When NC public school staff /SW can violate the rights of NC public school students and families and their is no provision for student or parent to file a complaint, because the SW is liscenced by DPI which supplies the school legal assistance and the only way a complaint can be filed is by the principal to DPI a system of structured accountability for all public school staff if NC public schools has disciplinary procedures for the students now its time for the NC public school staff.

Ending federal laws regulating cannabis, marijuana and hemp. Current federal law places these three substances in Schedule 1 of the drug code (No known medical use and/or great chance of abuse). There are many published studies showing the medical uses of marijuana or cannabis, some published by the government itself. Putting people in jail for using a plant that is basically a weed and totally safe is insane!

Symphony orchestras around the US are deteriorating due to smaller ticket sales, dwindling audiences, and less support from Foundations and the Government. Plus there have been union and management issues tearing apart orchestras that have been around for decades. We are calling on stronger Foundation and Corporate support, funds from individuals to spark new ideas that will attract younger and larger audiences.

I demand that the patriot act is repealed. Restore our rights and civil liberties.

Stopping Wall St. speculative traders like Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, etc. I understand by using a law already on the books to limit excessive speculative trading can lower gas prices approximately $.80 to $1. 00 + per gal. Even the Republicans are complaining about gas prices. Glive them what they want, lower gas prilces. It helps the ecomomy and President Obama, plus the 99%.

Restoring the Bill of Rights For more than two hundred years the people of the United States have been struggling and sometimes dying to defend their freedoms from threats both foreign and domestic. The Constitution requires that all Presidents and Representatives swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Yet, since the attack of 9/11/01, some lawmakers, under cover of fear, have advanced the Patriot Act, the National Defense Authorization Act and other legislation that directly contradicts and infringes upon the Bill of Rights. In the name of security, most of our rights under the original Ten Amendments have been eroded, reduced or effectively lost.

We’re M. David Paul & Associates and have been in the San Fernando Valley for over 35 years. Our goal is to invest in the future of Sherman Oaks and for the past 5 years, we have been working to bring il Villaggio Toscano (IVT), a mixed-use residential and shopping center with neighborhood-serving retail, a specialty grocery store, and a 13,000 sq. ft. plaza with seating areas accessible to the public, and art highlighting the history of Sherman Oaks. Proposed for the corner of Camarillo and Sepulveda, the project brings a much needed aspect to Sherman Oaks: a walkable community that is close to major job centers, public transit, restaurants, entertainment and retail. The economic output from construction, jobs, taxes and spending by residents could boost local businesses and the Sherman Oaks economy.

A Sacramento DA has ordered that a 17 year old girl who reported a sexual assault be held in juvenile detention to ensure she testifies in court against her assailant. She is a ward of the state and her bail was set at $50,000. Imprisoning this young woman will not stop rapists but will, instead, deter other victims from coming forward.

Justice is rather the activity of truth, than a virtue in itself. Truth tells us what is due to others, and justice renders that due. Injustice is acting a lie. Horace Walpole

Many internship sites and jobs, in particular ones related to the medical or mental health field specifically hire candidates based on their sex/ gender. Many applicants are told that they were not hired due to the fact that the site wanted more men or more women. Too many qualified applicants are rejected based on the fact that they are a man or a woman and are openly told that they're greatly qualified but were only not hire due to the fact that they are the sex that they are. The same is true for different cultures. It's about time that the hiring process was based on merit rather than someone's sex, religion, sexual orientation, or country of origin.

Undocumented workers are human beings who deserve to have rights and be a part of this country. There are many myths on how undocumented workers harm the country's economy when actually they can benefit it. There needs to be a gateway for undocumented workers to gain citizenship in this country. Politicians avoid this topic but it needs to be dealt with. We need to defend these people and give them a chance to live life in a country that they respect and love without them having to fear being deported.

The Glass-Stegall act was created during the Depression of the 1930's as a way of safeguarding people's bank accounts. It forbade the banks from gambling with depositors' money in risky enterprises. The repeal of Glass-Steagall back in 1999 paved the way for the financial crash of 2008. Repeal Gramm-Leach-Bliley (which took away the Glass-Steagall protection) and bring back sensible regulation!
