rapidly disappearing again just as it did for the Japanese citizens of the
US in WWII. Tell me again what makes the US so different from any
other totalitarian State</FONT> <FONT face=Calibri>and its
population so much more open and fair minded supporters of the principles
of civil government and justice? How is it that the people should be
trusted to pursue and support good, fair, just democratic government that
holds the principles that it proclaims dear when it is the public that
elects and supports not only proposals such as these but elects officials
such as these over and over again.</FONT></FONT></STRONG></FONT></P>
<P align=left><STRONG><FONT size=4>If you are a Native American, a
Hispanic, a Afro-American, or any other minority in this country, then the
American Homeland has always been a part of the battlefield – and in many
instances, it has been the main battlefield in the battle for equity,
justice, and fairness. Unfortunately, the victims have often been
co-opted into believing and supporting the policies, actions, and values
of the establishment even when it was against their own interests and then
internalize a state of denial.</FONT></STRONG></P>

harmful bill, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) explained that the bill will
'basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the
battlefield' and people can be imprisoned without charge or trial

also declared that the bill is needed because 'America is part of the
