WTF: TeaBagger Congresswoman Renee Ellmers want's to Honor NC biggest Bigot and Complete Asshole Jessie Helms

Can you actually believe this shit,

Honoring Senator Jesse Helms

This week, I was proud to submit H.R. 6607 - a bill to name the Century Post Office in Raleigh as the 'Jesse Helms Federal Building and United States Courthouse'. Senator Helms was an important advocate and representative of North Carolina throughout his 20 years of service in the United States Senate. This bill will ensure that the work he accomplished for the people of North Carolina will live on and invite future generations to learn about the important work he accomplished for our state.
Below is a statement from Mrs. Dorothy Helms, wife of the late Senator Jesse Helms:
"Today, the entire Helms family was deeply touched to learn that Rep. Renee Ellmers (R, N.C.) introduced a House Resolution which will name the historic Century Post Office in Raleigh as the 'Jesse Helms Federal Building and United States Courthouse'.  Jesse’s office was located in that very building for most of his Senate career. He was very proud to have his Senate office in that building on Fayetteville Street — Raleigh’s 'Main Street'.  Jesse was a letter writer throughout his entire life so it's especially meaningful that the building to be named in his honor contains a post office. We are most humbled by Congress’ consideration of this resolution."

This Bitch is on something, need a bill to drug test all of Congress, ASAP.

This man was nothing more then a racist, bigot, homophobe, and a complete jack ass.

Ellmers, his work was to belittle and deny many people the basics items of life. Lets not forget how he treated those with HIV, no matter if they were str8 or Gay or how they become infected.

lets not forget this list,

He actively opposed civil rights, voting rights, disability rights, women's rights and gay rights. He attacked children receiving food stamps, fought against a federal holiday to commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr. and routinely engaged in political and editorial rhetoric that was divisive and rightly considered hate speech. Just one example: the time he called UNC-Chapel Hill the "University of Negroes and Communists."*

if you feel the same then please see below, you can read some of his choicest ranting here, and read a very interesting story here,

Please join us in calling for Congress to reject the idea of naming a building after Jesse Helms. You can sign our petition here.

also Intolerance should not be rewarded and certainly not celebrated, Ellmers you will need to find another way to leave you mark on NC.. Like creating those jobs you and other baggers have been saying you are doing?? Renee Where are the jobs, this bill doesn’t create any jobs, you are wasting taxpayers dollars..

lets not forget this one too,

Earlier this year a move to the name Wake County criminal justice center after Helms was met with resistance.

Ellmers wants to take up Congress time to rename a building after this asshole instead of focusing on our Current Financial issues and other very important items.. The Tea-Republicans really know how to waste time and money in Congress, yet they Blame Obama for everything.

Jesse had a Code word for Blacks,

According to the Wall Street Journal, Helms came up with a code word for blacks, In lieu of the N-word Helms called African Americans "Freds." Helms would ask his staffers, "What does that Fred want?" if a black constituent showed up at his Senate office and I recall hearing him use the the term "Fred" in more public forums. He did not and does not represent or symbolize the North Carolina I work every day to help recover from the Bush recession!

some nice bigoted quotes from Jesse,

“The Negroes of America… have a Congress which would tomorrow morning enact Webster’s Dictionary into law if someone accidentally threw it into the hopper with a civil-rights label. And the Supreme Court would stand in applause.”
—WRAL Viewpoint, 1965

“She’s not your garden-variety lesbian. She’s a militant-activist-mean lesbian, working her whole career to advance the homosexual agenda.”
—Discussing HUD Assistant Secretary Roberta Achtenberg, The News & Observer, 1993

New Law Criminalizing Online Student Speech Takes Effect Dec. 1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NOVEMBER 28, 2012

ACLU-NC Says the First-in-the-Nation Law is Misguided and Chills Free Speech

Group Calls on Students Charged Under the Law to Contact ACLU-NC Office

RALEIGH – A new state law, the 2012 School Violence Prevention Act, that will be the first in the nation to impose criminal sanctions on public school students who use computers with the “intent to intimidate or torment” school employees will go into effect Dec. 1.

The American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina opposes this law because it is too broad, threatens to chill students’ free speech, sets a bad precedent by telling students it’s wrong to criticize government officials, and could saddle students as young as 16 with up to 60 days in jail or a $1,000 fine for a wide range of acts that do not merit a criminal punishment. The law would even criminalize true statements by prohibiting online statements “whether true or false, (emphasis added) intending to immediately provoke, and that is likely to provoke, any third party to stalk or harass a school employee.”

The ACLU-NC is urging any student who is charged under this new law to contact its office.

