Another Campaign Contribution Payback
Sometimes things are not as they seem. We all understand that the Americans for Disability Act has improved accessibility for persons with disabilities over the last two decades. However, what we don’t know is that the manipulation of a detail of a good thing can be a really bad thing. Eric Holder and our Department […]
Election Campaigns Fuel Corruption in Congress
We already know that any elected official on local and national levels is required to accept money to pay for activities that will get him/her elected. But did you know that campaign contributions can legally be funneled through to directly and personally benefit the candidate? Even if the dependence on campaign contributions for election isn’t […]

Evelyn Paswall, 83, files a $1 Million lawsuit claiming that she didn’t realize that she was walking into a wall of glass as she approached the Manhasset store, and says that she broke her nose as a result of the collision.

The passage of this bill is ‘going through the motions’ of placating the public with a hollow action. The fact of the matter is that profiting personally […]
Practicing Courage Everyday
Sgt Maj Daly is one of the icons of Marine Corps history. His acts of courage are briefed to recruits in order for the young Marines to better understand the responsibilities they are inheriting from a long line of rough, but noble warriors. Today courage is just as important as it’s ever been, although most […]
Intern Sues For Unpaid Wages
Lucy Bickerton, an intern between June and August in 2007, filed a lawsuit against US television talk show host and journalist Charlie Rose, saying that her internship violated labor laws because she did not receive training and was unpaid.
