I just wanted to take a moment and voice my anguish, sorrow and anger about the tragedy today. Since learning of this tragic event, I have wanted to cry, I have a son and daughter that are close to the ages of the kids that died. Things like this hit way to close to home when they happen. Just a few minutes ago, I was on Facebook and I just left a message to a family members status. I told her that all I want to do is cry. While reflecting on that feeling, I became angry at all of those self righteous people that call themselves pro-life. The first instance of anything spoken about gun control, these same people, who call themselves pro-life get up in arms about their freedoms, But what about the freedom to live and grow up for the 20 children that died today, senselessly. They want to end abortion, lets end the slaughter of our citizens with guns. I believe in the right to bear arms, but that has to be a limit to better control all weapons.

Friday, when I opened up my newspaper, The Toledo Blade, and browsed through the stories on the front page, I made my way to the opinion page. One look at the cartoon done by Kirk Walters made me laugh out loud and I wanted to give everybody here a chance to see it.

My wife bought me a book not to long ago called "The Supremes' Greatest Hits." This book looks at 34 Supreme Court cases that affects we the people. One of the cases that was discussed was Monroe v. Pape.
To Summarize, thirteen Chicago police officers stormed the plantiff's home, with him standing naked in the living room, the police began ransacking his home, without a search warrant, then took him to jail. The Chicago police department was looking for evidence from a 2 day old murder. Monroe wasn't allowed to contact an attorney and was eventually released from custody after being held for ten hours. Oh and Monroe, he was African American.

I have volunteered to be a precinct judge during this November's general election. I received two hours of training established by my local county Board of Elections. Now, I am exp;ected to arrive at my polling location and begin the process of conducting, monitoring and controlling not only my workers but an electorate that will want to vote and very wary of those running the election process.

Today I found an article on Salon.com of another precinct judge in Ohio and I'm slightly overwhelmed and I used to work at the board of elections. Read More
