(September 17, 2009) « ~People
. from across the county flowed
into the west end of the
National Mall, in front of the
Capital Building, on'Sept. 12
in a march organized by
Freedomworks, Tea Party
Express and several other
groups, The goal of the march
seemed to be determined by
who was speaking at the time.
Brenden ' " Steinhauser,
grassroots director of
Freedomworks, a group
headed by
former
Congressman Dick Armey, said
the message of the march was,
oBig government isn Tt popular,
whether it Ts done by
Republicans or Democrats. ?
But comments from the crowd,
and certainly their signs and T-
shirts, indicated that jt was more
than big government being
protested. There were many
people displaying signs against
health care reform, President
Obama Ts right to take office and
calling his ideology and religion
into question, There has been a
dispute about the number of
attendees, which has fluctuated
from the 1.7 million Glenn Beck
claims an unnamed university
counted, to around 70,000, a
number attributed to a District
spokesperson who denied
providing an. estimate. Pete
Piringer, spokesman. for the
Washington, D.C. Fire and
EMS Department, shared his
observations from the day. oIt
was a good sized crowd, ? he
said. oIt was pretty much
between Third Street and the
JACKSON, Miss (AP)- In Mis-
sissippi, where mention of the
civil rights movement evokes
images of bombings, Ku TKlux
Klan, public schools are pre-
paring to test a program that
will ultimately teach students
about the subject in every grade
from kindergarten through high
school.
So far, four school systems have
asked to be part of a. pilot ef-
fort to test the curriculum: in
high schools . In September the
Mississippi Department of Edu-
cation will name the systems
that haye been approved for the
pilot. By the 2010-11 T school
year, the program should be in
place at all grade levels as part
of social studi¢s courses.
Advocacy groups such as the
William Winter Institute for
Racial Reconciliation and "
Washington based Teaching. for:
Change are preparing to train
Mississippi teachers to tell the
ountold story ? of the civil rights
struggle to the nearly half mil-
lion students in the state Ts es
lic schools.
oNow more than ever we afe
engaged in national debates
about race and so much of those
debates are impoverished in

The new chairman of the North
Carolina Republican Party has
been touring the state, railing
against Gov. Perdue Ts Tbroken ?
promises of no new taxes, alleging
that Pres, Obama address to
students is actually a cover to save
his falling poll numbers, and
urging Republicans across the
state that now is the time for unity
in order to take back the state
Legislature in the 2010 elections.
Indeed NCGOP Chairman Tom

Fetzer Ts elected second-in-
command is to be believed, the
leadership of that NCGOP oteam ?
is all White because Chairman
Fetzer is deliberately freezing him
out. That Ts the stunning charge
NCGOP Vice Chairman Dr.
Timothy Johnson, an African-
American, made in published
reports last weekend. By press
time Wednesday, no one from state
Republican Party headquarters in
Raleigh was willing to return
phone calls to clarify. In those
reports, published initially by The
News and Observer, Dr. Johnson,
formerly the chair of the
Buncombe County Republican
Party before he was elected as the
State party's first African-
American vice chair in history last
June, alleges that he o T...has asked
for an office at party headquarters
in Raleigh and to be included in
events and planning. ? TI'm the
first black to serve at this role, as
the state vice chair, and I'm not
. being included, ? Johnson is quoted
a8 telling the N&O. oAll the
are continuing to perpetuate the
traditional image of the party,
which is just whites. That Ts all we
have in our headquarters is
whites. ? ? Later in the article,
Johnson made it clear that under
Chairman Fetzer, he is not a happy
camper. "This issue is between
him and 1. It Ts about him and I. ?
Fetzer, a conservative Republican
who cut his political teeth working
for.arch-Conservative Sen. Jesse
Helms T National Congressional
Club inthe 1980s before serving
three-terms as mayor of Raleigh
from 1993-99, has always been an
aggressive and controversial figure
in North Carolina politics. In an
effort to set up interviews with
both Chairman Fetzer and Vice
Chairman Johnson, and even get
an official party statement on the
controversy, The Carolinian/
Wilmington Journal called
NCGOP headquarters early
Tuesday morning, and left a
message for Communications
Director Jordan Shaw, However
Shaw did not return the call, Dr.
Johnson did not respond to a
detailed email request for an
interview, and Chairman Fetzer
could not be reached independently
before press time. A follow-up
email was sent to the party's
Communications director early
Wednesday hours before press
time, and again there was.no reply
from anyone. There is no question
that Dr. Johnson, a clean-cut
military veteran, has taken great
pride in winning the number-two
spot in the state GOP. In a YouTube

