NRA Offers ‘Stand Your Ground’ Insurance To Cover Legal Costs Of Shooting People In Self-Defense “The insurance — technically endorsed by the NRA and administered by Lockton Affinity exclusively for NRA members — is available as a rider to the “excess personal liability” plan. What’s Covered: “The basic liability plan costs either $47 or $67 annually, for coverage up to $100,000 or $250,000, respectively. Though the coverage amounts stay the same, a policy holder can add the self-defense insurance by paying $118 or $165 for the lesser coverage, or between $187 and $254 for the larger plan.” http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/06/13/497635/nra-stand-your-ground-insurance/ [img]http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/bo120613a.png[/img] » Posted By SallyT On June 13, 2012 @ 8:54 pm Bito, good plan! And, although this article is about the women serving in the service, there are men raped, too. AND, not by those that are openingly gay, either!

NEWS FLASH » Posted By SallyT On June 13, 2012 @ 8:38 pm Meet Florence: The 95-Year-Old Wisconsin Woman Who Can’t Get A Voter ID “One Wisconsinite we spoke with, 95-year-old Florence Hessing of Bayfield, said that she’d voted in every election without any problems until voter ID was enacted. However, her driver’s license expired when she stopped driving at the age of 90 (she’s now half-blind) and because she was likely born via midwife, she didn’t have a birth certificate required to get a new photo ID. Lawyers were eventually able to find an exemption for Hessing that will ultimately allow her to vote, but thousands of other Wisconsinites might not be as lucky. Indeed, a University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee study found that approximately 300,000 lack photo ID.” http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/06/13/498810/wisconsin-voter-id/ » Posted By SallyT On June 13, 2012 @ 8:32 pm House GOP Blocking Abortion Access for Raped Soldiers “Republican Senators John McCain, Scott Brown, and Susan Collins all support an effort by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a Democrat from New Hampshire, to expand abortion access for military women who are raped. But despite bipartisan support in the Senate, Shaheen’s proposal may not make it into the final version of the 2013 defense authorization bill—because House Republicans oppose it.” http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/06/shaheen-amendment-military-rape-abortion » Posted By SallyT On June 13, 2012 @ 8:17 pm Bito, THAT IS FUNNY! Well, she is off to a good start with her program. I know for a fact, (been there, done that), that you have to sign a release for them to use your image or even your name being spoken by someone on the show before they can use it. I think he has a case and I hope he gets some money for it! In fact, if they didn’t get releases from the others at the bar that spoke and they didn’t blur their faces, they have a problem with them, too, if they are using this as part of their advertising for the new show..

They argue that those lacking in sick leave are often blue-collar minorities and women, including many who handle food or care for the young or elderly. Providing these employees with paid sick leave would improve public health by encouraging individuals to stay home when feeling sick, supporters say.” “They also point to San Francisco, which adopted a paid-sick leave law in 2007. Since then, the city’s economic growth has grown stronger, countering the argument by critics that requiring employers to offer paid sick leave will hurt businesses.” » Posted By SallyT On June 12, 2012 @ 6:05 pm Indiana First State to Allow Citizens to Shoot Law Enforcement Officers “Police officers in Indiana are upset over a new law allowing residents to use deadly force against public servants, including law enforcement officers, who unlawfully enter their homes. It was signed by Republican Governor Mitch Daniels in March. The first of its kind in the United States, the law was adopted after the state Supreme Court went too far in one of its rulings last year, according to supporters. The case in question involved a man who assaulted an officer during a domestic violence call. The court ruled that there was “no right to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers.” The National Rifle Association lobbied for the new law, arguing that the court decision had legalized police to commit unjustified entries.” » Posted By SallyT On June 12, 2012 @ 6:00 pm GEORGE ZIMMERMAN’S WIFE HAS BEEN ARRESTED “Florida State Attorney Angela Corey claimed in a document signed Monday that Shellie Zimmerman lied about the couple’s financial status at her husband’s April bond hearing.” “Prosecutors claimed time-stamped phone calls between Zimmerman and his wife show they talked about transferring thousands of dollars from his account to his sister’s account and to Shellie Zimmerman’s own account.” Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/george-zimmermans-wife-has-been-arrested-2012-6#ixzz1xcyXvhOX » Posted By SallyT On June 12, 2012 @ 5:14 pm Okay, I know none of you really care about this girl but it is kinda funny.

