Submitted by diannevalentin on Sat, 02/02/2008 - 8:08pm.Atlanta, Georgia February 1, 2008
On February 19, 2008 Atlanta WAND will be presenting its 6th Annual Real State of the Union with Jay Bookman and Reverend Dr. Joseph E. Lowery. Jay Bookman will be giving his talk on the “real” state of the union and Dr. Lowery will be responding to Jay’s talk. This year Jay's talk will be around the theme: Chickens Coming Home to Roost.
Each year the talk and response have been more interesting, enlightening, and timely. With the state that our country is in as we move into the final stages of the current administration, we anticipate this year’s event will be even more interesting, enlightening, and timely.
The event is brought to you by Atlanta WAND and hosted this year by Rev. Dr. Gerald L. Durley and Providence Missionary Baptist Church.

Christmas message 2007: Against war, poverty, racism and exclusion ''illegals''
Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 12/30/2007 - 9:46am.Dear Readers,
''"And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn."
At Christmas Eve, I read in the Dutch news, between the daily messages about wars, occupations and other human rights violations, two messages, which stroke me
The first mentioned the record money, the average ''Dutch'' had spent for Christmas-shopping, 700 million euro, 15 percent more as last year
The second message referred to the statement of the Israeli military Prosecutor, that Israel hadn't made an illegal use of the clusterbombs in South-Lebanon, because they should be thrown in a ''non populated'' area and were mentioned in the battle against the Hezbollah rocket-attacks
Therefore the commanders, who have used those clustermunitions, will not be persecuted before the Court
I wonder, whether the Israeli Prosecutor can sleep at night, thinking of the daily Lebanese civilian victims, caused by the landmines, which are the result of non-exploded clustermunitions.
Fencing-Out the "Aliens": another lesson of ignorance, futility and profiteering

Despite the majority of public opinion AGAINST building the border fence between Mexico and The United States, it appears Americans will get the fence whether or not they want it or even if it won't work keeping out illegal immigrants, which it won't.

Like so many other urgent issues, our elected officials refuse to look for rational and significant resolutions for the increasing and overwhelming numbers of illegals entering the U.S. every year.

As the 2008 Election year moves into high gear, most of the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates have adopted an anti-immigrant and anti-Mexican strategy for their campaigns. The message of the candidates is outlining an agenda that will increase border enforcement and supporting legislation that will restrict the rights of millions of immigrants.

New Films from South Lebanon
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 11/27/2007 - 2:13pm."What Future for the Youth" (18min)
Emigration is a widely discussed topic not only in Siddiqine, but all over Lebanon. Siddiqine was hit hard during the war in 2006 and more than half of the village was destroyed, which lead to further social and economic pressures resulting in a stronger desire amongst many residents to emigrate. In the film, villagers voice their concerns, hopes and assessments regarding the situation both at home and abroad and speak about their wishes to engage the hardships they face by trying to go abroad.
