Are Members of Congress (and Maybe Even the President) Being Blackmailed?

Politics on 5/3/09

Congressman Davy Crockett, "I will give one week's pay, and if every member of Congress will do the same, it will amount to more than the bill asks." There was silence on the floor of the House.

Never forget: Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 which imprisoned over 110,000 Japanese Americans for being the wrong race. Thousands lost their businesses and homes.

Jack Kemp has died, here's his letter to his grandchildren after the Obama election.

F.B.I. Raids 10th graders home 2 months ago for alleged bomb threats. Will not let mother see her son. No due process. No rights given. Treated as a terrorist. F.B.I. Won't comment. Courtesy of the Patriot Act.

Instead of FDR's internment order, I would rather remember the 100th Battalion, a Japanese American unit who despite having their families interred, returned to their country 52 Distinguished Service Crosses, 560 Silver Stars, 4,000 Bronze Stars, and 9,486 Purple Hearts
