U.S, Businesses Say "The Unemployed Will Not Be Considered For Employment"

Click to read full story at Huffington Post.com

Still waiting for a response to the 300 resumés you sent out last month? Bad news: Some companies are ignoring all unemployed applicants.

In a current job posting on The People Place, a job recruiting website for the telecommunications, aerospace/defense and engineering industries, an anonymous electronics company in Angleton, Texas, advertises for a "Quality Engineer." Qualifications for the job are the usual: computer skills, oral and written communication skills, light to moderate lifting. But red print at the bottom of the ad says, "Client will not consider/review anyone NOT currently employed regardless of the reason."

In a nearly identical job posting for the same position on the Benchmark Electronics website, the red print is missing. But a human resources representative for the company confirmed to HuffPost that the The People Place ad accurately reflects the company's recruitment policies.

"It's our preference that they currently be employed," he said. "We typically go after people that are happy where they are and then tell them about the opportunities here. We do get a lot of applications blindly from people who are currently unemployed -- with the economy being what it is, we've had a lot of people contact us that don't have the skill sets we want, so we try to minimize the amount of time we spent on that and try to rifle-shoot the folks we're interested in."

There are about 5.5 people looking for work for every job available, according to the latest data from the Labor Department.

Sony Ericsson, a global phone manufacturer that recently announced that it would be bringing 180 new jobs to the Buckhead, Ga. area, also recently posted an ad for a marketing position on The People Place. The add specified: "NO UNEMPLOYED CANDIDATES WILL BE CONSIDERED AT ALL." When asked about the ad, a spokeswoman said, "This was a mistake, and once it was noticed it was removed."

Ads asking the unemployed not to apply are easy to find. A Craigslist ad for assistant restaurant managers in Edgewater, N.J. specifies, "Must be currently employed." Another job posting for a tax manager at an unnamed "top 25 CPA firm" in New York City contains the same line in all caps.

A Company's choice to ignore unemployed applicants and recycle the current workforce ignores the effect of the recession on millions of highly-qualified workers and could prolong the unemployment crisis, said Judy Conti, federal advocacy coordinator for the National Employment Law Project.

"In the current economy, where millions of people have lost their jobs through absolutely no fault of their own, I find it beyond unconscionable that any employer would not consider unemployed workers for current job openings," she said. "Not only are these employers short-sighted in their search for the best qualified workers, but they are clearly not good corporate citizens of the communities in which they work. Increasingly, politicians and policy makers are trying to blame the unemployed for their condition, and to see this shameful propaganda trickle down to hiring decisions is truly sad and despicable."

There is no law prohibiting discrimination against the unemployed, though advocates said the practice could be illegal if it had a "disparate impact" on minority groups.

Comedy Central's Persecution of the Christian Faith

A group of prominent conservatives spoke out Thursday against an animated series that Viacom's Comedy Central is developing called “JC,” saying it was a “glaring double standard where religious matters are concerned.”

The show will "depict Jesus living in New York City trying to escape his father’s enormous shadow," Comedy Central said in a press release. In the show God is "an apathetic man who would rather play video games than listen to his son talk about his new life. JC is a playful take on religion and society with a sprinkle of dumb.”

To highlight the ways in which Comedy Central has shown a lack of respect toward Christians over the years, the Media Research Center compiled a montage of clips from several shows on the network. One of the snippets shows Buddha snorting lines of cocaine while complaining to Jesus that he watches too much pornography. Another has actress and comedian Sarah Silverman in bed with “God.”



Brent Bozell, president of the Media Research Center and member of the group calling itself Citizens Against Religious Bigotry (CARB), said: “On the one hand [Comedy Central] has a policy where it won’t do anything that in the slightest way might be offensive to Muslims… But on the other hand for years it has shown a desire to mock and ridicule Jesus Christ and Christians and God the Father while they’re at it.”

Deja'vu Oil Spill 30 years later

In 1979 there was a oil spill in the gulf of mexico almost identical to the one we are dealing with now. The similarities are frightening, and even the different ideas and techniques they are using to try and stop stop the oil spill are identical those ideas used over 30 yeas ago that didn't work then and they aren't working now. So how come over 30 years later after BP has said they are more technologically advanced are we still doing things the way they were done in 1979?

As the reporter for MSNBC said, the only advancement Oil Companies have made is that they can now drill to deeper depths nothing more.

