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.

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

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!

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

Senate Bill 6442, sponsored by Sen. Steve Hobbs, eliminates K-12 school employees’ current health care system and forces everyone into a costly new plan run by the state health care bureaucracy. It will cost Washington taxpayers $45 million in new cost, increase school employees' insurance costs and reduce their health care benefits. It also eliminates employer health care coverage for K-12 employees who work less than half time.

In the middle of the night on Friday, March 2, the Republicans passed their version of a state budget: a Wisconsin-style attack on public school employees, students and collective bargaining – and educators’ health care benefits. This budget is similar to what Gov. Scott Walker did to educators and public workers in Wisconsin. If anti-union legislators in Washington get their way now, just think what could happen after the general election in November! We, the educators and public education supporters of the State of Washington, urge Senate Democrats and fair-minded Republicans to oppose these attacks on public education, collective bargaining and school employees’ health care benefits.

The degrading of women by Rush Limbaugh's. He needs to be fired.