Yes, he is all for giving people what they want! » Posted By SallyT On June 11, 2012 @ 7:28 pm Mitt Romney Weighs in on GM, CAFE, and EVs “If elected president, presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney said he would quickly sell off the government’s 26-percent share in General Motors, take a long hard look at pending fuel efficiency mandates, and presumably electric vehicle subsidies as well. “On the surface, it sounds enlightened and even democratic to say give the people what they want, but is relaxing regulations going to create for future generations what they will find themselves wanting, and is that the direction we wish to take as a society? Without strong mandates, would automakers attempt to as carefully research, develop and market the most efficient, low emissions vehicles possible? And will as many consumers gravitate to the best long-term solutions all by themselves as long as the most efficient choices are few, and on average cost more?” http://gm-volt.com/2012/06/11/mitt-romney-weighs-in-on-gm-cafe-and-evs/ » Posted By SallyT On June 11, 2012 @ 6:57 pm Nuns To Tour The Country, Speaking Out Against Paul Ryan’s Un-Christian Budget “Ryan’s lying, as some Catholic theologians have already pointed out. The Georgetown speech also gave Catholic opponents an opportunity to confront Ryan with their disapproval. As Ryan delivered the remarks, he came face-to-face with protesters who unveiled a banner that read “Stop the War on the Poor.” Outside the event, Catholics United protested the event. A little over a dozen people stood outside Healy Hall, where the speech took place, and held a sign the read, “WERE YOU THERE WHEN THEY CRUCIFIED THE POOR?” http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/nuns-tour-country-speaking-out-agains » Posted By SallyT On June 11, 2012 @ 5:39 pm Romney Economic Adviser Attacks President Obama in Germany “Politics,” Republican Senator Arthur Vandenberg declared during Harry Truman’s presidency decades ago, “stops at the water’s edge.” Not, it turns out, for Mitt Romney. Three years ago, Romney blasted Obama’s “apology tour” even as the President was visiting Cairo, Ankara and other capitals. (For that slander, the Washington Post fact-checker gave Romney a “Four Pinocchio” rating.) Now, the Republican nominee has dispatched his chief economic adviser, Glenn Hubbard, to pen an op-ed in a German paper to undermine the Obama administration’s position on the economic crisis in Europe.” Mitt Romney doesn’t need to look to Europe to see the devastation wrought by the austerity his man Glenn Hubbard is urging Angela Merkel to continue. The carnage among state and local governments here is proof enough. And the sad irony is that Mitt knows very well that, as John Maynard Keynes famously put it, “The boom, not the slump, is the right time for austerity.” As he has expressed during a few rare moments of candor: “If you take a trillion dollars for instance, out of the first year of the federal budget, that would shrink GDP over 5%. That is by definition throwing us into recession or depression. So I’m not going to do that, of course.” But the Europeans should, because President Obama is asking them not to. Apparently, Glenn Hubbard’s “Don’t Learn from America” love letter to Angela Merkel is a message that she can expect more “flexibility” from a President Romney after the election. So much for not apologizing for America. http://crooksandliars.com/jon-perr/romney-economic-adviser-attacks-obama-in-germany » Posted By SallyT On June 11, 2012 @ 5:35 pm IRS Denies Tax Exempt Status To Political Non-Profit, Sends Signal to Similar Groups
“This purely political ad was prepared by the American Energy Alliance, which has a 501(c)4 tax exemption from the IRS. This exemption allegedly means it engages in charitable and community action and is not engaged in politics. The AEA is funded by the Koch brothers. It’s bad enough groups like this are destroying democracy – but they’re tax exempt, too?” “An Internal Revenue Service decision revoking the tax-exempt status of a small political nonprofit organization may foreshadow an investigation into groups such as Crossroads GPS and Priorities USA that spend millions on the 2012 U.S. presidential election.” http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/irs-denies-tax-exempt-status-politica » Posted By SallyT On June 11, 2012 @ 5:26 pm And, the President counters Romney’s ad:
Mitt Romney Is Still Getting Hammered For His Huge Gaffe On Firefighters, Police And Teachers “He has the Republican all-star governor, Scott Walker, clean-breaking with him on the issue and disagreeing on what the “message of Wisconsin” and Walker’s recall victory actually was. Not only does this put Romney in a compromising political position in the race, it could also give Obama a chance to build momentum for his jobs bill, which has gotten little buzz since he introduced it last September. A big part of that bill is Obama’s assertion that it would prevent the layoffs of nearly 400,000 teachers, firefighters and police. His campaign is already pushing it, in fact: » Posted By SallyT On June 11, 2012 @ 4:57 pm Mitt Romney’s Campaign Is Very Confused About Obama’s Position On Public Sector Hiring “The uncertainty suggests that the Romney campaign may have realized the fundamental problem with attacks on Obama’s private sector “gaffe”: It wasn’t really a gaffe at all. The private sector is actually doing pretty well, while the public sector has lost tons of jobs.”

