 <title>SENATOR OBAMA, PLEASE TELL AMERICA HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS US JUDICIAL INJUSTICE ??</title>
 <link>http://atlanta.indymedia.org/node/34546</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
I WOULD THINK THAT AMERICA&#039;S VOTING BLACK COMMUNITY NATIONWIDE IS ENTITLED TO HEAR FROM SENATOR OBAMA ABOUT THIS HORROR AFFECTING OUR POORER AMERICAN BLACKS ???
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
**SADLY THIS REPRESSIVE JUDICIAL INJUSTICE HAS BECOME AN AMERICAN ART FORM !!!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
*** WHEN GOD&#039;S FACE BECAME VERY RED ***
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
THE US SUPREME COURT GAVE ENEMY COMBATANTS FEDERAL APPEAL HC RIGHTS LAWYERS AND PROPER ACCESS TO US FEDERAL COURTS,AND POORER AMERICANS (MANY EVEN ON DEATH ROW) ARE DENIED PROPER FEDERAL APPEAL LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO OUR US FEDERAL COURTS OF APPEAL, AND ROTTING IN AMERICAN PRISONS NATIONWIDE ?????????
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
**** INNOCENT AMERICANS ARE DENIED REAL HC RIGHTS WITH THEIR FEDERAL APPEALS !
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE $LOWLY FINDING OUT HOW EA$Y IT I$ FOR MIDDLE CLA$$ AND WORKING POOR AMERICAN$ TO FALL VICTIM TO OUR U$ MONETARY JUDICIAL $Y$TEM.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
****WHEN THE US INNOCENT WERE ABANDONED BY THE GUILTY ****
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The prison experts have reported that there are 100,000 innocent Americans currently being falsely imprisoned along with the 2,300,000 total US prison population nationwide.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Since our US Congress has never afforded poor prison inmates federal appeal legal counsel for their federal retrials,they have effectively closed the doors on these tens of thousands of innocent citizens ever being capable of possibly exonerating themselves to regain their freedom through being granted new retrials.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
This same exact unjust situation was happening in our Southern States when poor and mostly uneducated Black Americans were being falsely imprisoned for endless decades without the needed educational skills to properly submit their own written federal trial appeals.

 <title>Why We Challenged Barack Obama</title>
 <link>http://atlanta.indymedia.org/node/25333</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
On Friday, August 1st I led a contingent of the Uhuru Movement into Barack Obama’s town hall meeting in St. Petersburg, Florida to raise the question, “what about the black community, Obama?” Without the benefit of a big media budget, our organization attempted to bring the serious issues experienced by African working class people across this country into the national political debate.

 <title>The Dangerous Logic of Blocking Protests in the Name of Electing Obama</title>
 <link>http://atlanta.indymedia.org/node/20494</link>
 <description>&lt;h1&gt;The Dangerous Logic of Blocking Protests in the Name of Electing Obama&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;byline&quot;&gt;
by Sunsara Taylor
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;byline&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.revcom.us&quot; title=&quot;www.revcom.us&quot;&gt;www.revcom.us&lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Millions
believe Barack Obama is the anti-war/anti-Bush candidate. In reality,
Obama is proving to be the candidate most effective at getting
all-too-many “leaders” of the anti-war movement to shut up and even
urge others to go along with wars for empire.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In
the name of getting Obama elected, the anti-war movement is being
demobilized, and firm opposition to the so-called “war on terror” is
being silenced.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
In May, Chicago anti-war activists
brought Scott Ritter, John Mearsheimer, Stephen Kinzer, and Doug Cassel
to speak at a town hall style City Council meeting and everyone
expected the City Council to pass a resolution against an attack on
Iran the next day. But before this could happen, Mayor Daley objected,
saying, “Passing a resolution like that puts a lot of burden upon
[Obama’s] candidacy and injects something that should not be injected”
into the presidential campaign. Since then, the resolution has been
sidelined by City Council aldermen and some of the activists who claim
to personally support the bill but have accepted Daley’s logic.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
And
now, as the Democratic National Convention approaches at the end of
August in Denver, people like Leslie Cagan of United for Peace and
Justice are working to pour cold water on attempts to bring forward
meaningful political protest. Recently she suggested that the anti-war
movement just “drop the idea of a big march on Sunday, August 24th” and
has insisted that “while there is plenty to be critical about in terms
of the Democratic Party leadership we would NOT want [people] to see
this as an anti-Democratic Party protest.”

 <title>U.S. Senate Spy Bill—Locked and Loaded to Shoot Down 1st and 4th Amendments</title>
 <link>http://atlanta.indymedia.org/node/8634</link>
 <description>&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
The U.S. House of Representatives on June 20th, 2008 sent to the U.S. Senate,           THE FISA AMENDMENTS ACT OF 2008, HR 6304. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
H.R. 6304 EH may be found at:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
 &lt;a href=&quot;http://thomas.loc.gov/&quot;&gt;http://thomas.loc.gov/&lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
As most of us know, several Telecoms have gotten caught helping U.S. Spy Agencies—illegally wiretap millions of U.S. and International phone calls, faxes and emails. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
Will U.S. Government’s illegal-Wiretaps be made available to U.S. and International Criminal &amp;amp; Civil Courts after HR 6304 is Passed? 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
Before the U.S. Senate passes THE FISA AMENDMENTS ACT OF 2008, shouldn’t the Senate first disclose to U.S. Citizens what may happen to the Government’s millions of illegally seized Electronic Communications that belong to U.S. Citizens? 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
Still, Congress hasn’t clarified whether the Bush Administration’s years of illegal wiretaps are admissible into U.S. criminal and civil courts. It is problematic after HR 6304 is passed, that police agencies and private government contractors will want to use illegally collected NSA/FBI and other illegal government wiretap surveillance to go back years to arrest Americans and or civilly forfeit their homes, business assets and inheritances using only a “preponderance of civil evidence” under Title 18 of the United States Code; or under the Patriot Act. There are over 200 U.S. criminal laws, violations and U.S. Government cooperating agreements with other countries that can make property subject to civil asset forfeiture. No one need be charged with a crime for government to civilly forfeit an owner’s home or business.