Cat Saves Woman From Pit Bull Attack

When I saw This video I had to share it. I had a calico cat named TC when I was a little girl TC was born in Kentucky on my Great Grandma's farm. My Grandpa brought her back to Ohio where we live TC was pretty wild and always did have a wild streak in her. But she was the best cat I ever had. And watching this story about this calico cat saving its' owners life brought back memories of my cat.

TC lived to be 19 years old in human years and died of old age. I have not had another cat that ever lived that long or was that smart but she was my little companion. I remember when I was in school she also knew what time the school bus would drop me off and there she would be waiting for me and my sister to meet us. TC is sorely missed but it is great to remember the good times that I had with her.

I am sure this woman will never forget her cat either after this event. Whoever said animals don't have feelings was completely wrong!

Note: If you are wondering what the initials TC Stand for...They really stand for nothing. TC was just what we called her but sometimes I would tell people they stood for "Top Cat" as a joke.

Assistant State Attorney/Army Veteran Fired For Speaking At Tea Party Rallies

Former Live Oak prosecutor KrisAnne Hall

When an assistant state attorney in Florida spoke at several tea-party rallies about her beliefs and the Constitution, her boss, a prominent Democrat, fired her – but now protesters are taking to the streets to get her job back.

Former Live Oak prosecutor KrisAnne Hall, was ousted May 24 by Democrat Robert "Skip" Jarvis, state attorney for the Third Judicial Circuit of Florida, after he said she refused to stop speaking at tea-party rallies, on the radio and to the Suwannee County Republican Executive Committee.

Hall, a 40-year-old mother and U.S. Army veteran who describes herself as a "constitutional originalist" and "fan of American Revolutionary history," sought an injunction in federal court to allow her to continue speaking. Three days later, Jarvis received the motion and fired her. Now Hall is suing, claiming her First Amendment rights have been violated.

"I shouldn't have to trade my constitutional rights for a paycheck," she told Florida's Fox 30 News. "If we don't learn why we have the Constitution that we have, we are doomed to repeat the history that brought it to us."

Tea partiers rally for fired prosecutor

The North Central Florida 9/12 Project called an 11 a.m. "free speech" rally outside Jarvis' office in Live Oak, telling tea-party protesters to "bring your signs and let people know that you are standing up for our constitutionally guaranteed right of freedom of speech."

Hall spoke to WND while the rally was taking place.

"There are about 100 people," she said. "I'm really impressed because that's good for our little town. They've come from as far as Tallahassee."

According to her request for an injunction, Hall had made an appearance on a local radio program and "addressed a variety of issues of public concern, including constitutional originalism, the legal dispute between the State of Florida and the federal government over the recent national health care bill and the threat posed by large federal budget deficits."

The Gainesville Tea Party released a copy of Hall's April speech to its group, noting that she spoke about the Constitution, the Founding Fathers and the importance of informing and educating oneself.

Hall claims she didn't discuss cases handled by the state's attorney's office during her speaking engagements, and she was introduced only as an attorney with expertise in constitutional matters. Hall also explained that she spoke at the events on her own time as a private citizen – not an employee of the state's attorney's office.

"I never said anything bad about my office," she told WND. "I never said anything bad about my boss. I never talked about my cases."

She added, "When I stand up to speak, I don't consider myself a motivational speaker. I consider myself a teacher. That's why I was asked to come and speak on the Constitution, based on the perspective of our Founding Fathers and blend it with current events. I think that's what my speeches did."

Disciplinary action for speaking at tea parties

Hall is not the first person to face disciplinary action for speaking at tea-party events. The Rapid City Journal reported KOTA-TV anchorman Shad Olson was suspended last month with pay after he appeared as a featured speaker at a tea-party rally in South Dakota.

Olson's supervisors called his appearance "an ethical lapse" and took him off the air.

Olson said he spoke at the event because "I want people to fall back in love with their country based on what the founding principles are and the legacy left by the people who fought and bled and died to establish America on this continent."

Olson was not fired, but he submitted his resignation following the incident. He said he plans to host a radio talk show and work as a paid political consultant.

"I've handed in my resignation," he said. "In the wake of everything that happened, I just kind of felt it was time to do something else. I'm done as of today."

When did exercising our Rights of Freedom of Speech become an excuse for employers to fire someone? How can someone fire you for standing up for freedom and our Constitution?

We follow the Tea Party Movement but are not involved with it. We believe that those who are apart of the Tea Party Movement have the right to make their voices heard and express their concerns about the road our Country is currently heading down.

I thought we were trying to stop the unemployment rate in America not help raise it by firing people without cause just because they share their thoughts and concerns about our Government and Country.

In the past 2 years we have covered more stories of people being fired because they stood for values and morals.

