To rent, call 1-800-585-8018 ( 1h49m DVD). AMERICANS HELPING AMERICANSThank you to the over 170+ volunteers who helped pick up trash inBaltimore.

Scott PreslerWe were out from 8 a.m. & picked up over 12tons of trash.Trump Supporters Clean Up WestBaltimore And The Liberal Media Are IrritatedAmanda Prestigiacomo, Baltimore Sun, August7, 2019@amandaprestoFollowing tweets sent by President Donald Trump highlighting the direconditions in West Baltimorea group of conservatives responding to activists Scott Presler andengaged in a massive clean-up operation.Whilethe residents were thankful for the overhaul — the liberal media were,uh, irritated.

The media attacked the activist as an'extremist,' questioned his motives, and scolded him for'reinforcing the tired image that the poor people in this citycan’t take care of their own neighborhoods.' 'We assume itwas pure motives that led a Trump supporter to launch a cleanup inCummings' district, right?,' a headline from The Baltimore Sun'seditorial board snarked.' It made for good photos, compelling videos and catchy Twitterhashtags,' the editorial opened. 'A group of conservativesrolled their pickup trucks into one of West Baltimore’s mostimpoverished neighborhoods Monday for a cleanup day. Loaded down withtrash bags and shovels, they cleared alleyways of old tires, foodcontainers, paper and other debris. They pulled up weeds and cut awayovergrown grass. The group posted before and after pictures on socialmedia showing their progress.'

Presler said the 'visit wasn’t about showing support oranimosity for either man,' the paper continued. 'Call usskeptical.' 'Whatever he says his motives were, Scott Presler’s presencein Baltimore reinforces the tired image that the poor people in thiscity can’t take care of their own neighborhoods,' the Suncomplained. Real News Network labeled Mr. Presler as a 'right-wingextremist.' 'Right-wing extremist Scott Presler organizes a'Clean Up' event in West Baltimore, but is this altruism or a politicalploy for Trump?'

The outlet asked.Presler, however, remains undeterred in helping other Americans inneed. 'I'm getting messages from people all over the countrywanting to start cleanups in their local cities,' he said in atweet posted Tuesday. 'We did something very special in Baltimoreyesterday — it's having a nationwide effect.' In late July, President Trump highlighted the issues in WestBaltimore — specifically, the district of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD).Trump ridiculed Cummings for neglecting the American people herepresents to focus on the southern border — 'bullying,shouting, and screaming' at Border Patrol, according to thepresident.'

Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting andscreaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditionsat the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FARWORSE and more dangerous. His district is considered the Worst in theUSA,' Trump said in a series of tweets.

'As proven last weekduring a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & wellrun, just very crowded. Cummings' District is a disgusting, rat androdent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he couldhelp clean up this very dangerous & filthy place.' Though the media were quick to paint Trump as a racist for callingout the conditions, Mr.

Cummings has similarly used such language todescribe the area. 'This morning I left my community ofBaltimore, a drug infested area' where people were 'walkingaround like zombies,” Cummingssaid during a 1999 congressional hearing, as previously reportedby The Daily Wire. Cummingsand other Democrats continued to spout off at President Trump — Twitter personality,conservative Scott Presler decidedto take action. Scott Presler called for a Trash Clean-Up Day in Baltimore! In the wake of a trio of deadly massacres,the studio is evaluating its strategy for the R-rated Blumhouse satirein which elites stalk 'deplorables.' In the aftermath of mass shootings within days of one another thatshocked and traumatized the nation, Universal is re-evaluating itsstrategy for the certain-to-be-controversial satire.

The violent,R-rated film from producer Jason Blum's Blumhouse follows a dozen MAGAtypes who wake up in a clearing and realize they are being stalked forsport by elite liberals.Over the Aug. 3 weekend, ESPN pulled an ad for the film that it hadpreviously cleared, while AMC ran the spot during the season premiereof its drama The Preacher. It's unclear whether the ads wereidentical, but the one yanked by ESPN opened with a sound resemblingan emergency broadcast signal. A rep for ESPN parent Disney declinedto comment on the move, but an ESPN source says no spots for the filmwill appear on the network in the coming weeks.The Hunt stars Betty Gilpin from GLOW and HilarySwank, representing opposite sides of the political divide. Itfeatures guns blazing along with other ultra-violent killings as theelites pick off their prey. The script from Damon Lindelof and NickCuse reviewed by The Hollywood Reporter revolves aroundthird-rail political themes. (Original title: Red State Vs.

