After total lottery income nationwide fell for the first time in more than a decade in 2009, states redoubled their efforts to attract more players to support educational and environmental programs and help fill the gap from slumping tax revenue.

FREEDOM FOR AYN [Digg]

Digg — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 11:32:44 PST

DEDICATED to a loving Dad and a little 9 year old girl named Ayn who was abducted from school by Child Protective Services in British Columbia, Canada on June 16, 2011 and has remained in custody, heavily drugged. Her parents and brothers (still at home) committed no crime. Ayn's only crime is that she is autistic. There are far too many similar stories happening globally and we all need to be very concerned; it could be a story of someone you love. Help us support her family and tell her story.

The potential effects of both PROTECT IP and the E-PARASITES legislations have been the subject of intense speculation in recent times.