We covered a story about a young man who was fired from Home Depot because he wore a tiny little button pin on his vest that said "One Nation Under God". (to read this article type "Home Depot" in the search bar above)

These are just 2 examples of what is going on in our Country and we must fight to stop this injustice!

Judge Rules It Unconstitutional To Have Graduation Ceremony In Church

Click to read full story from Fox News

A Connecticut School District's showdown with the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State has come to end -- at least for a year.

With the clock ticking, the Enfield School Board voted 5-4 Thursday night not to appeal a preliminary injunction by U.S. District Judge Janet Hall, who ruled Monday that it was unconstitutional for the district's two high schools to hold their commencement ceremonies at a church.

The vote means the schools will hold their 2010 graduation ceremonies on school grounds.

"We're quite pleased about the vote," said Alex Luchenitser, senior litigation counsel for Americans United for Separation of Church and State. "The board did the right thing to help the students in the community put this behind them. It allows the schools and the principals to finalize graduation instead having plans up in the air. We want to assure every student can enjoy the graduation without it becoming very divisive.”

But his opponent in the case was far from pleased with the school board's vote.

"I was shocked. I was stunned," said Vincent McCarthy, the attorney with the American Center for Law and Justice. "I thought the decision was pro forma. We had a good chance."

School Board Chairman Greg Stokes was also surprised. Up until the start of Thursday night's meeting, he'd gotten assurances from five board members that they would vote for the appeal.

"The plan was to vote to appeal then work on the backup plan just in case," Stokes said. "I don't know what happened."

Jordan Sekulow, an attorney with the Center for Law and Justice, had felt all along that the case was winnable and that Judge Hall did not consider two similar cases that ruled in favor of the school districts. "This kind of case can go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court where it impacts every school district, and that's why it's important," Sekulow said.

Enfield was one of five school districts in Connecticut that planned to hold commencement ceremonies for its high schools at First Cathedral, a megachurch in Bloomfield with state-of-the-art facilities, plenty of legroom and ample parking.

School Board president Greg Stokes says, "When they (the school board) narrowed it down, we came to conclusion as a board that First Cathedral was the right place for the right price.... one-stop shopping."

Stokes said the Enfield football field was off limits because the newly installed Astroturf required a protective covering. (Failure to protect the turf would nullify its warranty.) The small gym would allow only two tickets per students, and there's no air conditioning -- a cause for concern in late June. But now that the board has decided not to appeal, the gym will be the likely site.

Enfield wasn't the only school district singing the praises of First Cathedral.

"We had a great ceremony there," said Mary Alice Dwyer Hughes, chairwoman of the East Hartford School Board. She said the parents loved it and "the kids got a great ceremony."

Last fall the ACLU sent out letters to each of the five districts telling them that if they continued with plans to hold graduations at the church, they would be in violation of the Constitution's establishment clause and that the ACLU would take legal action.

Four of the schools heeded the warning and dropped their plans. Enfield, which has two high schools, stayed the course -- but only after being assured by the Center for Law and Justice that it would handle the legal costs.

On Thursday, the Enfield board voted not to appeal because it wanted to give the students certainty about the location of their commencement. The decision was met by loud boos and jeers from parents and students who packed the meeting.

Must be nice to be the ACLU and American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State. All they have to do is make complaints and sue to stop those trying to give these children a nice graduation at a church. A church that has been used many times by many schools because they don't have the accommodations at the school. So now hundreds of people will be crammed into a small gymnasium with no air conditioning in Summer to see their children graduate from high school. I think those on the ACLU and American Civil Liberties Union should be forced to sit in that Gym in the squelching heat and cramped space to see how their hard work and persecution of others has turned out.

I think it should be up to the school and graduates where they hold the graduation and if they want to hold it in a church, or any other place let them do it. All the ACLU and American Civil Liberties is, is a bunch of Communist Marxists that will stop at nothing to take away our rights and liberties until they bully and scare everyone into submission and silence.

They stand behind an amendment that was placed into our Laws after the Constitution was written. How can an amendment over write what our Forefathers set into place over 200 years ago? And they said that the Constitution should not be tampered with or changed in anyway.

When did the rights and voices of the people not matter anymore in this country?

So the unemployment rate really isn't dropping like the Government and the Mainstream Media is telling us nearly everyday. Those who are losing their jobs aren't being given unemployment benefits so they don't have to count them and are trying to hide how bad the unemployment rate in America really is. But we are thankful for all those who are starting to come forward and exposing the U.S Government for who they really are and what they are doing.

