• Protective Orders: Should be Criminal not Civil
    I am the Biological Father of my Daughter. After my divorce in 2006 I was granted custody of my Daughter with the exclusive right to designate her residency. After 9 years my Ex-Wife’s home was raided by the police, and I found out that her new husband was a drug dealer and a child rapist who was diagnosed with paranoid personality traits. I attempt to designate our daughters residency to be with me full time in stead of the 50/50 arrangement in an attempt to keep her protected from that environment. Her mother took me back to court and was able to take custody from me because the Judge was “Pro Mom.”. I filed for a trial by jury but it was repeatedly delayed by the Judge and my attorney for 2 1/2 years. I finally stood up to the Judge and filed a pro se petition for Writ for Mandamus and won. Custody was returned to me but when I went to get my daughter her mother refused to give custody back to me. I did nothing more than hold on to my daughter while her mother tried to drag her from my vehicle. She and her attorney filed for a protective order and because I pissed the Judge off by filing complains against her, the Mother was granted her protective order even thought she was the one who violated Texas Penal Code 25.03. I didn’t have the finances to hire a lawyer because my previous lawyer drained me of funds. I wasn’t allowed to have a jury trial because it’s a civil matter that doesn’t allow trial by jury. This kind of tactics has be publically advocated by attorneys as a “Strategy” during custody battles and has even earned the nick name “The Silver Bullet” as it’s effective against dangerous parents but is equally effective against good parents. Parents should be protected from being wrongfully accused of Family Violence just as much as the parents who are suffering from Family Violence. Protective Orders should be a criminal offense because: 1) if your guilty of family violence there should be real criminal consequences. 2) if your wrongfully accused of Family Violence, that’s just another form of Family Violence 3) the true victim of false Family Violence are the children 4) Criminal offenses are given an attorney if they can’t afford on and are also give a chance for a trial by jury I’m not saying that people should be punished for wrongfully accusing someone of family violence because I understand that will cause actual victims to be reluctant to come forward, but a child should not lose a parent just because they couldn’t afford an attorney like mine did.

    I have been personally affected by people speeding through the neighborhood, I was recently struck head on while waiting to turn into my driveway buy a speeder, resulting in traumatic injury to my hand which required surgery and months and months of physical therapy, other neighbors have complained they have almost been struck standing in the street next to their curb, other neighbors have complained that they’ve also been almost hit in the same manner. Our school bus stop is on the side of a small busy road which is also a threat to our children.

  • President Trump: Authorize release Whistleblower Report on your conversations with Ukraine regard...
    President Trump will not authorize the release of the report, which by law, the Department of National Intelligence must do. Not doing so casts a heavy shadow of suspicion that Trump is hiding a corrupt act, which is trying get a foreign power to once again interfere with out election process. This must not be tolerated by anyone, Democrat or Republican who cherishes American values.

  • Walking shouldn't be deadly
    The United States has become an incredibly deadly place to go for a walk, bike ride, or drive because we've designed our roads to prioritize high-speed vehicles over people. Over the last decade, nearly 50,000 people were struck and killed while walking—the elderly, people of color, and low-income communities bore the biggest burden. The piecemeal approach to safer streets at the state and local level isn't enough; we need Congress to make a powerful statement about the need to design streets for everyone by passing a strong, binding Complete Streets policy at the federal level. No more excuses. No more status quo. It’s time to address the epidemic of traffic fatalities. Urge your senators and representative to sponsor the Complete Streets Act of 2019.

  • Governor Cuomo, please sign the bill extending the deadline for voters to change their party regi...
    In 2016, New York’s deadline for switching party registration was Oct. 9, 2015, a whopping 193 days before the primary. The result was to effectively disenfranchise thousands of voters. Earlier this year, the New York State Democratic Committee voted to fix that. Unfortunately, the Board of Elections determined that legislation was required to make the change. In response, the Assembly and Senate immediately passed, respectively, A8228B and S6352A. These bills would allow previously registered voters to change their party enrollment up to February 14th of the same year of the primary. We are very pleased at the slate of voting reforms which you signed into law earlier this year expanding, among other things, early voting and same-day voter registration. But this change to the law cannot wait. New Yorkers deserve the right to vote, and to change their party registrations in a reasonable time before the primaries.

  • Democrats, do what the Constitution demands
    Some in our party point to our Reps' ambivalence on impeachment as proof we continue to act like wimps. But it isn't a matter of weakness but one of lack of patriotism. There's ample reason to impeach. The Constitution addresses a situation like this and shows the line of action for Congress. Notice that Dem's rationale for not impeaching is not that it's undeserved. I haven't heard a single Democrat saying what Trump has done doesn't yet rise to an impeachable offense. No, what they say is that it will backfire politically, "you see, it didn't help Gingrich". So, they also flaunt their responsibilities, spelled out in the Constitution, out of political calculations. We want a record of well-documented offenses, and we want to see each senator voting yes/no, and that history books have that vote registered. The McCarthy years may have looked the norm to some back then, but history turned out not to be kind to those who jumped on his bandwagon. These four years will look different in the future when people will be asking "how did that happen"? We should all get excited about this. Let's show those pusillanimous reps we've sent to Washington "to represent our wishes and interests", how upset we are. I was burning to finally find a sentence for that word, pusillanimous. I already emailed my US Rep, Zoe Lofgren, and both senators: Dianne and my future president Kamala.

  • Remove Auto Photopass Kiosks in Disney Parks
    Human experience is a big part of making the magic happen for Disney park goers. The recent replacement of human jobs in favor of photopass kiosk for character meet and greets is an issue that many Disney faithful are passionate about. Not only are human jobs being taken away by an expensive and non-intimate device, but guests are missing out on a valuable experience as Disney Photopass Photographers are some of the top-performing employees in Disney parks.
