Grandparents' Visitation Rights in the state of IL (750 ILCS) Section 607 should be amended to allow: (F) Biological grandparents and/or other immediate biological family members should have the unconditional right to maintain a relationship with grandchildren, except in cases of abuse or neglect by either the parent or grandparent.

(2) In cases in which the parent unjustly denies communication or visitation between a child and their grandparent or other biological relative, rather than immediately siding with the parent,the court should appoint a guardian ad litem to evaluate the situation in order to determine whether or not the parent's action are truly in the best interest of the child;or whether they are in fact detrimental to the child's overall well-being and physical and emotional development. (3) In cases such as this, the guardian ad litem should have extensive interactions and conversations with all parties involved including, parents, grandparents, and other biological relatives as well as the child. The findings of the guardian ad litem should be considered by the court before any decisions are made regarding visitation and/or communication between the child and their grandparents and/or other biological relatives.

The election of 2012 demonstrated how the current state controlled system can be manipulated to disenfranchise and inconvenience many voters. Leaving redisticting to the states allows gerrymandering to occur whch can favor a party or an incumbent unfairly (i.e. the 2012 congressional election in which one party won a majority of the popular vote but the other party won more seats).

The United States incarcerates more people than all the other developed nations combined! It's Prison Nation, not the Beloved Country. We have 40,000 prisoners in AZ prisons and uncounted more in Federal detention centers for illegal immigrants. The AZ Dept of Corrections(DOC) costs One Billion Dollars in our state budget! That number is ever increasing as money for education is decreasing. Funds could be spent better if activists, politicians,teachers, prison guards,families of prisoners, WE work together for a cheaper, yet more humane, justice system in Arizona. Did you know that most convicts return to prison soon after their release (recidivism)? All they know is crime. How about rehabilitation? A Second Chance! NO, Instead, many times the convict spends years in isolation, even if the person has a severe mental illness! They are brutalized by the system and by each other. How can we expect them to change? How can we get them to become respectable, contributing members of society? The community will be safer! Crime rates go down! The AZ legislature opened January 31st and is now arguing about the budget. A perfect time to lobby for reasoning together. . Tell your friends to sign on for prison reform campaigns! Study the issue. Start a discussion at church. Read the book, "Jim Crow Nation", published last year. Write or visit a prisoner. Many avenues to follow, hopefully many followers to come.

THE FORT LAUDERDALE RAIN TREE IS A NATIONAL TREASURE! In 1987 The Fort Lauderdale City Commission declared the "FORT LAUDERDALE RAIN TREE" PROTECTED" against REMOVAL or DAMAGE. A DEVELOPER WANTS TO BUILD CONDOMINIUMS where the RAIN TREE LIVES and wants to MOVE this tree to a too-small 90' lot next to a warehouse and away from the River. THE DEVELOPER OF "Marina Lofts" will not alter their plans to keep the tree safely ON THE LOT THE RAIN TREE LIVES ON, on the eco-sensitive New River, already home to multiple condominiums - many of which are in foreclosure and whose units are EMPTY. IT IS "Supposed to be" a PROTECTED TREE! The Only Experts who say the Tree will survive a move are the EXPERTS BEING PAID BY THE DEVELOPER and they are THE ONLY ONES WHO SAY THE RAIN TREE CAN SURVIVE on this too small lot. IF THE FORT LAUDERDALE RAIN TREE IS MOVED THE DEVELOPERS OF MARINA LOFTS ENDANGERS ITS EXISTENCE.

Employees and job applicants across Texas have reported being asked by their employer for their social media passwords. Texans looking for a job or who have one should not be required to sacrifice their personal privacy in order to get a job. This is a violation of a person's space and should have no place in employment. Several states including Illinois and California have already passed legislation banning this practice, now it's our turn to do it in Texas. Tell Texas lawmakers to support SB 118 and HB 318, measures that would make this practice illegal.
