  • Ben Ali, Mubarak, Gadahfi, next Obama!

  • After 9,000 views and nearly 10,000 total views, JJJ file a bill!

  • Go Jesse Jackson, Jr., file the bill for statutory retroactivity TODAY!

  • Just think, Obama has yet to introduce his own legislative proposal to Congress for retroactivity!

  • How amusing and ironic for Donald Trump to discuss and inquire into Barack Obama's college grades that allowed him to get into Harvard Law School....yet Barack Obama was a member of the law firm that defended Rush Medical College...Rush defended themselves with a charge of academic reasons for Lewis's dismissal...even though Lewis had satisfactorily passed all of his courses in the first year of medical school.

  • There is a lot of truth...if you are poor and black...nobody cares about your story...if you are rich and black...they want to make sure the story tears you down.

  • President Obama, are we forget something or someone? Enough already..this issue is getting old and overlook...time to finally DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

  • Ben Ali, Mubarak, next Obama!

  • i feel his pain i am 27 and have been applying to law school for 6 years and have rejected all because i am black and poor and i can not get any help.

  • Roland Burris gets to stay in the Senate until November 29th...Senator Burris: introduce the bill in the lame duck session...right now!

  • Senator Roland Burris: THE TIME IS NOW AND THAT IS ALL THAT IS ACCEPTABLE!!!

  • Add Shirley Sherrod as tag

  • Time To GIVE BACK to Martin Lewis all that has been denied him right now! I WILL DO ALL THAT I CAN TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

  • RALLY FOR MARTIN LEWIS-- May 20th, 2010 at Federal Plaza 230 South Dearborn St. , Chicago, Illinois 60604--at 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.

    Rain or Shine!

    Petitioning President Obama and Senator Dick Durbin to make the 1991 Civil Rights Act "RETROACTIVE" so Martin Lewis can then revive his lawsuit to retrieve his "STOLEN" medical education of 27 years by Rush Medical College.

    Of which Martin failed no courses while White students cheated their way thru the school and are now practicing doctors.

  • What about the Civil Rights Act of 2010! Hello! President Obama, Senator Reid, Speaker Pelosi, are we missing something--RETROACTIVITY!

  • President Obama, now that Health Care Reform is over, it is time for RETROACTIVITY. Lets get going!

  • As you can see with the Jobs Bill, 5 Republicans can vote for cloiture...Retroactivity can be enacted now..Senator Roland Burris: introduce a bill now...you have the votes for passages..Senators Snowe and Collins of Maine will support it...get it done TODAY!

  • I am calling on the the Lord Jesus for help for this issue. I am putting my full faith & and trust in Jesus Christ to touch the hearts and minds of those that have no intention of seeing that Martin get any remedy for this thief of his career and education which is his property.

  • Where is the Justice Department when you need them?

  • I agree! This case should be priority # 1.

    But , where is simple justice? Are you lost?! Do you remember what you look like or how you should act or who you are?! Hello?! Hello?!

    To the Justice Department, can you hear me?! Can you hear me?!! Where are you? Hurry up, We need you!!!

  • Please be advised, in the 1990 Act, several Republicans left Bob Dole to vote for cloiture for a total of 61.

  • I can't stand black pols who turn their backs on the original constituency that put them there...and expect to run away with it!

  • Unbelievable, Roland Burris, the only African-American Senator and Barack Hussein Obama II, the only African-American President of the United States of America, can't find a way to introduce, sponsor, and manage a bill for retroactivity...and they wander why they lost Ted Kennedy's former seat in Massachusetts...this is why...not doing why they as supposed to be doing...the PEOPLE'S business, not theirs!

  • This is why black people don't have anything they deserve! Discriminators like Rush Medical College don't have anything to fear because of this type of protection by the "so- called Good Guys"!

    Discriminators are rejoicing.

    Illinois Democrats don't care about Illinois discriminated black people.

    This did not take any courage at all to not file the bill to rescue Martin!

  • I WILL FIGHT ON!!

  • It wasn't as if I did'nt tell you so, BUT I TOLD YOU SO...the 60 cloiture votes weren't going to last...I knew its half-life was not beyond October anyway.

  • Everyone call Senator Roland Burris' office to seek a bill at 202-224-2854 TODAY!

  • The etherial 60 cloiture votes will not last forever...DO RETROACTIVITY NOW, PRESIDENT OBAMA, CONGRESS--LET'S GET A BILL DONE TODAY!!!

  • President Obama: this 60 cloiture vote majortiy is not going to last beyond 2010...let get off your ass (and Congress' asses) and get retroactivity done now...I mean right away...TODAY!!!

  • President Obama, Senator Dick Durbin, Congressmen Bobby Rush, Danny Davis and Jesse Jackson Jr.,

    Do you know what "Do The Right Thing Is?"

