The City of Pearland, TX completely ignored its own code of ordinances in order to assess a fine against me over an animal I never owned. I proved my case in open court, but my evidence was ignored. I e-mailed Ted Cruz because he purports to be a champion of citizens' rights and principles. I asked for his help, but he couldn't even trouble himself to respond let alone offer any assistance. I guess he only supports individuals who can help fill his campaign coffers. Yessir, your tax dollars at work. Makes me proud to be a Texas conservative voter.

<p>Okay, I am HOPPING MAD, they are taking away from the very poorest people , the seniors, saying its necessary...This Ryan, hasn't done his homework or he would know that Social Security is a savings account set up after the last depression, out our wages, and HE wants to take OUR MONEY? I don't think so! He doesn't know thaat the Federal government TOOK BILLIONS of dollars from SOCIAL SECURITY and NEVER re-paid it either. But yet he wants to do away with it.....This nuckle-head needs to have his hiney whopped a few times, seems to me hes a smarty pants, egotistical, self-centered, "gotta always be right" person. I think he need some kind of pill to calm him down, sounds to me like he is BI-POLAR. The Senate needs to go to every state and remove every earmark that the congress is trying to put through in this new budget. That woule chap their butts.</p>

Sorry if I'm not allowed to post this sort of thread, but I'd rather ask direct questions than interpret answers to other questions an apply them to my own. I'm from the UK and for school work over the holidays I've got to find and explain/counter arguments for and against a political issue from another country, and I know that healthcare reform is a big one in America at the moment so I picked the easy one. I've had good experiences with our NHS, and without it I would either be dead or my family would be deeply in debt...

Civil-rights protection OK'd for transgender individuals By Sharon Pian Chan Seattle Times staff reporter Transgender individuals will now enjoy the same civil-rights protections as other minorities under legislation passed by the Metropolitan King County Council Monday. The council added gender identity to laws already prohibiting discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations based on sexual orientation, sex, race and religion. The legislation will protect transsexuals, transvestites and any other individuals with a gender identity that differs from their sex assigned at birth. "It's going to make employers aware of discrimination," said supporter Smitty Petersen. "People generally don't do things if...

2 Arizona radio stations were saying that Janet Napolitano is gay. She's never been married. She's never been seen dating a guy. One radio host spoke to someone Janet went to college with. The woman told the host, Janet never dated any guys in college. This woman is so gay, its not even funny. I think this is an issue. Janet Napolitano border policies are horrible with Mexico. She refuses to put large amount of border patrol people on the border. If she's gay, this should be an issue in the next election. Arizona needs a governor who will put...

About a week ago I got done reading Michele Milkin's new book about the Japanese internments and about how the nation's saftey should come first. Civil Liberties are not as important as public safety. Forget what that dumb liberal Ben Franklin said! WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR NATION FROM TERRORISTS! ITS BETTER WE OFFEND SOME TWIT BY SENDING HIM INTO AN INTERNMENT CAMP AND HAVE HIS CITIZEN SHIP REVOKED THAN TO ALLOW ANOTHER SEPTEMBER 11th TO HAPPEN! Well I agree with Michele and I agree we need to rise up to the occasion right away and get rid of the...
