Auto Body: Dent & Rust Repair – 3 of 6
More info: http://www.metacog.com
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Aren't respirator masks the ones with filters?……..
That guy paints like a fuckin retard.
Point or order.. good idea to feather edge the sand scratches around the outside before applying filler, just in case you go a little too far a fluck up your filler work..
Exactly!! that's why they come off as dumbasses.
@kentacoma67 lol thank you captain obvious isnt that true for just about anything
@ladedk yeah but just so everyone knows a paper dust mask like that does not protect you against the paint fumes while painting you need to wear a respirator with an organic vapor filter and the masks these guys are wearing only keep dust out
This is a great video for DIY repairing paint on old cars/trucks
buy your paint from sherwin willams they carrie pPg,duPont and house of color.
so a few years ago i went to napa and had them mix me some green paint in a rattle can for my truck. i picked it up and turns out it was red. so i went back there and raised some hell and got a new can of green. got that home and that was dark green. my truck is light green. dont buy your paint from napa
hey guys pretty sure your dust masks arent going to protect you from deadly vapors.
what a joke,an auto body shop?
I need to sell my sata and get me one of those handles for a spray can to paint with
as faR as primer , use a primer filler then use black primer very lightly as a guide coat to find hard to see scratches, sand that with 500or 600g 500 is better,
sand body filler with 40 grit once straight, sand with 80 to make it smooth, hit it up with polyester putty sand with 100g smooth it with 180, also feather edge old paint and primer with 180g
Pretty good except i learned from exp. to work the grinded edge with 80 grit and let your putty run over edge to fill in deep grinding marks. Always come behind 80 grit with 180 grit before you prime. If not the primer will shrink and sand scratches will show in matter of days. especcially laquer primer. best to let primer dry 24 hrs. before sanding to help avoid shrinkage. Not saying im a know it all just cant sleep seeing how others do mudd work lol
Help alot thanks
It's is easy if you have the right tools for the job, and the knowledge.
seems easy in theory
Remember your masks, guys!! Safety first.
thank u for posting
25 seconds in and this video is already amazing. i hope this video was shot this year.
Mullets rule!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes even outside i have a Friend in need of a double lung transplant, and i dont think you want that. its better to be safe then dead
also when you work outside?
wow, that looks nothing like "a real pistol" why are you such a dumb bitch
the cheapo Harbor Freight respirator is $20 and a thousand times better than dust masks – breathes easy, doesn't fog the goggles and
has replaceable filters. When I started using this I quit blowing rusty mud buggars after grinding.
oh that's hilarious!
Its ok to make rockers stronger. Not frame rails, but rockers are OK. Cars are made with whats called impact zones, but the passenger compartment is not made to absorb energy. Well kind of it is, like windshield posts from a front end wreck, but all in all, that part of the car, the passenger compartment is not made to give way. Its a gray area. If a B pillar is right next to a persons shoulder, is it better to have it give so less energy is passed into the compartment, or better ridged.
anybody actually going to follow things get a better mask your lungs will last longer
the rocker is not just structure for jacking but also structure or the entire vehicle.. the rocker will need to be cut out "at proper cut points" and a new rocker properly weldied back in. in must be strong but not stronger then ment to be from factory
lol from 0:20 to 0:41, it looks like there is a real pistol being pointed at his head
i like his hair
I like these videos because they are good diy without using a lot of expensive equipment. Obviously not meant to restore a classic car but would help freshen up a daily driver that wouldn't justify a $3000 body job.
thank you. im 13 and love to fix things and this is a 20 year old car so i just want to use it as a pratice car so its ok if i fuck up.
im sure if you got the same thickness metal or a little thicker and welded it in properly, aslong as the welds are stong, it should hold fine, but if i were you i'd send a quick email to a bodyshop and just ask there opinion aswell, it would be fine in my opinion though.
is it possible if i just did it without reinforcing the roker panel because i think im good enough to do this.
its a bodyshop job, they'd have to cut the rusted piece out, weld a new piece in, sand it down to fit and spray it to blend it in, its the only real way to get rid of cancerous rust
his voice….its just so flat and borrrrrrrring… really good info though makes me want to but a junker car even more
i have a question. i have a 20 year old toyota with large holes in the roker panels from rust. since this is a structural part of the car (for jacking) i cannot fill it with auto body putty. what should i do.
just what I need
thank you for uploading this, 5 stars very professional.
this is a great video.
As above (subject) …… Find holes

