Sarah Palin And Her Outrageous Rape Kit Policy By Bonnie Erbe Sep 18, 2008 E-Mail Story Print Story Sphere Share Text Size: A A A (US News) Mountains of controversy are swirling around Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's strange policy of forcing rape victims to pay for their own rape kits while she was mayor of the now-infamous town of Wasilla. The most interesting take I've found is posted by Alaska blogger Shannyn Moore who relates the following: I sat with a rape victim during the "harvesting of evidence". Mascara smeared eyes stared blankly out from a cave of shame. "We've got swimmers," announced the forensic tech in the lab next door. My friend didn't look surprised. In her 60's, she was still asked if she felt the need for emergency contraception. Surviving the process would have only been compounded and made worse with an itemized bill; victimized twice courtesy of Sarah Palin and the city of Wasilla. Much can be learned about the Palin Administration's family values from reviewing their spending priorities. Former Chief of Police Irl Stambaugh included forensic rape kits (up to $1,200 per kit) in his budget requests. He was fired by Palin in 1997. In her termination letter, Palin wrote, "...I do not feel I have your full support in my efforts to govern the city of Wasilla. Therefore I intend to terminate your employment... " Staumbaugh headed the police department since it was created in 1993. Before that, he served 22 years with the Anchorage Police Department rising to the rank of captain. Sarah Palin hired Charlie Fannon as the new Wasilla Chief of Police and said it was one of her best decisions as mayor. Fannon eliminated the forensic rape kits from the budget. Though the number of rapes weren't reported, Fannon claimed it would save Wasilla taxpayers $5,000 to $14,000 a year. Palin supporters ought to be taking a much closer look at her record on these types of issues (charging rape victims for evidentiary examinations so their attackers can be brought to trial) than whether she can juggle five children and the vice presidency. This, more than anything, should push women, pro-life and pro-choice, away from the McCain-Palin ticket. It's one thing to oppose abortion on moral grounds. It's quite another to charge crime victims for their own forensic examinations. Such a policy is nothing short of outrageous.

Disabled under 62's living in Elderly housing I live in elderly housing,I am a victim of a young girl in a wheelchair who makes up all kind of stories about me, outright lies,and reports them to my management company in NH. They in turn tell me to stop harassing and threatening her,which i certainly am not doing, or face eviction and ! Another young 20 something,big as an ox,roams around the complex all day, just following people around and breaking things. We have not been able to use the picnic table for 2 years, we have them roaming in the halls or doing their laundry after 11 pm,leaving lights on in rooms they jsut left ,and so forth.They knock on doors and ask for food or money and all their freinds have keys to the place/ Why don't these people have their own place or why aren't they put to useful work. They are capable of making babies,dating,driving,harassing,just about anything but working,and to say anything at all in response to their harassments,make even more trouble for the elderly. I find this going on all across the country ,not only with this mangement company,but others. Would you like these rude,drunk,druggies and worse living with you in your home or aprtemnt? Why do you force them on people who have worked hard all their lives and are now lookin g for a little peace,quiet and contentment. No one is discriminating against the truly poor helplesss people,but these people have too much time on their hands,and thrive on causing disturbances like the drug deal that just went down in Brooklyn and the graffiti on the wall in NOrth Grosvenordale,same out of state management company, they are allowed to leave condoms in th eparking lot and have homeless friends live in all winter and beer parties galore with impunity. Reporting them only leads to your own home getting ransacked or invaded , your car alarm being set off nightly,or vandalized,your being followed wherever you go,the management sides with them and doesn't want to hear it as they believe their position in life squelches any consequences to their actions.and all that governemnt money coming in is nice,too. If you do not have this in your home,why do you make us endure it? Please find a place for these troublemaking individuals,possibly Iraq,if not in your backyard. I raised my kids,now they are paying for yours and others' to degrade,demean and destroy the earned retirement in peace we so deserve. Please do something. and soon,this haeen ongoing fo ryears,whover thought of bundling up such losers with fine people ought to lose their license for being a human being. Thanks,from a constituent who wrote you and you gave the name of legal aid to. Take Action Now!