    How long must Martin Wait and Suffer for you to return what is his that this government stole from him?

  • Obama is nothing more than Mel Reynolds super-glorified...and we know what happened to Mel Reynolds...he lost his home in the end. Goodbye, Kenwood!

  • President Obama: If you can sign Hate Crime legislation for Matthew Shepard's family, you can do retroactivity for the 1991Civil Rights Act. YES YOU CAN!!!

  • The U.S. Justice Department. On Civil Rights Division needs to investigate Rush Medical College about this injustice on Martin Lewis. Eric Holder look into this case! Martin Lewis deserves restitution now, like today!

  • President Obama: You cannot accept a Nobel Peace Prize and not try to live up to it (in comparison to other historical figures who have one it, e.g. Nelson Mandela) and not do this: RETROACTIVITY FOR THE 1991 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT for pending 42 U.S.C. Section 1981 claims pending on the date of enactment AND meritious claims entered BEFORE the Patterson v. McClean decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in June, 1989. Stop putting other social agendas in front, and calling it "civil rights" directive.

  • Time is running out on a 60-vote majority in the Senate for cloiture...and on Obama himself (one termer) ...LET'S GET THIS DONE RIGHT AWAY...AND STOP BLAMING THE VICTIM!

  • President Obama, you said that the people seek justice, Martin Lewis seeks and deserves simple justice. And Martin is an American.  Give him the support he deserves now with a a bill for RETROACTIVITY FOR THE 1991 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT! Now Sir!

  • PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Now since you've won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, I thnk the least you can do now is SUPPORT A BILL RIGHT NOW FOR RETROACTIVITY FOR THE 1991 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. NO EXCUSES NOW!

  • Health Care is over with...time for a bill for retroactivity...it will pass!

  • I wholeheartedly agree! Let's get on with it!

  • MARTIN, "MR. CIVIL RIGHTS" SEN. TED KENNEDY HAS DIED, BUT WE MUST PRESS ONWARD INSPITE OF. YOU WILL PREVAIL IN THE END. YOU WILL WIN. I WILL CONTINUE TO HELP YOU. YOUR BROTHER, MARCUS.

    The Truth wins out in the end. Always.

  • Statutory Retroactivity is far more realistic for passage in Congress now than any thing Obama will deal with in Health Care Reform...President Obama, it's time to get this done...YES, YOU CAN!!!

  • Pres. Obama and Sen Durbin, Martin requests that you meet with him to remedy this terrible wrong and restore his rightful property back to him which is his court-action against Rush Medical College.

    Introduce a bill in this Congress, pass it, and sign it into law. Do this now!

  • Getting the 1991 Civil Rights Act "APPLIED" to Martin's Case is the last step.

  • Statutory Retroactivity must be a stand-alone private bill, President Obama--introduce it in Congress right away!!!

  • After nearly 8,000 views on this website and others with several screen names, still a great video and a relevant and timely issue of our society TODAY. President Obama and now the 111th Congress, act expediently on new legislation on this important matter and inform the annals of federal law that this type of racial and sexual discrimination and harassment must not still go unpunished! Especially after 24 years! Absolutely incredible in America! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

  • I BELEIVE GOD! I AM NOT GIVING UP AT ALL!

  • Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr.: welcome to the club!

  • Obama, get off your ass and do something about it!

  • Time for Action.

  • President Obama, WHAT'S THE DEAL...Am I missing something here...what is your problem...let's not be tone deaf about this issue.

  • President Barack Obama, stop stalling...yes, the economy, but now while you're at it, civil rights...you're still a black man even if you don't want to act like it or be bother with blacks personally or professionally in the Oval Office.

  • President Obama, NOW ! IT'S MARTIN'S TURN...AFTER 23 YEARS...

    MAKE THE 1991 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT "RETROACTIVE" TO HIS CASE !

  • President Barack Obama, stop waiting time,,,GET THIS DONE NOW!

  • Now since you're in, it's time to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

  • President-Elect Obama, Now is the time! Remedy this Now! INTRODUCE, PASS AND SIGN INTO LAW RETROACTIVE LANGUAGE FOR MARTIN TO GET JUSTICE IN THIS CASE NOW! NOT NEXT MONTH, NOT NEXT YEAR...BUT NOW!!!

    THE WAITING GAME IS OVER! MARTIN HAS SUFFERED FOR TOO LONG OVER RUSH MEDICAL COLLEGE'S EVIL FOOLISHNESS!

    HELP NOW! LIKE YESTERDAY...PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!

  • President-elect Barack Obama: we know the economy and energy are number 1 priorities, but at the same time get this issue resolved with a bill for statutory retroactivity which you will sign to get this out of the way FIRST!

  • President-elect Barack Obama...just do it!... and get Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid (get those 60 cloiture votes in the Senate) to do it do...and fast!...I mean REAL fast!