“This law is so vague that it could easily result in a student being arrested simply for posting something on the Internet that a school official finds offensive,” said ACLU-NC Policy Director Sarah Preston. “Young people should not be taught that they will be punished for telling the truth, speaking freely, or questioning authority – yet that is exactly what could happen under this law. If it is okay to criminalize students who criticize teachers online, what is to stop the government from making it illegal for any one of us to criticize some other government official, like the city council or state legislature, whether the comments are made online or not? We urge any student charged under this misguided law to contact our office immediately.”

HRC's New Municipal Equality Index Details the State of LGBT Equality in U.S. Cities

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 27, 2012

HRC's New Municipal Equality Index Details the State of LGBT Equality in U.S. Cities

First of its kind nationwide evaluation of LGBT inclusion in municipal law and policy finds cities need to do more to protect LGBT employees and citizens

WASHINGTON — Many U.S. cities lack sufficient protections for LGBT people, even in some the “bluest” states with progressive reputations. That's according to a new report by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, the educational arm of the nation's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization. The Municipal Equality Index (MEI), the first ever rating system of LGBT inclusion in municipal law, finds that while many U.S. cities lag behind in protections for LGBT people, some of the most LGBT-friendly policies in the country have been innovated and implemented at the municipal level, including in states with laws that are unfriendly to the LGBT community. The MEI was issued in partnership with the Equality Federation Institute and the Gay and Lesbian Victory Institute.

Key findings from the MEI create a snapshot of LGBT equality in 137 municipalities of varying sizes drawn from every state in the nation – these include the 50 state capitals, the 50 most populous cities in the country, and the 25 large, 25 mid-size, and 25 small municipalities with the highest proportion of same-sex couples. Seattle and other 100-point cities serve as shining examples of LGBT inclusivity, with excellent policies ranging from non-discrimination laws, equal employee benefits, and cutting-edge city services.

As America moves forward in support of LGBT equality, cities across the country are on the forefront of this movement. Cities in every region of the country are fighting for equality at the most intimate level of government. At the same time, cities across the country also have room for improvement. The MEI articulates a path forward and celebrates the success of cities doing this important work.

MEI at a glance:

Eleven of the 137 cities surveyed earned a perfect score of 100 points – these cities came from both coasts and in between, were of varying sizes, and not all are in states with favorable laws for LGBT people;
A quarter of the cities rated scored over 80 points;
45 percent of cites surveyed obtained a score of 60 or higher;
Nearly a third of cites scored between 40 and 60 points, showing good intentions on behalf of municipal governments but also opportunity for improvement; and,
Just under a quarter of the cities scored less than 20 points, including eight cities that scored under ten points and three that scored zero.
"Our nation is on an irreversible path forward in LGBT equality and local and state-level advocacy ensures our voices are heard in public squares across the country" said HRC President Chad Griffin. "This index gives advocates and municipal lawmakers a potent tool to improve the lives of LGBT people."

The MEI rates cities based on 47 criteria falling under six broad categories:

Non-discrimination laws;
Relationship recognition;
The municipality's employment practices;
Inclusiveness of city services;
Law enforcement; and
Municipal leadership.
In today's world, cities must compete for business and brain power. Research shows that to do this, they must treat their LGBT citizens with dignity and respect. Acclaimed Professor Richard Florida authored the forward for the MEI. Professor Florida is a pioneer in research into how the nurturing of a "creative class" (entrepreneurs, artists and architects, researchers, scientists, engineers, and other professionals) creates prosperous, economically competitive cities.

"Advances at the local level are often unheralded, but they are critical to building the momentum we need for statewide and federal victories," said Rebecca Isaacs, Executive Director of Equality Federation Institute. "The Municipal Equality Index not only recognizes the remarkable progress that state equality groups and local partners have made in cities and towns across the country, but is a powerful tool to help push local governments to do better."

"The freedom to be ourselves is most important where we live, work and raise our families. That's why it's so crucial that local and municipal governments understand the need to make life better for LGBT people. We work hard to make sure openly LGBT people participate in government as elected and appointed officials, and the MEI will be a great resource for them," said Chuck Wolfe, president and CEO of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Institute.

The full report, including long form scorecards for every city and a searchable database, is available online at www.hrc.org/mei.

The Human Rights Campaign is America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality. By inspiring and engaging all Americans, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBT citizens and realize a nation that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all.

News Flash, Illinois Supreme Court Rules on Recording Police

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal of a controversial Illinois law prohibiting people from recording police officers on the job.

By passing on the issue, the justices left in place a federal appeals court ruling that found that the state's anti-eavesdropping law violates free-speech rights when used against people who audiotape police officers.

Court Rules You Can Keep Using Your SmartPhone to Record Police Abuses. -Common Dreams
The Supreme Court has blocked enforcement of an Illinois law that prohibited people from recording police officers actions, agreeing with the ACLU that the law "restricts far more speech than necessary to protect legitimate privacy interests.” CopWatch, in New York and elsewhere, explains why it matters.

