The votes came in 2 hours ago. We won. The Dream Act is dead, moot, at least for now.

In my locker at school I had a sticker that said "I Love Sluts" (I got it from a band named after that on warped tour). No teachers ever said anything about it, most thought it was hillarious. My friends all thought it was funny, so did I.

My locker also used to pop out of the wall (lol) and last night the janitors were going around and screwing the lockers back in after school hours. They took my sticker! Are they allowed to do that? Doesn't that count as freedom of expression or something? I know it might be considered "offensive content", but at my school they say you can't WEAR clothing/accessories with offensive material. I sure wasn't wearing it around school.

Can they do that? I want my sticker back! I think I'm going to buy ten more and plaster them all over my locker... for next time :)

That you know of, is there a presidential candidate that opposes: marijuana, pornography, prostitution, and homelessness, and supports: the environment/safe climate act, gay marriage (or civil unions)? The war, immigration, and taxes are not included, therefore it doesn't matter what your choice is in regards to those three issues.

Does anyone know of a website that has something that you can input what issues you're pro and con on and it will search for a presidential candidate that matches? Something please!

Thank youuu!!!

If officials said the fires are NOT terrorists why is the "Homegrown Terrorist Prevention Act of 2007" being rushed into legislature.

section 899A claus 1:

HOMEGROWN TERRORISM- The term `homegrown terrorism' means the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

sounds great but read between the lines...the Secretary and his various deligates can easily identify an group of peaceful protestors and say "We have evidence that suggest these individuals were planning on using force to coerce the population into their idealism."
and boom--instant terrorists "BECAUSE WE SAID SO"...and once considered terrorists by the defence department, the constitution is void.

my four year old's father, ramiro, is refusing to pay child support for our son. he is married, and was married at the time of our son's conception. i was also legally married at that time. he gave me voluntary child support, 200 dollars a month, for about a year only. i recently filed with the illinois dept. of human services to have his wages garnished, but when his wife received the notification papers in the mail she contacted an attourney, who just happens to be her older brother, and she in turn called me and told me that i am wasting my time because supposedly the law is that if you were legally married at the child's conception that the person that you were legally married to is the one responsible for the child, even though that is not his biological father...i am so confused! it is not fair that he will not pay child support for his son! if i was better off finacially, i'd be able to hire a lawyer to represent me, but i cannot afford it...what are my rights? should i pursue?

several friends have told me that no matter how much we (i.e. colored skin people) contribute to American society, or if we become citizens or our kids grow up here, we will never be considered as first-class citizens.

And when someone asks me where I am from & if I tell them I'm an American - then people will think I'm stupid, because apparently I'm supposed to say I'm an Asian American or an Indian American.

Is that true or false?

They constantly claim to have suge huge ratings and to be so much better connected to the American people. Why won't they run? Is it possibly that everyone thinks they are pieces of trash and listen to their political pornography as entertainment only?