  • President-elect Obama make this issue a priority of your transtion agenda for legislation on the calendar of the 1st session of the 111th Congress in January, 2009.

  • I hope President-elect Barack Obama now wastes no time in proposing statutory retroactivity so Congress can voice vote a bill for him to sign on January 21, 2009.

  • A bill for statutory retroactivity for the 1991 Civil Rights Act must be presented as a legislative proposal to the 111th Congress by President-elect Barack Obama as soon as January 21, 2009.

  • It is now time for Barack Obama to introduce as President under Article II, Section III of the Constitution a bill.

  • President-Elect Obama.

    You have obtained what you sought out for, now it is time to give Martin Lewis what he seeks for and deserves--RETROACTIVITY TO THE 1991 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. (that your former lawfirm helped Rush Medical College steal from him...) so he may get back his stolen medical career. This is the tool (law) he needs now and the justice so-longed denied him.

  • I am happy to learn of the introduction and sponsorship of the Civil Rights Act of 2008, H.R.5129 in the U.S. House of Representatives, and S.2554 in the U.S. Senate, after a 17-year hiatus from civil rights legislation, Congress, indeed a Democratically-controlled one, has decided that there is new and unfinished business in this annal of American law--now would they all pursue an amendment(1st degree in the Senate; in the nature of a substitute in the House; rider) for statutory retroactivity.

  • NOW! BARACK NOW! RESCUE MARTIN NOW!!!

  • Sen. Obama, bailout Martin Lewis!...Introduce and Pass Retroactivity to the 1991 Civil Rights Act!

    This is a MAINSTREET ISSUE!

  • Senator Barack Obama...It is high time to help rescue fellow Illinoisan Martin Lewis and institute the justice he so long deserves. Introduce and pass Retroactivity to 1991 Civil Rights Act.

  • Sen Obama, you voted yea to give 'RETROACTIVE' IMMUNITY to the Telecoms that spied on Americans here...giving these companies and their executives "TOTAL LEGAL IMMUNITY...RETROACTIVELY!!!!

    Sen. Obama, when does Martin Lewis get 'RETROACTIVITY TO THE 1991 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT'?!

    Will Martin get the justice he has been waiting for, for 24 years and counting?!

    Is it because Martin is poor and black...a group that you don't relate to nor care about.

    And you call yourself "RESPONSIBLE"!

  • Sen. Obama...Right this terrible wrong that your lawfirm defended for Rush Medical College...Undo this evil event...

    Sen. Obama, you, personally was given the proof on Father's Day, June 15th, 2008.

    It is time to do the right and honorable thing towards Martin...Right this terrible wrong done to him...

    The Holy Bible says, " Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people."

    It is time for righteousness for Martin E. Lewis...

    Also, Lord Jesus...Have Mercy on Martin!

  • Sen. Obama, Martin needs "RETROACTIVITY" to the 1991 Civil Rights Act.

    George Galland LIED! He knows Martin has the proof-- that his classmate Susan Crisfase-(Lin) received 3-4 extra make-ups every quarter every year for 2 years and Rush knew and assisted her.

    Martin must be helped regain his case in court to get justice denied him.

    Martin needs this type of "CHANGE"! NOT the customary solution such as "from here on" type of solution

    Don't forget Martin "Also" is an American, Sen. Obama.

  • Sen. Obama, HELP MARTIN REGAIN HIS MEDICAL EDUCATION & THE MONETARY DAMAGES HE DESERVES FOR ALL THE SUFFERING HE HAS WRONGFULLY ENDURED FOR 23 YEARS. THIS IS THE "RESPONSIBLE" THING TO DO.

    HELPING SOMEONE ELSE IS THE PROPER THING TO DO.

  • but that law firm only represented business interest in civil rights cases as defendants, not plaintiffs.

  • Obama can know now...its on you tube.

    And Obama should help "Change" Martin's plight directly contacting Martin himself. Take Martin "OFF" of "Gilligans Island and bring him back to his destined future with monetary damages...that's what you give those "FALSELY HELD BACK" as in this case.

    Now, that is "Change" I can beleive in!

  • You are simply missing the point TOTALLY! If your candidate is so much for "Change" as he says he is then what about Martin Lewis' plight and the solution needed to get the remedy he deserves which is his career and monetary damages for what Rush Medical College did to him.

    Or is "Change" really just political "pyscho-babble"--sounds good but means nothing...example, giving a hungry person a picture of a plate of food and telling him to be full.

    Either "Change" is...or it's fantasy.

