A key for justice and the release of allegdely falsely imprisoned persons (FIPs), the Cuban 5 targeted individuals (TIs) for their anti-terrorist work, a key for justice and their release is awareness raising about their combined case. Deisy Francis Mexidor of the International Committee to Free the Cuban 5 has, therefore, released the following explanation about the persecuted Cubans and her interview with California Mayor 60 miles from Los Angeles who is subsequently advocating for their release. In response to an interview with Prensa Latina, the Mayor of the City of Richmond, California, Gayle McLaughlin, affirmed that “known political causes in my country were resolved only when there was massive support of public opinion, as it happened with Angela Davis. That is why”, she added “the lesson of working among broad sectors of the US public is extremely valuable in a critical time when the solidarity with Gerardo Hernandez, Ramón Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fern...

By MARK SHERMAN, Associated Press Writer Mark Sherman, Associated Press Writer – Sat Feb 27, 10:41 am ET WASHINGTON – Gun control advocates are hoping they can win by losing when the Supreme Court rules on state and local regulation of firearms. The justices will be deciding whether the right to possess guns guaranteed by the Second Amendment — like much of the rest of the Bill of Rights — applies to states as well as the federal government. It's widely believed they will say it does. But even if the court strikes down handgun bans in Chicago and its suburb of Oak Park, Ill., that are at issue in the argument to be heard Tuesday, it could signal that less severe rules or limits on guns are permissible. The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence is urging the court not to do anything that woul...

“Nothing used to make me madder as a governor than when Washington politicians would get together, pass a bill, take credit for it, and send me the bill to pay. That’s exactly what this does, with the expansion of Medicaid. In addition, it dumps 15 to 18 million low-income Americans into a Medicaid program that none of us want to be a part of, because 50 percent of doctors won't see new patients. So it’s like giving someone a ticket to a bus line where the buses only run half the time.

Just like the attacks reported earlier this week, clicking the links brings users to fake Twitter pages that swipe their login information and use compromised accounts to send spam messages. Sophos shared a video on the phishing attacks:

Who better than to train women who want to go into politics than former President George W. Bush's press secretary? Dana Perino will help launch Next Step next Thursday, March 4th at Josephine's Lounge in DC (6-8 PM). Rep. Dahlkemper (D-Pa.) will also be speaking. The event is supposed to attract 100 people with media coverage. Next Step, a new bipartisan training program that is part of Running Start, trains younger women 23-27 interested in careers in politics. The first session will be in June. Applications are due March 15th. Read more on Next Step here . By Betsy Rothstein on Feb 25, 2010 12:52 PM

By Betsy Rothstein on Feb 25, 2010 01:06 PM Amber Lee Ettinger ("Obama Girl") is embracing her, uh, inner Amber. She's got a new quest going with Kelly Brade (NY PoweR Girl) where, each week, the girls broadcast live for an hour to answer questions and take comments from fans and viewers. What that quest is, is hard to say. They then turn that broadcast into 2-minute videos here . Tune into the live show every Tuesday Night at 7p.m. EST here . They promise: "Weekly guests, provocative questions, and of course, two bottles of wine!"(ie. They drink the wine and act ditzy.) Finding a half-way presentable picture of her was not easy.

With Washington, D.C. on the brink of another snowstorm, a new Facebook group is lamenting the loss of NBC Channel 4 Weatherman Bob Ryan , who is leaving his position this week. "This group is for people who understand how he has used the power of local television to educate all of us, especially children, on science. He has established relationships between NBC4 and schools, built a grand science/weather team at the station, and been there for every comet, eclipse and other astronomical and meteorological events. Thanks, Bob and your fabulous team. Well done!" But Ryan fans may not have to miss him. WaPo reports that Ryan may move to WJLA Channel 7. Read that story here .
