House Bill 512, which allows weapons on college campuses, in places of worship, and in bars, passed the Georgia House of Representatives with overwhelming support last week. As a college professor and a minister, I find this terrifying. The Georgia University System as a whole opposes this legislation, but the House supported a few students at urban campuses who feel unsafe and want to carry weapons. Georgia Senate and Governor Deal: fund increased security on these campuses. Don't endanger everyone in the most emotional and/or alcohol soaked places in the state!

UNJUST TERMINATION BY MTA AFTER OVER 14 YEARS OF SERVICE. THE MTA DID NOT FOLLOW THEIR OWN POLICIES.

Sign on if you TRULY want to OWN your home.

Sadly, Rep. David Knight House Bill 399 to undermine the taxing authority of the Clayton County government has passed the house and is making its way to the senate. If this bill becomes law it means a loss of $15 million in revenue that fund our schools. It will bleed our educational system and further stagnant our economic recovery. We must make defeating this bill our top priority.

IT'S TIME TO END DISCRIMINATION IN HOUSING AND IN THE WORK FORCE AGAINST THE LGBT COMMUNITY.

Sadly, Rep. David Knight from Griffin, Georgia has introduced House Bill 399 to undermine the taxing authority of the Clayton County government to collect taxes from vendors who lease space at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The airport is located in Clayton which is why the tax code is now being rigged to accomplish this scheme. If this bill becomes law it means a loss of $15 million in revenue that fund our schools. It will bleed our educational system and further stagnant our economic recovery. We must make defeating this bill our top priority.

The decision as to whether to accept Medicaid assistance from the federal government is being considered by the Florida House, whose leader opposes it along party lines. The governor, Rick Scott who has refused it for several years, now is in favor of providing Medicaid expansion. Economic conditions caused by unregulated government policies and wasteful spending have caused severe financial hardships for hard working people who paid taxes that have provided this funding. Health care costs have skyrocketed! This Medicaid funding is desperately needed for thousands of Floridians. This is not a "party" issue, it is making a humane decision for persons who elected these officials and have provided the money to help themselves and others at a period of extreme need. It is time to serve the people and not special interest groups who elect officials.

Pelican Bay Prison has been a hot spot of controversy, and the controversy is NOT the prisoners, but those who run the prison itself, namely the BOP and CDCr, CCPOA, Gov. Brown and every staff member for allowing the abuse to perpetuate such practices of human warehousing for profit.

To stop the abuse of process by DOJ the judicial process involving homeowners (7 million of them last count). BANKS ARE COMMITTING THEFT OF PROPERTY AGAINST ALL CALIFORNIA HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE OUR LEGISLATURE TWISTED AROUND THEIR FINGERS!!

In August of 2005 Stephen Slevin was pulled over driving through New Mexico and arrested for DWI. Upon arrival to the jail, they think he's suicidal, and they put him in a padded cell for three days, but never give him any treatment. Nor did they give him a trial. Slevin said he never saw a judge during his time in confinement. After three days in the padded cell, jail guards transferred Slevin into solitary confinement with no explanation for 22 months. While in solitary confinement, a prisoner is entitled to one hour per day out of the cell, but often times, Slevin wasn't even granted that. The neglect was so bad that his toenails were growing so long that they curled around his foot, and fungus festered on his skin because he was deprived of showers. By the time Slevin got out of jail, his hair was shaggy and overgrown, his beard long, and his face pale and sunken, a drastic contrast from the clean-shaven booking photo taken of him when he was arrested two years prior. No one should be treated this way. Our nations animal shelters treat its pets better than this human being was. Stephen Slevin has since justifiably been been awarded a $15.5 million settlement, however not one jail official responsible for this appalling behavior has yet to be charged with criminal neglect, fired, or disciplined in any matter what so ever. Lets send a strong message that this type of deplorable treatment will not be tolerated in New Mexico or any other state in our country and abroad. Please sign my petition.
