed clashes devastated entire towns. [1] Kurdish residents recently returned to the town of Cizre in south-eastern Turkey to find many of their homes obliterated by the government's military campaign to crush Kurdish rebels. [2] Some residents called the destruction a "second Kobani," referring to the Kurdish town in Syria that endured a brutal siege at the hands of ISIS. [3] Turkey's most prominent journalist compared it to Dresden in 1945. [4] The U.S. government characterizes Turkey as a close NATO ally, [5] so the U.S. government should use its influence to press the Turkish government to respect human rights. Urge your representatives in Congress to speak up about Turkish government abuses of human rights by signing our petition.

Already, three of the twenty-one Democratic governors in the USA are publicly pledging their support to a candidate who lost the primary/caucus in his state. We demand that they pledge their superdelegate vote to the winner of their state, whomever that may be.

Superdelegates are not determined through the election process and should not be included in delegate counts reported during election coverage. Superdelegates may, and have been known to, change which candidate they support, often based on the popular vote. This practice is misleading, especially to less informed viewers.

The WCA Board will vote on Thursday, March 10, to determine whether or not our elementary school will become a 5-track school, and whether there will be expansion to the elementary and MS/HS buildings. We must voice our opposition before they vote, to prevent our school from expanding too much, too fast.

Because, why not at this point. - Bewildered Black America

As a resident of California, I know that the state of our democracy affects us all. The priority corporate interests have taken over the well-being of citizens illustrates the crisis we are in. Only by uniting and demanding change will we be able to see progress.
