Religious Freedom - 0 views

  •  
    We need to work hard to keep our religious freedom. Most religious organizations are required by the Department of Human Services to provide contraceptive coverage in employee health care plans. A lot of government contracts have been lost due to religious organizations refusal to place children with same-sex couples.

same sex marriage - 0 views

  •  
    The topic has been a big debate for sometime. Obama even has a say on the topic, but does it scare other politicians, yes it does. If we have the freedom of religion why can't we have the freedom of marriage, after all in most cases marriage is a religious ceremony

Supreme Court mostly rejects Arizona immigration law; gov says 'heart' remains - 1 views

  •  
    Arizona Law - Illegal immigration is still in controversy on how Law Enforcement will conduct proper immigration stauts checks. Having the proper procedures in place can elimanate other legal matters concerning racing profiling.

    I understand that Arizona is just trying to stop immigration but some of the laws and rules taking place are making it seem like it is allowed to racial profile. Though that may not be the case. People are thinking that if you look Mexican then the police can pull you over but I reality there most likely not going to do that. If you get pulled over for speeding and then for some reason the cop thinks you could be illegal then he can ask for paper work. I get that the law seems racial, but Arizonans should not care so much if your a citizen and have nothing to hide.
  •  
    Arizona immigration laws have consistently supported racial profiling and make it difficult for legal Latinos to avoid being harassed, interrogated and detained unlawfully. State laws should be fair and adhere with constitutional freedoms afforded all citizens. If you're an American citizen, you're afforded the same rights as other citizens and should not be detained unlawfully because you "look like an immigrant". This is where Arizona crosses the line with it's immigration laws.
  •  
    I understand how these immigration laws here in Arizona can make people feel, however i feel like if i have nothing to hide whats the problem. I still don't like the fact that it makes it so easy for police to racial profile because its almost insulting to get pulled over for no reason except skin color. I have seen cops pull people over just for skin color, especially in the northern part of Arizona and its wrong.

Military Pay Held Hostage Personal+Freedom - 1 views

  •  
    The government threatened to take the military's pay away. They believed it would give them more money for budget cost. Why would the government even think about passing this bill while we were at war? Luckily, the bill was never passed, but it makes you think twice about what politics really care about.