Southern Baptist :
For Obame's Death
June 21, 2009) - A well-known
minister of a denomination that
once supported slavery and is
firmly against a Woman's right
to an abortion said recently that
he is praying for President
Obama to die. The Rev. Wiley.
Drake, a former second vice
president of the Southern
Baptist Convention, told Fox
News Radio earlier this month
that he was practicing "
oimprecatory prayer ? or
seeking a divine curse that
would cause the president to
die. oIf he does not turn to God
and does not turn his life
around, I am asking God to
enforce imprecatory prayers
that . ate. throughout. the
death, ? Drake said in an
interview with Fox Ts Alan
Colmes, according to the
Associated Press. The Southern
Baptist Convention was formed
in 1845 so slaveholders could T
continue
to--serve as~
missionaries. The church
supported the South during the
Civil War, supported
segregation of the races before _
and during the Civil Rights
Movement and has been known
for its hostility toward
affirmative action and busing to
achieve racial balance in
schools. The church has been a
favorite. of conservative
Republican Party candidates. (
In 1995, Southern Baptists
formally sought forgiveness
from African-Americans.( By
2007, the convention Ts minority
membership, including A frican-
Americans, Asians and Latinos,
had grown to about 18 percent,
said the Rev. Richard Land,
head of the denomination Ts
public policy arm. But like many
other U.S. denominations, the
16.2 million-member Southem
Baptist Convention remains
overwhelmingly White.(

Bill Clinton were raised

the church in 2000 over its
increasingly right-wing agenda .
and = "s while ~ " " Clinton
acknowledges his roots in the
denomination, he attends
services with his wife, Secre
of State Hillary Clinton, who is
a United Methodist. Roger

convention relations with the

committee, said that Drake Ts
comments were out of line with
church teachings, Oldham told
the Associated Baptist Press
_ that Drake's comments do not

oFirst of all, then I urge
petitions, prayers, intercessions
and thanksgivings be maile for
everyone, for kings and all those
who are in authority, so that we :
may lead a tranquil and quiet life
in all godliness and dignity. This
is good, and it pleases God our
Savior. ? Drake recently said
that he prayed for the death of
famed abortion doctor George
Tiller. Tiller was shot to death
in his church on May 3! in
Wichita, Kan. by an anti-
abortion activist. In regards to
Obama, Drake, who pastors a
church in Buena Park, Calif,
had not retracted his statement
as of AFRO presstime.

Social Security Checks Will Be Decreased
WASHINGTON (AP) "
Millions of older people face
shrinking Social Security
checks next year, the first time
in a generation that payments
would not rise. The trustees
who oversee Social Security
are projecting there won Tt be
a cost of living adjustment
(COLA) for the next two
years. That hasn Tt happened
since automatic increases were
adopted in 1975. By law,
Social Security benefits cannot
go down. Nevertheless,
monthly payments would drop
for millionsof people in the T:

