		<description><![CDATA[SENATOR OBAMA, PLEASE OFFER BLACK AMERICA SOME HOPE CONCERNING THIS AMERICAN JUDICIAL INJUSTICE??


**LETS ALL HOPE OUR INTERNATIONAL MEDIA FRIENDS ALSO SHOW AN INTEREST IN REPORTING ON THIS AMERICAN HORROR FACING THESE (TENS OF THOUSANDS) FORGOTTEN AND TRAPPED POORER AMERICANS, AND HOW THIS POSSIBLE FUTURE PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER HANDLES THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE FACING AMERICA&#039;S LATINO AND BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ????

**WITH 80% OF THE BLACK AMERICAN VOTERS SAYING THEY SUPPORT SENATOR OBAMA IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, IT IS ONLY FAIR FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW PRIOR BEING ELECTED OUR NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HOW THIS DEMOCRATIC SENATOR TRULY FEELS ABOUT THIS AMERICAN JUDICIAL HORROR CONTINUING TO INFLICT GRAVE HARM ON THE BLACK AMERICAN FAMILIES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES NATIONWIDE ??????

*** WHEN GOD’S FACE BECAME VERY RED ***
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 ?????????

**** 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.

****WHEN THE US INNOCENT WERE ABANDONED BY THE GUILTY ****
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.

**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.

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.

This devious and deceptive judicial process of making our poor and innocent prison inmates formulate and write their own federal appeal legal cases for possible retrials on their state criminal cases,is still in effect today even though everyone in our US judicial system knows that without proper legal representation, these tens of thousands of innocent prison inmates will be denied their rightful opportunities of ever being granted new trials from our federal appeal judges!!

Sadly, the true US *legal* Federal Appeal situation that occurs when any of our uneducated American prison inmates are forced to attempt to submit their own written Federal Appeals (from our prisons nationwide) without the assistance of proper legal counsel, is that they all are in reality being denied their legitimate rights for Habeas Corpus and will win any future Supreme Court Case concerning this injustice!

For our judicial system and our US Congressional Leaders Of The Free World to continue to pretend that this is a real and fair opportunity for our American Middle Class and Working Poor Citizens, only delays the very needed future change of Federal Financing of all these Federal appeals becoming a normal formula of Our American judicial system.

It was not so very long ago that Public Defenders became a Reality in this country.Prior that legal reality taking place, their were also some who thought giving anyone charged with a crime a free lawyer was a waste of taxpayers $$.

This FACADE and HORROR of our Federal Appeal proce$$ is not worthy of the Greatest Country In The World!

***GREAT SOCIETIES THAT DO NOT PROTECT EVEN THEIR INNOCENT, BECOME THE GUILTY!

A MUST READ ABOUT AMERICAN INJUSTICE:
1) YAHOO AND 2) GOOGLE
MANNY GONZALES THE KID THAT EVERYONE FORGOT IN THE CA PRISON SYSTEM.
** A JUDICIAL RIDE OF ONES LIFE !

		<description><![CDATA[I have called in on this location on many an instance now but this post is the 1st one that I have ever commented on.

Congratulations on such a first-rate critique and site. I have found it to be very helpful and educational - I only wish that there were more blogs online like this one.

I never disappear from this blog without learning anything, from time to time I may feel a tiny bit saddened that I may not agree with a blog article or comeback that has been made. But hey! that is existence and if every one decided to agree on the same thing what a boring old world we would exist in.

Please maintain your admirable work.

Having said all of this, and if I&#039;m kindly allowed to continue with my entries I will come again to post on your blog site soon


Cheers, have a great day and thank you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mandela wanted to be the first South African Black President, Obama wants to be America&#039;s first  Black President. Mandela&#039;s task was to reconcile South Africans, Obama&#039;s task will be to reconcile America with the rest of the world. They have lot in common, no wonder you are comparing them. Yes Obama has never spent 27 years in jail, he is not 90 yrs old. But he is a visionary, just like Madiba is. My statement is support by his presidential announcement speech of February 10, 2007: &quot;But all of this cannot come to pass until we bring an end to this war in Iraq. Most of you know I opposed this war from the start. I thought it was a tragic mistake. Today we grieve for the families who have lost loved ones, the hearts that have been broken, and the young lives that could have been. America, it&#039;s time to start bringing our troops home. It&#039;s time to admit that no amount of American lives can resolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of someone else&#039;s civil war. That&#039;s why I have a plan that will bring our combat troops home by March of 2008. Letting the Iraqis know that we will not be there forever is our last, best hope to pressure the Sunni and Shia to come to the table and find peace.&quot; 

I don&#039;t think that Obama&#039;s is bad news for America at all. Yes, Hillary Clinton has got the needed political experience, she is a former first lady of America. Hang on, Governance is not like HIV/AIDS! It&#039;s not infectious, you dont just become a leader because your spouse was a leader. 

The reason I like Obama is because he is smart, he has the ability to connect with people, while  I also like his ideas on affordable, quality healthcare, progressive education policies and, of course, his opposing the war in Iraq. His humble begginings also compliment his leadership characteristics. For the first time I do agree with you.  As to Charles, no one has ever rated Madiba. Tata is not a populist, I don&#039;t think he will even approve if someone would want to rate him. No-one can ever afford to rate MADIBA, INCLUDING YOU CHARLES.]]></description>

same reaction as the first time that I heard Bill 
Clinton speak--I thought they both were full of it! I was certainly right about Clinton and I am confident that I am correct about Obama.

As for Mandela, I am in awe of his struggles but don&#039;t think much of him past that. OVERRATED!]]></description>

Ask Madela and he will confirm this. The truth is that even Hilary Clinton cannot wait to congratulate  and support Obama after March the 4th and up till his becoming the next American President.

		<description><![CDATA[Great article! As a colored person living in the US it is great to get the perspective from a thoughtful and learned African.
I feel it is premature to compare Obama to Gandhi or Mandela. But one thing I have heard about these great leaders is their power to inspire common people to doing great things. Obama certainly has such a power . I am in my mid 30&#039;s, and have been cynical about politics all my life. Obama is making me rething that.]]></description>
