  • Create a Virtual Credit Card

    Online Shopping

    Have you ever been caught by a service that wants to “auto-bill” your credit card after a trial period or a vender that wants to renew a purchase when you only wanted the initial purchase?

    The solution is privacy.com

    The service creates a specific credit card number for a specific purchase. You never use your own credit cards. Once you make the purchase using this “new” credit cards number, you have the option to delete the card so that it can never be billed again after the initial purchase. Your account is linked to your checking account which is never exposed to the merchants you are dealing with. You are also required to have a SMS text message enabled cell phone.

    The Personal Service is forever FREE when creating up to 12 cards per month. For those requiring more, there are other options for creating paid accounts.

  • Students: Know Your Rights When Demonstrating




  • US Citizens Demand Common Sense Gun Laws

    Gun Control
    You must VOTE OUT those who are controlled by MONEY rather than Common Sense

    Beginning with:

    • We need to ban automatic weapons. Raising the age isn’t good enough.
    • We need to ban bump stocks and similar accessories.
    • We need to pass universal background checks and close the gun show loophole.
    • We need to make sure those with a history of violent crimes cannot get their hands on a gun.

    This DOES NOT interfere with any law abiding sane citizens’ Second Amendment rights.

    Money from the gun lobby to your political representatives.  Who says this doesn’t revolve around money?  It IS all about money. [1]

  • Students: Know Your Rights

    Bullhorn - DemonstrationFrom the ACLU website and email newsletter:

    Students around the country are turning last week’s heartbreaking school shooting in Parkland, Florida into an inspiring push for change. In addition to grieving the lives of 17 classmates, students have met with the President, spoken their minds to Members of Congress, and taken to the streets and the internet. This is an incredible example of what people power looks like – what the First Amendment feels like in practice.

    In the past few days, we’ve heard from students, parents, and teachers asking what students’ rights are – and whether schools can discipline students for speaking out.

    Plans for coordinated student walkouts have been making national news and have already spurred disciplinary threats from some school administrators. That’s why we think it’s so important that everyone learns about their rights. [1]

    Click Here for information about the Thursday, March 1, 2018, 8pm ET, phone call.

    You’ll hear from student leaders and members of the ACLU legal team, like me, on our constitutional right to free speech and expression, and what it means for students who want to speak out. We’ll also share some details on how to report any possible First Amendment violations so that our team can track what’s going on around the country.

    We’re inspired by the leadership and courage that students across the country have shown in response to the tragic shooting at Stoneman High School.

    Whether you’re a young person or a parent, teacher, school staff or ally, we hope you’ll join us to learn about students’ rights. [1]