program because
premiums, which often are

payments, are scheduled to go

Connecticut who now heads

deal. ? Cost of living
adjustments are pegged to
inflation, which has been
negative this year, largely
because energy prices are
below 2008 levels. Advocates
say older people still face
higher prices because they
spend a disproportionate
amount of their income on
health care, where costs rise
faster than inflation. Many also
have suffered from declining
home values and shrinking
stock portfolios just as they are
relying on those assets for
income. oFor many elderly, they
don Tt feel that inflation is low
because their expenses are still
going up, ? said David Certner,
legislative policy director for
AARP. oAnyone who has
savings and investments has
seen some serious losses. ? -
About 50. million retired and
disabled Americans receive
Social Security benefits. The
average monthly benefit for
retirees is $1,153 this year. All
beneficiaries received a 5.8
percent increase in January, the
largest since 1982.
More than'32 million people are :
in the Medicare. prescription |
drug program. Average monthly
premiums are set to go from
$28 this year to $30 next year,
though they vary by plan. About
6 million people in the program
have premiums deducted from
their monthly Social Security
payments, according to the
Social Security Administration.
Millions of people with
Medicare Part B coverage for
doctors T visits also have their
premiums deducted from Social
oSecurity payments: Part B
premiums are expected to rise
as well. But under the law, the
increase cannot be larger-than
the increase in Social Security
benefits for most recipients.
, There is no such hold-harmless
provision for drug premiums.
Kennelly Ts group wants
Congress to increase Social
Security benefits next year, even
thodgh the formula doesn Tt call
for it. She would like to see a
little less than $8 billion, could
be covered by increasing the
amount of income subjected to
Social Security taxes, Kennelly
said. Workers only pay Social
Security taxes on the first
$106,800 of income, a limit that
rises each year with the average
national wage. But the limit
only increases if monthly
benefits increase. Critics argue
that Social Security recipients
shouldn Tt get an increase when
inflation is negative. They note
that recipients got a big increase
in January " after energy prices
had started to fall. They also
note that Social Security
recipients received one-time
$250 payments in the spring as
part of the government Ts
economic stimulus package.
Coiisiimer pricey are down font
2008 levels; giving T Social
Security recipients more
purchasing power, even if their
benefits stay the same, said
Andrew G. Biggs, a resident
scholar at the American
Enterprise
Washington think tank.
oSeniors may perceive that they
are being hurt because there is
no COLA, but they are in fact
not getting hurt, ? Biggs said.
oCongress has to be able to tell
people they. are not getting
everything they want. ? Social
Security is also facing long-term
financial problems. The
retirement program is projected
to start paying out more money
than it receives in 2016. Without
changes, the retirement fund.
will be depleted in. 2037,
according to the Social Security.
trustees T annual report this year,
officially announces that there
will not be an increase in
benefits next year. oI think a
lot of seniors:do not know
what Ts coming down the pike,
and I believe that when they
hear that, they Tre. going to be
upset, ? said Sen. Bernie
Sanders,
Institute, a- )
taking some unbelievable
shots. ? At Friday Ts weigh-in,
Marquez (50-5-1) was four
pounds T lighter " than
Mayweather, who paid a
$600,000 penalty for missing
the bout weight of 144 pounds.
Simple physics took over from
there. Though Marquez stayed
on his feet for 12 one-sided
rounds, Money Mayweather Ts
win was never in doubt. ?
Mayweather had an astonishing
edge in punch stats, landing 290
of his 493 blows (59 percent)
while allowing just 12 percent
of Marquez Ts 583 punches to
land. Mayweather landed more
jabs in each round than
Marquez landed total punches; .
and just 16 percent. of
Marquez Ts power shots even
got. to Mayweather.
Mayweather often appeared to
be toying with Marquez, who Ts
generally considered among the
world Ts top handful of fighters.

