The euthanization of innocent animals is already an epidemic in this country. However, Clayton County animal control uses two horrific methods for euthanizing the animals who have not been adopted. It is called the "Heart Stick" method and the "gas Chamber" both of which are an excruciatingly way for anyone to have to suffer. Please help stop these two horrendous methods .

The Voting Rights Act protects our democracy by allowing all eligible voters to participate in electing our leaders. Congressman Duncan should cosponsor this Act and fight to restore voting protections for all our citizens.

I believe in liberty and justice for all. “The Voting Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress has ever passed. Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of it. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Price should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.”

Our country's strength depends on the support of the people. Because last year's Supreme Court decision weakened the Voting Rights Act, we need strong legislators to correct and strengthen it with the Voting Rights Act Amendment.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have made headlines for standing up against racism and homophobia. Now, they can continue to fight for justice by supporting workers who are fighting for their rights on the job. T-Mobile, which is sponsoring a Macklemore & Ryan Lewis concert on January 23rd, has been using “brutal psychological terror” on its workers -- like verbal abuse, threats, and, in one workplace, forcing workers to wear dunce caps and sit in a corner if they don’t meet their quotas. Many workers have reported suffering from migraines, stroke symptoms, high-blood pressure, anxiety and depression because of the abuse. It’s gotten so bad that in one town that doctors describe people as having “T-Mobile disease.” And when workers try to change their workplace environment, they’ve been fired, disciplined, and interrogated in basements and systematically told to not collectively voice their concerns. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have used their celebrity status to raise the conversation about important injustices. They can do it again and send a message to T-Mobile that they won’t work with a company that treats its workers this badly.

This is not (yet) a post-racial society, and ALL citizens deserve to have their voting rights protected. The slice&dice in the 2013 renewal of the Voting Rights Act was a travesty of Congressional responsibility and a tragedy for American democracy. The 2014 Amendment WILL repair the Voting Rights Act! Wisconsin is a state with a long history of progressive legislation that protected the rights of ALL its citizens -- please stand up and act like a Wisconsinite: Support the REPAIR AMENDMENT!

Stephens Media is shutting down Las Vegas CityLife, the only alternative weekly in our community. For 21 years, its writers investigated, asked the difficult questions and spoke truth to power. Las Vegas has a drought of progressive news and commentary. We the undersigned ask Stephens Media to support freedom and diversity of speech in our community and allow Las Vegas CityLife to continue publication.

The voting rights act was hard fought and should be supported to its original mandates.

The Voting Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress has passed. Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of it. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Upton should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.

On Tuesday, January 21, federal prosecutors indicted Bob and Maureen McDonnell on charges stemming from the Star Scientific gift scandal. These charges only underscore the need for real ethics reform in Richmond. Politicians in Richmond will try to pass an empty bill with no real changes so they can keep accepting free dinner, free Redskins tickets, and free trips to France. We deserve better. We deserve better than ethics reform legislation so full of loopholes any elected official could still accept shopping trips, vacations, Rolex watches, and rounds of golf, just like Bob McDonnell.

The Voting Rights Act is one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation Congress has ever passed. Last year's Supreme Court decision weakened critical provisions of it. Right now, Congress can restore those protections by passing this important bill. Rep. Coffman should support this effort by cosponsoring and fighting for a strong bill.

I want the right to vote for myself and for future voters in my culture. We do not wish to go back to paying a poll tax and having to recite parts of the constitution or whatever some anti-person ask of us.