Is Wi-Fi on school buses a good idea?
Some school districts are adding digital capabilities to kids' daily commute.
As school districts strive to embrace the ever-changing world of technology, some schools are wiring buses with Wi-Fi to enable on-the-road productivity.
This month, the North Kansas City School District will begin wiring four school buses that are used for longer trips with Wi-Fi access, reports The Kansas City Star.
"We are living in a digital age," Eric Sipes, information technology executive director for the school district was quoted. "We are at that point where we have to embrace it."
More from MSN Living: 51 perfect daytrips for families
The idea is to wire buses with industrial grade wireless 3-G Internet systems to create a moving Wi-Fi hotspot for longer highway trips. The idea initially proposed several years ago by Lon Waterman, assistant director of transportation for North Kansas City School District, was in response to how students learn in a digital age.
Eventually, every student, kindergarten to senior year, will be linked with a laptop, an iPad, some sort of personal technology device at the district's expense.
When students first began bringing their cellphones and laptops into classrooms, the approach most school districts took was to tell them to turn off the devices and pay attention in class, Ray Daniels, co-chairman of the Mayors' Bistate Innovation Team and a former superintendent of the Kansas City, Kan., Public Schools. "You have to think that using devices, it's the students' language now," Daniels was quoted.
More from MSN Living: The most popular baby names of all time
The district will decide what students can work on as they travel, whether it's researching for assignments or preparing for ACT, SAT or Advanced Placement tests.
Not everyone is a fan of putting Wi-Fi on school buses. On The Stir, Jeanne Sager writes that giving a teenager unrestricted access to the Internet sounds like a brilliant idea, but is potentially a bad idea, likening school busses to "the wild west."
Bing: Sandy Hook students head back to school.
"Have you met a teenager? Knowing kids, it's almost a guarantee that they'll go off script," writes Sager.
Sure, some parents will have the forethought to load their kid's digital devices with safety precautions. And some teens may actually use the time to their educational advantage. But Sager fears that the freedom to surf increases the possibility of sharing something disturbing with a seatmate.
Do you think Wi-Fi on buses is a step in keeping up with the digital needs of students or the recipe for disaster?

Barrington Books is pleased to host debut author Sebastian Cole for a signing of Sand Dollar: A Story of Undying Love on Thursday, December 13, 2012, at 6:30 pm.
Sand Dollar is an epic, heart-wrenching love story about "the one who got away." With sharply drawn characters, suspense, and a surprise ending, Sand Dollar is uniquely different from other works of fiction in its genre. A man on his deathbed describes his life of love and loss to a wise orderly, only to discover a far greater truth about the past, present, and future. Things are definitely not as they appear as the pieces of a shattered love are put back together in the remarkable final chapter of Noah's life.
Author Sebastian Cole is a native Rhode Islander and graduate of Brown University. Set in Rhode Island, his book also reflects his love for boating on Narragansett Bay. Sebastian writes from the heart, believes in true love, love at first sight, and finding the one person in life you're meant to be with. His debut novel has been getting rave reviews, many of which compare him to Nicholas Sparks. Sand Dollar was a finalist in the ForeWord Firsts debut literary competition for first-time authors.
Jon Land, bestselling author said this about Cole's novel: "Sand Dollar is one of those rare books that makes you feel, laugh and cry all at the same time. This smashing debut by Sebastian Cole reads like the best of Nicholas Sparks with just enough schmaltz."

