    Can you believe this Hispanics claim racial profiling yet Hispanics only got 24 tickets out of 166 in June ?
    Question:
    ALEXANDER -- Hispanic drivers ticketed for having rosaries on their mirrors or small flags on their windows have sued town officials, alleging police targeted them and had their cars towed by a company that gives a portion of its profits back to the city. Alexander Mayor Shirley Johnson says allegations of racial profiling won't stand up. Of 166 tickets issued in June, only 24 were given to Hispanics, she said. Arnoldo Giron, a native of Guatemala, said Officer Tommy Leath cited him for driving with an obstructed view after noticing a rosary dangling from his rear view mirror. Ruben Duarte, also cited by Leath, had small Mexican and Guatemalan flags on his rear window. Leath also said Edvin Giron's tree-shaped air freshener posed a hazard. "I don't think they have probable cause to stop them at all. I think he's targeting Hispanics," said lawyer Reggie Koch, a former police officer who is seeking class-action status in federal court. Koch's suit also claims that, while Arnoldo Giron had a valid driver's licenses from Guatemala, Leath cited him for driving under a suspended Arkansas license, which carries a stiffer penalty than driving without any license at all.http://www.nwaonline.net/articles/2007/07/07/news/070707ardwh .txt This has been going on since the sixties, maybe even the fifties. You used to get a ticket for fuzzy dice on the rear view mirror. This is where the law came from. It was originally targeted at the fuzzy dice. It goes back to the days when cops started ticketing for loud mufflers, lack of fenders, and front bumpers too low to the ground. It was a response to the greasers and the hotrodders and the drag racers. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    Answer:
    Yea for the cops, I hope they keep giving them tickets. Anything hanging from a rear view mirror is blocking the view , somewhat. Apparently that was a illegal, and of course they are going to yell, profiling. About time cops are give the right to stop any car that looks like it's occupants are illegals. If they love their country so much , they fly their Mexican flags and put the decals of Mexico on the cars, then they need to be back in the country they love.... Mexico. I say Goodbye and go home!! who cares, stop them all, and check their legal status.

    Answer:
    1) Abolishonists belieived slavery was wrong and wanted to do away with the practice. Most well known was probably John Brown who led a raid to try to get slaves to revolt on their owners.

    Answer:
    Jehovah's Witnesses believe that their worship is a restoration of biblical Christianity, as practiced by the apostles and first century Christians. They recognize Christ himself (and the apostles to a much lesser extent) as the "foundation" of true Christian worship. Of course, the bible teaches that God Himself is the "builder". .. ..(Isaiah 28:16) Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Here I am laying as a foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, the precious corner of a sure foundation. .. ..(Acts 4:10-11) Jesus Christ the Nazarene... This is ‘the stone that was treated by you builders as of no account that has become the head of the corner.’ .. ..(Revelation 21:14) The wall of the city also had twelve foundation stones, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. .. ..(Hebrews 11:10) the city having real foundations, the builder and maker of which city is God. In modern times, Jehovah's Witnesses have always acknowledged that Charles Russell had a central role in re-establishing true Christianity in the 1870's. Yet Witnesses have never pretended to be followers of Charles Russell any more than they pretended to be followers of Paul or Apollos or Cephas or of ANYONE but Christ Jesus. When seven million Jehovah's Witnesses preach from door to door each month, they work to preach the "good news about the Christ". .. ..(1 Corinthians 1:12-17) What I mean is this, that each one of you says: “I belong to Paul,” “But I to Apollos,” “But I to Cephas,” ...Paul was not impaled for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? ...Christ dispatched me, not to go baptizing, but to go declaring the good news

    Answer:
    Competely agree with you. What would be a better way to bring about change than get rid of all the people who bogged down the system for so many years? All they do is bicker and complain and nothing ever gets done. We need people who are willing to talk honestly about issues and then come up with decisions that will work for all sides. Get rid of all the interest groups who only care about their own intrest and start caring about America as a whole.

    Do you have a Margaret Rodden b.1845 TN in your family tree?
    Question:
    I'm having trouble verifying the parents of my Margaret Rodden b. 1845, TN. Everything points to Upton Alexander Rodden and Cassandra Clark as her parents, but I've yet to find anything proving that their daughter Margaret is actually my Margaret. My Margaret was married to Joseph H. Brandon in Illinois in 1847. They are both buried in Clay County, Arkansas. If these folks are part of your tree, can you share your sources with me? I have a subscription to ancestry.com, so I've searched all the records available there and contacted everyone that has her on their tree. Nobody has a source other than hearsay to confirm her parentage. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Edit: Wendy, you're right about the marriage, it was 1867.

    Answer:
    Margaret lives with parents Upton and Cassandra in Union co, Illinois in 1860, which is same county that she and Joseph live in, in 1880. Looks fair to me. Have you searched for Upton or Cassandra's death, perhaps probate? Marriage record should be in that county also, but it would have to be 1867, not 1847. Both census records are on ancestry. 1880 census shows her parents both born NC which also matches 1860.
