Respect
All We're Asking Is For a Little Respect
We talk a lot about respect on DearSugar, so today's National Respect Day caught my eye. The RESPECT! Campaign is adding more meaning to this important word by educating people about domestic violence.
Who I respect...
I respect my older brother, Matthew. He has taught me that the greatest lessons in life are often learned through the hard road and he always inspires me to stay true to myself. Matthew goes beyond what’s expected of him.
Tell us who you RESPECT!
Tomorrow, October 1st, kicks off Domestic Violence Awareness month! The RESPECT! Campaign believes that together we will build a new kind of society - one that encourages decency and respect.Jay-Z Wants Respect For Hip Hop

ABC News' Jonathan Karl reports: What does it take to get a wavering senator to vote for health care reform? Here’s a case study. On page 432 of the Reid bill, there is a section increasing federal Medicaid subsidies for “certain states recovering from a major disaster.” The section spends two pages defining which “states” would qualify, saying, among other things, that it would be states that “during the preceding 7 fiscal years” have been declared a “major disaster area.” I am told the section applies to exactly one state: Louisiana, the home of moderate Democrat Mary Landrieu, who has been playing hard to get on the health care bill.Explaining the African Vote: Your Stimulus $ at work