OSDL Shifts Focus, Cuts Staff
The OSDLthe sponsor of Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, and other key developerson Dec. 4 laid off a sizable portion of its engineering staff in a move that left the OSDLs Beaverton, Ore., offices a "ghost town," sources said.
"OSDL is making some changes for 2007, including a realignment in focus and staff," Jennifer Cloer, a spokeswoman for the organization, told eWEEK. "Stuart [Cohen, formerly chief executive of OSDL] is resigning, and current CFO [Chief Financial Officer] Mike Temple will take over as chief operating officer. This realignment includes some layoffs."
The OSDL does not see patent infringement as a real open-source threat. Click here to read more.
Cohen did not return a call left for him at his office Dec. 4.
However, in a statement, Temple said: "OSDL has made some difficult decisions to align its resources to address specific projects and programs that focus on the things that create the greatest value for its members. Linux has received unprecedented market validation and continues to see unprecedented growth. As the market matures, OSDL will continue to refine its focus to meet the evolving needs of our members."
An official statement from the OSDL said "approximately" nine people lost their jobs and that the OSDL now employs 19 in the United States and Asia. Some of the projects those laid-off employees were working on will be shelved. Yet, OSDL will also outsource some of its IT and infrastructure functions as well as some project work, the OSDL statement said.
Moreover, Cohen, who "resigned to pursue other opportunities related to open-source software and collaboration," said his experience at the OSDL was "amazing" and that helping to grow the Linux market has been one of the most rewarding achievements of his career.
"Im looking forward to forming a venture to explore open-source joint development using best practices in collaboration and building communities," Cohen said in a statement.
The OSDL is shifting its resources to focus on four key areas: continuing to provide a safe haven for key developers, sponsoring the work of Torvalds and others; providing increased legal support for Linux and open source to account for licensing and patent issues that are increasing in complexity (this expansion will complement current OSDL initiatives such as the Patent Commons, Osapa.org and the Linux Legal Defense Fund); supporting ongoing regional activities such as the Japanese Linux Symposium; and fostering closer collaboration among community developers, OSDL members and users to produce more code to advance open-source projects, OSDL officials said in a statement.

Victoria International Chalk Festival Debuts In British Columbia
The Victoria Chalk Festival will debut from September 12 to September 16, 2012, in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and will continue on in years to come. The event is being led by famous international 3D chalk artist, Tracy Lee Stum, who will create a 20ft x 20ft 3D chalk art drawing at The Bay Centre's lower level. Then on the 15th and 16th, local and international artists will join in by creating chalk masterpieces on Government Street, which will close to traffic.
"It's a beautiful City with amazing people, architecture, culture and potential. Still, if we don't keep working to create excitement and vibrancy, Victoria's downtown can, and almost certainly will, fall into the sort of decline that other major cities have experienced," says John Vickers, creator of the festival. "We need to keep downtown relevant."
This event is free to the public.
For a more visual ideal of Tracy Less Stum's chalk art, check out the gallery below.

Great event and awesome weather. My only suggestion is to have better control over Government street for how you set the artist's up. May I suggest one of two ways:
1) you have the artist in the middle of the street with line on other sides for better crowd control...have breaks between artist so that people can flow arond them or
2)have a middle walk way with the artist's setting up on the East or West side of the street....this would allow for uninteruppted flow of on-looker's.
Thanks again for bringing this and the "Busker's" to Victoria....keep up the great work!

TEAMS: Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, New York Rangers
Lane MacDermid will make his return to the Bruins' lineup tonight as they take on the Sabres at TD Garden.
Through six games, the third line of the Bruins has done next to nothing for the team offensively. They have combined for no goals and just two points in just over 15 minutes of ice time per game. So, it's time to shake things up.
For that reason, coach Claude Julien has made his first performance-related move of the season as the team will designate Chris Bourque as a healthy scratch tonight when the team takes on the 2-3-1 Sabers at TD Garden.
In six games so far this season, Bourque has contributed just three shots in 96 shifts while not really adding to the second unit of an already struggling power-play. His line of 0-0-0 is not exactly getting it done.
Tough guy Lane MacDermid will be inserted into the lineup tonight and Daniel Paille will take Bourque's place on the third line to the left of Chris Kelly and Rich Peverley.

