Worker's Rights - Take Back The Courts

Patricia Garrett was transferred and demoted from her job as supervising nurse at the University of Alabama's Medical Center hospital after being treated for breast cancer, even though she could still perform her job well. Ms. Garrett took her employer to court. In University of Alabama v. Garrett, the Supreme Court ruled that states were exempt from civil rights law, even when they were guilty of violating their employees' civil rights. The decision slammed the doors of justice shut for Ms. Garrett and millions of Americans with disabilities.

This clip is part of a video made by award-winning documentarian Stanley Nelson, which exposes the negative consequences of a federal judiciary that is increasingly opposed to civil rights protections. Mr. Nelson puts a human face on what has come to be known as the "rollback" of civil rights. The full film is 22 minutes and is an excellent teaching tool for those interested in educating friends, family, and neighbors about these issues.

Social Security is not for those of us that have paid into it for 40 or 50 years it is for those that have never worked or folks that are not citizens. The reason SS is being weaned away from those that paid 10s and hundreds of thousands into the fund is so corporate america can suppliment cheap labor and not have to pay them as much. Black america and white america wake up wall street owns congress and senate and they got their hands on SS.

This vid is right. My cripple sister can't even get ssi, but they give it to illegals. We HAVE to take it back mainly thru the courts. But in order to do that, we need reps in there that will help.
