Vernon T Bateman is a young man wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit! Please spread the word and join us in New Castle Dec 9th 8am(est). This all started in 1998 when he was charged of rape without any proof, only based on accusations. The rape kit was done but not used to set him free. He had the burden of proof. This is a wrongful conviction! Based on a sworn statement from Doctor Winston when this case was first brought to trial, there was no evidence of any forced entry, semen or DNA on her to convict Vernon Bateman. Nurse Koppen testified that she perfomed the sexual assault kit and was given to Det Mary Banks and was passed on to prosecution. The prosecution testified it was destroyed, We must put a stop to this injustice!!! Help us bring this to justice! Vernon has been locked up again because of Parole. They are making it hard for him. Its almost like he has been framed. We are asking everyone to please join us in New Castle along with his attorneys and our Congressional leaders on December 9th for a hearing to determined if he will be freed or not. The board has to hear both sides. Lets come together. Enough is Enough!!This has happened to many. How many more do we have to fight for? Our goal is to reunite him with his daughter and family and free him and vindicate him of all charges! To God be the Glory!!

East Orlando (Orange County) residents have been blindsided since 2010 by new expressway construction and demolition that has damaged homes, lowered property values, wasted $70 MILLION in taxpayer monies, and increased traffic gridlock. Prior to its 2010 inception, the local Expressway Authority gave NO warning or notice and held NO Public Meetings with area residents. This ongoing project will NOT end until 2014 or 2015 and represents a HUGE violation of the FL Sunshine Law -- but there are currently NO grounds for criminal prosecution.

Who "owns" our elections and politicians? Those who pay for them. The power of the electorate today is controlled by special interest groups and the very rich. Only "we the people" should shown "own" elections. The public alone should fund elections. Then, the currency of elections used to decide who wins will be the ideas and policies of candidates, not dollars.

Gov. Snyder and Michigan's Republican State Legislature are planning to rig the electorial college in future Presidential Elections.

Many students who attend our public schools are filled with anger!!They step from their school buses that way. I'm a retired high school teacher who now works as a substitute, and I witness fights no less than 5 times a week!! Sometimes more! Students must learn alternative methods for solving their conflicts other than loud, violent verbal exchanges and physical fights. If they aren't learning how to control their anger and solve their problems in a more peaceful way at home, where and when will they learn?

The lack of regulatory policies as currently exist in states such as Arizona unconsciounably authorize and perpetuate the irresponsible use of weapons by those who prefer to not be law abiding citizens. The continued daily use of weapons in illegal ways may not be totally eliminated, but enforcing more substantial regulation can only help to prevent needless tragedy. If one life is saved, it will be worth the effort.

Since the Court ruled that property tax cannot be the major source of school funding the Court should get involved in Governor Kasich's plan to reduce income taxes. Maybe the Court could specify the amount of State responsibility to the schools and that it be included in the budget before any reduction in income taxes.
