A Disappointing Health Care
Call<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=jCDhGB68SXC2hOH8pCzxqcmuqO6ORcE%2F>

The religious community had high expectations for the conference call with
President Obama today, but the call itself was a disappointment. Obama
himself was only on for about seven minutes (to hear his bit, download the
podcast and scroll to 30:29). He restated why it is urgent for people to let
their elected representatives know their ...

Criminal conduct in Canada is normally prosecuted by a Crown counsel
representing the formal person of the Canadian state, this being The Queen.
This time the situation is reversed - it is The Queen on trial, and the
prosecutor is a remarkably foolish young man named Omar Khadr, who is the
last prisoner of a western ...

Today a faith-based coalition will host a nationwide telephone call-in with
President Barack Obama about health insurance reform. Participating in this
gathering - by telephone or online - is an important opportunity to show

President Obama today - Wednesday, August 19th - at ...

This week's spiritual wisdom is from Jalal al-Din Rumi's Mathnawi story of
the man who swallowed a snake, in a version by Coleman Barks: Jesus on the
lean donkey, this is an emblem of how the rational intellect should control
the animal-soul. Let your spirit be strong like Jesus. If that part becomes
weak, then the worn out donkey grows to a ...

On Nov 11, 2008 (just a few days after the historic win of Barack Obama) the
German paper *Der Speigel *interviewed Professor Niall Ferguson, a historian
at Harvard to discuss among other things, Obama's historical election
victory. Fergusen said: "Yes, it was a very moving moment. It was similar to
the release of Nelson Mandela. When Obama was born, in 1961, mixed marriages
between blacks and whites were still illegal in one-third of the American
states

Every time a journalist refers to "post-racial America" and our "post-racial
age," a wave of anger and sadness hits me. How can they say the United
States has moved beyond race in this age of anti-immigrant violence, racial
profiling, residential segregation, school funding disparities, and the mass
incarceration of black and Latino men? We aren't going ...

(Bangalore) - The Indian government should take major steps to overhaul a

successive governments have failed to deliver on promises to hold the police
accountable for abuses and to build professional, rights-respecting police
forces.