BlueState.)A studio source says that even before the recent attacks, whichleft 34 dead in El Paso, Texas; Dayton, Ohio; and Gilroy, California,some reshoots were done based on a recent rough cut. Universal andBlumhouse declined to comment.While one high-level Universal source says the studio has pulledsome ads that are beginning to air and appear online 'for contentand placement,' others say the matter is still under discussioninternally. A major ad blitz on television and the web had beenplanned for the beginning of September, says one insider.

A trailer isalready online.Given the fraught political climate — particularly in the wake ofthe attack in El Paso, which was motivated by anti-immigrant bigotry— studio sources say Universal is evaluating its plans in what onecalled 'a fluid situation.' A high-level insider says topexecutives want to stand by Blum, one of the studio's most prolificand successful producers, as well as filmmaker Craig Zobel, and seethe project as a satire addressing an issue of great socialimportance. But this person says plans could change 'if peoplethink we're being exploitative rather than opinionated.' From a business perspective, The Hunt presents a gamblefor Universal in these divided times. The satire AssassinationNation, which also pitted the woke versus the unwoke in uber-violentfashion, represented the top sale at Sundance 2018 at $10 million. Butthe film fizzled upon its release later that year, earning just $2million with no international rollout.

Says one person involved withthat film, 'We thought people would get the joke.' The Hunt made some executives at Universal skittish backin May 2018, when film chief Donna Langley acquired the script andfast-tracked it at a modest $18 million budget. It is unclear whetherthere were any other bidders on the property, the sale of which wasbrokered by CAA, but insiders at several studios told THR atthe time that they did not pursue it because of the explosive premise.One executive says he didn't even read the script, noting, 'Theidea seemed crazy.' This is not the first time a studio has been faced with real-lifeevents that rendered a film release more complicated. Following the9/11 terrorist attacks, for example, Warner Bros. Moved back theArnold Schwarzenegger starrer Collateral Damage and abandoneda trailer that featured a bomb attack in the U.S. The 2017 DeathWish remake was delayed several months in response to a massshooting in Las Vegas.

And Oliver Stone's 1994 satire Natural BornKillers was criticized for inspiring copycat killings.Certainly, satire can be a dicey genre for studios to pull off.Just ask Sony, which became the target of a 2014 hack blamed on theNorth Koreans over the Seth Rogen comedy The Interview.The script for The Hunt features the red-state characterswearing trucker hats and cowboy shirts, with one bragging about owningseven guns because it's his constitutional right. The blue-statecharacters — some equally adept with firearms — explain that theypicked their targets because they expressed anti-choice positions orused the N-word on Twitter. 'War is war,' says one characterafter shoving a stiletto heel through the eye of a denim-cladhillbilly.'

Employees in different departments were questioning thewisdom of making such a movie in these times,' says one filmmakerwith ties to Universal. 'In light of the horrific recentshootings, is this not the most craven, irresponsible, dangerousexploitation?'

That point is countered by a Universal executive, who says themovie 'is meant to show what a stupid, crazy world we livein,' adding, 'It might even be more powerful now.' Marisa Guthrie contributed to this report. This storyappears in the Aug. 7 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.To receive the magazine,Editor Mimi: It has been decades that scientific studieshave conclusively shown a relationship between observing violence (movies/television)and the imitation of violence by children. This is not newknowledge. It is well-documented. Well-known too is thepattern that physically abused children tend to grow up intophysically abusive parents.

So, when is Hollywood going to takeresponsibility for the patterns of behavior which they are shaping inour society?What a disappointment that shock, sex, and violence havedominated the creativity and growth of an industry which could do somuch good in healing our nation; instead of producing (at a modest$18 million budget)a movie, which some employees in the industry appear to have the goodsense not to show it.Where are the positive socially promoting programs of the past whichmade you cry because of the nobility of the characters? The moviesthat made you proud to be an America, which encouraged our youth to stretchthemselves, aspire, dream, help. Scott Presler didthat.

I don't think she paid much attention in civics class. What theElectoral College actually does is ensure political decision makingisn't concentrated with coastal elites, like AOC herself. We should notabolish a system – used effectively for more than 200 years -–justbecause it didn't provide the expected outcome for some groups at onemoment in history.As a professional educator – I know my civics, and I promise thatIf I get to Congress, I'll make sure AOC knows everything there is toknow about the Electoral College.As an educated black woman, I understand the pain of my ancestors whowere counted in the census yet denied the right to vote; buthistorical injustices shouldn't be used as pretense to sow even moredivision at present. Comrade AOC needs to be challenged on themerits of her very dangerous ideas.

