hypocrisy:the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense. If only those who fight so diligently for refugees would use those same energies and passions to fight for the homeless right here in their homeland.  I wonder where is their courage when it comes to putting an end to the suffering of  those who reside in their own home state and city? Where is their  compassion when it comes to those who fought for the very freedoms we all enjoy?  I wonder...How can they can so easily turn a blind eye to the struggles and tragedies of those who live right the re in their very own neighborhoods, cit ies and sates and see so clearly the hardships of others?  Where is the sense of justice when it comes to the elderly here in the United States?  Where is the passion to fight for the rights of our elderly to live out their golden years without having to choose between much needed medicines and ...

Domestic Violence Awareness Month may be coming to a close at the end of October, but we must not forget that every day men, women and children seek safety and justice inside America's courts. Sadly, from New York to California, victims of domestic violence are facing a rationing of justice. Court furlough days have resulted in backlogs and delayed temporary restraining orders. Crippling budget cuts mean courts must reduce their hours of operation or close altogether. Turned away at shuttered courthouse doors, victims of domestic violence are left to fend for themselves.  In Oregon, "Jane" had to wait three days to file a Family Abuse Prevention Act Restraining Order because Friday was a designated court furlough day. In New Jersey, "Joe" sat outside a courtroom door for nearly five hours waiting to be heard while the increasing backlog of cases ultimately suspended civil and family court trials and delayed temporary restraining orders. And in Mississ...

On October 6,2009 Cuddles,  6 week-old kitten,  was tortured to death in Pennsylvania.  A group of men threw rocks at her and then put lighter fluid on her back and lit it.  Her whiskers and entire back was severely burned.   She was rescued by an animal control officer,but later died from her injuries.   Things like this have to be  STOPPED in EVERY SINGLE STATE!
