DNC - Party Platform document for all to read.
It is refreshing reading and across all spectrums a encouraging document.
I can relate to several sections, just one off the top is:
Pg 19 - Guaranteeing Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Rights :
Democrats applaud last year’s decision by the Supreme Court that recognized that LGBT people—like other Americans—have the right to marry the person they love. But there is still much work to be done. LGBT kids continue to be bullied at school, restaurants can refuse to serve transgender people, and same-sex couples are at risk of being evicted from their homes. That is unacceptable and must change. Democrats will fight for the continued development of sex discrimination law to cover LGBT people. We will also fight for comprehensive federal non-discrimination protections for all LGBT Americans, to guarantee equal rights in areas such as housing, employment, public accommodations, credit, jury service, education, and federal funding. We will oppose all state efforts to discriminate against LGBT individuals, including legislation that restricts the right to access public spaces. We support a progressive vision of religious freedom that respects pluralism and rejects the misuse of religion to discriminate. We will combat LGBT youth homelessness and improve school climates. We will support LGBT elders, ensure access to necessary health care, and protect LGBT people from violence—including ending the crisis of violence against transgender Americans. We will also promote LGBT human rights and ensure America’s foreign policy is inclusive of LGBT people around the world.






 

Update:

Hello everyone of my long but not forgotten listeners.

I have not abandoned you, merely taken time to attend to much needed issues.

I am planning on returning, but as of yet can not give you a return date.

But it definitely will happen!

I've had many things to do and accomplish - renovations, puppy schooling, health, family emergencies and work.

I did post a tweet of something that really irked me the other day, which some of you might have seen.

It is an issue with a online supplier who has fleeced me (scammed?) of some money. I ordered some shoes with them (as one does nowadays) as the site led me to believe they were actually located in country.
I find out after the order was placed it was actually overseas in China, after I requested a tracking number that was supposed to be "3.We will send you your tracking number in 36-48 hours after we receive your Payment." That never actually happened.

Now, that is not an issue as a lot of commercial items are now manufactured in China as you can tell by picking any random item up and looking at the label stating "Made in China."

My issue began when I finally received an order and opened it up to find shoes I DID NOT ORDER!
The shoes I was sent were wrong design, inferior quality and I was charged for shipping when they specifically state on their website they offer free shipping worldwide.

Then the fiasco began!

1. Can u pls send us a proof,then we will find u a solution meothod.Thanks.

Okay, pictures of what I ordered off their website and of what they sent me.

     2.  so sorry,do not like the items you got at all?

No, I want what I ordered. (really??? If I wanted that shoe I would have ordered it).

     3. If 15% refund and you can keep the parcel,are u interested?It will not bring u extra lost:)You also can sell the wrong pair for extra fees

No, I don't want to sell something I never wanted~! And 15% ?!?!?

    4. But customs is strict recently.It will bring u high risk to send back.You may get nothing at all.Return will also have long time procedure.To save your extra cost,we will do u partial refund as compensation and you can keep the parcel received,do u think it is better?

No, that is your issue not mine!



So....now I have contacted my credit card company and started proceedings for fraud and asked for Visa to intervene.

I suggest NO ONE shop at aussiegardensvillage.com.au as you potentially will be suffering the same.

This is but just one of the issues I have been dealing with, so you can understand how I have not had time to really sit down for 2-4 hours for recordings.

But I will........