I'll make it my mission to ensureAOC's message of hate is drowned out.I promise you that if I am elected to the House, my first act as amember of Congress will be to challenge AOC to a very public debate –and I guarantee you that you you'll enjoy watching it.Seeking financial support. Blessings always,Dr. Lerah Lee, Ph.D. Danny Trejo, one of Hollywood’s best villains,used ‘superpowers’ tohelp save a child from a flipped car By Timothy Bella, August 8, 2019Actor Danny Trejo, shown here in 2017, played a real-life hero Wednesday whenhe helped rescue a child trapped in an overturned car after a collision at a LosAngeles intersection. (Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP)Actor Danny Trejo was about to drop off his 1965 Buick Riviera for repairswhen he saw the sedan next to him run a red light and hit a Ford Explorer,flipping the silver SUV. The “Machete” star jumped into action on Wednesdayafternoon, helping a mother pinned behind a smashed driver’s door. The motherkept screaming, “My baby!

My baby!,” and Trejo, along with anotherbystander, got to work saving the child, who was still in his car seat. Hisgrandmother was also trapped in the back.When Trejo and the other Good Samaritan were able to unbuckle the child andfree him, the 75-year-old actor says he realized the boy with special needs waspanicking. Known for playing villains in films including “Heat,” “Desperado”and “Con Air,” Trejo, who could smell gasoline in the SUV, took a page outof the hero’s playbook to distract the child as firefighters successfullyfreed the boy’s grandmother.“I said, ‘We have to use our superpowers.’ So he screamed, ‘superpowers,’and we started yelling ‘superpowers’ back and forth to each other,” Trejotold The Washington Post on Wednesday night. “I told him to flex with hismuscles, and he said, ‘muscles.’ I just kept the ‘superpowers’ gamegoing and he flexed until we got away from there. I kept facing him away fromwhat was going on.”Trailer: 'Dora and the Lost City of Gold'Having spent most of her life exploring with her parents, Dora (Isabela Moner)prepares for her most dangerous adventure yet — high school.

(ParamountPictures)The actor’s random act of kindness on the north side of Los Angeles hasgone viral, with fans paying thanks to Trejo for a piece of good news in a monththat’s been dominated by tragedy and division.Trejo, who went from being a California prison inmate in the 1960s to one ofHollywood’s most recognizable villains, said that while he was surprised hisassist was resonating with so many, he was grateful he was there to help.“Things are so complicated right now that people have to understand thatGod put us on this Earth to help each other,” Trejo said. “If you look atEarth today, we’re on the Titanic, looking for a good seat.

We are here toserve, we are here to welcome, we are here to love. That’s what we’resupposed to be doing. I’m just thankful to God because He let me do thattoday.”He added, “Everything good that has happened to me has happened as a directresult of helping someone else.”Wearing a white cutoff shirt, baggy shorts and a gray hat from one of hisrestaurants, Trejo’s Tacos, the actor was only about a mile away from Chubby’sAutomotive when he witnessed the accident. He said the sedan’s driver seemeddistracted, and Trejo honked at her to get her attention right before the wreck.The next thing he knew, he found himself crawling inside an overturned SUV.“The scariest thing in the world is to crawl into a car in that situationand you smell gas,” Trejo said, laughing after the fact.Assessing the damage to the flipped car, Trejo said there’s a good chancethe child’s car seat saved his life.“If he wasn’t wearing his car seat, I think he would have died,” hesaid. “The seat was completely ripped off and he was laying on the floor, butwas still wearing his car seat.”He praised the female bystander who was able to reach her hand into the carto unbuckle the car seat and release the young child. The woman, identified bymedia outlets as Monica Jackson, told NBC Los Angelesthat the mother was in alot of pain but repeatedly told them to help her child.Authorities received a call at about 3:08 p.m. Local time Wednesday of peopletrapped in a vehicle, Margaret Stewart, a public information officer with theLos Angeles Fire Department, told The Post.

