Marriage equality should apply to all. The definition of marriage should not be limited to one man and one woman but should include all our gay and lesbian citizens. The American way of life depends on inclusivity and is made richer by it.

Issues such as education, gobabl climate change, jobs, corporations and money controlling our elections, and issues of public safety are being ignored while time is spent on grilling people on Benghazi, IRS scandal, as well as anything else that they can focus on as opposed to focusing on government for the people. I am concerned for future of my children and their children,

St. Pius High School administration is refusing to recognize Damian's gender identity, even though all his classmates, teachers, and family know Damian as a male. The administration says that because he has "female" marked on his birth certificate -- despite the fact that he is now legally Damian and not Brandi -- he still must walk in a girl's cap and gown for graduation.

In just ten months, the United States managed to transform an 82 year-old Catholic nun and two pacifists from non-violent anti-nuclear peace protestors accused of misdemeanor trespassing into federal felons convicted of violent crimes of terrorism. Now in jail awaiting sentencing for their acts at an Oak Ridge, TN nuclear weapons production facility, their story should chill every person concerned about dissent in the US.

A 91-year-old man wants to stop his daughter from evicting him from the home he built 56 years ago in Zaleski, Ohio, a small community south of Columbus. In 2004, John Potter and his wife, who has since died, gave the general power of attorney to his daughter for future matters if they declined in health, including to take care of her autistic adult brother, now 63. But unbeknownst to Potter, his daughter Janice Cottrill eventually used that power to convey the deed to the one-story home to herself. In 2010, Potter said he learned of the deed transfer and switched power of attorney to his granddaughter, Jaclyn Fraley, now 35. Potter won in Vinton County Court, but an appeals court ruled last year that the statute of limitations of four years had passed on the accusation of fraud and thus the deed could not be handed back to Potter. Early this year, his daughter and her husband sent Potter an eviction notice, saying they had terminated his "existing lease." An eviction hearing will take place on June 12, during which the judge will have no choice but to evict Potter. Another reason Potter and his attorney believe Cottrill would sell the home is she began selling parcels – about 14 acres in total -- from a hunting property Potter had owned a few miles away from his home last year. This man needs our help.

After reading that the FBI had copied the phone calls of the AP reporters, I expected my emails to be flooded with outraged citizens asking me to man the barricades with them and demand that the confidentiality of their sources be respected as inviolate. Sadly, the only request for my signature on a petition was to support the marriage of two characters on a television show. Where is our moral indignation? Isn't it apparent to everyone that one of our greatest protections comes from the shielding of investigatory press? No whistle-blower, who may be the only witness to gross fraud, is going to step forward and chance all kinds of retribution without the protection of anonymity until all the facts can be uneartthed.

I've seen the injustices of mandatory long-term prison sentences in federal court. We can put a bi-partisan end to this. S. 619 is a bill introduced by Senators Rand Paul and Patrick Leahy. The bill would create a new safety valve for federal mandatory minimum sentences that, if enacted, would give judges the authority to sentence offenders below the minimum under certain circumstances. The safety valve the would be created by S. 619 is necessary because mandatory minimum sentences have created unsustainable prison spending and an explosion in the federal prison population. Allowing judges to use their discretion to sentence below minimums where appropriate means that prison beds and justice resources are saved for those who pose the biggest danger to the public. Tell Sen. Boozeman and Pryor to co-sponsor S. 619.

Due to the Electoral College these "well- to-do" people were able to take advantage of their role of choosing the president for the people by placing their electoral votes to George Bush. The shown & believed policy is the presidential candidate that wins the state gets the electoral votes (number of votes vary by state). The other part not talked about is the fact the the electors have the right to overrule the people's popular vote and shift their votes to the candidate THEY CHOSE. This is exactly what occurred in the 2000 Pres. Election between Gore & Bush. Al Gore won the popular vote yet somehow George Bush received enough electoral votes to win that election by way of this idiotic technicality. The Daily Press had his story on the the front page where one of the electors was quoted saying " I made what I felt was the choice for the American people in electing George Bush" More truthful eyes are on these elections so its a hard thing to duplicate. Which is why now they are trying to adjust districts of states to make certain areas electoral votes counts more than others. The electoral college needs to go before another controversial election occurs

Proportional electoral representation would give the American electorate that political power which special interests have monopolized. Our current winner take all, gerrymandered, and bought form of electoral representation unjustly concentrates both political and economic power in a few individuals and entities.
