Bringing the Lottery to Utah to help with our terrible per-pupil spending.

North Carolina Amendment One is up for a vote on May 8. If passed, the constitutional amendment will harm women, children and families. It will also harm our ability to recruit businesses. Polling shows that North Carolina opposes Amendment One when they understand what it actually does and we must educate all of North Carolina on the harms of Amendment One. 1. Amendment One would eliminate the possibility of legal recognition of gay and lesbian couples. This would, in turn, threaten end of life decisions, hospital visitations, adoptions, child custody and more. 2. This amendment, if passed, would eliminate health coverage and benefits currently offered by city and county governments across North Carolina. This would strip coverage from children and unmarried couples - gay and straight. 3. Current polling indicates that North Carolinians oppose virtually everything that would happen if Amendment One passes, they just do not understand the impacts yet. That is why we must have conversations with our fellow North Carolinians about the harms of Amendment One.

Currently, Alaska law gives Alaskan's a broad right to self defense. The proposed law would add wording to the existing law that would allow a person to use deadly force "in any place where the person has a right to be." That could be a sidewalk, a highway, the woods or on private property as long as the person isn't trespassing. The Alaska Legislature is almost done for the year and is unlikely to act on H.B. 80 during this session (H.B. 80 is being reviewed by a Senate committee), but it is important to strongly express our concern that such wording is being considered.

Vicki Kennedy, the widow of Senator Ted Kennedy, is a lifelong Catholic who has received honorary degrees from two Catholic colleges. So why is a Massachusetts bishop prohibiting her from serving as a commencement speaker this year? Kennedy had accepted an invitation from Anna Maria College to speak at this year's graduation, but Worcester Bishop Robert McManus forced them to withdraw the invitation. According to his office, Catholics who disagree with church teaching should not be honored by Catholic institutions -- a standard that conservative bishops seem to apply only to Democrats. Bishop McManus even refused Kennedy's request to meet in person to discuss his concerns. As she put it, "by objecting to my appearance at Anna Maria College he has made a judgment about my worthiness as a Catholic. This is a sad day for me and an even sadder one for the Church I love." Bishops have consistently remained silent when conservative public officials like John Boehner, Antonin Scalia, and George W. Bush are honored by Catholic institutions despite flouting church teaching on war, the death penalty, torture, and other issues. It's time to stop their campaign of selective censorship and intimidation towards progressive Catholics.
