Board of Directors Staff Working with communities to uphold the Bill of Rights Board of Directors January 27, 2011 Lisa Graves, President Attorney General Eric Holder Steve Abrams, Treasurer U.S. Department of Justice Allen Davis, Secretary 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Flavia Alaya Washington, DC 20530-0001 Glenn C. Devitt Dear Attorney General Holder, Kit Gage Jennifer S. Holmes We write to request that you address expanding abuses by the Federal Bureau of Investigation under the 2008 Attorney General’s Guidelines issued by your Gladys Limon predecessor. Despite our diverse political affiliations and interests, we agree that Joan Mandell federal law enforcement agencies should require (at least) individualized suspicion Chip Pitts of criminal activity before initiating investigatory activities. Staff In addition to a thorough analysis of the Bureau’s current operations and their impacts on civil rights and civil liberties, we also ask that you promulgate revised Shahid Buttar Executive Director Attorney General’s Guidelines to restore rights and liberties eroded by Attorneys Amy Ferrer General Mukasey in 2008 and Ashcroft in 2003. Beyond its governing policies, the Associate Director Bureau also remains in desperate need of institutional reform, including new George Friday leadership and new internal checks and balances to end the problems that have Field Organizer long undermined the Bureau’s legitimacy. Barbara Haugen The FBI has emerged as a recidivist institution, repeatedly violating the rights of law- Administrator abiding Americans en masse. As you know, the COINTELPRO era spanned decades Emma Roderick and reflected an aggressive campaign by the FBI until the 1970s to undermine civil Grassroots Campaign Coordinator rights organizations, like the NAACP, pursuing peaceful political activities protected by the First Amendment. Nor was the Bureau’s assault on the civil rights movement its first foray into criminalizing conduct that our Constitution protects: the program began by targeting labor organizers and political dissidents, and followed the previous Palmer Raids, which similarly vilified legions of Americans on the basis of their political views. In September 2010, a series of FBI raids targeting peace activists throughout the Midwest suggested that the Bureau is once again operating under unconstitutional policies. Their recurrence under your leadership could leave an enduring stain on your tenure, as well as that of the Obama administration, and offends fundamental American values shared across the political spectrum. 8 Bridge Street, Suite A • Northampton, MA 01060 • Tel: 413-582-0110 • Fax: 413-582-0116 • [email protected] • www.bordc.org The Bill of Rights Defense Committee is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Contributions are tax-deductible. The 2008 Mukasey Guidelines were the latest of several revisions to the original Guidelines issued in 1976 to end the abuses of COINTELPRO. The 2008 revisions allow individual agents discretion to use intrusive investigatory methods without any evidence suggesting that a crime has been committed, and even permit race, religion, or political speech to serve as factors justifying intrusive investigation. The Bureau’s ongoing “undisclosed participation” activities recall COINTELPRO’s abuses and even expand upon them. FBI agents, informants, and state and local law enforcement agents cooperating with them through Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF) have infiltrated faith institutions and activist groups advocating for causes as varied as pro-life or pro-choice stances on reproductive rights, environmental causes, opposition to racial bias pervading the criminal justice system, and foreign policy objectives. Even some of the legal standards governing these activities remain secret, despite repeated requests from the public and Members of Congress seeking greater transparency. FBI Director Robert Mueller delivered inaccurate testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee this summer, admitting after the hearing—in writing—that the Bureau’s surveillance activities are limited neither by evidence, nor even by suspicion. Mueller's admission confirms that agents are currently monitoring law-abiding Americans arbitrarily and potentially on the basis of constitutionally protected association, political speech, religion, national origin, or race. Inadequate transparency unfortunately pervades the Bureau’s operations. In at least three reports over the last four years (in 2007, 2008, and 2010), the Justice Department's Inspector General has documented rampant abuse of investigatory powers expanded by the PATRIOT Act—as well as further abuses of new powers invented by the FBI without congressional authorization. At a minimum, we request that you rescind the 2008 Mukasey Guidelines and issue new Guidelines to better respect constitutional rights. While considering the scope of reforms needed to protect civil rights and civil liberties, you should not grant the existing Guidelines artificial legitimacy, nor should the Bureau be afforded credibility that it has not only failed to earn, but also actively undermined. In the interim, new powers demanded by the FBI should be denied and its leadership should be replaced.

  • Momsrising HUD Book.Pdf
    Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity John Trasviña U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 451 7th Street S.W., Washington, DC 20410 Dear Assistant Secretary Trasviña, As you know all too well, there’s hardly a need more basic than shelter for our families. And when trying to rent or buy a home, everyone should get a fair shake. Unfortunately, many women and families in search of a home do not know their rights. And many lenders and landlords who figuratively – or even literally – “hold the keys” to a family’s new home are either ignorant of the laws prohibiting discrimination against mothers and families or worse, willfully disobeying them. All too often, mothers are discriminated against in our country in terms of hiring and wages, and housing dis- crimination on the basis of familial status are equally illegal and unacceptable. Your commitment to fighting this discrimination is an inspiration and MomsRising and our more than one mil- lion members (including mother, fathers, grandparents and guardians working to achieve economic security for American families) are proud to have partnered with you in that effort. In the last several months, MomsRising has heard from many credit-worthy pregnant women and mothers across the country who are being denied home loans or rentals apartments solely because they are on maternity leave or have children. You will find a selection of these heartbreaking and infuriating stories in this booklet. The members of MomsRising applaud HUD for your groundbreaking work to end housing discrimination against pregnant women and mothers. This booklet contains the names of over 14,000 mothers and their allies who have signed on to thank HUD and to urge the agency to continue to vigorously enforce fair housing laws as relates to mothers who seek to rent or buy a home.

George S. Patton, Jr. Pattern is controversy burned into film, a closeup portrayal of will under strain, of oversized figures, the tale of perhaps the most aggressive and flamboyant commander ever to wear an American uniform and his command relationship with cool-headed, courageous Omar N. Bradley, first his subordinate finally his superior and today the only surviving five-star general of World War II. Patton is the story of a warlord, a samurai, a millionaire soldier whose career reads like a fever chart, a man with flinty courage, big hurts and a scathing tongue, a superpatriot who was also anti-Establishment of another ilk. In the popular image the great commanders are dazzling figures, standing on their mounds at the edge of battle and guiding its cold currents and compulsive course, bending a million men to their will, mocking fear and death. They are unique characters to be sure, they are neither omnipotent nor omniscient, however, but bound by the elements of war. George S. Patton read history and quoted Seneca and Napoleon. He liberated more territory than any other Allied commander in World War II, was a proconsul of a a piece of African real estate he called a mixture of the Bible and Hollywood, yelled defiances against Field Marshal Edwin Rommel into the desert wind, slapped a common soldier and was demoted in a move that even dumbfounded Adolf Hitler.

THE MASQUERADE OF ABU GHRAIB: STATE CRIME, TORTURE, AND INTERNATIONAL LAW Dawn Rothe, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2006 On April 28, 2004, pictures of abuse and torture of Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib prison by U.S. military personnel shocked many Americans. In the wake of the images, it became clear that several military personnel were involved in the acts of torture and abuse. This dissertation explores the interconnections of larger structural factors, state policies, and individual actors in an attempt to understand how and why torture and abuse occurred at Abu Ghraib.
