Congress should not require National Public Radio or the Public Broadcasting System to sell commercial advertising, as such a move would permit the incursion of corporate influence into the public broadcasting arena. In addition, Congress should not require the National Endowments for the Arts or Humanities to solicit funds from the nation's already stressed non-profit sector. These ideas, currently being proposed by Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, should be dismissed.

Let Governor Walker know that we object to the denial of 200,000+ citizens to ObamaCare

NO MORE WARS!!! PERIOD.

Tell Congress to fund PBS so Corporate interests (ie. the 1%) don't control everything we can see on TV. We need both private and Public TV. Also tell Congress to put the line on the Federal tax form That was taken out in the 1990's where people filing tax returns could donate to PBS. I think the Republicans took it out . That was a good way for the 99% to donate if they want to PBS especially if you are getting a refund

"IC 35-41-3-2; “No person in this state shall be placed in legal jeopardy of any kind whatsoever for protecting the person or a third person by reasonable means necessary.”. Judges instructions; “There has been evidence introduced in this case that the accused was exercising his right of self-defense." “We (the jury) were unanimous on not guilty..." and this is exactly what I said happen and in complete contrast to the States scenario Pg 407 States forensic EXPERT. Q.) Well, I mean for instance his feet. He could have been originally facing and then bent over looking in the window. That could create the proper angle. A.) It's possible, yes. ------------------------------- after, adamantly being told to leave, after trying to bust my door in, after having a warning shot put over his head as he was coming in the door, shattering and covering him in glass, instead of being turned and running (EAST as was stated) he was "still" "...facing (WEST) and then bent over looking in the window.That could create the proper angle. (digging for his gun) A.) It's possible, yes." -------------------------------- "...of any kind whatsoever ...." "...accused was exercising his right of self-defense." "...It's possible, yes." (that it happen exactely as I said it did) "...unanimous on not guilty..." are you the stupidest people in America or the most corrupt a judge, suppressing the NOT GUILTY verdict in a self-defense case based upon a fabricated scenario so asinine the States own forensic expert refuted and debunked it in her ALTERED taped sworn testimony and which is ALL explicitly forbidden by IC 35-41-3-2 A judge Suppressed A NOT GUILTY verdict Altered Evidence And was debunked by his own expert.of the whole scenario "...of any kind whatsoever ...." "...accused was exercising his right of self-defense." "...It's possible, yes." (that it happen exactely as I said it did) "...unanimous on not guilty..." maliciously framed for murder...with altered evidence...after defending himself at home... in a State that EXPLICITLY forbids ANY legal jeopardy of any kind "WHAT- SO- EVER" for defending oneself who is then found NOT GUILTY within 30-60 minutes... only to have the judge perjure himself to become the only judge in American history to suppress a unanimous not guilty verdict...who then falsely accuses the defendant of abusing ineffective/negligent court appointed counsel, in an attempt to unconstitutionally eliminate ALL defense counsel...

More than 7 years ago, a jury unanimously found Steve Gilmore not guilty of the self-defense shooting of his ex-stepfather, Billy Akers; He is now again to stand trial a second time, June 20, 2012 for this same tragedy. Akers was known to local authority to be unstable, violent, and "always" armed. He “walked” to Gilmore's secluded residence on February 18, 2005 after a confrontational phone call ended in disagreement and attempted to break into his home after being adamantly told to leave. Gimore fired two shots to scare him off. The first hit the corner of the door, shattering and covering him (Akers) in glass, proving he was coming in the house, the second hit Akers’ shoulder, and he later died as a result of the wound. Gilmore called 911 and reported what had happened. Immediately, before any investigation and even before the assailant had died, he was placed under arrest and charged with murder. He was told by County Deputy Prosecutor Drew Dickerson that he could ‘Prove later it was self-defense’, contrary to Indiana State Law IC 35-41-3-2; "No person in this state shall be put in legal jeopardy of any kind what-so-ever for protecting himself." There was no grand jury hearing. There was no proper probable cause hearing(s) as mandated by Due Process. There was no probable cause affidavit presented even though Gilmore has requested it numerous times over a 6 year period. Without probable cause ever being established, In August 2005 he stood trial for murder. In less than an hour, the jury arrived at a unanimous not guilty verdict. Due to an error in the presentation of the verdict and both the Judge Webster’s and his appointed counsel’s negligent handling in not clarifying the error before the jury was dismissed; the verdict was disregarded, and a mistrial was declared, allowing the state to ignore double jeopardy and try Gilmore a second time for a charge he had already been found innocent of committing. During a motion to Dismiss in 2007 the Jury was summoned, presented and prepared to testify in open court, under oath, of their not guilty verdict, however, Judge Webster refused to allow them to verify and validate their verdict. The 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires that “no [search or arrest] warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause.” An arrest without a warrant must be supported by probable cause. Lack of probable cause in a warrantless arrest makes that arrest an unreasonable seizure. In criminal cases the court must find that probable cause exists to believe that the defendant committed the crime before the defendant may be prosecuted. A law that explicitly forbids any legal jeopardy... of any kind..."what-so-ever", a debunked scenario by their own expert, altered evidence and the only judge in all history to suppress a not guilty verdict...after he himself declared Gilmore acted in self-defense The judges own instructions throws the entire case out, as if the lack of probable cause and with the debunked States scenario hadn't or the LAW IC 35-41-3-2 from the onset. Please help Gilmore in demanding a federal investigation of the people responsible for the extreme mishandling of this case and more importantly his rights and freedom!

Donald Trump's proposed tax plan will cost $6 trillion, money that is desperately needed to rebuild our economy by investing in infrastructure, green-jobs, education, medical research and so much more. Instead of huge tax giveaways to Trump's billionaire friends, we demand that you create a tax system that works for all Americans.

It took eight years for George W. Bush to lead this country into the worst economic conditions it has known since the Great Depression. George W. Bush's lack of government regulations as well as his decision to wage an unnecessary war in Iraq when we could have captured and killed osama bin laden in the mountains of afghanistan, cost this country greatly in reputation, money, and most of all over 4400 American lives for nothing. No matter what your political ideology, one truth is unequivocally clear to all Americans. It took him and the republicans 8 years to get us in this mess. We can at least give the man who inherited the mess 8 years to dig us out!

Greetings, I'm writing you today to call for justice for Trayvon Martin and his family. Trayvon Martin was only 17 years old when he was gunned down by the Neighborhood Watch captain George Zimmerman. All Trayvon did was go to the store to get his brother some Skittles. According to police, George Zimmerman admitted to the shooting and killing of Trayvon Martin. Why has he not been charged and his case been handed over to prosecutors? Trayvon Martin was unarmed when he was shot by Zimmerman. All he had in his hands was some candy when he was followed and approached by Zimmerman - who ignored instructions from police not to confront the young man. Please uphold justice.

It is past time for North Carolina to expand our Medicaid program. More than 500,000 of our family, friends, and neighbors would benefit, and this is the year to make it happen.
