Edwin Bonilla

Manassas, VA

My ethnicity is Latino and my race is Meztiso. I don't live in Manassas city. I'm a straight ally. I'm a liberal who votes for the person first and political party second. I'm a supporter of youth rights. To view comments which I type for the Choose Responsibility blog, look for Edwin. I'm a youth rights supporter because ageism is prevalent. This includes the ageist drinking age of 21 and the ageist provisions in the CREDIT CARD Act. I believe in tolerance so I don't use "teen" or "kid" to refer to anyone 18 or over and I don't like to use the word homosexual because the acroynm, LGBT, is more acceptable. I've created lyrics and those lyrics can be viewed at the LyricsMode website. To view those lyrics, type 'Emperors of Destruction' or 'Rebels against Oppression' into the website's search engine. I made up the name of those bands although those bands only exist through the lyrics I have typed.

Make the Call! Stop the Torture of Special Needs Children in Massachusetts

It's cowardice that only one Senator has cosponsored the bill to end torture, it can be called this, at the "therapy" center in Massachusetts. There is no reason to give girls and boys electric shocks or withhold food from them. I have read from supporters of those practices that they do that because they are the only ways to control the girls and boys. This is not true. Those disturbing practices need to end because girls and boys needed to be actually, treated, not tortured.

Bullied high schooler convinces MPAA to change ‘Bully’ rating to “PG-13”

Although the film features intense words which have lead to suicides of LGBT girls and boys, learning to fight homophobia is a better strategy. It's good that "Bully" will receive a PG-13 rating. Youth rights and LGBT rights have come together for the benefit of young LGBT people. I give credit to the many celebrities for supporting this important change on behalf of Katy Butler.

Tell USDA to STOP Using Pink Slime in School Food!

The U.S. is too political, this is how pink slime got approved for schools, so we as people should control the bad effects of being too political.

Harvard University: Please abolish the anti-gay Secret Court of 1920 and grant posthumous honorary degrees to the seven student victims

The petition description is ageism because getting a Bachelor's degree at 23 is not too young so Kaia Stern is an ageist. Using shrewd language in this manner distracts from the purpose of the petition. If I started a petition about this, I would have treated the expelled students in a courteous manner. Harvard University should grant them their Bachelor's degree.

Is the NCAA Putting Student Athletes at Risk?

I don't like bills being named after people so the bill mentioned should be renamed. Bills named after people, especially in this manner, give too much emphasis to the person rather than the bill's purpose. Enterprise shouldn't allow people to rent cars which have been recalled. If the company gives an excuse, then it wouldn't be credible because Hertz supports the bill.