How To Complain
About A Company
By Mary Pilon |
As we all know, sometimes
companies don Tt get it right "
"you order a DVD and receive
a t-shirt with three wolves
instead, your luggage winds
up in Bangkok while you T re in
Birmingham, or you find two
charges on your Visa bill for
primer on how you, the
consumer, can get the remedy
you need.
1. Exhaust all options with the
company. Most mistakes are
honest ones, so hopefully
speaking with customer
service will set things right, Be
polite but firm when dealing
with customer service "
representatives. Anyone who
has worked in customer
service knows that screaming,
Swearing and name-calling '
aren't appreciated, and are
occasionally tracked and
noted on your customer
profile.
Ask to speak with a manager;
and if discussions there have
reached a standstill, consider
filing a written complaint.
Many companies have ways to
file complaints online, and ask
a customer service
representative for the proper
email and mailing address, as
well as what kind of responise
you can expect to receive.
Most companies have contact
information on their Web sites,
but keep a copy of whatever
you send with dates so you can
follow up.
"Written letters are a great
4 aa eat it helps you
Tegularly ©
complaints, too, Consumer
and accurate. Don Tt forget ~~
include contact information so
~~ ~~ "the company cant Teach out to
you. (The government j puts out
a Consumer Action Handbook,
a handy index of resources for
consumers and also offers tips
on how to write et
- letters.) =a
2. File Ta complaint with the
| Better Business Bureau.
Although the BBB is not an
official regulating body, it Ts.a
powerful channel between
consumers and companies.
Consumers can file complaints
on the BBB Ts Web site, and the
Bureau then sends the
complaint to the company, If the
company is among the BBB Ts
400,000 participating
businesses, they must respond,
says Alison Southwick, a BBB
spokesperson. | Member
companies adhere to the BBB
Code of Business Practices,
which means they must
maintain a BBB rating of B or
higher, keep up with local
licenses and clearly disclose
policies to companies, among
other things. Other non-
participating. businesses
respond | to
complaints are also filed into the
BBB Ts database of publicly-
available reliability reports.
When writing a complaint to file
- with the BBB, be as detailed as
possible. List the names, places,
dates, times and numbers of
people you spoke with: If the |
complaint is about a smaller
company or possible scam,
these clues can help the BBB
track down fraud. A rule of
. thumb: oPeople should just
pour themselves a glass of wine
and, : start» typing, ? Ms.
Southwick says;
The BBB doesn Tt handle
. complaints against employers
or licensed professionals such as
doctors or lawyers. But they
will direct those complaints to
the relevant ethics boards or
industry regulators,
3. Tell the government. This
- Option is best when you have an
the same item. Here Ts a brief issue that you think could
impact many other consumers,
Ms. Southwick says, Think
more along the lines of
telemarketing fraud or loan- -
modification scams rather than
a late pizza delivery person.
Ms. Southwick also suggests
that consumers file a complaint
with their state attorney general
and the Federal Trade
Commission. Consumers aren Tt .
individual
guaranteed
resolution to their issue, but if
these vffices get lots of similar
complaints, it could launch an
investigation. Ohio state
attorney general Richard
Cordray recently filed a Jawsuit
against a debt collector after
receiving a wave of customer
complaints. These complaints
can be filed either through the
Federal. Trade Commission Ts
website or by finding contact
information for your state
oattorney general. (Google your
state and oattorney general ?) In
general, they Tre looking for the
same details and information
that the BBB is, as they, too,
may need clues to investigate,
4. Go public, Once you've
exhausted all other options, you
may have some luck going to
the Web. Blogs and Twitter
have made it almost too easy to
(loudly) voice your complaints
he. to ps Avmpainetis audience, erm

can explode at lightning Speed
for a company. os
Some companies like JetBlue
have made a point of.
introducing internet-focused
consumer relations
representatives, but not all
companies have in-house
resources dedicated to online
complaints.
Nine different employees handle
JetBlue Ts million-follower-
strong Twitter stream, says
Morgan Johnston, JetBlue Ts
manager of corporate
communications. He Ts one T of
them, and the airline has: with
two or three staffers: manning
Twitter at any given time.
The @JetBlue feed is used to
notify consumers about possible
weather delays, airline policies
and where to get a good
espresso. Mr. Morgan also says
that the company responds to
individual customer complaints,
directing those consumers to.
customer service
representatives who can pull up .
booking _ information,
reschedule flights or issue
refunds.
oThete T § 1,000 customer
service reps on the phone, ? he _

tweets and let airports know if §

hours, Mr. Morgan had the

exception for the $50 bike fee,
and the airline refunded the | a

When it comes to castorners,
Mr. Morgan says he sees the
gamut of frustrated flyers.

Ts ¢ African American Depression
Obams spoke to Wal Street
today about the need to
carefully guard the apparent
economic recovery, ordering
financial titans to act with
integrity as the recession
slowly dwindles away. But The
New York Times is painting a
much different economic
picture for African Americans.
For blacks in large numbers,
we are not coming out of a
recession we . are
experiencing a depression that
germinated nine years ago, In
addition to that; we are being
mci
blamed by disgruntled whites
for their increasing economic
misery. From The Times:

the white middle class has been

Despite the sense of white
grievance, though, blacks are the
ones who are taking the brunt of

And they weren Tt doing so well
* to begin with. At the Start of the
recession, 33 percent of the black
middle class was already in
danger of falling to a lower
oeconomic level, according to a
study by the Institute on Assets
and Social Policy at Brandeis
University and Demos, a
nonpartisan public policy
research organization. In fact,
you could say Tthat for African-
wrenching article about a terrible
side effect of the economic
downturn. Apparently, more
women are turning to sex work
to make ends meet, because jobs
that pay decent wages are so
scarce. And the Internet makes
it easier than ever for women
with no experience in this
secretive industry to get started.
Your image of who turns to
prostitution may be shattered by
this piece, in which you will meet
characters who could be your

It occurred from 2000 to 2007,
as black employment decreased