Equality Federation Announces Fran Hutchins Hire

Dear Friends,
Equality Federation is extremely pleased to announce the hiring of Fran Hutchins as the Director of Member and State Services effective December 1st. Fran brings to the Federation more than ten years of experience with progressive non-profit organizations in the fields of LGBT rights, poverty, homelessness, and other social issues, as well as extensive academic research and writing experience.

Her involvement with state-level groups is part of what drew her to the position at the Federation. “In my work with Equality Maine,” says Fran, “I’ve seen the transformative effect state-level advocacy can have on small communities; this experience has reinforced my commitment to building powerful non-profit advocacy organizations and networks.”
In addition to her work in LGBT advocacy, Fran has worked as a Summer Associate with Jumpstart, a national early education organization, as a Policy and Planning Analyst for the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, and as the Development Coordinator for CHIRLA, a leading immigrant rights group.

Evidence of Racist Jury Profiling by Wilmington 10

State Capitol - Morgan Street Side

Raleigh, NC

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shocking New Evidence of Racist Jury Profiling by Wilmington 10 Prosecutor To Be Discussed as Governor Considers Pardoning the 10 Activists

RALEIGH - Newly discovered racist jury profiling by the Pender County Prosecutor Jay Stroud, shows shocking racial hostility toward prospective Black jurors. In his first effort to select a jury to convict ten young activists who had been charged with burning a Wilmington store, District Attorney Stroud ended up with ten Blacks and two Whites. Stroud felt "sick," and asked for a mistrial. The judge agreed, and the trial was rescheduled for Pender County. Stroud got a list of about 100 prospective jurors, and he wrote racial comments beside most of their names.

            "We rarely get such direct evidence of prosecutorial racism in jury selection," said Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II, President of the North Carolina NAACP. "The prosecutor is ethically bound to put justice over winning. District Attorneys represent all the people in North Carolina, not just White people in North Carolina. We will analyze his thinking at our news conference tomorrow morning."

The North Carolina NAACP will renew its call for Governor Perdue to pardon the ten North Carolinians at a News Conference in Downtown Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 10:00 AM. Exact location to be announced. 

            Researchers discovered the hand-written notes made by Stroud, while he weighed the pros and cons of asking for a mistrial, after selecting his first jury. He decided to move for a mistrial on the grounds he was sick. He also decided to do better planning to select a jury more likely to convict. His profiling was based on one principle, according to his notes: Select a jury made up of "KKK" and "Uncle Tom" types.

            "If this direct evidence had been available for the Fourth Circuit," Rev. Barber commented, "I believe they would have recommended prosecuting the prosecutor."

"The new evidence is a nightmare," Rev. Barber continued. "It's a nightmare to see evidence of this District Attorney committing such egregious acts of hate on behalf of the citizens of North Carolina. The evidence clearly reveals the injustice that took place in the conviction of the Wilmington 10 and the entrenched racism that polluted the process. North Carolina needs to repent and cleanse itself of this tragic misuse of power in our judicial system."

            The North Carolina NAACP brought a resolution to the National NAACP Board of Directors in support of the Wilmington 10, which was passed unanimously. The North Carolina NAACP also initiated a national online petition with the National NAACP asking the Governor to pardon the Wilmington 10.

Just because they have a badge doesn’t mean they know Everything.

Via Photography isn’t a Crime,

Just another Ignorant asshole with a badge who thinks he knows everything, and when that don’t work, just claim the 9/11 law..

Video Description

On Thursday, November 14th when filming near the Valero refinery in Manchester TSB organizers were stopped and approached by two officers of the notoriously violent and corrupt Houston Police Department. E.T. Ramirez, badge number 8407 and D. Jimenez, badge number 8105, claimed that it was against the law to film near Valero, but when questioned about which law that was, neither officer could name it. Upon further questioning one officer simply stated, "9/11."
The police continually harassed the organizers demanding that they produce ID's. One of the organizers refused to cooperate, to which an officer replied, "If you're not doing anything wrong and you don't have any warrants or anything then you shouldn't have any problem giving me your ID."
This is emblematic of the repression directed at anyone that attempts to speak out against the corporations that are systematically poisoning their neighbors. Valero, their private security, and the Houston Police Department sends a clear message to the community: if you question Valero, they'll question you.
After continued resistance to their requests to produce identification the police retreated to their vehicle for a few minutes before coming back to let the TSB crew know they could leave, but not before asking one last time if they were "sure" they didn't want to show them some ID...
Later that same day the crew was interviewing a Manchester resident who lives right next to the Valero refinery and who wanted to raise her voice and speak up about Valero's egregious practices. While filming the interview in a public park --the only park in Manchester-- and not five minutes into the process Valero's private security approached the scene. The security guard, much like the police, proved once again that Valero will do everything in its power to silence anyone attempting to expose the injustice and abuse it perpetrates daily.
This video documents these interactions with Valero security, which would be comical if it weren't so tragic for the residents who have to deal with this type of police harassment on a daily basis.

