The "Moral Monday Movement" is back in a big way.  North Carolina NAACP President William Barber led a massive group Saturday morning through downtown Raleigh in the "Historic Thousands on Jones Street," now turned "Moral March on Raleigh."

It was part of their continuing fight against the Republican led legislature.

The march follows the 13 Moral Mondays seen in Raleigh over the summer, and then several more that followed throughout the state. Now it is back, fusing with the annual "HK on J" march.

A week before the botched launch of Florida’s new unemployment benefits website, state senators grilled an agency chief and heard no warning about the chaos to come.

The CONNECT project was well managed and extensive testing showed system failure was unlikely, said Tom Clendenning, director of the Department of Economic Opportunity’s workforce services.

“This has been carefully planned out,” Clendenning said, smiling broadly during an Oct. 9 Senate hearing. “You can never be too 100 percent bulletproof, so we do have a contingency if in fact the new system isn’t ready.”

A sister of the women found shot to death in the basement of the recently purchased East Liberty home they shared said this morning that the family was still trying to make sense of the tragic development.

"Right this minute we're still trying to figure out what happened," said Mary Wolfe, a sibling of Susan Wolfe and Sarah Wolfe and a Democratic state representative in Iowa.

An Amish couple who are in hiding with their daughter plan to pursue their legal arguments to make healthcare decisions for her, even if judges allow a court-appointed guardian to withdraw from a campaign to put her through cancer treatments.

Andy and Anna Hershberger are appealing a court decision that allowed the guardian to step in. The Amish couple said they were not objecting to the treatment for religious reasons but because they believe the chemotherapy was killing 11-year-old Sarah. Meanwhile, the guardian says she cannot contact the family and has asked to withdraw from the case.

In a major victory for same-sex marriage rights, the Justice Department will soon grant married gay and lesbian couples the same rights in legal matters as other married couples.

The new policy, which will be announced by Attorney General Eric Holder on Saturday evening in New York, marks the latest step by the Obama administration to extend rights to same-sex couples that are afforded to married, heterosexual couples.

"In every courthouse, in every proceeding and in every place where a member of the Department of Justice stands on behalf of the United States, they will strive to ensure that same-sex marriages receive the same privileges, protections and rights as opposite-sex marriages under federal law," Holder said in prepared remarks to the Human Rights Campaign, an advocacy group that works on behalf of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equal rights.

The new gluten-free shortbread cookies should have been the most controversial part of the 2014 Girl Scout cookie campaign.

Instead, pro-life groups across the country have banded together to launch CookieCott 2014, a boycott of Thin Mints, Tagalongs and other tasty pastries because the Girl Scout’s national leadership “continues to show its attachment to pro-abortion leaders and organizations.”
