• Rep. Conyers: Bring the Drone War Out of the Shadows
    The Administration has claimed that its drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen are legal under U.S. law, but it has never shared with Congress or the American people all of its legal memos purportedly giving legal justification for the policy. The Administration has also not told Congress or the American people who we are at war with - which groups the Administration claims it has the authority to target with drone strikes under U.S. law. By introducing legislation to compel the Administration to share this information with Congress and the public, Representative Conyers will give Americans concerned about the drone strike policy a way to engage Members of Congress on the issue.

  • Petition to re-evaluate the “card” system to better promote academic achievement.
    My public high school uses an ID system in which each student is issued a certain color of card. Gold and platinum cards are privilege cards and red cards are not. Poorly based off of "grades and attendance" has left many 4.0 students with red cards for missing 1 day to go visit a college.

  • Bring the Bottle Bill to Maryland
    Our waterways, neighborhoods and parks are littered with bottles and cans and Maryland’s recycling rate is far below the national average. The Bottle Bill would set up a 5 cent redeemable deposit on bottles and cans - we know this works because 10 other states have done it and they’ve all seen major increases in recycling and reductions in litter. We want to deliver 8,000 signatures to Governor O'Malley this fall so he hears loud and clear: We want a Maryland Bottle Bill.

  • Attn: YouTube and Facebook
    A photo uploaded to Facebook this past Friday has gone viral due to its racist and disrespectful tenor. A trio of young Floridians appear in the image, a woman flanked by two men, with the two men unabashedly wearing handmade Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman Halloween costumes. The Zimmerman costume consists of a black "neighborhood watch" t-shirt while the Martin costume includes black face and a blood stained grey hooded sweatshirt. In addition, the Zimmerman character has fashioned his hand into a gun and is pointing it at Martin's head. Your policies state: •We encourage free speech and defend everyone's right to express unpopular points of view. But we don't permit hate speech (speech which attacks or demeans a group based on race or ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, and sexual orientation/gender identity). Hate Speech "Hate speech" refers to content that promotes hatred against members of a protected group. For instance, racist or sexist content may be considered hate speech. Sometimes there is a fine line between what is and what is not considered hate speech. For instance, it is generally okay to criticize a nation, but not okay to make insulting generalizations about people of a particular nationality. ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!!

  • Help Lee & McGovern End the War in Afghanistan
    The Obama Administration is trying to get an agreement with the government of Afghanistan that would keep thousands of U.S. troops there after 2014, constantly exposed to mortal danger. No U.S. commitment to keep thousands of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan beyond 2014 should be allowed without prior Congressional debate and authorization, consistent with the Congressional role in making decisions about war envisioned by the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution. Congress didn’t allow the Administration to bomb Syria without Congressional authorization; Congress shouldn’t allow the Administration to keep thousands of U.S. troops in Afghanistan without Congressional authorization. Urge President Obama to go to Congress for explicit approval before making any commitment to keep thousands of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and urge Congress to insist on a Congressional debate and vote before any such commitment takes place.

  • Pima County (AZ) Board of Supervisors: Don’t let people who shouldn’t have guns buy them on Count...
    People who are unable to pass a background check can obtain guns legally at gun shows held at the County Fairgrounds by buying from unlicensed sellers (private sales). This "loophole" makes it possible for people who shouldn't have guns to bring them into our neighborhoods, carry them openly anywhere in Arizona, and sell them to others. By allowing this to happen on public, County property, the County is promoting an unsafe situation. Tell the County Supervisors: Don’t let people who shouldn’t have guns buy them on County property!

  • New skatepark in Searcy
    Most of us skaters can not get all the way out to the skatepark we currently have. The current skatepark we have breaks a lot and does not conform to all of our skating styles. Most of the skaters in Searcy skate around business' of downtown Searcy. If we had a skatepark that was in downtown Searcy it would keep us out of the local business' way.