Stewart said all three occupantswere taken to a hospital with no significant injuries. Tony Im, a spokesman withthe Los Angeles Police Department, said that no arrests were made and theincident is being classified as a two-car traffic collision. The crash remainsunder investigation, Im said.At some point, the boy, who was holding on to Trejo amid the chaotic scene,used the actor’s cutoff shirt to wipe off his nose, Trejo said. Naturally, theactor decided to go shirtless. An eight-second clip posted to Twitter of Trejospeaking with ABC 7, reflecting on his life while not wearing a shirt, had beenviewed more than 2 million times as of early Thursday.It wasn’t until later that the family realized who was helping them, Trejosaid.The actor’s career started when, as a youth drug counselor, he was asked bya teen he was working with to come to the set of the 1985 film “Runaway Train.”Knowing cocaine was on the set, Trejo went to support the young person, andended up as an extra in prison scenes.

He would go on to work with the likes ofQuentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez and Rob Zombie. He’s best known for hisrole as Machete, a former Mexican Federale who first appeared in the “Spy Kids”franchise before getting a series of films of his own. This year, Trejo isfeatured not only in an upcoming horror film from Zombie but also as the voiceof Boots the Monkey in the latest “Dora the Explorer” movie.“The mom kept saying, ‘I know you, I know you,’ but she was kind ofshook up,” he said. “I said, ‘superpowers’ again to her son, and shekind of giggled and said, ‘I know you.’ The fireman there said somethinglike, ‘You’ll want a picture when you know who he is.’”When most of the authorities had left, the actor said he stuck around to takepictures with about 30 bystanders.

Amazingly, the memorable day didn’t endthere. Again, something good happened to Trejo after helping someone else.

“Ieven won $700 playing the lotto,” he said. “But hey, don’t tell the IRS.”Sent by Gilbert Sanchezgilsanche01@gmail.com.

Operation Independence Day: FBI Rescues over 100 Sex Trafficking Victimsby Mikaela MathewsThe FBI rescued over 100 sex trafficking victims across the United Statesin the month of July. According to a press release, the initiative, called “OperationIndependence Day” recovered juveniles and arrested 67 suspected traffickers.“The FBI is fiercely focused on recovering child victims and arrestingthe sex traffickers who exploit them,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said.“Through operations like this, the FBI helps child victims escape theabusive life of sex trafficking.”Because of a national initiative, the FBI had a longer time window toimplement their plan to save victims. The Houston Field Office worked with theHouston Police Department to search out social media and escort sites forjuvenile victims being advertised for commercial sex. Officers set up afake-date, met at a pre-arranged location, and brought victims in for aninterview.Recoveries occurred in cities throughout the country.

Las Vegas, with 14recoveries, and Dallas, with 13, ranked the highest. The FBI notes that “recovered”means “the removal of the child from ongoing, continued victimization.”Specialists work to ensure that the child is situated in a safe environmentwhere their needs are met.“We are here to rescue children, and we are here to build good casesagainst traffickers,” Jeanette Milazzo, a special agent in Houston’s FieldOffice said. Former Miss Iraq Warns ofRep.

Ilhan Omar’sTrue, Radical Intentions,Posted 12 Aug2019If there’s anyone who knows about the dangers of bringing hostilereligious ideology into a country, it would be former Miss Iraq Sarah Idan.Idan, who lives in the United States after being driven out of her homecountry (for the sin of posting a photo of herself with the reigning MissIsrael), said that voters should be wary of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s intentionsof pushing the Islamic concept of Sharia law into the United States legalcode.“Ilhan Omar does not represent me as a Muslim,” Idan said in aninterview with The Sara Carter Show. “Doesn’t represent millions ofMuslims in the Middle East. You know, in Arab countries, we call her theMuslim Brotherhood.

They are extremist Muslims, Sunni Muslims, who are nowworking together with Iran against all the Arab countries. They’reworking now with Hezbollah, with Turkey, with all that. You know, thething is about this organization, theyare extremist Muslims, they’re Jihadis, and they have thisideology that they want to control the world.”Idan said that, much like the Muslim Brotherhood liked to prey onweak-minded Middle Easterners looking for a strong, religious centralgovernment, politicians like Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib were preying onvoters with a bad case of bleeding heart.“They feed on the sympathy of people,” she said.

“It’s anideology of trying to push Islam to make it the ruling system of thecountry.”Idan told Carter that she took great exception to Omar’s commonphrase: “I speak for every Muslim in this country.” No, Idan said.You don’t!!“She made a lot of us angry,” she said. “Moderate Muslims whoescaped Sharia, who are trying to push for moderate Islam and a reform ofIslam.”Oh, but the left has a name for people like that. No, they don’t callthem “apostates,” the way ISIS might, but they do call them anassortment of other names: Racists, Islamophobes, and the like. Whether it’sIdan or Ayaan Hirsi Ali or Maajid Nawaz, these reformers are seen as athreat to the left. A threat to Islam. They are persona non grata withinthe New Liberal movement, and anyone who gives them a platform is seen assome version of a conservative, racist, Trump-supporting bigot.

