Lawsuit.html?hp&ex=1114056000&en=ca5a6a0cd85ce48c&ei=5094&partner=home

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The nation's largest teachers union and school
districts in three states are launching a legal fight over No Child Left
Behind, aiming to free schools from complying with any part of the
education law not paid for by the federal government.
The lawsuit, expected to be filed Wednesday in the U.S. District
Court for eastern Michigan, is the most sweeping challenge to
President Bush's signature education policy. The outcome would
apply only to the districts involved but could have implications
for all schools nationwide.
Leading the fight is the National Education Association, a union
of 2.7 million members that represents many public educators
and is financing the lawsuit. The other plaintiffs are nine school
districts in Michigan, Texas and Vermont, plus 10 NEA chapters
in those three states and Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana,
New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah.
Education Secretary Margaret Spellings, as the chief officer
of the agency that enforces the law, is the only defendant.
The suit centers on a question that has overshadowed the law
since Bush signed it in 2002: whether the president and Congress
have provided enough money.
The challenge is built upon one paragraph in the law that says
no state or school district can be forced to spend its money on
expenses the federal government has not covered.
''What it means is just what it says -- that you don't have to
do anything this law requires unless you receive federal funds
to do it,'' said NEA general counsel Bob Chanin.
''We want the Department of Education to simply do what
Congress told it to do. There's a promise in that law, it's
unambiguous, and it's not being complied with.''
The plaintiffs want a judge to order that states and schools don't
have to spend their own money to pay for the law's expenses
-- and order the Education Department not to try to yank federal
money from a state or school that refuses to comply based
on those grounds.
Spending on No Child Left Behind programs has increased
40 percent since Bush took office, from $17.4 billion to
$24.4 billion, federal figures show. The Bush administration
has repeatedly said schools have enough money to make
the law work.
Yet the suit accuses the government of shortchanging schools
by at least $27 billion, the difference between the amount
Congress authorized and what it has spent. The shortfall
is even larger, the suit says, if the figures include all promised
funding for poor children.
The suit, citing a series of cost studies, outlines billions
of dollars in expenses to meet the law's mandates. They include
the costs of adding yearly testing; getting all children up
to grade level in reading and math, and ensuring teachers
are highly qualified.
To cover those costs, the suit says, states have shifted money
away from such other priorities as foreign languages, art and
smaller classes. The money gap has hurt schools' ability to
meet progress goals, which in turn has damaged their
reputations, the suit says.
Plaintiffs include the Pontiac School District in Michigan, the
Laredo Independent School District in Laredo, Texas; the
Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union in Brandon, Vt.; and six
of the school districts that are part of Rutland Northeast in
south central Vermont.
The NEA promised to bring the suit almost two years ago and
began recruiting states to be plaintiffs. But the union found
no takers -- in part because states had no firm cost estimates,
and in part because states were wary of the political fallout
of suing the federal government.
More than a dozen states, however, are considering anti-No
Child Left Behind legislation this year. On Tuesday, the Utah
Legislature passed a measure giving state education standards
priority over federal ones imposed by No Child Left Behind.
The school districts involved in the lawsuit give the NEA the
diversity it wanted, from rural Vermont students to limited-English
learners in Laredo to poor students in Pontiac. In the suit,
Spellings is accused of violating both the education law and
the spending clause of the U.S. Constitution.
The NEA and the Bush administration have had a testy
relationship.
When the union first promised the lawsuit, then-Education
Secretary Rod Paige accused the NEA of putting together a
''coalition of the whining.'' He later referred to the NEA as a
''terrorist organization'' for the way it opposed the law,
a comment for which he later apologized.

