    February 19, 2008 The Honorable Condoleezza Rice Secretary of State U.S. Department of State Washington, D.C. 20520 Dear Secretary Rice, The decision by Cuba's government to choose new leadership should be the occasion for a tough-minded review of U.S. policy. President Castro has departed from his office voluntarily. An orderly succession has occurred in Cuba, without violence or upheaval. The Cuban government, under a new leadership, is reportedly already considering changes in the economic arrangements on the island to give the Cuban people a long-sought improvement in their living standards. For five decades, U.S. policy has tried economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation to force changes in Cuba's government. These developments demonstrate that the policy has not worked. Allies and adversaries alike have rejected our approach and instead engage the Cuban government directly on diplomatic issues and make billions of dollars in economic investments on the island, making it even less likely that our sanctions will ever achieve their stated purpose. Our policy leaves us without influence at this critical moment, and this serves neither the U.S. national interest nor average Cubans, the intended beneficiaries of our policy. A complete review of U.S. policy is clearly in order now. This would send a useful signal to the Cuban people that we intend to engage with their government in new and positive ways, and also provide a new hearing for U.S. policy in many places around the region. After fifty years, it is time for us to think and act anew.

Michigan is the only state in the Midwest that still uses tax funds for this purpose. We believe Michigan's citizens shouldn't have to pay for elective abortions." Over the past 10 years, the Michigan Legislature has voted 17 times to end state funding of Medicaid abortions, but gubernatorial vetoes have allowed them to continue.

    ABSTRACT POLITICAL SCIENCE FITCH, CHANELL M. B.A. JOHN JAY COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, 2013 WHITE PRIVILEGE IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM: EXAMINING THE SHIFT IN MEDIA APPROACH TO THE WAR ON DRUGS Committee Chair: William Boone, Ph.D. Thesis dated July 2017 This study examines how the media has been used to perpetuate White privilege in the criminal justice system. The paper explores the shift in the media’s approach to drug epidemics depending on the demographic of drug users and how that shift in media influences the implementation of public policies. A policy analysis was used to examine the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 and the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 in order to understand the different approaches taken by politicians and how these approaches are reflective of biased media coverage. Based on this analysis, it is evident in the language and tone of each policy that White privilege remains a critical function of the criminal justice system.
