  • Faith Voices Letter
    In Support Of Keeping Houses Of Worship Nonpartisan August 16, 2017 Dear Senator: As a leader in my religious community, I am strongly opposed to any effort to repeal or weaken current law that protects houses of worship from becoming centers of partisan politics. Changing the law would threaten the integrity and independence of houses of worship. We must not allow our sacred spaces to be transformed into spaces used to endorse or oppose political candidates. Faith leaders are called to speak truth to power, and we cannot do so if we are merely cogs in partisan political machines. The prophetic role of faith communities necessitates that we retain our independent voice. Current law respects this independence and strikes the right balance: houses of worship that enjoy favored tax-exempt status may engage in advocacy to address moral and political issues, but they cannot tell people who to vote for or against. Nothing in current law, however, prohibits me from endorsing or opposing political candidates in my own personal capacity. Changing the law to repeal or weaken the “Johnson Amendment” – the section of the tax code that prevents tax-exempt nonprofit organizations from endorsing or opposing candidates – would harm houses of worship, which are not identified or divided by partisan lines. Particularly in today’s political climate, engaging in partisan politics and issuing endorsements would be highly divisive and have a detrimental impact on congregational unity and civil discourse. I therefore urge you to oppose any repeal or weakening of the Johnson Amendment, thereby protecting the independence and integrity of houses of worship and other religious organizations in the charitable sector.

COMMENTS PAYMENT OF TAXES AS A CONDITION OF TITLE BY ADVERSE POSSESSION: A NINETEENTH CENTURY ANACHRONISM In California the basic statute governing the obtaining of title to land by adverse possession is section 325 of the Code of Civil Procedure.' This statute places California with the small minority of states that unconditionally require payment of taxes as a pre- requisite to obtaining such title. The logic of this requirement has been under continual attack almost from its inception.2 Some of its defenders state, however, that it serves to give the true owner notice of an attempt to claim his land adversely.' Superficially, the law in California today appears to be well settled, but litigation in which the tax payment requirement is a prominent issue continues to arise.

  • African American Reaction to Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation
    “God Is Settleing the Account”: African American Reaction to Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation HE WHITE MAN SEATED ACROSS THE ROOM was offering them a new life in a land of opportunity. Against the backdrop of TWashington’s sweaty August, in 1862, he told his five black guests from the District of Columbia about a temperate, welcoming place, with fine harbors, exotic flora and fauna, and vast reserves of minerals. “There is evidence of very rich coal mines,” he offered. Surely they—ministers, teachers, and a congressional messenger—could understand that whites (notwithstanding his own feelings) would never treat them as equals on American soil. “Your race are suffering, in my judgment, the greatest wrong inflicted on any people,” he told them. But he seemed more con- cerned with injuries to his own race: “See our present condition—the country engaged in war!—our white men cutting one another’s throats. But for your race among us, there could not be war.” He offered to finance their passage to a new home in a mountainous quarter of the Isthmus of Panama known as Chiriquí. The government had in hand a glowing report on everything from Chiriquí’s climate and coal to its value as a forward post of US influence in Central America. This article is adapted and expanded from our book Tasting Freedom: Octavius Catto and the Battle for Equality in Civil War America (Philadelphia, 2010). Other major sources include Eric Foner, The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery (New York, 2010); Kate Masur, “The African American Delegation to Abraham Lincoln: A Reappraisal,” Civil War History 56 (2010): 117–44; and numerous documents reviewed in C.

However, looking at the American economy these past two years, we know that there have been some pretty wild rides here as well and, unlike the amusement park, these rides don’t end after two minutes. The last year and a half of the Bush Administration was a terrifying freefall. Not necessarily because of the wrong decisions being made; it just seemed that no one was in charge. No one spoke up. No one acted. No one took responsibility and the economy seemed to careen closer to the edge of the cliff with every passing day. The only real option for whoever won the Presidential election was to actually do something. Our congregants and our community, like most other congregations and communities, have been deeply affected by the events of the past two years.

They describe "red flags." They discuss the hazards of trying to recover funds from failed investments. The sponsor of this website provides additional commentary. "[T]he penalties for financial ignorance have never been so stiff." --- The Ascent of Money (2008) by Niall Ferguson "Boom times are always accompanied by fraud. As the Victorian journalist Walter Bagehot put it: 'All people are most credulous when they are most happy; and when money has been made . there is a happy opportunity for ingenious mendacity.' ... Bagehot observed, loose business practices will always prevail during boom times. During such periods, the gatekeepers of the financial system -- whether bankers, professional investors, accountants, rating agencies or regulators -- should be extra vigilant. They are often just the opposite." (WSJ, 4/17/09, "A Fortune Up in Smoke") Our lengthy website contains an Index of Articles.
