Reselling your stuff make become illegal thanks to the Federal Court and the Supreme Court

Read about the case here, click 
Are you in?  More than 3,000 sites -- including prominent allies like the Electronic Frontier Foundation -- have signed up to take part in today's day of action. The Supreme Court is hearing that case that will decide if you have the right to resell the things you own.
Ebay, Craigslist, and even the old-fashioned garage sale are under threat.
Sites will be using our ribbons and ball-and-chain icons to sound the alarm about the Kirtsaeng vs John Wiley & Sons case:
The Supreme Court might side with Big Business and decide that you don't have the right to resell things that were made abroad: books, clothes, iPhones -- almost anything.
If you're planning to take part, please click here to grab the code for one of those icons, and post it on your site! (And maybe write up a blurb about why you're taking a stand.)
Here's what it'll look like:


We expect to have a legislative fight on our hands come winter, no matter how the Supreme Court rules.  So we want to drive thousands of emails to lawmakers before Big Business sics its brigade of lobbyists on them.
Whether or not you're posting on your site, will you spread word to your friends -- and especially anybody who you know who sells things online?

Tillis Changing the Rules,

Via the NewsObserver.com

One of the final bills passed by the General Assembly before they left town on  Wednesday was a fix, reports The Insider.

Apparently, House Speaker Thom Tillis had appointed a licensed real estate broker, Joseph Ramsey Jr. of Raleigh, to the "public member" slot on N.C. Home Inspector Licensure Board. That raised some questions as it appeared to violate statutory directives governing the board's membership, according to The Insider.

Those directives say that the public slot member can NOT be a licensed real estate broker, home inspector or general contractor. Other slots on the board are set aside for those professions.

So what did lawmakers do? Why they just changed that pesky rule. Now the directive simply requires that the public member not be "actively engaged" in any of the three professions listed.

Tillis told the Insider Wednesday that it was his understanding that Ramsey is not an active real estate broker and that the board will continue to have balance.

How I have to wonder,if the Democrats did this, the Republicans would be outrage over it. However,since they are in charge for the first time in over a hundreds years they are changing the rules to keep them in power.

Tillis is the worst kind of Republican, whom just doesn’t care as long as he gets what the wants. He not doing the backroom deals in private, he doing openly and daring anyone to challenge him.

This NCGA session is mark with backroom deals and payoffs.. He screwed the teachers to give his staff fat raises. It seem that the NCGOP marked Teachers and LGBT community to destroy.. Making sure the teachers union could get paid by payroll deduction, making LGBT citizen feel more then second class citizens..

One would have to ask what is next? Where will this end? but, most of the folks of NC what to know where are these jobs bills?

It was once said to a group of people whom were marching in a peaceful vigil for the lost of two public officials, someone cried out, “Where is your Anger”? Yes, Where is our Anger?.. What will happen once we find our Anger? Teachers, LGBT community have the right to be piss off with those in the NCGA..

It’s Time to Find our Anger and put it to work..
