  • Sequestration is ill-conceived and devastating legislation which must be repealed immediately.
    Congress made a bad decision by enacting "Sequestration" and does not have the integrity to step up and correct it in the face of it's obvious and disastrous effects. Last week, they demonstrated their ability to act almost overnight when they quietly overhauled their own Insider-Trading Law (to their benefit), and they can do it again when it will benefit so many ordinary Americans in so many different and vitally important ways. The unintended and devastating consequences of this ill conceived legislation are far beyond anyone's ability to foresee and it must be repealed immediately in the interests of America and the American People.

  • Diocese of Columbus: Reinstate faculty member Carla Hale
    While grieving the death of her mother, 19-year teaching veteran Carla Hale was called into her principal's office at Bishop Watterson High School in Columbus, Ohio, and told she was being terminated for violating Diocesan Policy 45116.1, the code barring teachers from violating "moral laws." When pushed for specifics, administrators told Carla an anonymous parent had complained after seeing Carla's long-time partner, Julie, mentioned in her mother's obituary. Carla Hale was a much loved and well-respected teacher at Bishop Watterson. Please sign the petition to the Diocese of Columbus asking them to comply with a Columbus ordinance prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and immediately reinstate her as a teacher.

  • License Certified Professional Midwives in Kentucky
    Kentucky Home Birth Coalition is working to license direct-entry midwives using the Certified Professional Midwife credential. Kentucky Has a higher rate of home birth than the national average yet has no path to licensure for direct-entry midwives who provide the majority of care to these families. Women need access to quality maternity care regardless of their chosen place of birth. Certified Professional Midwives (CPM) are nationally credentialed midwives who are licensed in 27 other states and provide evidence-based and cost effective primary maternity care. More and more Kentucky women are choosing to give birth at home and need access to quality midwifery care. We urge the Kentucky legislature to vote yes to license Certified Professional Midwives.

  • Thank You U.S. Senate
    I would like to send a huge "Thank You" to all of the U.S. senators that stood up and defended the constitution and my 2nd amendment rights by voting "Nay" on the gun control measures that were recently voted on in the U.S. Senate. These gun control measures would have done absolutely nothing to make our country safer. The only thing they would have accomplished would be limiting the 2nd amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.

  • Sexual Predators in the Dept of Defense
    The Department of Defense is a paradise for sexual predators, who are often promoted into positions of power over immature persons. Very little accountability accountability exists in the DOD. Senior predators know how to game the system, and have undue influence. The DOD and its employees tend to be self serving and biased. the victims of sexual predators often have a nightmare experience seeking justice in an unresponsive or adversarial DOD that believes the predator

  • Lobbyist Money Transparency
    In light of the recent purchase of American Politics regarding the lack of a vote on Gun Legislation, complete transparency of monies given by lobbyists is tantamount to returning politics to the people. Any and every politician must reveal the source and the amounts of money accepted. AS SOON AS IT IS ACCEPTED.

  • Principal Aulenbacher: Don't Sacrifice Your Gift
    Principal George Aulenbacher, After the recent media attention surrounding Katelyn Campbell's outspoken protest against Pam Stenzel's event at George Washington High School, I wanted to congratulate you and your institution for producing such an accomplished student. Surely you must feel privileged to know that you have presided over the education and awakening of such an student as accomplished as Campbell. She has demonstrated every tenet of the American civil ideal. She is courageous, socially aware, and thinks critically. She stands up for what she believes, and engages in the time-honored tradition of civil disobedience to affect necessary change. She holds her ground even in the face of hostile authority because she knows, and now you know, that her position is based on evidence and righteousness rather than rhetoric or politics. As you know, West Virginia ranks as the ninth highest state in pregnancies in the United States. Abstinence-only education is a fad that has lasted for more than a decade, and it honestly hasn't helped very much. Pretty consistently, states across the country with policies of abstinence-only education have higher instances of unwanted pregnancies and STI transmission. Furthermore, Steubenville High School also has an abstinence-only sex education policy. Clearly, abstinence-only education may not be the most effective method of controlling the negative side effects of teen sexuality. Campbell has been able to look at this data, draw a conclusion that something needs to change, and has made a suggestion for that change. Such rationality in the face of hysterical rhetoric along the lines of "every instance of sexual contact will lead to a sexually transmitted infection" (which you absolutely must admit you know to be untrue, if you've ever had a child or been in a serious relationship) is admirable. The education of high school students is a very serious undertaking and so many negative influences can interfere with accomplishing this goal. Numbered among these are poverty, child abuse, bullying, learning disabilities--and it's so difficult to get right down to the process of raising young adults to be knowledgeable, successful, independent, socially aware, critically thinking Americans with all of these distractions. Adding unwanted pregnancies and STIs to the mix clearly exacerbates this difficulty. You, Campbell, and I can probably all agree on this. And this is why you should be proud of Campbell, and proud of yourself for being part of the administration that has led to her graduation and acceptance into a prestigious college. She recognizes that these are problems, and also recognizes that misinformation and fear-mongering like that provided by Stenzel are not the best method to bringing teens into successful adulthood with knowledge, independence, awareness, and critical thinking skills. Not only does she recognize this, but she also has the courage to try to do something about it and the ability to articulate the change that needs to be made clearly and concisely. As Steve Prefontaine said, "To give anything less than the best is to sacrifice the gift." Campbell has refused to sacrifice her gift, and is giving her best. Can you say, objectively, that you are doing the same? You might be, because Campbell is one of your successes. You make more Campbells, and you're building a better America for all of us. If you build more Pam Stenzels, Principal Aulenbacher, then you are sacrificing your gift. Yours, Jacob Lewis
