Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

The bird cannot fly with either wing encumbered by politics rather than the pure will for free and unfettered flight.

Great graphic, thanks FBM!

My landlord just raised my rent $250.00 more per month (Merry Christmas) and said it is because the taxes are so high in my city...

That leaves me about 35 dollars a week left spending money.

I do not obtain any church services... Tax paying billionaires do not contribute to my rent either...

Why should they?

He's a liberal, he thinks they should be paying all of his bills.

Complaint Filed Against 23 House Republicans For Illegal Agreement To Misuse Taxpayer Funds

One tenth of the money WASTED HERE BY REPUBLICANS would pay my rent for life...

How about Obama wasting 500 million on training Syrian fighters at 100 million per fighter.

That money could go a long way in the cure for AIDs.

See it's not about wasting tax money or possible fraud, it's about how Rex can get his rent paid for by the taxpayers.

It is about Rex not becoming another elderly, disabled, homeless person who has had his body worked nearly into the grave for less than five dollars an hour doing stoop field labor out in the burning hot sun...

It is about Rex paying off his student loans while republicans waste waste waste and while idiots like you support these thieves over America's most devout laborers. It is about banks and their zero interest loans facilitated by the GOP... GOP sanctioned corporations that never pay taxes.

It is about fairness, equality and HONESTY...

It is about churches who discriminate, lobby and preach hate with taxpayer money.

NOT POWER, ILL BEGOTTEN WEALTH AND PARTISAN POLITICS.

And who is paying the republicans ridiculous amounts of money to shaft our disabled veterans, elderly, devout laborers and school children dead from guns shots?

You know damned well... The filthy rich, corrupt republicans thrive on your vote and support! DIMO...

Now the problem is civil service?

Labor is the problem right Dimo?

Reward hard work with partisan politics, cronyism and thievery! This is the American way! (cynical)

Something really terrifying!

Would it be okay for the soup kitchens to pass out free guns and ammo to homeless people in a large metro areas? Is this not a homeless person's second amendment right to own a handgun? How is this any different than a parent arming a hormone raging child? Just wondering...

When does the propensity for undue harm ever factor into the equation?

Is there something wrong with militias comprised of homeless desperate people? Do they not have a right to defend themselves from a governing system they think has done them wrong?

I am a responsible gun owner.

I bought my first gun when I was 12. It was a Browning 12-gauge shotgun, and I saved money from my paper route and cleaning a drive-in restaurant to buy it in time for dove season. In the years before I could legally drive, I’d tie the Browning across the handlebars of my bike and ride to the fields outside town to hunt.

I’ve owned several guns since, and own a handgun now. I bought that gun to keep my family safe, and lock it up to keep them safe from it. Like I said, responsible.

And so while I’d like to believe I’m not part and party to the gun violence that stains America, I can’t. My grandmother shot and killed herself with a gun, and a few years ago my father shot and didn’t quite kill himself with one. My stepbrother died in a murder-suicide with a gun, and the husband of one of my sister’s co-workers was killed in a mass shooting.

None of that happened with my gun, of course, but after every new mass shooting, I’m reminded that I bear a portion of the responsibility for our nation’s gun violence. There are too many guns to do anything about it, the gun lobby says. Regulations are a slippery slope that only limit the rights of responsible gun owners, they say.

My gun is being used to argue against common-sense laws and policies that could reduce gun violence in America, arguments I find unconscionable. That’s what being a responsible gun owner means today – I’m responsible. I’ve been uneasy about that for a while now, and ashamed to admit it’s taken two more mass shootings for me to do anything about it.

That ended today. Today I disassembled my handgun, a 9mm Ruger, clamped the pieces in a vice and cut them in half with an angle grinder. I’m sending the proper paperwork into the state to report it destroyed.

None of us individually can stop gun violence in America, but as a responsible gun owner, I will no longer be used as a justification for doing nothing about it. Today I did what I could. Today there is ‪#‎ONELESSGUN‬.

Comment: I bought my first guitar when I was 12...

Here are gun victims who would be alive today if they'd only been brave enough to rush the shooter.

Great news in the fight against gerrymandering! A Florida judge just rejected the legislature's redistricting plan for a third time, instead recommending a more representative map drawn by Common Cause and allies.

But we need to stop gerrymandering nationwide -- act now!