  • Come on Change Candidate...CHANGE HOW MARTIN HAS BEEN TREATED AFTER 23 YRS OF HAVING THE PROOF OF THIS MATTER AND BEING HELD BACK FROM PRESENTING IT IN A COURT OF LAW PROPERLY BY BEING ALLOWED TO USE THE 1991 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT SO HE CAN HAVE THE LAST ROADBLOCK REMOVED TO PROVE HIS CASE OF RACE DISCRIMINATION AT RUSH MEDICAL SCHOOL IN CHICAGO!

    IF YOU WON'T HELP HIM THEN BUSH DOES GET A "3rd TERM! NO CHANGE OF THE 1989 US SUP CT DESC, OR BUSH 41's VETO, OR THE LACK OF RETROACTIVITY IN 1991 CRA.

  • Why is it that Obama supporters act like the "Change" He talks about, BUT has absolutly NO definition? Can you tell me if YOU know?!

    How about "Change" means "JUSTICE!" for a CHANGE.

  • If a Supreme Court case that was wrongly decided, CHANGE IT!...

    If whites cheated thru med school, practicing their ill-gotten craft, making 6 & 7 figures with the full knowledge of the med school but a this black man found out, has the proof from their files fhru discovery in court but is held back short of winning the case because this Senator would rather step on him to be President than do the right thing!

    His Staff was chosen by Him and reflect Him and His views...CHANGE MEANS DTRT!

  • Did you bother to actually follow the story? did you bother to read the "about this video"?

    My friend, this man, Martin Lewis uncovered that white students were allowed to cheat their way thru med school by getting more make ups than the school policy permittted. Blacks on the other hand were held back and not given this unfair advantage.

    Obama's tie to this is that his law firn wa the one that defended against blacks that tried to expose this behavior. Obama was there at the time.

  • And now, when we approached Obama's Senate Office with this info for help...they LOVED the case TILL they looked down and saw it was the Senator own lawfirm, they told us to "get the hell out of his (Chicago Senate/on Dearborn) Office and said "You're not foing to try and stop the Senator from becoming President with this issue!" This was in July 2006.

  • To The World: "Justice" is the one ingredient that Martin sorely needs right this minute!... Why can't he have it?

  • Sen. Obama, restore and compenstate to Martin Lewis what your client Rush Medical College stole from him. If you call yourself wanting to be President for all the people then that includes Martin too.

  • sorry for my comment i udestand the issue now... Obama please help....

  • Senator Obama, you speak of change and fairness for all, my question to you is, why won't you help this man? He is from your state. I understand the problem here. Why does he have to beg you for help? If you don't help this man then I am sorry to say you are just all talk.

  • Senator Kennedy,

    Please come and aid Martin Lewis...he needs Retroactivity to the 1991 Civil Act so he can restore his case in Federal Court for his medical education Rush Medical College in Chicago stole from him in 1985.

    After 14 years of waiting for this moment, Please introduce legislation and pass Retroactivity for Martin's case.

    Sen. Kennedy, you know the issue personally...Please come and rescue Martin!

  • SENATOR OBAMA,

    RONALD REAGAN'S U.S. SUPREME COURT IN 1989 did their part to PUT MARTIN IN THIS SHAPE!

    YOU & YOUR LAW FIRM DID YOUR PART MAKING SURE THE COURT'S DECISIONS WERE APPLIED TO MARTIN'S CASE AND STAYED ON HIS CASE!

    YOUR IGNORING AN INNOCENT MAN, MARTIN LEWIS, IS UNGODLY!... BY KEEPING HIM IN THIS SHAPE!...

    YOU KNOWINGLY PROTECT A RACIAL DISCRIMINATOR!

    YOUR PRAISE OF REAGAN TELLS US WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

    BUT LEAVING MARTIN BEHIND IS AS CRUEL AS THE GRAVE!

  • Senator Obama, your law firm DAVIS, BARNHILL, MINER & GALLAND & you as its Jr. partner, had a major hand in PUTTING & KEEPING Martin in this situation! You all knew from the start Rush had changed Martin's grades from pass to fail while Rush allowed his white classmates unlimited make-up exams to cheat their way through...YOU NEED TO SET MARTIN FREE BY FILING A BILL IN CONGRESS APPLYING THE 1991 CIVIL RIGHTS ACT TO Martin's CASE SO HE CAN TODAY RECEIVE JUSTICE, SIR! This is the "REAL" CHANGE!

  • Senator Obama, Martin is YOUR Illinois constiuent...Why won't you come to his aid and help him! Where are you?!

  • "JUSTICE" is the "Change" that is needed at this time...Senator Obama, apply to Martin Lewis of Chicago, the 1991 Civil Rights Act so he may receive the long-delayed & long-denied "JUSTICE" that will be the "Change" for "Real"!

  • When is the help coming?

  • I passed all of the exams without a problem. The problem, as the video shows, grades were changed from passes to failures, by Rush Medical College, nothing new for the school. Thus, the case in court up to the Supreme Court.

  • Superb video!!!

  • Excellent video!
