Makes me effin' sick. Twenty-eight years isn't long enough.

 

‘Cash for kids’ judge gets 28 year jail sentence

A former Pennsylvania judge who rendered guilty verdicts in exchange for over $1 million in kickbacks from a for-profit youth rehabilitation center will spend up to 28 years in prison, following his sentencing hearing last Thursday.

Over the weekend, CNN sat down with the mother of one of his victims, a young man who was so distraught by his unjust incarceration that he committed suicide.

Elizabeth May, Canada's Green Party Leader has been excluded from the public debates by the news networks because she doesn't have a seat in Parliament. Voters have a right to hear where ALL the major parties stand on the issues. That’s one of the cornerstones of democracy – an informed electorate. After all, Canadian tax payers finance the Green Party. Shouldn't they get to hear its policies? The website above is to an online petition demanding that she be allowed to take part in the debates. Please offer your support so that one of these days we will have equality for all.

Libyan woman who alleged rape still missing

Family says security forces targeted her after she protested against the government.

Eman Al Obeidi, the Libyan woman who burst into a Tripoli hotel claiming to have been raped by troops loyal to Muammar Gaddafi, is still missing.

Officials tried to silence her in the immediate aftermath of the incident, later distributing statements that she was "drunk" and "mentally ill".

However, Obeidi's family has spoken out, saying she was targeted by security forces after she participated in anti-government protests.

Al Jazeera's Anita McNaught reports from Tripoli.

Take Action to End Slavery in Corporate Supply Chains

Millions of men, women, and children are enslaved around the world, producing the raw materials that create products we use every day. Slaves pick the cotton that ends up in our t-shirts, mine the tungsten that makes our laptops run, and harvest the cocoa we find so delicious. But two pieces of pending legislation in California could help end the use of slavery in major corporations' supply chains. Will you help make them law?

Ask The U.S. Ambassador to Support the Human Right to Water

For the first time since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted 60 years ago, the UN General Assembly is finally poised to recognize the Human Right to Water and Sanitation. Billions of people are suffering because the world is not focused on providing water and sanitation for all. A strong UN General Assembly resolution will signal that water and sanitation is a key priority for the international community.

Can you take action to make sure the U.S. Delegation to the United Nations supports the Human Right to Water?