On a daily basis we collect left over vegetable matter from the lunchroom and add it to our compost pile. We use the compost in our class garden where we grow mainly peas, radishes, greens and sunflowers. We have been collecting paper and newspaper weekly for the Solid Waste Authority in the paper recycling program that they run. Aluminum cans are collected at a monthly can drive with prizes for the classes meeting certain preset criteria, such as, most pounds for their grade or beating last month's class record. After each can drive, a newsletter is published telling about the progress made towards our school goal. The original goal was 1000 pounds. Our total as of the May drive was over 2200 pounds.

Hockey Hall of Fame Weekend!
There may not be an NHL season, but this weekend the Hockey Hall of Fame officially inducts its latest class into Toronto.
The class is a solid one, headlined by Joe Sakic who enters on his first year of eligibility. The native of British Colombia won every accolade worth winning in hockey. He is a former Hart Trophy winner and Stanley Cup Champion. His trophy case also includes an Olympic Gold Medal, a World Junior Gold Medal, A Lady Byng and a First Team All Star Selection. Had Sakic not entered in his first year, it would have been considered a travesty.

Interview with Margareta Wahlström, Assistant Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction
The Gateway to UN System's Work on Climate Change interviewed Margareta Wahlström, Assistant Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction. The UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction serves as the focal point in the UN system for the coordination of disaster risk reduction and ensures synergies among disaster risk reduction activities.
Gateway: You've said that Hurricane Sandy underlines global threat of climate change and more extreme weather events. How so, and do you see specific instances where climate change is actually linked to disaster risks?
Wahlström: Eighty-five to ninety per cent of the world disasters are weather-related, and weather is, of course, a short-term climate issue. Although the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns you that one single event isn't a sign of climate change, we—both disaster practitioners and scientists—do know that the intensity of extreme-weather events is increasing and will continue to do so. These events may also increasingly occur in places where you never expected them.
It is like a convergence of issues and an accumulation of them. The Special Report of Extreme Events, which IPCC and disaster experts produced earlier this year, tells us that these are scientifically sound trends. If we don't acknowledge and underline them, we are disempowering ourselves by not doing what we can in the medium-term.
In particular, there is strong evidence that sea-level rise will continue to cause increasing water-related challenges such as coastal erosion, the type of flooding we saw in New York during Hurricane Sandy, and increased precipitation in many parts of the world.
Let's look at a country like Switzerland which many people think is extremely safe. The fact is that Switzerland is very exposed to hazards. The melting glaciers has an enormous impact on Switzerland, and the country has taken this very seriously in the past 20 years. For me, there's no question mark in the link between climate change and the severity of disasters and the challenge of understanding these trends is slowly being met.
Gateway: What would you say to the climate change skeptics?
Wahlström: I say the causes [of climate change] are not our only concern. We can see first-hand the impacts of increased vulnerabilities, and that's what we want to reduce and mitigate. We can continue to question the causes of climate change, but that doesn't change the reality and what has to be done to address its impacts .
There are trends and new challenges that must be addressed. For example, there are many poor parts of the world that are still dependent on agriculture, where saline infiltration is destroying all possibilities of productive agriculture. This is contributing to food security crises in these areas. The destruction of dry lands and desertification combined with the increasing world population and consumption in certain countries is posing problems. Such challenges can only be tackled when you look at them as challenges.
Gateway: Is the problem that there are more risks and disasters, or are there just more and more people?
Wahlström: There are certainly more and more people living in harm's way. This in itself accelerates and escalates disasters' impact. But there are also more intense extreme events.