Even whenthey are people like Sam Harris, who couldn’t be further from thatdefinition.No, the left prefers their Ilhan Omars, their Rashida Tlaibs, and theirLinda Sarsours. People who go out of their way to bash Israel, support thePalestinians, and advocate for the political rise of Islam in America.People who suddenly get tongue-tied when asked to condemn 9/11, al-Qaeda,female genital mutilation, or any of the many horrors that Islam hasinflicted on the world. You’d think that so-called progressives wouldhave a big problem with fundamentalist Islam, but then you realize there’sactually nothing “progressive” about these modern leftists at all. 'Latinos are protagonists in the American story'Review by Antonio De Loera-Brust of book: El Norte by Carrie GibsonAmerica, the Jesuit Review, August 19, 2019A Google Alert: Hispanic history, all periodsThough he died long before the construction of any U.S. Border wall, the poetWalt Whitman appears to have anticipated our current racism-infused immigrationdebate. Latinos like myself, that debate can often appear as if ourcountry is contesting the merits of our presence. But all the way back in 1883,Whitman wrote, “To that composite American identity of the future, Spanishcharacter will supply some of the most needed parts.”Whitman’s thoughts on those of us known as Latinos (or Hispanics—theterms are functionally similar, if not fully interchangeable) is one of manytelling details that Carrie Gibson weaves together in her new work of history,El Norte: The Epic and Forgotten Story of Hispanic North America.

Rejecting theimplications of the label “minority,” Gibson instead tells the history ofLatinos as equal protagonists in the American story.Telling the entire 500-year history of Spanish-speaking peoples in what isnow the United States in a single volume is rarely attempted, and Gibson is boldto do it. The book speeds through time and place at a breakneck pace, and sooccasionally suffers from lack of depth. Events as pivotal to American Latinohistory as the 1960s farmworker movement are given barely a page of analysis.Nevertheless, including so many diverse periods, peoples and places in onebook, and finding the sometimes faint thread of heritage and experience thatunites them, is a great accomplishment. Mexicans, Cubans, Dominicans and PuertoRicans alike will find themselves in this book, but will also learn somethingabout the others.All the way back in 1883, Walt Whitman wrote, “To that composite Americanidentity of the future, Spanish character will supply some of the most neededparts.”Tweet thisThe Hispanic history of North America is also inescapably a history ofCatholicism. Many of the early portions of the book, including Gibson’sexplorations of Spanish colonizers, are preoccupied with the often violentexpansion of the church. Here is yet another reminder that there is dark historyfor the church to reckon with.Ultimately, El Norte itself comes at a pivotal moment in Latino history.Naturally, the book addresses the fact that the sitting United States presidentran on a message of explicit anti-Latino bigotry.

The book falls short ofanswering the question I have been asking all my life: Why does American societyseem to hate Latinos so much? It does, however, offer this glimmer of hope:Latinos have been through worse, and yet endured.This article also appeared in print, under the headline 'An Americanstory,' in the August 19, 2019 issue. Extracts from: A history of anti-Hispanic bigotry in the United Statesby Marie AranaWashington Post, August 8, 2019'Of the 50 most violent cities in the world, 43 are in Latin America. Ofthe 25 countries with the highest murder rates, nearly half are south of the RioGrande.' Latinos in the United States now number 56.5 million, a full 18 percentof the population. According to the Pew Research Center, that’s a whopping 40percent increase over 40 years. Almost two-thirds are native-born.

I would like to share with your readers and you, thesecond paragraph in the book introduction:'Americans, reeling from the economic disorientationof the depression, sought a convenient scapegoat.They found it in the Mexican community, in a frenzy ofanti-Mexican hysteria, wholesale punitive measures wereproposed and undertaken by government officials at thefederal, state, and local levels. Laws were passeddepriving Mexicans of jobs in the public and privatesectors.

Immigration and deportation laws wereenacted to restrict emigration and hasten the departure ofthose already here. Contributing to the brutalizingexperience were the mass deportation roundups andrepatriation drives.

Violence and'scare-head' tactics were utilized to get rid ofthe burdensome and unwanted horde. An incessant cryof 'get rid of the Mexicans' swept thecountry.' Laredo, TexasAug 14, 2019Editor Mimi: Dear Victor, good to hear from you. I am alsoaware of Prof. Balderrama book, 'Decade of Betrayal: MexicanRepatriation in the 1930s.'

