Appleton should send a clear message that violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender citizens of Kurgan is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Russia’s sports minister, Vitaly Mutko, has said that foreign nationals, including Olympic athletes and spectators, will be subject to Russia's anti-gay laws during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Russian law allows police officers to arrest tourists and foreign nationals they suspect of being homosexual, lesbian, or “pro-gay” and detain them for up to 14 days. Russia's “gay propaganda” law makes any parents who tell their children that being gay is okay, any Pride parade organizer, any health official distributing information regarding safe sex between same-sex partners, and even judges and lawyers subject to arrest or fine. Already people are being arrested, beaten, intimidated, and more.

Politician and Frederick County Commissioners' President Blaine R. Young, 50% owner of Frederick City Cab/Yellow Cab has never served a day in his life for his country. Yet, because his less than 51% partner Jerry Woods has, he advertises ‘A Veteran-Owned Company' on his cabs. Why does 1% matter? A 2009 GAO report found that fraud and abuse allowed ineligible firms to obtain $100 million of dollars in contracts. From the VA Veteran-Owned Small Business Verification Guidelines - Regulation 38 CFR § 74.3: • An applicant or participant must be at least 51 percent unconditionally and directly owned by one or more Veterans or service-disabled Veterans. How do we know? Young has reported his 50% ownership of City Cab/Yellow Cab and affiliates on his annual Frederick County Ethics Disclosure Forms for three years in a row. Both Young and his partner feel they have the right to advertise their falsehood intent upon deceiving nearby Ft. Detrick military staff, contractors, the general public, and (unique to this situation) campaign funding voters. Worst of all, they pretend their ‘Direct Bill’ subcontract arrangement with one of their largest customers, federal contractor SAIC/ALIANT (featuring a Direct Order/Direct Bill contract payment option) and ACH reimbursements from Frederick County Social Services aren’t really contract agreements at all. Yet, each day they remain unchallenged, a more potentially deserving VA and SBA registered ‘Veteran-Owned’ and ‘Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business’ is neglected and misdirected income is lost. Why then, do AMVETS and more specifically, AMVETS POST #2 ‘The Farm’ in Frederick County, Maryland continue to support and accept funds from Blaine R. Young’s Yellow Cab Picnic for Veterans? I once knew an older and wiser SDVOB who pondered long and hard whether or not to help his business grow by compromising the integrity of his own service by telling a lie or to ask his non-veteran partner to diminish the value of his mutual personal investment in the company they jointly owned. His honor prevailed. BZ to this American hero for a job well done. Blaine Young and Jerry Woods of Yellow Cab, where have your consciences and respect for Veterans gone? AMVETS, you have the power to stop condoning and benefiting from this disingenuous behavior. Please stop the upcoming Yellow Cab/AMVETS Post #2 FARM Picnic and put an end to the misrepresentation. Our petition is asking you to act on behalf of all deserving Veteran-Owned and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses today.

This petition is in relation to Bijorn Trent vs. Lehigh county in an alleged homicide that occurred December 4, 2012. The ex- friend (Lourdes Gonzalez) and 3 of her friends went to the defendants house and vandalized his common law wife's car and then jumped the defendant. The defendant hit one of her friends knocking him unconscious and the unconscious man was later pronounced dead. APD was called prior to the incident in relation to the exfriend harassing and threatening the defendants wife for months before the incident. The whole situation was caught on tape and Lehigh County still has not charged the aggressor with a crime. In addition there are 3 other families who were also subject to the same situation caused by no other than Lourdes Gonzalez. All four families have suffered a great deal of loss such as employment, jail time, or having to relocate from their homes because Lourdes Gonzalez has not been charged for her crimes. This is an absolute injustice to these families who have to now live in fear because even with evidence this criminal (Lourdes Gonzalez) is allowed to roam free and victimize someone else. This is an outrage to our community of tax paying citizens who buy into the justice system by being law abiding tax paying citizens. Where is the justice for these families?

Two women were driving their car on the highway when they were pulled over for throwing out a cigarette. The next thing they know, the state trooper claimed to smell marijuana, and the women received a full body cavity search. The female trooper who conducted the cavity search has already been fired, the male trooper is under investigation, and the women are suing for sexual assault. This incident is bad enough, but it isn’t an isolated occurrence among the Texas state Highway Patrol. It has happened before and it might happen again unless something is done. Tell the Department of Justice to investigate the Texas Department of Public Safety for multiple cases of Fourth Amendment rights violations.
