JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Florida woman who fired warning shots against her allegedly abusive husband has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville had said the state's "Stand Your Ground" law should apply to her because she was defending herself against her allegedly abusive husband when she fired warning shots inside her home in August 2010. She told police it was to escape a brutal beating by her husband, against whom she had already taken out a protective order. CBS Affiliate WETV reports that Circuit Court Judge James Daniel handed down the sentence Friday. Under Florida's mandatory minimum sentencing requirements Alexander could receive a lesser sentence, even though she has never been in trouble with the law before. Judge Daniel said the law did not allow for extenuating or mitigating circumstances to reduce the sentence below the 20-year minimum. "I really was crying in there," Marissa's 11-year-old daughter told WETV. "I didn't want to cry in court, but I just really feel hurt. I don't think this should have been happening." Alexander was convicted of attempted murder after she rejected a plea deal for a three-year prison sentence. She said she did not believe she did anything wrong. She was recently denied a new trial after appealing to the judge to reconsider her case based on Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law. The law states that the victim of a crime does not have to attempt to run for safety and can immediately retaliate in self-defense. Alexander's attorney said she was clearly defending herself and should not have to spend the next two decades behind bars. George Zimmerman gets bailed out TWICE and he KILLED a young man!!!

Allow every Natural Born U.S. Citizen without Photo I.D. to VOTE ************************************************************************ Dear Attorney General Holder, The 1965 Voting Rights Act is legislation in which America can be truly proud. However, in the past two years it has come under assault by politicians who seem to care more about Winning at any cost, than about fairness and dignity. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, along with countless other Americans, gave their lives for the freedoms so many enjoy today and one of the most important initiatives they fought for was the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Today, we have States that are seeking to change the election process to such a degree that discrimination is inevitable. The proponents of these changes have managed to get Voter I.D. Laws changed at the state level, and now it is up to you Sir, to decide whether to allow this injustice to continue, or to do what is fair and just, and approved by WE THE peoples, " Right To Vote Action" Please don't let the rights that so many Americans fought and died for to be for nothing. Don't approve any changes to the election process that may Disenfranchise any American Voter. Lets put these useless Voter I.D. laws to use for the people! ************************************************************************

Join the Charlotte Black/African-American Heritage Tour in demanding the removal of disgraceful symbols of our past off the city-owned Time Warner Cable Arena, home of the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC.

This is a petition for the cable channel BET to be renamed. As a black American I no longer wish for this station and the programs aired to represent the views or preferences of myself or my race. The lack of positive programming geared toward the black community casts a negative light on people of color and until they learn what it really means to be black in America they should no longer have the right to represent our culture.

No more career politicians. They become corrupt. I think a two or four year term for all congressmen, and senators and that's it...you're out of there!

People need to have choice when it comes to political candidates. The National Media continues to roadblock this by only allowing the Republican and Democratic candidates in the televised Presidential National Debates. They do this by conducting their own poll and then use it to reject any other candidate. In this case Gary Johnson the Libertarian Candidate who is also on the Ballot. He is the candidate that will 1. Bring all of our troops home 2. End the War on Drugs 3. Abolish the IRS and replace with the Fair Tax 4. Label GMO's 5. Conduct an objective investigation of 911