Scientific evidence shows that there is increased intensity of hurricanes, for instance. The Philippines experiences about 15-20 typhoons passing through every year, and some of these typhoons have been increasingly taking "freak" paths. For example, in 2011, when Typhoon Sendong (also known as Severe Tropical Storm Washi) made landfall over Mindanao and then Palawan a day later, the huge damage was not caused by extreme precipitation or heavy winds but by the fact that the unpredictability of the typhoon did not let early warning systems work effectively. What exacerbated the immense destruction was the environmental degradation caused by deforestation.
Gateway: Hurricane Sandy hit Haiti, Jamaica, the Bahamas and New York. What's the difference in terms of the impact of a disaster in a developed country and a developing country?
Wahlström: Due to high exposure to hazards in the region, the Caribbean people expect several hurricanes every year. Cuba, for example, has always been a role model for effective early warning evacuation preparedness and for decades has had no or very little loss of life due to hurricane disasters. The challenge for Caribbean countries today is in fact the huge cost of recovery and reconstruction. Their economies are small, and highly vulnerable to this type of damage. Hurricanes happen so frequently in this region that governments are unable to pay back their loans any more. So countries have an accumulation of international debt which hampers with economic growth when it comes to the competitiveness of a country with very few sources of national income (tourism and agriculture). These economies are the most vulnerable ones even when they're good at saving lives.
For the US, Florida is used to hurricanes, but further up the eastern seaboard, cities are less so. What really happened during Hurricane Sandy was a convergence of several factors, which made an extraordinary impact and caused tsunami-like devastation and great economic losses. Part of the challenge in the future in New York will be related to infrastructure and shaping smart investment for the areas that are most exposed to such events in the years to come.
Gateway: What are the practical steps governments can take to make each country more disaster resilient? And what can individuals do?
Wahlström: Depending on the political structure of the country, steps can entirely vary. Every now and then I ask people what would be the one thing they would consistently implement to improve resilience and safety in the future and surprisingly, governments and other actors point to public education and awareness as one important area of work.
There is a trust gap between the people and the governments today that needs to be filled in many parts of the world. I strongly believe that we need a source of reliable, trusted and authoritative information. So this issue of public awareness and education is also an issue of trust and accountability.
Climate change impact has to be tackled as an issue of the highest political priority. I think the opportunity for this work to mature presents itself in the deliberation process for a 2015 framework for action (the post-2015 framework for disaster risk reduction will succeed the current Hyogo Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters). I think that plan could be the one with which we consistently make progress in well-defined areas.
We are on the third cycle of the Hyogo Framework for Action Monitor, and approximately 50 countries are reporting on their progress in disaster risk reduction. And there is a sort of a baseline to assess relative progress. An impressive number of governments have passed regulations and legislations or are making efforts for mainstreaming early-warning systems and implementing better emergency response.
Gateway: Did Rio+20 help?
Wahlström: It did. Disasters were already discussed in the Earth Summit in 1992, but the issue did not have enough clout. The Rio+20 conference proved that this is now a high priority for a larger number of countries.
Gateway: What is the significance of the Fourth Session of the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Geneva in May 2013?
Wahlström: The Global Platform will serve as the staging point of deliberation on the successor to the Hyogo Framework for Action. We're encouraging countries and organizations to look at their accomplishments and constraints, what they want for the post-2015 development agenda, what would be helpful for them in their countries, and what would be helpful on an international level.
In the 2011 UN Secretary-General's Report on ISDR, it is stated that there cannot be any future sustainable agenda that doesn't recognize a plan for risks. I would like to see a post-2015 development agenda that frames its goals and aspirations in recognition of climate and disaster risks.

