Women scientists made up 25% of the Pluto fly-by New Horizon team. Make sure you share this, because erasing women’s achievements in science and history is a tradition. Happens every day.
WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO: Recognize the Klu Klux Klan as a domestic terrorist organization & make their eradication a Homeland Security priority.
The North Carolina based Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which calls itself the “largest Klan in America, will be speaking outside the North Carolina State House. The groups leader, Robert Jones, has stated that he believes Dylann Roof “was heading in the right direction.” And, “He should have actually aimed at the African-American gang-bangers”
The KKK has been responsible for far too many deaths and too much violence against American citizens in our country’s history. They are terrorists, plain and simple. The White House needs to declare them as such and deny them the legitimacy they currently appreciate. There is no excuse to let them organize. Hate speech should not be protected speech. Endorsements of violence are terrorism.

“President Obama honored a very special
veteran [in the White House Oval Office today]: 110-year-old Emma Didlake. A
resident of Detroit, Didlake is believed to be the nation’s oldest veteran.
“We are so
grateful that she is here with us today… She is a ‘great reminder not only of the
sacrifices the Greatest Generation made.’ Obama said, but also the ‘trailblazing’
by women and African-American veterans.
Didlake
‘was a Private during the course of her service and her decorations include the
Women’s Army Corps Service Medal, American
Campaign Medal, and World War
II Victory Medal,’ the White House said in a statement.” David
Jackson, USA Today
“Known to family as ‘Big Mama,’ Didlake
was a 38-year-old wife and mother of five when she ‘wanted to do something different’
and signed up for the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps in 1943, said her granddaughter,
Marilyn Horne. She served stateside for about seven months during the war, as a
private and driver.
“After
she was discharged, she and her family moved to Detroit in 1944 – and she quickly
joined the local NAACP chapter. She marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1963 and received a lifetime achievement
award two years ago from the chapter.” Jeff Karoub, The Associated Press
