To: U.S Senate We the undersigned strongly, and adamantly oppose House of Representatives Bill 1955, and Senate Bill 1959 Titled Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorist Act of 2007. This Bill if passed into law considering its loose language, and ambiguous definitions or lack thereof could very easily be used as a tool to diminish or abolish the rights, freedoms, and liberties that we inherently have under the U.S Constitution. This Bill as We The People see it, poses the greatest threat to the Constitution to date. The Bill lacks a definition for “extremist belief system”. It further lacks a definition of “force”. If passed as is, this Bill made Law could leave interpretation to the government as they see fit to interpret. It would give the government the right to target any group as terrorist based or any person as a terrorist. If made law it would give power to the government to breach or completely take away our right of freedom of speech regardless of the section that declares there will be a division set up to ensure our rights are protected. We oppose strongly the proposition of self policing this commission. The ambiguous language in this Bill negates the declaration of insuring our rights , liberties, and freedoms. We the people strongly, and adamantly oppose the language in the Bill regarding the Internet. The Internet is a great means of expression of our freedom of speech, and this avenue must be protected. If this Bill were passed to Law it would give the government the right to censor, restrict or abolish it all together. We the people demand that this Bill be thrown out of the Senate, and dropped. There are sufficient laws, and statues in place to insure groups that should be targeted as terrorist are. They will have the opportunity for due process under the law. Sincerely, THE POOR PEOPLE'S CAMPAIGN INC MR JERRY ROBINSON PRESIDENT

    That Obama thing

    Though it had seemed impossible, Barack Obama appears to offer hope for deep and genuine change in America, writes James Zogby*

    Over the past few weeks, as interest has grown in the 2008 US presidential contest, I've been asked by friends across the Arab world for my opinion on Barack Obama. Could I explain the phenomenon they are seeing on television? Can he win? Here is my response.
     
    Watching Obama since he first burst onto the national scene with his electrifying speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, through his spectacular three-state tour de force last week with Oprah Winfrey, it is clear that the Obama phenomenon requires both reflection and understanding.

    It appears from the excitement he generates that Obama has tapped into a deep vein in the contemporary American psyche. While it is always useful to parse out the positions he has taken on critical issues, and even to weigh the importance of "experience" versus "judgement", or "change" versus "Washington" -- these being the matters discussed by the candidates -- they, alone, do not explain the phenomenon we are witnessing. Something more profound is occurring in this election. And it appears to be wrapped up in the person of Obama himself.

    It was over a year ago that my daughter Sarah spoke to me of her enthusiasm for Obama's still fledgling candidacy. Sarah is a graphic designer and a mother, sensitive and thoughtful about issues of the day. But like many, she grew weary of politics and wary of politicians.

    She had heard Obama speak and was moved by what she described as his authenticity and clarity. He did not appear to her to be typical. His call for a new approach to politics appealed to her. Quite simply, she said, "he gives me hope."

    "Your generation," she continued, "had many such figures," mentioning the Kennedys and Dr King. "We have not. I want to believe he can make a difference."
    Sarah's observations prefigured the themes that the Obama campaign would capture with their ubiquitous signs reading "Change you can believe in" and the simple "Hope" buttons worn by supporters.

    I saw Obama's appeal on display the day he delivered his maiden campaign address before the Democratic National Committee in February of 2007. The other candidates had each delivered their speeches as if cut from the same cloth -- a litany of promises punctuated by a series of applause lines. When Obama's turn came, he began quietly and thoughtfully; delivering a discourse on the cynicism that has infected our politics and the need to awaken the hope necessary for real change.

    As he continued, I looked around the room (which was so quiet you could have heard the proverbial pin drop) and saw something intriguing in the faces of the 600 or so assembled party leaders. Obama was showing respect for them, and they were respectfully listening and reflecting. Interestingly, he used the word "I" a mere handful of times in that address, compared to the more than two dozen times it was used by each of his competitors.

    When he finished, the applause was thunderous.

    Reading Obama's autobiography Dreams From My Father helps, in part, to explain the man and the response he is capable of eliciting. Written at 34 (he is 46 now), more than simply telling his story, Dreams is an exercise in self-discovery. In it, he works through the many issues of his complex life trajectory, discovering the meaning of his identity, the role of family and community, and the legacy he inherited from both his mother and his "absent" father.

    If he appears at peace with himself, self- possessed and able to "ring true" (to borrow the phrase of André Gide) it is because, to a remarkable degree, he is. And it appears that it is that very quality that resonates. Watching him on stage, in a crowd, or engaged in a conversation of substance, he looks at ease, unruffled and comfortable, alternately listening and engaging.

    In the gruelling and sometimes destructive sport of campaign politics, where candidates subject themselves to what is arguably the most brutal of endurance tests (always on call, always needing to be personable and informed, all the while being scrutinised and dissected), Obama appears to remain cool and in control.

    And then there is the matter of race. All of the questions about "will white America vote for him?" or "is he black enough?" point to a single reality, which is that race remains a defining issue in American life.

    But then there was the scene of Obama announcing his candidacy on a bitter cold day in Springfield, Illinois, before an overwhelmingly white audience of thousands who braved the weather to cheer their state's "favourite son". Or Obama and Winfrey one day in Des Moines, Iowa, again before a largely white audience of 18,500, and then the next day before a mixed race audience of 29,500 in Columbia, South Carolina. In both places they generated the same reaction, the same enthusiasm, the same hope.