In the last decade, countless revisionist scholars have followed in the footsteps of John Dittmer and Charles Payne in the pursuit of creating a more complete and complex narrative of the black freedom struggle through historically grounded local studies. Placing local people at the center of civil rights history rather than at its periphery forces the myths of the movement to crumble. Local studies demonstrate that non-violence coexisted alongside self-defense in the South and throughout the nation. They reveal the role women played as local organizers alongside men who missed the spotlight as national mobilizers. Finally, local studies implode the notion that the civil rights movement took place only in the South between 1954 and 1965 and challenge the sharp dichotomies made between civil rights and black power. The goal now is to connect the local, the regional, the national, and when possible, the transnational. Local people from all over the nation drove the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign (PPC)—the first truly national, multiracial anti-poverty movement. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) built Resurrection City—a temporary shantytown of plywood A-frame houses on the National Mall—to display the appalling living conditions endured by the poor and provide a home base for daily protests at various government buildings. But the nine regional caravans that transported the multi-racial coalition of the poor to the capital connected local movements with the national campaign in Washington, D.C. The caravans enabled local people to place their individual needs in a national context and recognize the systemic roots of their poverty. This presentation focuses on the most dramatic of the nine regional caravans, the Mule Train—a caravan of approximately fifteen mule-drawn covered wagons—and Marks, Mississippi, the small Delta town that served as the launching pad for the Mule Train and the PPC. Caravanning to the capital as a moving political theater, the Mule Train enabled participants to perform the limits on poor people’s mobility—both economic and physical. Cultural geographer Tim Cresswell argues that mobility is a site of ideology construction that often invokes contradictory meanings, since it has meant freedom and opportunity for some and shiftlessness and deviance for others. This analysis considers how representations of the Mule Train and its participants fall along racial, class, and gendered lines and how the caravan used mobility as a form of political resistance. The participants’ courage to endure the long and arduous journey and protest in Washington challenges culture of poverty depictions of the poor as lazy and apathetic. Drawing on interviews with Mule Train participants and SCLC archival materials, this presentation demonstrates how the PPC transformed one Delta community and its residents and considers how representations of and memorials to the Mule Train have affected perceptions of poverty nationally and people’s experiences locally. Connecting the past with the present and concentrating on the process of organizing rather than evaluating whether or not the PPC succeeded in meeting its goals, can help us understand what motivates people to join social movements and how they effect participants’ lives.

New author G.A. Johnson and Nefertari Imani Baraka are trying to put you to bed! A few months ago I reviewed Tari's (what she prefers to be called) literary debut Ghetto Lullabies. Which is a urban poetry book with very good structure and laid back vibe; and while pieces like Him and Your Gift aluded to the existence of a sensual arsenal in her pen awaiting release I would never have expected this. This new book sets a standard for the genre. Teaming up with new debut author G.A. Johnson who is going to put Orangeburg on the map; this book is an erotic journey into the thoughts and fantasies most of us don't admitt to having. What I like the most about this book is how tastefully it is presented; from the cover which in its simplicity leaves you to wonder what is to come to the audio compiled to accompany it. The book has an earthiness to it in that the stories in it are believable. Some of them are short stories, some a little longer, and there is even some poetry. Tari said," These are stories to be shared by couples during those quite times when the kids are asleep or better yet visiting grandma. I knew I wanted to work on this project when one night up in Helen, Georgia (hint, hint) I began reading Seven Night Stand to my "Neo" and he told me it was one of the most sensual things to him. Just reading that little bit of almost erotica to him let us share an intimacy not all couples get to experience but hopefully through the pages of this book they will." I would compare these two authors on this work to Eric Jerome Dickey and Zane. For more information or to pre order your copy go to www.nefertaribooks.com Everyone who signs for my mailing list by MIDNIGHT tonight will recieve a free snipit copy of this book BEFORE it is released which will also contain a promotional code for a discount off the purchase of a pre-ordered copy.

My people we must continue to stand as one. For as you all know it is together that we are most powerful. It was together that our people fought, went to jail, and even died for our sake. So it is now more than ever that we must stand taller than ever, and keep the fight that they started alive." "
