The Administration and the House leadership worked hard to derail the amendment. In a letter circulated by Rep. Jim Kolbe (R, AZ), US Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky claimed that the amendment was unnecessary and expressed her strong opposition to it. Deputy Secretary of State Stuart Eizenstat spent most of the day yesterday calling on Democratic Members of Congress to oppose the amendment. In this lobbying, Eizenstat was greatly helped by the fact that the House Republican leadership delayed the vote on the amendment and restricted debate on the House floor. To read the debate on the amendment, search the Congressional Record for August 5, 1998 online at http://thomas.loc.gov/home/r105query.html. The Kucinich amendment is amendment #49 to the DEPARTMENTS OF COMMERCE, JUSTICE, AND STATE, AND JUDICIARY, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1999 Thank You! The office of Rep.

Kucinich's office received dozens of emails, faxes and phone calls from people all over the country who worked to gain support for this amendment. The Administration has won a pyrrhic victory. The Administration has denied that it would sue a state or local authority whose laws allegedly violate WTO agreements. Consequently, the Administration has now made it virtually politically impossible to take that action against cities and states in the future. Although it narrowly missed passage, this amendment has helped send a powerful message to the Administration that it should safeguard state and local laws against pressure from the WTO.

The bill would require schools and libraries receiving federal Internet subsidies to install filtering software designed to prevent children from accessing "inappropriate" material. The ACLU, EFF and EPIC are sponsoring an online campaign to oppose this measure. By visiting any of the following links, you can send faxes -- free of charge! -- to your two Senators: http://www.aclu.org/congress/cybmarch.html http://www.eff.org/blueribbon/ http://www.epic.org/free_speech/action/ BACKGROUND On March 12, the Senate Commerce Committee approved the "Internet School Filtering Act" (S. 1619). The bill would require schools and libraries receiving federal "e-rate" Internet subsidies to certify that they are using filtering software designed to prevent minors from accessing "inappropriate" material. The filtering bill could come to the Senate floor as early as the week of May 11. The bill raises serious constitutional questions. In a decision issued on April 7, a federal judge in Virginia rejected an effort to dismiss a challenge to Internet filtering at a public library, finding that "the Library Board may not adopt and enforce content-based restrictions on access to protected Internet speech" unless it meets the highest level of constitutional scrutiny. Several studies have found that a great amount of valuable educational material is blocked by filtering programs. Some filtering systems even block access to web sites created by elementary schools for elementary school children. Filtering requirements are inconsistent with the goal of providing our children a rich educational experience and, when mandated by government, violative of the First Amendment. Many local communities have decided that the best approach is one that emphasizes acceptable use policies and Internet education programs. They have rejected the use of filtering software as ineffective and contrary to educational objectives. They've decided to instill values rather than install filters. Tell Congress to leave this issue to local communities, and not to mandate a federal, one-size-fits-all filtering requirement.

The Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, with little advance warning, has scheduled a vote on so called "Private Property Rights" legislation for Monday, March 30 at 10:30AM. We urgently need Senators to get calls, faxes, and e-mail messages opposing these proposals immediately. For specifics about the proposed bills, read on... PROPERTY RIGHTS BILL PACKAGE INTRODUCED IN SENATE Rebuffed previously for their extreme "takings" legislation in previous legislative sessions, private property rights advocates have changed their focus. Their new bills would make the development of new environmental regulations much more difficult by creating an expensive, burdensome analysis requirement, limiting new regulations to be no more stringent than minimum federal requirements, and significantly increasing the amount of attorney=92s fees property owners can recovery if successful in litigation. Senator Roger Madigan (R, Lycoming) is the prime sponsor of all three bills. He has previously introduced a "takings=92 bill and legislation to weaken wetlands protection. Both previous proposals failed to gain passage as a result of opposition from environmentalists, local governments, sportsmen and agency officials. THE NEW MADIGAN PROPERTY RIGHTS PROPOSALS INCLUDE: SB 1248-extends the right to recover legal fees to private property owners in takings cases. It also increases the amount of such compensation from $10,000 to $50,000. SB1249-requires a "takings" analysis to be performed by the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC). This analysis would be in addition to all the other reviews undertaken to reduce regulatory requirements for business by the IRRC. In this case IRRC would be required to analyze the impact of new regulations on every property owner potentially affected by a new regulation. IRRC would be expected to evaluate each property to determine if the remaining uses after a new regulation is enacted are "unreasonable such that the property owner bears a disproportionate share of a burden imposed for the good of the public." The effect of SB1249 would be to paralyze the regulatory development process, while the IRRC would be required to expend enormous amounts of staff time (and taxpayer=92s dollars) in what could be an open-ended analysis process. SB1250-is the "no more stringent than" bill which would codify the Ridge Administration=92s roll back of environmental regulations. It also requires a cost/benefit analysis and gives special emphasis to the costs associated with complying. The overarching theme of SB1250 is that Pennsylvanians don=92t deserve any greater protection that what is afforded by minimum federal requirements. This "no more stringent than federal regulations" says that the federal "floor of protection" (below which we are prohibited from going) will be PA=92s ceiling. This philosophy implies that bureaucrats in Washington know better than Pennsylvanians what=92s right for our people and environment. SB1248, SB1249 SB1250 have all been referred to the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee, which is chaired by the bills=92 prime sponsor, Senator Madigan. The bills have a significant number of cosponsors (19,21,21 respectively), indicating somewhat strong initial support. The "Wise Use" Movement is gearing up for a major push for private property rights legislation this spring, so public opposition of these proposals will be important. WHAT YOU CAN DO: Please contact your Senator and urge opposition to SB1248, SB1249, SB1250. Explain that private