JP MORGAN CHASE CEO OFFERS TO GET AN APARTMENT IN WASHINGTON SO CONGRESS CAN CONSULT HIM ON BANK REGULATIONS | During his hearing before the Senate Banking Committee today, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon offered to get an apartment in Washington, D.C., so that he can be consulted by Congress on financial regulatory matters. In response to a question from Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) about whether banks are being asked to help craft regulations, Dimon said, “me and lots of other folks, we’ll do whatever you want, we’ll even get apartments down here. Let’s go through [the regulations] in detail.” Watch it:
(IMO, she should be allowed to vote based on her age and the fact she showed up to vote on those facts alone! Bless her heart!)
“the Department of Defense currently only provides abortion coverage if the life of the mother is at stake……But if an Army medic serving in Afghanistan is raped and becomes pregnant, she can’t use her military health plan to pay for an abortion. If she does decide to get an abortion, she will have to pay for it with her own money. And if she can’t prove she was raped—which is difficult before an investigation is completed—she may have to look for services off base, which can be dangerous or impossible in many parts of the world.”
“Most of the women affected here are enlisted women who are making about $18,000 a year. They’re young, they don’t have access to a lot of resources. Many of them are overseas.”
“The military reported 471 rapes of servicemembers in 2011 alone. The true number is likely far higher—the Pentagon’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office estimates that only about 13.5 percent of all rapes and sexual assaults in the military are actually reported. The Women’s Health and Rights Program at the Center for American Progress estimates that several hundred women in the military become pregnant as a result of rape each year.”
This graph we found on Facebook shows the members’ connections to a ton of corporations, charities, policy groups and media. Everyone from Eric Schmidt to George Soros is a member. There are tons of conspiracy theories about the group, including that they control the world economy.
We took the findings with a grain of salt–after all, it’s easy to trace an individual to a corporation and the graph doesn’t specify what influence the member wielded.
But perhaps it’s a compelling argument for why the meetings should be public.”

The U.S. Treasury has held onto post-bankruptcy GM stock for 35 months now, and if it were sold today at $21-something per share, well below its $33 IPO price, the country would lose around $16 billion, but Romney said there was no good reason to hold on.”
“The best approach is to try and build vehicles that people want, rather than having the government telling the companies what they must make,” he said to the Detroit News.
“I would work with the manufacturers to find ways to encourage fuel economy on the part of the consumer. But trying to have the manufacturer push the product on the consumer — that the consumer doesn’t want — is not the right approach.”
“The big issue is that the private sector still needs more help,” Walker said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation” with Bob Schieffer. “The answer’s not more big government. I know in my state, our reforms allowed us to protect firefighters, police officers and teachers. That’s not what I think of when I think of big government.”
“While President Obama has a plan to create 1 million jobs, Mitt Romney is proposing cutbacks of jobs for police officers, firefighters, and teachers—the same plan he enforced in Massachusetts.”
