Thursday, New York Congressman Gary Ackerman (D-NY) released a statement asking President Obama to recognize the contributions of slaves who built the White House. This request comes two years after Congress acknowledged the efforts of those who worked tirelessly to build the Capital building with plaques in the new Emancipation Hall and the galleries outside of both the Senate and House chambers.
After one of his constituents urged him to look into the contribution of slaves in the construction of the White House, Rep. Ackerman said he found their omission to be offensive.
“It was a shameful omission that visitors to the Capitol could tour the building to learn its history but not learn that slave labor was used in its construction,” Rep. Ackerman said in a statement. “I’m proud Congress took action to correct this failure and I now urge the White House follow suit.” FULL STORY

On April 26, 2012, several defendants could be sent to prison for what they did outside a government facility on November 29th last year, prior to the police arriving and catching them in the act. Sounds like a gang of terrorists caught red-handed, doesn’t it? But words, like appearances, can be deceiving. These were no terrorists. And they weren’t gangsters either.…

My Prosecution - On May 1st, 2012 I go on trial in Burlington County Superior Court before Judge Delehey. In most cases a defendant is told not to talk about the case, the facts and follow attorney advice to keep quiet. In my case I refuse to keep quiet, I’m telling the facts and I’m representing myself. While most defendants are afraid; I’m looking forward to…

Most Philadelphians believe that violent crime is the city’s biggest problem. As a result, you might think severe punishment for anyone who illegally possesses a gun—regardless of whether the person committed a separate non-violent crime with it—is part of the solution. Mere unlawful possession, you’d argue, is enough to warrant mandatory imprisonment. No probation. No fine.…