    To say, as some have, that Obama transcends race, like Tiger Woods, misses the point. Rather, it appears, he embodies the matter of race and helps to reconcile the divide in his person and message.

    Finally, the context is important to consider. After eight largely successful, but embattled and exhausting years, the Clinton administration gave way to George W Bush and seven years of lost opportunities and failed leadership. All of this has left many Americans bitter and cynical. Preying off of fear, anger and division has taken a toll and damaged the spirit of the body politic. Into this arena Obama has issued a call in a different voice -- an appeal to the angels of our better selves coupled with the optimism and conviction that change can come. It is this voice that my Sarah, and so many others, have heard.
    Can he win? His polling numbers are improving daily. In the end, however, the voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada will answer that question in January. But is he real, and does the movement he has inspired matter? The answer to that is self- evidently yes.

    * The writer is president of the Arab American Institute.

    Civil Rights & Advocacy Groups Call for Mortgage Industry Reform, Foreclosure Relief for Millions

    Coalition Offers Plan to Restore the American Dream Bring End to Predatory Practices

     

    The nation’s largest civil rights organizations in conjunction with multiple community-based and consumer advocacy groups demand that millions of Americans be granted immediate relief from the nation’s mortgage crisis. At today’s “Save Our Homes: Restructure Loans, Not Repossess Homes” Rally held in New York’s Financial District (Wall Street), the alliance offered strategies to end the mortgage crisis as well as predatory, discriminatory practices that currently plague the lending industry that has resulted in a record number of home foreclosures--up 94 percent in the last year alone--and late mortgage payment levels that now stand at a 20-year high. 

     

    The broad coalition calls for reforming current mortgage lending practices and a moratorium on active foreclosures. The NAACP and its partners demand that the mortgage lending industry--all of whom have ties to Wall Street’s investment firms--and policy makers at all levels act now. A Congressional estimate puts 2 million American homeowners with sub-prime mortgages at direct risk of losing their homes this holiday season if nothing is done to immediately remedy the situation.

     

    “The sub-prime loan is firmly implicated in the severity of the mortgage crisis,” said Interim NAACP President & CEO Dennis Courtland Hayes. “Data shows us that African Americans disproportionately hold more than  half of these higher priced loans that stymie families' attempts at keeping good credit, retaining their homes and amassing wealth. The home loans that have been offered to African Americans were built on financial quick sand and we are demanding that a solid foundation be laid to replace the damage that has been done and reduce the risk that stands to decimate whole communities.” 

     

    President Bush’s mortgage crisis plan unveiled late last week is inadequate, the coalition asserts. His plan contains numerous limitations that would exclude sub-prime borrowers who are delinquent and those most hurt by predatory lending. The administration’s plan does not scrutinize the practices of the lending industry either and is voluntary, allowing participating lenders to stave off government investigation or intervention.

     

    “The combined threat of sub-prime loan defaults and excessive indebtedness has supplanted terrorism and the Middle East as the biggest short-term threat to the U.S. economy,” said RainbowPUSH founder and President Rev. Jesse L. Jackson. “These companies have set no funds aside for their victims--homeowners--nor have they offered to restructure loans so people can stay in their homes. It’s time to put economic justice on the agenda. We want Congress to protect homeowners and consumers, and not just protect Wall Street by bailing-out the financial institutions. Then there must be a full investigation and criminal prosecutions where warranted. We have to stand up for our neighbors and save our communities. We need to defend ourselves from more economic pain.”

     

    The coalition supports a seven point Homebuyer’s Bill of Rights developed by the National Urban League that includes saving for homeownership, affordable housing opportunities, fairness in lending, fairness in case of loan default and aggressive enforcement of fair housing laws. The complete details of the Homebuyer’s Bill of Rights can be found online at: www.naacp.org, www.nul.org or www.rainbowpush.org.  

     

    “We must put a stop to this crisis before it causes major disruptions in our credit markets and economy and devastates urban communities where sub-prime lending has helped millions of hard-working Americans own their own homes for the very first time and has pushed homeownership rates among minorities to historic levels,” said National Urban League President & CEO Marc Morial. “All homeowners deserve to be treated fairly when facing foreclosure—not left powerless to watch their homeownership dreams wither and die. We urge lenders to restructure loans not repossess homes.”

     

    In July the NAACP filed suit in federal court against 14 of the country’s largest lenders, alleging systematic, institutionalized racism in sub-prime home mortgage lending. This is the first known lawsuit that challenges such lending practices on a broad scale. Those proceedings continue.

     

    The NAACP, National Urban League, RainbowPUSH and its partners vow to keep up the fight for economic equality on all fronts, including in court and in Congress. The coalition encourages Congress to pass a comprehensive bill regulating the sub-prime loan industry to eradicate the current patchwork of 50 state laws.

     

    Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization.  Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

     

    National Urban League (www.nul.org) Established in 1910, The Urban League is the nation's oldest and largest community-based movement devoted to empowering African Americans to enter the economic and social mainstream. Today, the National Urban League, headquartered in New York City, spearheads the non-partisan efforts of its local affiliates. There are over 100 local affiliates of the National Urban League located in 36 states and the District of Columbia providing direct services to more than 2 million people nationwide through programs, advocacy and research.

     

    The RainbowPUSH Coalition is a progressive organization fighting for social change. As a mighty coalition of conscience; workers, women and people of color have the power to make the American Dream a Reality!
