STOP the "Kill The Gays" Bill in Uganda


I just signed a petition to help stop Uganda's notorious "Kill the Gays" bill - which could legalize the death penalty for gay and lesbian people.  President Museveni promised to veto it but he's under pressure from Uganda's parliament who desperately want to pass it.  We can hold him to his promise by taking action right now. We've done it before - by creating a global outcry of literally millions of people. I know we can stop it again, but only if you sign this petition and share it now. The bill could move forward at any moment - will you join me and stand with Ugandans against this horrific law?

Rachel Maddow on Obama's Re-election



We do need to get real and stop pointing the finger at each other and people need to do the jobs that they are suppose to do for this public. These representatives that we choose to lead in congress, in our states, in our cities need to do their jobs not by just arguing their position and saying hey you're wrong but by coming to a solution.

The election is over so let's get back to work politicians you too Obama those immigrants want their promise.

Fruit Pickers



There has always been such a negative stigma towards those who are fruit pickers, especially because the majority are immigrants.
Back in the 1940's there was a program created called the Bracero Program which allowed American farmers to hire immigrants, mostly from Mexico, to help them with agricultural needs. Of course this was a period where the economy was flowing and people for the most part were happy under FDR's presidency.
Now this video revolutionizes the perspective on fruit pickers and laborers. By bringing a new vision of someone who historically changed the United States and that person is Abraham Lincoln. Although Abe did free the slaves, he was still just a white supremacist who wanted to be rid of Blacks and ship them back to Monrovia, Africa. But Abe's back story is a pretty amazing one. One that is a classic rags to riches to Commander in Chief of the United States of America, that most immigrants and people from a low socioeconomic background are familiar with. This gives hope to the kids who come from backgrounds like these once again giving us hope.
So kids whether you come from rich or poor families white, black or brown, you can do whatever you set your mind to and become a big baller just like Abe Lincoln.