Below, please find the answers those questions. Now that it was passed out of the House Judiciary Committee, what's next? Currently the bill is not "scheduled" for a floor vote, but that could change any day. Some coalition observers speculate that leadership will bring this up in the next two weeks. What is the Actual Text of the Bill : ``To secure the people's right to acknowledge God according to the dictates of conscience, neither the United States nor any state shall establish any official religion, but the people's right to pray and to recognize their religious beliefs, heritage or traditions on public property, including schools, shall not be infringed. The government shall not require any person to join in prayer or other religious activity, prescribe school prayers, discriminate against religion, or deny equal access to a benefit on account of religion.'' What will this Bill really do? The true intent of the misnamed Religious Freedom Amendment, (HJR 78) is to promote state-sponsored school prayer by weakening the protections against state sponsored coercion in government institutions like public schools, the armed forces, and the criminal justice system.

FW: URGENT ACTION REQUESTED
-- From: mrobinson To: UCS_LIST Subject: URGENT ACTION REQUESTED Date: Tuesday, March 03, 1998 10:18AM March 3, 1998 To: UCS activists From: Michelle Robinson, UCS Transportation Program Senate Debate happening now on Federal Transportation Bill (ISTEA) - URGENT ACTION REQUESTED Issue: The federal transportation bill (S. 1173), known as the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) was brought to the Senate floor unexpectedly for debate and votes at the end of last week. Debate is expected to continue this week with key amendments expected to come up over the next couple of days. Since its passage in 1991, ISTEA has enabled local governments and citizens around the country to make cleaner, safer transportation choices. For the first time, federal transportation dollars could be shifted away from more highway development to projects which reduced air pollution and increased public access to efficient, affordable transportation alternatives. Several amendments are expected that would cripple or rollback the environmental and local community control elements of ISTEA. Action: Call or e-mail your Senators today to express your support for ISTEA 2 (S. 1173) Urge them to retain ISTEA's decision making structure and strong environmental programs and to oppose any amendments (see details below) that would gut the environment and transit programs in ISTEA 2 The Capitol Switchboard number is 202-224-3121. Background: The most important piece of environmental transportation legislation at the federal level in 1998 will be the reauthorization of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). ISTEA fundamentally changed the way federal transportation funds were allocated and spent - shifting the focus from constructing highways to a more balanced transportation system that included bike and pedestrian access, public transit, road maintenance, and allowed more local control and community input. Finally, cleaner, more efficient and environmentally sustainable transportation projects could compete with highway and car-oriented projects. UCS has been working for over a year with a national coalition working to preserve and strengthen ISTEA. Powerful industry associations, including the highway interests, AAA, and the auto and oil industries are lobbying hard this week to dismantle the progressive provisions and environmental protections built into ISTEA 2. It is critical that Senators hear from their constituents that the highway and asphalt interests should not dictate transportation funding for their communities. Major Threats: Senate leaders announced an agreement yesterday to add $28 billion over six years to the proposed funding levels under ISTEA 2 (S.1173) of $145 billion for the six year reauthorization of ISTEA. None of these new funds will be given to transit. This agreement ignores the historical precedent, established under the Reagan administration in 1981, to give at least 20% of any new transportation spending increases to mass transit. One third of the new funding will go to special road projects, like Senator Byrd's (D-WV) Appalachian Roads Program (including West Virginia's controversial Corridor H highway) and NAFTA Trade Corridor and Border Infrastructure highway building programs. The remaining two thirds of the new money will be spread across ISTEA program categories, excluding transit. This funding proposal unfairly impacts public transit, local control, and the environment. There are several amendments expected that would undermine the goals of ISTEA and would gut its environmental programs. 1. Anti-transit amendments: Senators Lauch Faircloth (R-NC) and Tim Johnson (D-SD) are offering amendments which would slash transit funding. Under their proposal, communities would receive transit funding based on how much driving was done instead of how much transit was used or needed. For more details on this visit the American Public Transit Association's website at http://www.apta.com or call 202-898-4000. 2. Anti-enhancements amendment: Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) has an anti-local control amendment that would allow state Departments of Transportation to opt out of the enhancements program. This program is the source of support for popular bike and recreation trails and community-building projects around the country. 3. Making highway building eligible for CMAQ funds: Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) is expected to introduce an amendment to allow state Departments of Transportation to shift scarce dollars dedicated to projects which reduce air pollution into highway widening projects. This might provide temporary relief of congestion but would worsen air pollution problems. The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program is the primary program channeling federal funds into transportation projects which will lessen, not worsen, the environmental and public health impact of transportation.