Greetings all ...
I am currently moving a website from Microsoft IIS v7 onto Apache2 v5.5 under a Debian variant. There will be several different Virtual Hosts. Everything is basically working but I need a little advice:
IIS7 has an option which permits entry of a list of possible Host/Server Name/Identity submissions which may be received for any given specified Virtual Host.
For example:
might all have to point to the same content on the web server.
So, to the point: what is the simplest and most effective method of achieving this in Apache2?
Incidentally, I am using Webmin 1.6 to manage the server applications on the Debian machine.
Many thanks,
Kenneth Spencer

Apalling customer service
If I could I would give no stars for this. Tried to pay off balance on card 3 weeks ago and still trying while the interest just adds up. Spent a fortune on phone calls to customer service, received a couple of emails telling me someone would phone me and almost a fortnight later still waiting on the never coming phone call. I eventually gave up again and phoned them in yet another failed attempt to pay off the card and after 17 mins I got transferred to someone "higher up" in customer service who offered to freeze the interest until the start of April when I would be able to pay off the card (apparently you can only make 2 payments in any one month before their system won't allow another payment on the account), even though my attempts to pay failed they still count as payments. She then asked me if I was happy with the outcome, which I was not as it did not sort the problem as I could still not pay off my card and no one from customer service had called me when they said they would, she then told me she could not freeze the interest and my complaint would be sent to another department. So Barclay card was trying to buy me off for a few pounds of interest. No way. I then received an email 10 days ago saying someone would be in touch in 7 days, still no phone call, email or letter. Atrocious service. I tried on the 2nd April to pay off card and once again was unsuccessful. Dont understand why I can't pay off the balance, I have enough money in my account, my details are up to date. I just want to get rid of my card debt but Barclay card are holding me to randsom by now allowing this and charging me more interest every day, then not phoning when they say they will. As soon as I can I will be cancelling this account. Don't touch Barclay card, their customer service is rubbish.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
Health insurance, called Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), is compulsory for international students studying in Australia. This insurance covers you for certain medical costs if you need to visit a doctor or go to hospital while you are studying in Australia.
In 2014, the cost for standard OSHC is A$498 per year per single student. OSHC for 2015 has not yet been determined by Medibank Private.
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) charges | 2014 | |
6 months | A$249 | |
1 year | A$498 |
Students must pay OSHC for the entire length of their visa. Health cover rate is subject to review.
Health cover cards will either be delivered to you directly from Medibank Private or via DEC International. This process may take a few weeks. If a student needs medical attention before they receive their membership card, they should pay for the service and keep all receipts. They can claim a refund from Medibank Private when issued with their card.
You should check the policy carefully in advance, including the details of what is covered. Optional extra cover is available for an additional fee.
Serious medical problems should be declared on your application form and taken care of before you come to Australia, as standard OSHC generally does not cover pre-existing medical conditions.
For more information about OSHC, visit the Medibank Private website
Payments, reviews and refunds
New students must pay:
- Application fee
- Overseas Student Health Cover
- Fees specified in the DEC International invoice which will be no more than 50% of the total tuition fees for the course of study or fees paid for a study period, whichever is the greater.
Continuing Students must pay:
- Fees specified in the DEC International invoice by the due date.
Review of fees
NSW Department of Education and Communities reserves the right to review its fees. If tuition fees are increased you will be required to pay the new fees as they are introduced. If you defer your course, you will be required to pay the fees which apply at your new commencement date.

I was able to get into the service menu of the 55LM6700 with the 0413 code but most of the options are greyed out including THX and THX 3d which are both set to off by default. Not sure how to "un-grey" them except maybe a different 4 digit pin meant for this year's model.

This was expected to be the closest tie of the Champions League quarter-final stage, but was actually won by the biggest margin.
Antonio Conte was without the suspended duo of Arturo Vidal and Stephane Lichtsteiner, so he played Paul Pogba and Federico Peluso. Mirko Vucinic returned to the side upfront.
Jupp Heynckes welcomed back Javi Martinez from suspension, but otherwise continued with the side that played the majority of the first leg, after Toni Kroos' injury.
Juventus started the game brightly, but Bayern eventually took command and calmed the tempo of the game. Read more »

Fat Free Foods and Weight Loss
Some people might think, the perfect food is fat free ice cream. You get to indulge in all the ice-cream, without loading on the fat. So, they could eat all they want, and not gain any fat.
The reality is that eating fat free foods are not going to help you lose weight. Wonder why?
Regular ice cream has saturated fat as its main ingredient. The next one being sugar. The high fat content makes it set so well at low temperatures (in your freezer). Now to make this a fat free food or low fat, ice cream manufacturers introduce a lot more sugar and chemicals, to mimic the taste and texture of full fat ice cream.
So, if you ever notice the the calorie value, low fat ice cream is about the same as full fat ice cream- except it has more sugar. Now, that is actually worse for you in three ways. The first of course is the high sugar content. The second is the lower fat content, which makes you eat more. Let me explain that – Fat takes longer to digest, so it keeps you feeling full for longer. Sugar (Simple carbohydrates) gets metabolized fast, so you land up eating more. The third is psychological – People assume since its fat free ice cream, they can eat more of it.
As a result, they actually land up consuming more calories, more sugar and feel less satisfied.
Last but not the least, to make a food fat free that isn't naturally so, many chemicals are added. These chemicals could be harmful to your body.
At Fitho, we believe that if you're really craving ice cream or something, go for the natural real thing. Some fat is less harmful than a bunch of chemicals. Just make sure you control your portion.
Next time, skip the fat free food stuff and go for the real thing
Fitho Tip: Eat with a small spoon. You savour the taste better and its more satisfying. Try the 3 bite rule.

