ParentalRights Action Alert
On Monday presidential hopeful Rep. Michelle Bachman (R-MN) in an address to the conservative Family Research Council made very clear her support of parental rights and her opposition to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
“[The CRC] threatens the most basic unit of government that [we] attempt to defend – the family. As president, I will withdraw the signature of the United States from this treaty and every other unratified UN treaty of this type,” Bachman said.
She also added very succinctly, “I was an early co-sponsor of the Parental Rights Amendment and I will assure passage of this as president.”
Like you, we want parental rights to be part of the political discussion going into the 2012 elections, and we get excited whenever a candidate brings it up.
So where are the other candidates in this discussion? We’d like your help to ask them that.
Action Items
1. Please take a moment to email each of the candidates below and ask them where they stand. Tell them you have heard Michelle Bachman’s position, that she supports the Parental Rights Amendment and also supports withdrawing the U.S. signature from the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Ask them what their position is on these two documents and why. And tell them that if they support parental rights, they should say so in their platform and in televised debates.

Democratic National Convention Using Illegal Extortion Tactics with North Carolina Businesses
VERBATIM POST
========
When Charlotte, North Carolina mayor, Anthony Foxx campaigned to host the Democratic National Convention in his city, he assured local business owners that there would be plenty of work for them in conjunction with the convention. He told everyone that it would bring $150 million to the Charlotte economy.
However, to some local business owners, that is not the case. More than one local business owner has been notified by the DNC that they would not be getting any of their business since they were not unionized. Statements they have received from the DNC could be defined as a form of illegal extortion – you do business with me or you don’t do business at all type of extortion.
North Carolina is a right-to-work state. That means that everyone, union or non-union, has the same right to the same job for the same pay, which is only fair to everyone, including the business owners.
In lieu of knowing this, the DNC still decided to award the convention to the city of Charlotte, whose mayor just happens to be a strong ally of President Obama.
Those companies that are unionized have been receiving contracts from the DNC while those that aren’t unionized are being turned down. However, since the state is a right to work state, there are not very many unionized companies in the area.
John Montieth owns a print shop and put in a bid for some of the DNC contracts but was told that he would not be awarded any bids since he was not unionized. The work that John should have been awarded was given to an out of state unionized company in Washington DC.
Sherwood Webb, owner of Webb & Partners was told by the DNC from the onset that they would only use union companies, so Webb didn’t even bother to bid on any contracts.
The DNC denies the allegations, but their actions are proving to be more reliable than their denials. As one person said, the “right to work just became Forced to Unionize in North Carolina.”
Scott Stone, who is running against Mayor Foxx said,
“The mayor can’t have it both ways. He can’t say the convention will have a $150 million local economic impact and continue to send convention contracts and jobs out-of-state.”
Is there any difference between the DNC denial to give contracts to non-union companies and for a company owner refusing to hire someone because they are a Democrat? I guess one form of discrimination and extortion is okay for them, but not for others.

Cain Willing to Take Lie Detector Test to Prove Sexual Assault Allegations False
A defiant Herman Cain declared Tuesday he would not drop his bid for the Republican presidential nomination in the face of allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior.“Ain‘t gonna’ happen,” Cain said at a news conference a day after a fourth woman accused him of unwanted sexual advances.
“We will get through this,” he added, trying to steady a campaign that has been rocked by the controversy for the past 10 days.
Cain denied anew that he had ever behavior inappropriately and said the alleged incidents “they simply didn’t happen.” He said he would be willing to take a lie detector test if he had a good reason.
Earlier in the day, Cain sought to undercut the credibility of the latest woman whose accusations are threatening his Republican presidential campaign. His chief rival, Mitt Romney, weighed in for the first time, calling the allegations “particularly disturbing.”
Somalia Piracy Spurs Private Navy to Start Within Five Months
Via Global Guerrillas
The company behind the world’s first private navy to protect merchant ships against Somali pirates plans to start armed escorts through the Gulf of Aden within five months after attacks rose to a record this year.Convoy Escort Programme Ltd., backed by the marine insurance industry, will initially deploy seven former naval patrol boats, each with armed security teams of eight people on board, Angus Campbell, chief executive officer, said by phone from Swarland, England today. The bullet-proofed boats will charge about $30,000 per ship traveling in a convoy of around four vessels over three to four days, he said.
“We are going to be a deterrent,” Campbell said. “We are not in the business of looking for trouble but if anybody tries to attack a vessel we are escorting, our security teams will deploy force if they have to act in self defence.
Returning to Prospect Hill after 165 years
=========
A very unusual reunion will take place this Saturday at an abandoned plantation in Jefferson County, Mississippi – the haunting, seldom seen Greek Revival house known as Prospect Hill.
Coming together for the first time will be descendants of the plantation’s original slave owners; of a group of slaves who escaped into the woods after setting fire to the first house on the site, in 1845; of slaves who remained on the plantation until their emancipation during the Civil War; and of freed slaves who immigrated from the plantation to the freed-slave colony in Liberia in the 1840s. As if that weren’t enough to get the conversation going, also attending will be descendants of mixed-race liaisons between Prospect Hill’s former slave owners and slaves in the early 20th century.
For $20, you can be a fly on the wall.
Most of the descendents have never seen the place, nor met each other. They’re coming together for an event being staged by the New Mexico-based Archaeological Conservancy, which in August bought Prospect Hill to stabilize the house in hopes of finding a buyer to restore and preserve it. The 10-room structure, which was included in the Mississippi Heritage Trust’s 2011 list of the state’s 10 most endangered historic properties, is one of the few surviving landmarks of a pivotal chapter in American and Liberian history, and it is in danger of being lost.
The story behind Prospect Hill, which was the subject of my 2004 nonfiction book Mississippi in Africa, begins in the 1830s, when Revolutionary War veteran Isaac Ross sought to ensure a better life for his slaves after he and his sympathetic daughter Margaret Reed were gone. Ross and Reed stipulated in their wills that the plantation be sold and the money used to pay the way for those of its slaves who chose to immigrate to a freed-slave colony established for the purpose by a group known as the American Colonization Society. Their destination: A part of the Liberian colony known as Mississippi in Africa.
Ross and Reed no doubt knew their plan would be controversial, but they could not have known how sweeping the impacts would be. Ultimately, they unwittingly set the stage for a tumultuous court battle over the estate, filed by Ross’s grandson, Isaac Ross Wade, and for the divergence, in the 1840s, of the paths of each of the groups that will be represented at Prospect Hill on November 12.
The Rosses and Wades were divided over the repatriation effort, and the slaves themselves were divided over whether to go or stay; likewise, those who sought to immigrate were divided over whether to take matters into their own hands to overcome the obstacles placed in their path to freedom by Wade.