SPECIAL ALERT: Istook Amendment On House Fast Track A Religious Right-backed constitutional amendment that critics say would remove church-state separation from the Bill of Rights may face a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives as early as next month. The so-called "Religious Freedom Amendment," introduced by Rep. Ernest Istook (R-Okla.), has already cleared the House Constitution Subcommittee. As "Church State" went to press, a vote was pending in the full Judiciary Committee; from there, the amendment would go to the floor of the House for an up-or-down vote. The Christian Coalition's "Religious Rights Watch" reported in January that Istook expects a vote on H.J.Res. 79 in March. The Coalition is asking its members to call their representatives and urge them to support the proposal, which has 146 cosponsors. Americans United Executive Director Barry W. Lynn has sent AU members an urgent appeal also asking them to call their representatives in the House and urge a vote against the amendment. Lynn said time is short, so AU members should call, fax or e-mail their representatives rather than write. (The House switchboard number is 202-224-3121.) Opponents insist the Istook Amendment would allow coercive prayer and religious worship in public schools, require Government at all levels to give tax aid to religious groups and permit government to "recognize ... religious beliefs, heritage or traditions on public property." Observed Lynn, "This amendment would obliterate church- state separation in one stroke. It must be stopped."

It is also the first airline to adopt a written non-discrimination policy covering sexual orientation in its employment practices. An unusual joint letter was released to the media on Friday, March 14th from the Family Research Council, Concerned Women of America, American Family Association and Coral Ridge Ministries. Radical right leader Beverly LaHaye also went on Christian "talk radio" on Friday to blast American Airlines because "American's sponsorship of homosexual 'pride' events constitutes an open endorsement of promiscuous homo-sexuality." She and the other groups have written Bob Crandall at American to complain that the airline has "gone beyond mere tolerance" of gays and lesbians. The full article appeares in Friday's Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and possibly picked up by other newspapers around the country. American Airline's switchboard and e-mails are being bombarded now by homophobic and hateful callers who have been urged by LaHaye and others to DEMAND the company terminate its gay-friendly policies. WHAT YOU CAN DO At the end of this note is a petition supporting American Airlines' stance on gay rights.

[PEN-L:9747] FW: April 30 In U.S. College History
-- Bulletin Board: Message Board Message Subject: April 30 In U.S. College History Posted By: MCKIERNAN, STEVE Message Number: 23-1 Let us never forget what April 30 means in the history of higher education. During these times when history is forgotten or seems to have little impact, if known, on today's youth, let us not forget that on April 30, 1970, President Nixon announced to the American public that the Cambodian invasion was in process. This announcement led to an increase in massive protest on college campuses which led directly to student deaths on May 4 at Kent State and several days later at Jackson State. We must never forget those six students who died on American soil. We must never forget what led to their deaths, and we must always remember that these deaths were the result of strong divisions in a society , divisions that are still strong today, but for different reasons. No, I am not lost in a time warp, but we often overlook important dates in higher education. Yes, it is nice to remember the good times, which is most times, but college students should know that what happened at Tiananmen Square in 1989 did indeed happen on American soil only nineteen years earlier. As an administrator, I always remember this date along with May 4 in my memories of life in higher education. All college students should know these six student names not because of the tragedy, but because of the lessens learned from this tragedy. In this era when civility and community is a goal within most university environments, let us make sure that people like Sandy Scheuer (one of the slain students at Kent State) are not our own students due to lack of communication or divisions within our midst. Remember, the divisions at that time were obvious. They are more subtle today, and, this is more dangerous. What happened at Kent State and Jackson State were the result of poor communication between administration/students/elected officials/public safety/police and the public at large. Though this event seems lost in time, it should be remembered by all universities for the lessons learned. The lesson learned is division can lead to violence where communication is lost. Maybe someday universities will pay tribute to the six students who died twenty-seven years ago in remembrance of their lost potential, lost hopes, lost dreams and lost opportunities to be positive change agents in society. In my own small way, I wanted to remember them on April 30 because what happened on this day led to their deaths in the days that followed. We must always remember how precious all student lives are, especially in linkage with this important date in the history of higher education, and, in fact, the history of this nation. Remember, these students may have been fathers and mothers. And, their children would be college students today. And with each student we have the potential to witness positive change agents for the betterment of the society and the world at large. I hope millions of boomers are remembering these six deaths in 1970, and that this tragedy has been shared with their sons and daughters, the college students of today.