Martin Heinrich on Civil Rights | |
Balderas: I see this as a civil rights issue. Yes, I'm supportive of gay marriage and of civil rights issues for all groups.
Heinrich: I support marriage equality. I commend the president for stepping out on the issue. All couples should have access to civil rights. I would work to repeal DOMA
Opponent's Argument for voting No (The Week; Huffington Post, and The Atlantic): House Republicans had objected to provisions in the Senate bill that extended VAWA's protections to lesbians, gays, immigrants, and Native Americans. For example, Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH) voted against the VAWA bill because it was a "politically�motivated, constitutionally-dubious Senate version bent on dividing women into categories by race, transgender politics and sexual preference." The objections can be grouped in two broadly ideological areas--that the law is an unnecessary overreach by the federal government, and that it represents a "feminist" attack on family values. The act's grants have encouraged states to implement "mandatory-arrest" policies, under which police responding to domestic-violence calls are required to make an arrest. These policies were intended to combat the too-common situation in which a victim is intimidated into recanting an abuse accusation. Critics also say VAWA has been subject to waste, fraud, and abuse because of insufficient oversight.
Heinrich says, "Heinrich (D-NM)"
Prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity by covered entities (employers, employment agencies, labor organizations, or joint labor-management committees). Prohibits preferential treatment or quotas. Allows only disparate treatment claims. Prohibits related retaliation.
JOINT RESOLUTION: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relative to equal rights for men and women. Constitutional Amendment: Prohibits denying or abridging equality of rights under the law by the United States or by any state on account of sex.
[Explanatory note from Wikipedia.com and OnTheIssues.org]:
The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) was a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution. The ERA was originally written by Alice Paul and, in 1923, it was introduced in the Congress for the first time. In 1972, it passed both houses of Congress, but failed to gain ratification before its June 30, 1982 deadline. This new proposed amendment is identical in wording to the original 1972 proposed amendment. It was proposed in Congress in every session from 1923 through 1970 prior to passing in 1972; and has been re-introduced in Congress in every session since 1982 after its failure at ratification. The current version removes the Congressionally imposed deadline for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, so that if the bill passes Congress, states have no deadline as they did in 1982.
The Feminist Majority endorses candidates for the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. In addition to the stronger "endorsement," the organization also determines "preferred" candidates in races where they do not endorse. Their mission statement:
"Our mission is to empower feminists, who are the majority, and to win equality for women at the decision-making tables of the state, nation, and the world. The Feminist Majority promotes non-discrimination on the basis of sex, race, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, religion, ethnicity, age, marital status, nation of origin, size or disability. The purpose of Feminist Majority is to promote equality for women and men, non-violence, reproductive health, peace, social justice and economic development and to enhance feminist participation in public policy. Feminist Majority supports workers� collective bargaining, pay equity, and end of sweatshops. We encourage programs directed at the preservation of the environment."
Congressional Summary:
Opponent's argument against bill:(by Cato Institute reported on Fox News): A bill in Congress that would prohibit discrimination in public schools based on sexual orientation or gender identity could stifle free speech and even lead to "homosexual indoctrination" in the nation's classrooms, critics say.
"The real danger is how this will be interpreted," said the associate director of the Center for Educational Freedom at the Cato Institute. "The definition of harassment could be broadly interpreted that anybody who expressed a totally legitimate opinion about homosexual behavior could be made illegal. That's a violation of those kids who want to express opposition to LGBT opinions or behavior. People have a legitimate reason to be concerned about this--not because they're 'haters' but because you're now trying to balance different rights."
Proponent's argument for bill: (Rep. Jared POLIS, House sponsor): "Hatred has no place in the classroom. Every student has the right to an education free from harassment and violence. This bill will protect the freedoms of our students and enshrine the values of equality and opportunity in the classroom."
