NEW POLL OVERVIEW:<br />
----------------------------<br />
<br />
It seems to be a common practice today by some employers to do online search of potential employees to see what they have on their social media pages before they make a hiring decision regarding the applicant.<br />
<br />
It is estimated that about 20 percent of companies are secretly scanning online profiles before they interview applicants. What they often find is shocking &mdash; including profiles that detail drug use, orgies and illegal behavior.<br />
<br />
Employers feel that it gives a &quot;More Accurate</span><span style="font-size: larger;">&quot;</span><span style="font-size: larger;"> picture of the person than a person who shows up at an interview where their clothing is meticulous and they look like the perfect candidate, when in actuality the person that is sitting there being interviewed is almost entirely different than the person posting on their website.<br />
<br />
Many employers admit they've even learned how to access profiles applicants think are </span><span style="font-size: larger;">&quot;</span><span style="font-size: larger;">private</span><span style="font-size: larger;">&quot;</span><span style="font-size: larger;"> &mdash; and they're surprised by how many people don</span><span style="font-size: larger;">'</span><span style="font-size: larger;">t care if everyone knows everything about them.<br />

Comment #1<br />
<br />
Voting and the UN<br />
<br />
1. I hope that they are laughed out of the U.N.<br />
<br />
2. I'm curious whether anyone has done a survey of voting requirements in other countries, especially the major countries at the U.N.<br />
<br />
3. Does anyone know whether they have standing to approach the U.N.?<br />
<br />
4. It's interesting that they are going to the U.N. It was just last week that a video showed Congressman Sessions asking questions of Secretary Panetta concerning the procedure that the Department of Defense follows in going to war. This is a must see video. Panetta indicated that they seek permission from international bodies (such as the U.N. or NATO). Congressman Sessions was appalled and continued to question Panetta about the Constitution and the need to ask permission from Congress (not simply come to inform Congress after obtaining </span><span style="font-size: larger;">&quot;</span><span style="font-size: larger;">permission from some international. We have a real problem on our hands in that the 0bama administration continues to operate in some ad hoc fashion rather than according to our Constitution and laws.<br />

I present pictured ID when I vote. I have also had my identity stolen once. ID is a good thing. Shame on the NAACP for presenting a picture of America that is not true. We all should prove citizenship and have identification. Repeal of these laws protect criminals and illegal aliens. What have we become?<br />
