Civic Participation

Does anyone know if, in Pennsylvania, if my employer has to pay me for my time off to serve for Jury Duty? I've heard that I either have to use my own vacation time OR take the time unpaid from my job? How can this be fair or legal? It's not like I asked to be called for jury duty? HELP!

Or do you prefer to listen to idiots like AL GORE instead of real scientists.

FYI: science by consensus is NOT SCIENCE!

The time is long overdue for a radical protest against the filth and corruption that has infested the United States Government. This is about the lies of 911, the illegal war in Iraq and bringing our troops home to their loved ones. If you are a true American Patriot you will join in and become a part of this wonderful event that is about to take place.

The U.S. antiwar movement and the impeachment movement are becoming entwined, just in time for the March 17 rally at the Pentagon. Here’s the best part! You don’t have to travel all the way to D.C. to perform your Patriotic Duty to America. There will be hundreds of Anti-War protest happening across the Nation.

The press plays a vital role in our democracy, shaping citizens’ understanding of social and political issues and functioning as gatekeepers through which issues, people, and events must pass. No matter what you care about — gun rights or abortion rights, the environment or economics — the media influence the perceptions of citizens and policymakers, affecting the policies that touch us all. Media must not be considered just another business: they are special institutions in our society. Information is the lifeblood of democracy — and when viewpoints are cut off and ideas cannot find an outlet, our democracy suffers.

Traditional media, telecommunications and cable are converging, all becoming firmly linked to the Internet. The ways we share information, the ways we receive information, and the ways this information is produced are all changing rapidly. In the halls of power — from corporate boardrooms to the corridors of the Capitol — policies are being rewritten to prepare for this new era.


Big Media, Big Cable and Big Telecom are some of the strongest and fiercest lobbies in Washington, and, indeed, across the country. One of the most profitable industries and one on which politicians depend to make their views heard, it is difficult to battle such clout. Media outlets unwilling to report on their parent company’s interests and broader issues of media reform put more obstacles in the way of public interest advocates.

BIG MEDIA has a huge effect on who wins presidential primaries. the major television news outlets are viewed by most americans, which gives them the power to manipulate the masses' opinions on candidates that would help them by relaxing laws on media ownership. They also have the power to essentially blacklist candidates who would be a threat to them by passing new laws that would be more in line with the constitution. So you can see how a candidate that values the constitution would be a major threat to them.

if Dr. Ron Paul got the amount of attention that Obama, hilary, edwards, romney, mccain & guiliani get, i am sure that he would win the election by an enormous number of votes. If the average american knew who he was, and what he is all about, he would be a huge threat to hillary's presidential campaign. Ron paul is EXTREMELY popular among the people that know who he is because he truly represents the american people, not the establishment. Ron Paul has a voting record in congress that demonstrates that he will not be pushed into voting for any unconstitutional legislation, such as the patriot act, or the real id act, or the torture bill. He is 1 of only 6 republicans that voted against the war. Ron Paul has also been named "the taxpayers best friend."

Many web sites and forums have had to shut down, due to the overwhelming number of people writing messages of support for Ron Paul. a MySpace page titled "Opinion Polling" posted the following note this week: "Temporarily shut down due to Ron Paul. will be back eventually." A source said that the page's owners shut it down because Paul supporters "invaded the place."

here is a website called techPresident.com that has an ongoing internet poll displayed on it.
http://techpresident.com/scrape_plot/myspace

the poll shows that Ron Paul is the top republican candidate among internet users.
Yet, the big media companies IGNORE Ron Paul on their 24 hour news networks. Every other story is about which celebrity is endorsing barak obama, or what color dress Hillary wore last week at a fundraiser. How did this happen? WHat can be done about it? i am thinking maybe the fairness doctrine should be applied to the big cable news networks, even though i am a libertan.



here is an article (which i used some quotes from) that explains this further:
(http://ronpaul.rescue-us.org/2007/03/02/ron-paul-support-on-the-internets-continues-to-get-noticed.aspx)
--------------------------




Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who has explored a presidential run, doesn't register very high in the national polls featuring 2008 presidential candidates (1 percent, tops). But there's one place that he simply rules: the Internet.

Fans of the libertarian have stormed the Web -- in ways both good and bad -- to show their support. Over at TechPresident.com -- a Web site that tracks candidates' "friends" on the popular social networking site MySpace.com -- Paul is tops for Republicans, with 3,107 "friends" (Mitt Romney is second with 1,785).

But elsewhere, the voraciousness of Paul's supporters has sparked the ire of others. The Web site 2008HorseRace.com, which features an ongoing poll for candidates, issued this notice on Feb. 23: "Ron Paul has been suspended for two weeks because of repeated use of mob intimidation tactics and multiple threats made by Ron Paul supporters against racetrack operators, racetrack officials and racetrack sponsors." PajamasMedia.com removed Ron Paul from its presidential polls after it was discovered that someone had rigged the poll system in his favor. It has since implemented a rule that it will only include candidates polling at 1 percent or more in credible national news polls.

And a MySpace page titled "Opinion Polling" posted the following note this week: "Temporarily shut down due to Ron Paul will be back eventually." A source said that the page's owners shut it down because Paul supporters "invaded the place."

Paul's exploratory committee spokesman Kent Snyder thinks he knows why Paul's supporters are so gung-ho for their guy. "One of the reasons that Dr. Paul is getting a lot of cyber support is because he voted against regulating the Internet," Snyder told Yeas & Nays.

At age 17, she attempted burglary with a man. That ended tragically when a woman was murdered. I feel sorry for that woman & her family, but also for Delara & hers. Originally, Delara claimed to be guilty, but later said that she did so at the request of the man, to spare him the death penalty. Since she was 17 & Iran had agreed not to execute people under 18, they thought she would be spared, whereas the 19 yr. old man would not be. Delara is now 20 and awaiting execution. While it is true that we cannot know who actually committed the murder, it is plausible that Delara did lie to save her friend from the death penalty, thinking her age would spare her. While it was wrong to attempt the burglary, we all do things that are wrong & burglary is not deserving of death. Neither is telling a lie to save a friend from being executed. Since we cannot know who the guilty party is, it would be wrong to sentence Delara to death. Will you sign the petition? http://www.PetitionOnline.com/DL2222/