The Anti-Protest Bill: How Congress Just Took Our Rights Away

HR 347 limits our ability to protest by making "disruptive" behavior a felony. Help us stop it now! Sign the Petition! Share on Facebook!

Imagine an America in which the government can deny protest in any public space it deems fit. Where wearing a dissenting shirt around an elected official could be construed as a felony. Where First-Amendment protections become privileges subjectively doled out by the state. Sadly, that America is pretty much here.

In March, Congress passed HR 347, a bill that limits Americans' ability to protest in public and on government grounds. Mainstream media didn't raise peep, but now there's finally some anger building. The bill, passed almost unanimously, makes it a federal offense punishable by up to ten years in prison to "knowingly" protest in the vicinity of the Secret Service--that is anywhere the Secret Service "is or will be temporarily visiting."

It also makes many public events impervious to lawful protest. Any "National Security Special Event" (NSSE) requires Secret Service protection. NSSE-designated events have proliferated since 9/11 to include Super Bowls, concerts, campaign events, and now any public event that Very Important People want protest-free.

Most dangerously, it criminalizes protest. Under the bill, "disorderly or disruptive conduct" or activities that "impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions" could warrant felony charges. What constitutes such "disruptive conduct" rests in the eye of the beholder--or the eye of Eric Holder. To put it plainly: the government can decide where and when free speech is allowed and severely prosecute any "disruptive" activity, while we're confined to "free speech zones." We can help fix it, however! Join our petition below to protect our speech rights!

PETITION TO CONGRESS: We treasure our first amendment rights of free speech and public assembly! HR 347 limits valid arenas of peaceful public protest, and broadens the government's ability to curtail civil liberties. We demand that Congress amend the bill to provide clearer language as to what constitutes "disruptions"; to allow for reasonable, peaceful protest at NSSEs and around Secret Service; and to ensure that no peaceful protest can ever be deemed a felony.

Supreme Court Pushes Back DOMA & Prop 8 Cases By Ten Days

An update from AFER:

AFER just received word from the U.S. Supreme Court that it will discuss whether to hear AFER’s federal constitutional challenge to California’s Proposition 8 at its private Conference on Friday, November 30. The Court will also consider on that date whether it will hear one or more challenges to the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Both the Prop. 8 case and the DOMA cases had previously been distributed for discussion at the Justices’ November 20 Conference.
The updated timeline suggests that we will likely find out if our case will be heard by the nation’s highest court, or if marriages can resume in California, by Monday, December 3. However, there is no deadline by which the Court must act, and the Justices could hold the case for consideration at a future Conference.

National Organization for Marriage is having a very bad week. The anti-marriage equality organization poured funds and resources into all four states with same-sex marriage ballot measures - and lost every one fucking one of them.

"Our opponents and some in the media will attempt to portray the election results as a changing point in how Americans view gay marriage, but that is not the case. Americans remain strongly in favor of marriage as the union of one man and one woman." - Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage.

Ann Coulter on the Election,

"If Mitt Romney cannot win in this economy, then the tipping point has been reached. We have more takers than makers and it’s over. There is no hope.  Mitt Romney was the president we needed right now, and I think it is so sad that we are going to be deprived of his brain power, of his skills in turning companies around, turning the Olympics around, his kindness for being able to push conservative ideas on a country that no longer is interested in conservative ideas. It is interested in handouts." - Ann Coulter,

Karl Rove Claims Obama Was Suppressed the Votes..

Yea Right, the only folks that were trying to suppressed the Votes were the Bigoted Tea Partiers and the GOP..

Hey Karl get over it.. I’m sure this isn’t the first time you wasted so much money and didn’t get want you wanted..

Mitt Romney lost the election because President Barack Obama engaged in voter suppression, according to Republican political strategist Karl Rove. "He succeeded by suppressing the vote," Rove said in an interview on Fox News with anchor Megyn Kelly on Thursday afternoon, "by saying to people, 'You may not like who I am and I know you can't bring yourself to vote for me, but I'm going to paint this other guy as simply a rich guy who only cares about himself.'"

also in the video note that Fox Have Ohio and Virginia to Romney..

also,

Rove's groups American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS spent more than $300 million on the 2012 election; the candidates it supported overwhelmingly lost on Tuesday, raising questions about Rove's effectiveness and the larger overall strategy of throwing so much money into attack ads.
