Civil Rights – (the other issues are in progress and will appear in a future thread)
http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ci...en-enforcement

1) “reverse the politicization” under Bush’s Dept. of justice
http://www.wagingpeace.org/articles/...scientific.htm
- a recent example includes the spy satellite which was shot down…right Mr. Bush, the hydrazine was going to kill us all

2) “overturn supreme court’s ruling” below on unequal pay
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18920357/
- This is about law suits, not equal pay Mr. Obama

3) “strengthen federal hate crimes legislation”
http://www.adl.org/99hatecrime/intro.asp
- A decent proposal

4) “harsh penalties…for voter fraud [and]…provides voters who have been misinformed with accurate…information”
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...032801969.html
- Strengthen the penalties? The second part of this sounds like a scam.

5) “ban racial profiling”
http://www.aclu.org/racialjustice/ra...ing/index.html
- How so? This sounds suspicious

6) “substance abuse and mental health counseling…prison-to-work incentive”, etc.
http://www.impactpublications.com/in...OD&PRODID=6734
- I like this one, don’t just throw them back at society, but is it coming out of my paycheck?

7) eliminate “sentence disparity between…crack and powder-based cocaine”
http://www.chadbourne.com/clientalerts/2007/sentencing/
- Sounds reasonable, and it won’t hurt anyone.

8 ) “first time, non-violent offenders…where appropriate…drug rehabilitation programs” instead of prison terms
http://www.ndci.org/courtfacts.htm
- Maybe Mr. Obama, I don’t know about this one
