For decades, La Pulguita on Mission Street between 14th/15th has been a part of Mission culture. More than a thousand neighbors frequent the market on any given weekend day to find low cost  gifts, household items, crafts, clothing and snacks.  Currently, a small group of neighbors is attempting to shut down the market stating that the vendors do not belong on Mission Street. A new pilot is being proposed to move La Pulguita to Julian Avenue between 14th/15th, accommodating 54 vendor stalls with display tables, monitors from Arriba Juntos, and the same hours and rules followed by the vendors of the Arriba Juntos market.  Vendors would pay a lower, subsidized fee, so that vendors of all income levels can participate. ________________ Por decadas La Pulguita ha sido parte de la cultura de la Misión. Más de mil vecinos frecuentan el mercado en cualquier día de fin de semana para encontrar regalos, artículos para el hogar, artesanías, ropa y bocadillos a bajo costo. Actualmente, un pequeño grupo de vecinos estan tratando de cerrar el mercado afirmando que los vendedores no pertenecen a la calle Misión. Se está proponiendo un nuevo programa para trasladar La Pulguita a la avenida Julian entre las calles 14 y 15, acomodando 54 puestos de vendedores con mesas de exhibición, monitores de Arriba Juntos, con las mismas horas y reglas seguidas por los vendedores del mercado de Arriba Juntos. Proveedores de todos los niveles de ingresos podrán participar ya que pagarán una tarifa mas baja y subsidiada.

Ask Rep. Clyburn to return money donated to him by the NRA or give it to an organization supporting gun reform.

All elections are decided by the moderate 1/3 of the population. However, by definition, moderates are not idealogues. We tend to vote for candidates based upon multiple issues. That is why we rarely get what we want. We are divided and conquered. It's time to take a play out of the right wing conservative playbook. Their supporters tend to focus on a few issues, such as gun rights and right to life. How else could a pedophile come so close to becoming the US senator from Alalbama. Simple- he was pro life. We need to take the same one issue stance if we want to end the madness. Enough is enough. Pledge to support and vote for only candidates who are pro gun control and pro assault weapons ban. Pledge to go out and vote against any candidate who is not, regardless of the office they are running for. Regardless of the importance of the office. Whether it be on a national, state, or local level. Ignore ads that attack pro Gun Control or pro Assault Weapons Ban candidates. The ads are probably funded by the NRA directly or indirectly anyway. Become a one issue voter. Bring politics back to the center where it belongs. The other issues will follow as the united strength of the center grows. Take away the political firepower of the NRA and gun manufacturers, lest we leave future generations wondering, "What the hell where they thinking of?!" It worked in Australia. It will work here.

Texting while driving is endangering our lives on the roads. Drivers cannot be giving the proper attention to the road if they are texting.

I cannot stand by and watch one more person slaughtered by senseless gun violence while politicians send their condolences.

To stop the trophy killing of Arizona wildcats

Memo to Politician and Candidates: Thanks for taking a few minutes to consume these words. I am not writing to yell at you about guns. I am not writing to yell at you about healthcare. I am not going to yell at all. What I ~am~ going to do is point out some facts relevant to your continued potential for government service. Ladies and gentlemen, your constituency is pissed off. You have to take a few moments and consider your own survival. America is no longer going to tolerate a lack of healthcare. We will not tolerate a regimen of spending cuts that devastates our schools and their ability to teach, guide, and keep safe our children. We will not tolerate theft from Social Security. (Spolier alert: Cutting it is theft. We all paid into it. It is our money. Cutting it is theft.) We will not tolerate a fake infrastructure plan that burdens our working citizens with 1.2 trillion in gas taxes and other obscene gestures. Ladies and Gentlemen. We are going to eliminate via elections anyone who takes money from the NRA, who thinks a lawn ornament along the Mexico border will do anything, who answers only to the swamp. You need to change your ways or start writing your post retirement novel. You have been weighed. You have been measured. Do not be found wanting.

Because money matters and corporate America can make a difference in effecting social and political change.

There are thousands of citizens trapped in the cycle of predatory lending. The ridiculous interest rates are criminal and while common sense says stay away desperation pushes us in. Laws need to strict on these entities there are locations in every neighborhood and as a consumer I'm concerned about the stability of my community and the financial well-being of citizens statewide. Texas has been successful in driving them out of their state and returning thousands to consumers. Lets do the same in Tennessee.

I got denied a V. A. Loan because Credit First put a fraudulent bill on my Equifax Credit Bureau. This company hates Veterans and Gold Star Families. Credit First is behaving uncontrollably with an obnoxious predisposition. I have played the Credit First game far too long. This company has holistically ruined my life. Now that I see where Credit First is coming from, I can understand why so many consumers are frustrated with them. I will fight this all the way to my grave. I don’t expect them to act honorably with my complaint. I don’t expect Credit First N.A, to make it right with African-Americans. They hate Veterans and African-Americans! This company is complicit with others to swindle, deceive, and dupe consumers under the guise of racist forethoughts. They do not have any SHAME. I thought Jim Crow was dead, and in 2018 we are dealing with his nephew, James Crow, Esquire.

We refuse to have our children in another school shooting and we are taking action now.

Seniors should not be on a fixed income in their golden years, thank you
