Today's Immigration Battle - Corporatists vs. Racists (and Labor is Left Behind)
Current rating: 0
29 Mar 2006
Every nation has an obligation to limit immigration to a number that will not dilute its workforce, but will maintain a stable middle class - if it wants to have a stable democracy. This has nothing to do with race, national origin, or language (visit Switzerland with it's ethnic- and language-dived areas!), and everything to do with economics.

Without a middle class, any democracy is doomed. And without labor having - through control of labor availability - power in relative balance to capital/management, no middle class can emerge. America's early labor leaders did not die to increase the labor pool for the Robber Barons or the Walton family - they died fighting to give control of it to the workers of their era and in the hopes that we would continue to hold it - and infect other nations with the same idea of democracy and a stable middle class.

We are a republic; we don't want a king. Laws govern our nation, not men.. America doesn't want a president who believes "I am the law." A coalition of the unwilling is underway who see a breach of the constitution in the monitoring practices.

This meeting is for Registered Student organizations at the University of Illinois. However, given the overlap and solidarity between campus and city in our community, I'm pretty certain they would not mind anyone who helps make connections into the community itself.

Major Church Groups Back Undocumented Workers
Current rating: 0
28 Mar 2006
"Churches all over America are standing up to decry this legislation because it has largely been pushed through without the usual kind of public input," said Lucas Guttentag, director of the Immigrants Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union. "There are all kinds of radical consequences being written into the law that, although ostensibly are not aimed at churches, leave these kinds of groups hugely vulnerable, and [those consequences] need to be carefully looked at," he said.

Death Sentence for change of faith: A violation of Human Rights
Current rating: 0
28 Mar 2006
No religious leader should be given right to control the freedom of thought & religious freedom of a person. It is extreme personal affair, to have a faith in a religion or a sector to accept a religion or not. If any religious leader or a religionist thinks it as an insult to him, then he must think about the basic reasons for this change of religion of the person. The religious leaders must try to solve the problems responsible behind the curtain that compel a person to leave his religion & be attracted by the other religion. It is more important than to declare a death sentence or to burn alive.

THE AIPAC CASE: "UNCHARTED WATERS"
Current rating: 0
28 Mar 2006
This is the first case in which the government has sought to
criminalize the unauthorized receipt of classified information by
non-governmental persons who do not hold security clearances.

Anything other than a dismissal of the charges would mark a dramatic
shift in national security law and a significant reduction in First
Amendment protections.
