On 3/15/2012 the Paradise Valley Unified School District board met in Phoenix, AZ. At that meeting, which was very contentious, they fired beloved principal PV High School principal Cynthia Davis - SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE IS A GAY WOMAN.

Hello I am a alumi of august martin high School. I feel that the school should stay open for the rest of the year.

I understand that the low cost spay and neuter clinics are under attack to be closed in Al. I am proposing that they not be closed because of the need of people in Alabama that cannot afford to get their dog or cat spayed and neutered. This in no way should threaten our local veterinarian. I have used my family veterinarian for many years and so have all the peope I know. But there are those who cannot afford the going rates for spay and neuter and can get their pets spayed or neutered for a reduced cost. This reduces greatly the no. of animals that end up in the animal shelters and many end up getting euthanized. The fewer animals conceived the less the tax payers have to pay for the animal shelters. Many people during this economical downturn have had to relinquish their pets to a shelter. What would it be like if the family dog just had eight puppies and they were all relinquished too. Animals cannot speak for themselves so I take this opportunity to speak for them.

Too many lives have been taken by the Police and there is no accountability for their actions. We the people must be advocates for those whose lives were taken without any regard of their Civil or Human Rights.

Those who follow sports, particularly the NFL, are likely familiar with the New Orleans Saints "Bountygate" scandal. Roger Goodell's recent suspension of New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Peyton for one year for his failure to stop the bounty program that he did not participate in is not only excessive it is punative to the entire organization, players, and the fans.