Greetings:
My name is Nancy Wohlforth. I am writing on behalf of United
States Labor Against the War (USLAW), whose Steering Committee
voted to sign "An Appeal to the U.S. Antiwar Movement for United
Demonstrations in the Fall" and to disseminate that Appeal as
widely as possible throughout the movement and to other
concerned groups. (Please see the Appeal below.)
It is our hope that groups opposed to the war will act promptly
in endorsing and signing the Appeal and forwarding it to whatever
lists of potential supporters of the Appeal they have access to.
While our emphasis is, of course, to provide a vehicle for groups
active in the antiwar struggle to voice their support for united
antiwar actions in the fall, we believe it is appropriate -- and
indeed essential -- to reach out to any organization that, whatever
its particular mission might be, agrees that the antiwar cause is
strengthened to the extent that the movement is unified.
Please send notice of endorsements of the Appeal to
1718 M Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20036. We request
phone numbers of all endorsers.
Our goal is to get many signers to the Appeal by mid-May
and then invite representatives from the various national
antiwar formations to convene together, hopefully in early
June, to decide dates, times and places for united actions
this fall.
We greatly appreciate your support for this undertaking.
In unity,
Nancy Wohlforth
USLAW Co-Convenor
An Appeal to the U.S. Antiwar Movement
for United Demonstrations in the Fall
We think it critical that U.S. antiwar leadership bodies initiate
a call for united national demonstrations in the fall of this year.
Powerful national mobilizations that confront the government
in the streets with hundreds of thousands can be a crucial factor
in bringing the unjust and immoral war against Iraq and the
occupation of that country to an end.
We must remember the truth revealed by the Pentagon Papers:
that mass actions against the Vietnam War were not ignored
by the war makers. Rather, those in power viewed these actions
as manifestations of a potential social upheaval too disruptive
to be left out of their geopolitical calculations. Mass national
actions remain the clearest, most direct means to demonstrate
our opposition to the war and reshape the political landscape.
They are also the type of activity most likely to penetrate the
consciousness of the troops and to assure them that if they
turn against the war, they will be welcomed into the safe
haven of a movement millions strong and ever growing.
Over the past few years, the major antiwar coalitions in this
country, to their great credit, have mobilized hundreds of
thousands of people in the streets. Yet the war and occupation
of Iraq continue, making clear that larger actions are required
to get U.S. troops out of Iraq. No one can dispute the obvious:
a united movement organizing united demonstrations can
generate a larger turnout than the component parts of the
movement can by organizing separately and sometimes
competitively. Nor can anyone doubt that rank-and-file antiwar
activists and their organizations want united actions and that
they expect leaders of the major coalitions to act responsibly
and join together to organize them.
The fall actions will also provide an opportunity for a united
peace movement to address the Iraq war's profound negative
impact here in the United States.
[Endorsers of the above statement will be listed on the USLAW
web site at http://www.uslaboragainstwar.org and the list
will be periodically updated. It is our hope that the major
antiwar coalitions will take note of all the endorsements
and respond positively to a follow-up invitation to attend
a meeting in the near future of representatives from each
group to decide the date, time, locations and other essential
matters for the fall actions.]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Injured and disabled workers are under direct attack. As a result
of the deregulation of the California Workers' Comp System,
insurance companies can refuse to care for injured and disabled
workers and are not penalized. The governor and the Democrats
have both passed a bill that destroys our health & safety.
Already injured workers have been unable to get proper medical
care, payments for their housing and their families. Some workers
have committed suicide. We cannot afford to let this continue.
While profits are going up for the insurance billionaires like Buffet,
retraining benefits have been permanently cut and now temporary
workers' comp is limited to two years. The media has ignored and
censored the plight of the injured workers. Instead of exposing
the daily nightmares we face, they are only concerned about the
insurance companies and the employers. Workers' Comp was
established to protect our rights and not the profit of the
insurance companies yet today, they are making a giant profit
off of our misery.
Health and safety on the job is also being threatened. When
workers realize that they will not be receiving care when they
are injured on the job this will create even more of a stressful
and dangerous condition on the job. Every day in California, two
workers die on the job and this is bound to grow unless injured
and disabled workers along with their families and the entire
labor movement stand together now to defend our basic rights.
We need tens of thousands of disabled and injured worker in
Sacramento.
At the same time we believe that all workers should be entitled
to healthcare. We need to push now for single payer in
California and get the insurance companies out of the
healthcare industry!
Please join our organizing committee and we will provide
a speaker and videos for organizing. Also if you can, get your
organization to endorse this.