There are so many U.S Census Article we have shared and also have written if you want to read those just type in U.S Census in the search bar above and be educated as to what is REALLY Going on with the U.S Census.

So many people in their 70's and older have personally told us that they have never seen so many problems with a Census Count EVER in the history that they have taken part of a Census Count for the U.S. They believe like us that there is some very shady people running this whole thing and they need to be kicked out. So lets start at the top and get rid of our current President....Who's with us?

Judge Rules Student Can Wear Rosary To School

Click to read full story from ChristianPost.com

A federal judge issued permission Tuesday to allow a 7th grader who was suspended for wearing a rosary to return to school.

U.S. District Court Judge Lawrence Kahn issued a Temporary Restraining Order to the school district that allows 13-year-old Raymond Hosier to resume classes and wear the rosary to school starting Wednesday.

The American Center for Law and Justice, which represented Raymond, had only filed the federal lawsuit against the Schenectady City School District Tuesday morning.

“We’re delighted that Raymond can now return to school with his rosary in place,” said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ. “This is an important first step in the legal process in what we believe will ultimately result in the federal district court determining that the punishment inflicted by the school district by suspending Raymond for wearing a rosary not only was wrong, but violated his constitutionally-protected rights of free speech and free exercise of religion.”

Raymond had been wearing the rosary since September 2009 to honor the memory of an older brother who died in a bike accident with the same rosary in his hand. School officials argued that the rosary violated the school district’s dress code policy and that it falls under gang-related symbols.

But for months Raymond wore the rosary without causing any disturbances, ACLJ attorneys pointed out. In May, however, he was suspended multiple times for wearing the beaded religious symbol. Authorities at Oneida Middle School asked Raymond to tuck the rosary inside his shirt, but he refused and was subsequently suspended.

In the complaint, ACLJ asserted that Raymond is not a member of any criminal gang and does not wear the rosary to promote gang membership or violence.

The ACLJ wants the court to declare the disciplinary actions by school officials against Raymond unconstitutional. It also wants the court to rule that the school’s dress code policy is unconstitutional and to prevent it from being used to punish other students in the future.

A court hearing date for the case is set for June 11.

BP Continues in Fight to Stop Oil Spill

Click to read full story from Fox News

Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said Tuesday that BP is in the middle of its first major pipe cut in the company's latest bid to contain the oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico.

Allen, the national incident commander, said it could be as many as three days before oil can be contained and siphoned to the surface. BP has another major cut to do before a cap can be lowered on to the leak.

It's the company's latest attempt to contain the leak. The effort to plug the spill failed over the weekend and the best chance to stop the gusher is now at least two months away.

Robot submarines carried equipment and cut small pipes at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico on Monday to prepare to place a new containment valve over the blown-out well this week, while BP crews began working on yet another containment plan that could be added after the cut-and-cap effort.

The giant British oil company could begin cutting through the riser that's spewing oil and gas into the Gulf as soon as Wednesday, after which they will attempt to place the cap-like containment device that would siphon the mixture to the surface.

In a new plan announced Monday, BP said that after it places the containment valve over the leaking riser, it plans to connect a pipe to a separate opening on the blowout preventer at the blown-out well to suck oil to the surface. The opening is the same one they used to inject mud during the failed top kill procedure over the weekend, and the new effort will re-use some of the machinery left on the ocean floor.

BP said in a news release that the new maneuver would supplement the cut-and-cap procedure and help keep more oil from leaking into the gulf. That mission could start in mid-June.

In another step announced Monday, BP said it was also working on building a sturdier, free-standing pipe to carry oil from its containment efforts toward the surface. This new free-standing pipe would end about 300 feet (90 meters) below the surface, and a flexible hose would carry the oil the rest of the way to a surface ship. It's intended to give BP a way to disconnect its containment pipes in the event of a hurricane, and reconnect them after a storm.

BP said the construction of the free-standing riser, which crews could begin in late June or early July, would provide a "more permanent" way to capture the oil and gas as crews work to finish a pair of relief wells expected to plug the gusher for good. The first of the wells isn't expected to be completed before August.

BP didn't return calls seeking further comment on the new plans.

The company has repeatedly failed to stop the leak, which has gushed millions of gallons (liters) of oil into the Gulf of Mexico since an oil rig exploded on April 20, killing 11. The most ambitious attempt, called the "top kill," involved trying to force heavy-mud down the well and then seal it with cement. But BP engineers were forced to call it off Saturday when it failed to suppress the oil and gas oozing to the surface.
