For the first time in my life, I believe it. 2012 IS the most important election we have faced. Anger and frustration toward elected officials reigns. We face extreme budgetary challenges as a state and nation. Anytime you express policy differences you are immediately charged with being anti-American. There is no focus on finding solutions to problems. 2012 is pivotal in determining whether the state we leave our children is better or worse than in the past. <br /><p><a href="http://www.orangepolitics.com/2011/12/2012-my-view-marlowe-foster-ca">read more</a></p> http://www.orangepolitics.com/2011/12/2012-my-view-marlowe-foster-ca#comments 2012 Elections Public Health & Safety Racial & Economic Justice Labor Commissioner Marlowe Foster Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:48:27 -0600 Marlowe Foster 6171 at http://www.orangepolitics.com Preserve Rural Orange continues to raise questions about UNC's animal research facility http://www.orangepolitics.com/ruby-sinreich/preserve-rural-orange-continue http://www.orangepolitics.com/ruby-sinreich/preserve-rural-orange-continue#comments Orange County Public Health & Safety UNC Animals Bingham township Preserve Rural Orange Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:59:26 -0600 Ruby Sinreich 6142 at http://www.orangepolitics.com Carrboro Anti-Loitering Ordinance Repealed in Unanimous Decision http://www.orangepolitics.com/2011/11/carrboro-repeals-loitering-ordinance <p>Carrboro’s controversial four-year-old anti-loitering ordinance, which prohibited people from lingering at the intersection of Jones Ferry and Davie roads past 11:00 am, was rescinded in a unanimous decision Tuesday evening at a meeting of the Carrboro Board of Aldermen before a full chamber of community members.<p><a href="http://www.orangepolitics.com/2011/11/carrboro-repeals-loitering-ordinance">read more</a></p> http://www.orangepolitics.com/2011/11/carrboro-repeals-loitering-ordinance#comments Civil Liberties Neighborhoods Public Health & Safety Racial & Economic Justice anti-lingering ordinance anti-loitering ordinance Carrboro Carrboro Board of Aldermen Carrboro Police day laborers El Centro Hispano HRC SOCI 273 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 06:30:46 -0600 Burton Peebles 6132 at http://www.orangepolitics.com Carrboro Apologizes for Yates Building Police Action http://www.orangepolitics.com/2011/11/carrboro-apologizes-yates-action <p>This semester I have served OrangePolitics as a student intern to complete a minimum 30-hour service-learning requirement for a sociology class entitled “Social and Economic Justice.” The course is a capstone requirement for all social and economic justice minors like myself and has allowed my professor the opportunity to chronicle the development of the Occupy movement over the course of the semester. Admittedly, I am privileged. But, having studied the birth and spread of this movement, I was shocked when a local demonstration against corporate hegemony of the wealthiest Americans (unaffiliated directly with the Occupy Chapel Hill demonstrations) took a dramatic turn a little more than a week ago, as a police tactical team of more than 25 officers arrested eight demonstrators in a vacant Franklin Street building.</p><p><a href="http://www.orangepolitics.com/2011/11/carrboro-apologizes-yates-action">read more</a></p> http://www.orangepolitics.com/2011/11/carrboro-apologizes-yates-action#comments Government Media Public Health & Safety Carrboro Carrboro Board of Aldermen Carrboro Police Chapel Hill Police News & Observer SOCI 273 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 15:57:02 -0600 Burton Peebles 6133 at http://www.orangepolitics.com
