• Ban Rush Limbaugh RIGHT NOW!
    We all know the horrible, misogynist, sexist diatribe launched at law student Sandra Fluke, calling her, over 3 days, both a "slut" & a "prostitute"; even getting so depraved as to demand on his radio show that, if the government would subsidize the cost of her (or any womans, for that matter) contraception, that she should be forced to post video of herself having sex on the Internet (said like a true "john", if you ask me)! He needs to both loose his sponsors and be banned from the air.

  • FL Gov. Rick Scott makes Rest Area Security Cuts.
    Rick Scott is cutting back on security at all Florida Rest Areas effective March 11, 2012. As part of his budget cutting policies, Rick Scott will reduce the armed security officer presence at all Rest Areas. He is changing the two single guard shifts from 4pm-8am to a single guarded shift from 8pm-6am. This one guard will work a ten hour shift and will switch sides every 45 minutes. On I-10 this will effectively leave the East and West Rest Areas unguarded for 5 hours during the night. The ten hour security shifts affect all the Rest Areas in Florida. Why risk public safety and tourism. The savings will not even make a dent in the state's budget deficit. More lost jobs will not help the state's economy.

  • Stop the "Parent Trigger" Bill
    This bill is seen by education experts as a devious and underhanded attack on your local public schools and hardworking teachers. Every credible parent group in Florida, including the PTA, is opposed to this bill because it will ultimately hurt students. In fact, this bill will only help private education companies and corporations who want to force taxpayers to pay them to run “for-profit” unaccountable charter schools. These schools are not held to the same standards as public schools. Even worse, the corporate lobbyists who are promoting this legislation were caught misleading the public and Legislators by saying parents support this bill. That is a lie. Again, every parent group in Florida opposes this “parent trigger” bill.

  • President Obama: Honor your presidential oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution--V...
    Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011, or H.R. 347, is a bill that seems to be designed to outlaw protests near government buildings and restrict the Constitutionally protected right of American citizens to petition the government for a redress of their grievances. This bill is in direct violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. The First Amendment states in concise language that: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." As of March 1st, 2012, the bill has been passed to President Barack Obama to be signed into law or vetoed. According to the laws of the legislative process, the President has 10 days to sign or veto the bill. Please, President Obama, honor your Presidential Oath, protect the Constitution and veto this bill.

  • Charlottesville City Council: Pass a resolution against the War on Drugs!
    In February, a couple of statements were read to Charlottesville City Council asking them to establish an ordinance that will allow the police to charge citizens found with marijuana to be charged with a minor, local ordinance violation instead of a Virginia criminal charge. The council said they would not be able to establish such an ordinance. Unlike some states, Virginia has a law called the Dillon's Rule, which prevents localities from passing ordinances that intend to work around state law. However, four of the five council members expressed disappointment in Virginia's drug policy and showed some willingness to support a change of that policy. A resolution opposing the War on Drugs will be presented at the April 2nd Charlottesville City Council meeting. It says that the War on Drugs, and specifically marijuana, has not been working. It also declares that marijuana violations should be Charlottesville's "lowest law enforcement priority" and it petitions the Virginia General Assembly and the governor to consider state-wide legislation that supports reforming marijuana laws and penalties. The resolution is constantly evolving, and may be modified by the council. You can read the most recent form of the resolution here. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Charlottesville-Residents-for-the-Decriminalization-of-Marijuana/250207961726090

  • Reduce U.S. Deficit by use of the dollar coin
    According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), eliminating the dollar bill and transitioning to the dollar coin will save the government at least $5.5 billion over the next 30 years. During this time when all Americans are demanding increased government efficiency, we can’t afford to wait any longer to make this simple, common sense change. Dollar coins last far longer (a lifespan of 7 times that of bills), and are fully recyclable - dollar bills are shredded and go to the landfill. Save money for the country and help the environment - support the dollar coin!

  • Repealing Alabama's Immigration Law
    As a citizenry, we need to appeal this law. It is bad law since it is being challenged in the national courts. It has affected many lives adversely. Children are being pulled out of schools they feel comfortable in and are learning in. Jobs and employers are feeling the effect because businesses are suffering with jobs they can't fill. And lastly, the economy is taking a hit since the money is not there from citizens who are living in fear. Fear which has caused them to leave their employment. Thus businesses who rely on this money now no longer have this money and find it tougher to be successful. Even American born citizens who leave the house without any identification, are risking being arrested and are subject to deportation if they do not fit the profile of looking American. We need an immigration solution but this is not it. Thank you for your attention