 <title>WHEN THE US INNOCENT WERE ABANDONED BY THE GUILTY !</title>
 <link>http://atlanta.indymedia.org/node/6848</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
AMERICANS ARE SLOWLY LEARNING ABOUT HOW EASY IT IS FOR OUR COUNTRY TO HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FALSLY IMPRISONED US INMATES NATIONWIDE!! 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
What kind of Judeau Christian values is our country demonstrating to the rest of the world when our national prisons are reported to contain 100,000 innocent and falsely imprisoned inmates who can not find even one American Political Leader or National Media source willing to take the high road in fighting for justice and equality within our federal appeal judicial process? 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
** Great societies that do not protect even their innocent, become the guilty!

&lt;p&gt;
WHEN THE WORLD&#039;S INTERNATIUONAL COMMUNITY LEARNED THE TRUTH ! 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I hate to say it, but I do believe that this injustice that our US judicial system has been inflicting on the tens of thousands of our Middle Class and Working Poor Amercans (who are the least educated US prison inmates) with prolonged incarceration, is a very realistic human rights violation if not a crime against humanity issue. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The International World Court and United Nations should be investigating why only wealthy Americans are able to receive federal retrials using proper legal representation and US poorer prison inmates are forced to be their own best lawyers from prison and failing in mass at their opportunities for federal retrial reviews. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Our judicial system just recently released 360 men who spent 25 to 40 years being incarcerated for rapes they never committed! Had these judicial victims been given appeal attorneys for their federal appeal reviews, just maybe they might have been given retrials and not have had to wait until DNA evidence exonerated them decades later. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Until our judicial system becomes so perfected to always accurately charge and convict the right individuals with crimes,we all have to stay focused on preserving every legal opportunity for the truly innocent to be able to rise up and out of our cold hearted prison system that treats everyone in their grasp as guilty equals.

 <title>ELITE CONGRESS HAS GED LAWYERS WHO NEVER LEAVE US PRISONS !</title>
 <link>http://atlanta.indymedia.org/node/5591</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
WHEN GOD&#039;S FACE TURNED RED !!!  
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;#160;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It appears that the US Supreme Court way back in 1984 knew the injustice of our federal appeal retrial review process really only being available for affluent Americans to get benefit from. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The masses of poor and mostly uneducated prison inmates who are being forced to write their own federal appeal legal cases, are being denied new trials by the federal courts in mass all across this country everyday. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Some believe this injustice stems way back in our history to pre Civil War era when the US Southern States were railroading blacks into prolonged prison sentences and knowing all along that the Federal Courts would never grant these poor black prison inmates new trials because they never could properly write their own federal appeal legal cases. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
The real horror here is that this form of injustice is even in 2008 assisting in the prolonged false incarceration of over 100,000 innocent mostly uneducated American prison inmates nation-wide. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We all know the federal appeal retrial process was designed for all Americans as a fail safe device that every American should be entitled to utilize, but it is quite obvious that our government has allowed this appeal process to slip into a completely new facade in which it has become an exclusive opportunity for only rich Americans to be able to properly benefit from. 
&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>THE US CONGRESS IS HOLDING 100,000 INNOCENT AMERICAN PRISON INMATES HOSTAGE !!</title>
 <link>http://atlanta.indymedia.org/node/4739</link>
 <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
	WILL THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HELP RESCUE THESE THOUSANDS OF ENSLAVED POORER AMERICANS ??  &lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	**** JUSTICE NO LOBBY, NO US SENATE ASSISTANCE ! NO $$ NO LOBBY ==
	100,000 INNOCENT AMERICANS FALSELY IMPRISONED IN US. ****TENS OF
	THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT POORER AMERICAN PRISON INMATES NEED INTERNATIONAL
	ASSISTANCE FOR LEGAL FEES IN HELPING THEM ATTEMPT TO EXONERATE
	THEMSELVES FROM THE US PENAL COLONIES !! &lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	Most
	Americans are well aware that there are plenty of innocent poorer US
	citizens in our prison systems nationwide,but very few of us have ever
	heard about our US Congressional representatives who are mostly lawyers
	themselves, denying our Middle Class and Working Poor Americans proper
	legal counsel for their federal appeals. &lt;br /&gt;
	When any poorer American
	is charged with a Federal crime all legal costs and appeals are paid
	for,but when one is charged in the various 50 states and run out of
	higher court state appeal opportunities and need to appeal to the
	Federal courts,it appears that these poorer and mostly uneducated
	prison inmates are left to their own best lawyering skills to attempt
	to write a federal appeal that could sway a US Federal judge to grant
	them a new retrial. &lt;br /&gt;
	Our US Congressional Representatives sleep
	soundly every night knowing there are reported to be an estimated
	100,000 innocent Americans (some residing for decades even on death
	row) in our US Prisons who have been denied proper legal counsel to
	help them attempt to exonerate themselves with their Federal Appeals? 
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
