Sen. McKoon, wants to block access to driver’s licenses for immigrants who have been granted a humanitarian reprieve from deportation, including battered spouses, parents with seriously ill children and crime victims who are serving as witnesses in police investigations. Under federal law, immigrants who have been granted deferred action status are legally allowed to live and work in the U.S., so there is absolutely no reason to block their access to legally obtaining driver’s licenses. McKoon and anti-immigrant zealot D.A. King want to punish people by making it harder for them to take their child to the doctor, harder to get to court to testify against the person who harmed them and more difficult to provide for their families. McKoon drafted the bill with the advice of anti-immigrant extremist D.A. King, who has been criticized by the Anti-Defamation League for his suggestion that undocumented immigrants are “not here to mow your lawn – they’re here to blow up your buildings and kill your children, and you, and me.” Mr. King has also asserted that the United States is “being invaded and colonized” by a “Mexican mob that brings with it a culture of lawlessness and chaos.” Sen. McKoon’s anti-immigrant bill is unjust, unnecessary and a prime example of government overreach and discrimination. Tell your lawmakers that Georgians won’t stand for extreme legislation designed to strip away people’s rights.

I have personally been affected by reading dreadful stories every day about what is happening to people in our country of so-called "Liberty." We are falling far short of the mark on this, and far from our country's vision.

***As Of 11/24/2014 at 5am, Google has removed this game*** The game 'Ass Hunter' has been hosted online since 2006, but as of yesterday is now available on all Android devices through the Google App Store. The game description reads, 'Legendary game, where you are hunter and your mission is to kill gays as much as you can or escape between them to the next level. Gays may be hidden in bushes and unexpectedly catch you. 'Remember! When they catch you they will do with you whatever they want.' --As of today, November 23rd, Google has not responded to requests for comment. As a member of the LGBT community myself, I find it utterly offensive that Google would allow a game on their app store that explicitly endorses the killing of LGBTQ people. As a company, Google touts their dedication to diversity and inclusiveness. It is my belief that those policies should also carry over to the requirements of apps in their Apps Store. Please join me in asking Google to remove this horrible app from their store.

I'm just tired of seeing dogs get shot and killed by cops. It is mostly pit bulls or dogs that resemble pits. More than half of the pits shot and killed are wrongfully labeled as soon. And The cops do it justice because the dog Is scared so its growling. I've even seen it done to a pit that was wagging it's tail and not being aggressive but the cop shot it in the head and claimed he feared for his life. This needs to end everywhere. The best option for everyone would be to use a tranquillizer gun. Besides, if they have time to shoot a bullet, they have time to shoot a tranquillizer dart.

As an Olmsted County Resident I refuse to sit idly by and watch Board waste tax revenue by locking up illnesses such as alcoholism/addiction at the cost of up to 50,000 per year. When it has been proven time and again that those who qualify for the services of a drug court do not get better in jail, but get better with treatment and supportive services which cost far less than incarceration. Olmsted County Community Corrections already work with eligible offenders in a 'Highly Structured,' and monitored treatment option which is held in the detention center. Let us now bring the courts into the mix like Counties all over this nation..

So many children struggle with this disorder and I have personally seen the effects of APD. With APD not being recognized, my daughter can only receive a Section 504 with limited accommodations. That's not enough. She deserves more. She needs more. Unfortunately, she can't get more. Let's stop the insanity! Please sign and get APD recognized for ALL children with processing disorders - equality for ALL!!!!!

Reasonable Americans realized within a short time after the Benghazi attacks that Congressman Darrell Issa--and the GOP--only intended to cynically use the horrible event as a political tool to discredit and undermine the President and the State Department. Those same Republicans are continually voting against, and have successfully denied, taxpayer-funded money for much needed social services in our communities. WE, the taxpayers and bosses of the U.S. Congress, are sick of paying for these absurd conspiracies when millions of children are starving and many thousands of our veterans are sleeping homeless on sidewalks. WE demand that a full accounting be made of the costs associated with the Benghazi investigations and that Darrell Issa, a multimillionaire worth over 500 million dollars, immediately return the money to the U.S. treasury. Background: On November 21, 2014 the Republican-led House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) released the findings of a nearly two year investigative report into the attacks on two U.S. facilities in Benghazi. This report, like many before it, debunked myths about the attacks, concluding that there was no intelligence failure prior to the attacks, no stand down order was issued during attacks, and the administration's initial talking points about the attacks were based on the Central Intelligence Agency's assessment at the time, as the administration has long maintained. The Committee also found that there was no intelligence failure prior to the attacks. The GOP, with Congressman Darrell Issa as the main ring-leader, has relentlessly pursued an investigation into the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya. These hearings have been cheered on by right-wing media, and according to a Pentagon commander have reportedly cost taxpayers multiple millions of dollars and wasted thousands of hours in government funded personnel time.

WANT BUFFS FOR SHAMANS

I dont want one US soldier or Iranian to die because the war corporations have bought out congress.

We are all affected by this. It is designed to eliminate the Electoral College.

Moving our Coats-Erwin kids to Dunn Middle to settle overcrowding. This is a short term solution and will not help the problem. We need more schools or other solutions. Please sign my petition if you live in Coats, Erwin, Buies Creek or Dunn and if you are 18 and older.

As a psychologist, I and many colleagues have seen how the absence of Out-of-Network benefits has hurt many people by creating an unnecessary obstacle to getting needed care.