Subject: FW: Workers Memorial Day 1997 Date: Friday, April 11, 1997 12:27PM -- Bulletin Board: AFSCME Message Subject: Workers Memorial Day 1997 Posted By: WILSON, CAROL A. Message Number: 26-1 On April 28, 1997, AFSCME and the unions of the AFL-CIO will once again observe Workers Memorial Day. This day has been set aside since 1989 as a special day in memory of workers who have been killed or injured on the job. But this day is more than a remembrance; it is also a time to renew our fight for strong safety and health protections. This Workers Memorial Day we are fighting to "Stop the Pain" from repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) and back injuries caused by ergonomic hazards. Each year more than 700,000 workers suffer from these injuries, making them the nation's biggest job safety problem. Virtually every industry and occupation is affected. But it doesn't have to be that way. Programs have been implemented in some workplaces that have reduced RSIs and back injuries. Yet some employer groups and some Congressional Republicans are continuing their efforts to stop OSHA from issuing an ergonomics standard that could prevent these injuries. These efforts must be stopped. On Workers Memorial Day, we must send a strong message to congress, employers and the public that workers and union are fighting back and demanding protection against RSIs and all workplace injuries and illnesses. This message was sent from Jordan Barab at AFSCME Department of Research -- Bulletin Board: AFSCME Message Subject: Workers Memorial Day - 2 Posted By: WILSON, CAROL A. Message Number: 28-1 This Year on Workers Memorial Day (April 28) the University Flag will be flown at half mast in honor of all Americans who have been killed or injured on the job. I sincerely hope that every one of you take a minute to think about this and to think about what it has cost someone you know or perhaps even yourself. Many of us are being injured simply by sitting at a computer or by doing repetitive work. Our supervisors don't think there is anything wrong with us because we are not in a plaster cast and you can't see anything wrong. But cumulative trauma disorders are the largest growing problem in the American workforce today with over 700,000 injuries being reported each year. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says the number of CTD cases increased by 10 times over the last decade and now account for more than 60% of all reported illnesses. The signs of pain and discomfort can be seen in many offices; with computer operators popping pain killers, applying heat, using eye drops, and taking other medications to get rid of their aches and pains. Also , a growing number of workers have had medical restrictions placed on their duties by a medical professional. Yes, the Information Age has certainly arrived; and tremendous energy and creativity have been unloosed in order to find new applications for computers. Unfortunately, much less attention has been paid to the effects these machines are having on those who work with them. Carol Wilson

"Some go and some come, but the best survive and you= =20 become more competitive."=20 Mr. Chr=E9tien's comments here appeared designed to anticipate attacks =20 from Conservative Leader Jean Charest that he and the Liberal party once = =20 opposed the free trade agreement with the U.S.=20 The Tories issued a list of questions for the prime minister yesterday i= n =20 which Mr. Chr=E9tien's flip-flop on the issue is called "opportunistic," = though a =20 "good thing."=20 Mr. Chr=E9tien told his Washington audience that his trade missions to =20 Asia taught him to be confident that Canadians will prosper as the countr= y =20 moves to expand its trading relations in Latin America and the Asia-Pacif= ic.=20 "I'm not pessimistic about the 21st century because you have one billion= =20 200 million people in China and =8A they will develop a middle class; the= y will =20 need to buy all sorts of products and both you and I will be there sellin= g.=20 "We (Canada) can sell them North American technology even in =20 French."=20 Mr. Chr=E9tien said establishing trade and political links with Asian =20 countries is the biggest challenge facing Canada and the U.S. He noted th= at =20 already five of Canada's 10 largest trading partners are in Asia.=20 Mr. Chr=E9tien also had assurances for the 600,000 anglophones living in= =20 Quebec, urging them not to abandon the province in fear, saying their rig= hts =20 will be protected by the federal government.=20 "Quebec is their province and they should stay there," he said.