9) Radical Politics in Modern Ireland -
The History of the Irish Socialist
Republican Party 1896-1904
David Lynch
To Be Published March 2005 |
192 Pages Irish Academic Press 0716533561
The Irish Socialist Republican Party (ISRP) was a party of seminal
importance in the history of radical politics in modern Ireland. The party
was the forerunner and ideological springhead for a political tradition that
has had a significant impact on radical Irish politics ever since.
The ISRP was the first experiment with that powerful, dynamic, yet sometimes
very confused cocktail of traditional republican politics and socialist
principles.
The party produced the first regular socialist paper in Ireland the Workers'
Republic, ran candidates in local elections, represented Ireland at the
Second International, agitated over issues such as the Boer War and the 1798
commemorations. Politically the ISRP was before its time, putting the call
for a independent "Republic" at the centre of its propaganda before Sinn
Fein or others had done so.
This is the first full length study of this important organization. Using
the primary sources available this study delves into the internal politics
and personalities that brought life to the organization. The political
significance of the organization led by James Connolly is also viewed in
both the international and national sphere.
The legacy of the ISRP was to have an impact on the left-wing and republican
movements in Ireland for many decades following it's demise in 1904.
David Lynch is a journalist who lives in Dublin. He has done work for such
publications as Magill, Leinster Leader and The Irish Times.

With biting wit and deep insight, Sylvia Weinstein's essays read
as if they were written today. Her single-minded devotion to
workers the world over make this collection of essays spanning
the years 1984-2001 a tribute to the power of this class to make
real change in the world.
Her involvement in a wide range of social movements including
the civil rights, antiwar, labor, childcare, pro-choice clinic
defense, defense of the Cuban revolution and women's rights
movement make these essays particularly meaningful lessons
from the voice of personal experience.
She was a powerful speaker who used no notes. Her warm and
"down-home" style put the audience at ease and engaged them.
Her forthright honesty came through, her devotion to the cause
genuine and backed up by early morning clinic defense every
Saturday for years.
The cover of the book shows Sylvia as she gives one of her
brilliant "fund pitches" at an International Woman's Day Rally
in San Francisco. Careful examination of the crowed reveals
the smiles on their faces as she speaks. I can hear her voice
in these essays.
In her own words, "I'm an optimist. I have witnessed the
magnificent powers of workers in struggle for their unions;
women who have defended our clinics against the 'Pro-life
fanatics; Blacks who have fought and won against the most
racist system of Jim Crow; and oppressed people who have
the power to fight and the will to win. If we are united
and know who the real enemy is, we cannot loose!"

11) Support the Right to March in New York City
Emergency Demonstration
Thursday, April 21
1:00 pm
City Hall, NYC
WRITE TO MAYOR BLOOMBERG AND PROTEST
http://www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/mayor.html
[Dear Mayor Bloomberg, We demand a permit for the May Day March
organized by the Troops Out Now Coalition and the Million Worker March.
If I could be back there in my place of birth and where I was raised,
Brooklyn, New York, I would march as is my right as a free citizen in
a democratic society-even if we don't live in one. Issue the permit.
Bonnie Weinstein, Bay Area United Against War]
The Bloomberg Administration has refused a permit for the
May Day March organized by the Troops Out Now Coalition
and the Million Worker March. The march, which is
expected to draw thousands of people from all over the
region, will begin with a 1:00 pm rally in Union Square.
In a Tuesday morning meeting between march organizers and
police officials at Manhattan South, Assistant Chief Bruce
Smolka told organizers that they would not allow a march
anywhere, any distance, on any route, on May Day.
Last year, organizers with the Million Worker March issued
a call for a unified May Day demonstration in New York
City. Since that time, both the Million Worker March and
the Troops Out Now Coalition, a group of labor, antiwar
and community activists, have been planning for a rally in
Union Square, followed by a march. Organizers applied for
a permit in November of last year, which gave the city
ample time to prepare.
Now, less than two weeks before the march, the Bloomberg
Administration has said they will refuse to issue a permit
for any march from Union Square. This is part of a
pattern of illegal and unconstitutional political
repression directed at antiwar activists and working
people.
Two years ago, when millions of people all over the world
marched against the war, the Mayor refused to allow a
march in New York City. During the Republican National
Convention, he refused to allow a peaceful rally in
Central Park. Throughout the week of the Convention, the
Bloomberg Administration and the NYPD engaged in illegal
mass arrests and detentions. In prosecuting those
arrested, they used perjured testimony and altered
videotape to press fabricated charges.
Our basic rights--the right to free speech, the right to
assemble, the right to express dissenting political
views--are under attack. Please join us to defend these
rights. Call, fax, or email Mayor Bloomberg and tell him
you support the right to march on May Day. Then join us
for an emergency demonstration on Thursday at 1:00 pm at
City Hall.
Working people have the right to speak out and to march
for better wages, for education, for healthcare, and
against the war--especially on May Day, which is
International Workers Day.
The permitted rally in Union Square is scheduled to go
ahead as planned, and organizers are determined to
exercise their right to march.
