Mass. Cops Caught Egging Superior Officer’s Home

Gee Newton Cops, I only thought I would read something like that in a script for the old Car 54, Where Are You? series.  Meanwhile, I'm fairly sure the assault victims and unsolved murder victims  wished you applied the  same work ethic to solving their cases as you did to planning and executing this juvenile act.  Actually, they'd want better, because you guys got caught.


Reblogged from NewsFeed:
(NEWTON, Mass.) — Massachusetts police responding to reports of teenagers tossing eggs at a house last month got quite a surprise when they tracked down the suspects.
A department spokesman tells the MetroWest Daily News the three people who egged the house in Framingham early Dec. 11 were fellow law enforcement officers serving with the Newton police. They were off duty at the time.

Making sure that Massachusetts passes an anti-trafficking bill on October 25 .

The Massachusetts International Justice Advocacy Group has organized a call-in event and is looking for Bay Staters (people who live in Massachusetts) to participate in it.

On OCT 25, join fellow MA abolitionists and let your MA State Representative know that you want to see a strong anti-trafficking bill passed in MA as soon as possible!

Massachusetts is one of many states that do not have any legislation against anti-trafficking even though it is affected by it.  It is ironic the state  that prides itself on fighting for individual freedom, and abolishing slavery has dragged its feet on passing legislation to save those who are being trafficked.

Why I participate in the Walk For Hunger – anyway I can

The Walk For Hunger is an annual event organized by Project Bread, one of Massachusetts’ premiere organizations working on the frontlines to combat hunger in the state.

It began as a way to raise funds to support Project Bread’s work way back in 1969, by a small but intrepid group.  Almost 43 years later, the Walk For Hunger raises raises hundreds of thousands of  dollars through its walkers, which is no longer a small and intrepid group but a huge and intrepid group.
I count myself as one of the them.

Ever since the day a representative from Project Bread came to my high school and told us about hunger in Massachusetts and how we mere high school students could take action to help in the fight against it, I’ve walked all 20 miles, collected money, volunteered with registration and spread the word about the work that Project Bread and other organizations that fight hunger.

It never gets old for me, though at times it can be hard.

I hate that while we have made strides in how we deliver food to people in need and that we are being more nutritionally responsible to those who receive that food, the demand increases every year.
I hate that the more people try to get ahead, the more people have to decide between food and shelter, let alone food and dreams.

Nevertheless, the fight goes on and I am committed to it.  We are all just one job, one wage cut, one medical expense, one catastrophic event away from hunger.

Please give to Project Bread to support it’s work to make sure that residents in Massachusetts of all walks of life are little less hungry today than they were yesterday:

Who Knew?

Who knew that Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, the late matriarch of the oft-mentioned Kennedy clan , had a drink named after her, much less one that contains vodka.