He was kind enough to speak atconference I put on in Los Angeles. It was his wife and herfamily's experiences that made him aware of the injustice of thereparations of the 1930s. It is unimaginable, to be picked upoff the street, put on a truck or train and left by the side of theroad in Mexico. All ages, all conditions, no regard to USstatus.I remember a conversation with a lady on the bus. She saidshe and her family were all US citizens, born in the US.Her brother, a leader in the small California where they lived, wasmay.

Yet he was picked up and taken down and repatriated toMexico, though he never lived in Mexico. Eventually herbrother was able to return to his home, family, and city, but it wasquite a problem.As you know Prof. Balderrama book is filled with first handaccounts about the ordeals suffered, some people did return to the US,but even the return was different.It is annoying when the Mexican Repatriation is compared to theJapanese internment camps.

There is nocomparison.The United States was at war with Japan. Well documented was thefact that some Japanese n the United States were assisting Japan' wareffort, surreptitiously. Germany attempted to form an alliancewith Mexico, but was turned down repeatedly.The Japanese in the internment camps were given all needed livingprovisions, including food, beds, etc. In addition to recreation,educational and cultural experiences. They were notdropped off at the side of the road.In addition, they were given a warning and time to prepare toreport to the internment camps. I lived with my Tia Elia and TioGilberto in the house of a Japanese family who were in an InternmentCamp. Next to the house was a huge barn filled farm equipment andfurniture stuffed with family household goods.

All coveredwith huge rugs, secured with robes.While in the interments camps, the youth weregiven job training in a variety of fields. Students were taughtin keeping with their grade level. When the war was over,students went right into their correct grade level classes, notremedial. The Japanese heritage youth lost no time.

High in Los Angeles was in a perfectlocation to received Japanese students from the interment camps.I know because many became my friends.Whereas for the children that were 'repatriated' to Mexico, noprovision for their future was considered.Families had to figure out how to survive in Mexico. Many of thechildren that were 'taken back' to Mexico did not even speakSpanish. Those families, American born Mexican heritage childrenwho returned to the US were not given help for the disruption of theireducation.

And yet some ofour fellow Americans are just beginning to notice us.We are white and we are Hispanic – and that should not be a problem,either.Nevertheless, ever since the New York Times described GeorgeZimmerman as a “white Hispanic,” some people are having a hard timehiding their ignorance about the U.S. Hispanic population.There were those who had erroneously assumed that Latinos/Hispanicsare a race instead of an ethnic group.There were those who claimed that they had never heard the term “whiteHispanic.” And there are conservative extremists already charging thatthis was a “new term” created as part of a sinister plot to make theZimmerman case “about race” and polarize the nation between whitesand blacks.And they are all promoting ignorance.For the record: Just like the rest of our fellow Americans, U.S.Hispanics come in all colors, ethnicities and religions.

“In God We Trust” Florida’s state motto since 2006. Nowmandatory to display in all public schools.‘In God We Trust’ Signs to BePosted in Every Louisiana School This Yearby Michael Foust is a freelance writer.Visit his blog, MichaelFoust.comEvery school building in Louisiana must display the nation’s motto,“In God We Trust,” under a new law that goes into effect this schoolyear.Every school building in Louisiana must display the nation’s motto,“In God We Trust,” under a new law that goes into effect this schoolyear.Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards signed the law last year. It passedthe state Senate, 33-6, and the state House, 93-12.Social studies classes also must teach students about the nationalmotto by fifth grade under the new law.

The law is popular, even amongsome administrators.“I still feel strongly that America is a Christian nation,”Shelby Ainsworth, principal of West Monroe High School, told WAFB 9. “Iwant our high school youngsters exposed to as much as that as possible.”The law says, “each public school governing authority shall displaythe national motto in each building it uses and in each school under itsjurisdiction.” The minimum requirement is that it be a paper sign.A Democrat, Sen.

Regina Ashford Barrow, was the bill’s leadsponsor. She told WWL last year that America has suffered morally bytaking God out of public schools.

“We have seen a moral decay in ourschools and in our community because we have taken this out of ourschool system,” Barrow said.She was inspired to promote the bill, she told WWL, by the governor’sprayer breakfast and by the senate’s practice of praying. “Every daybefore we begin to do our business here at the capitol we alwaysacknowledge Him by prayer,” she said.Barrow rejected criticism that the law violates the Constitution’sprohibition on government establishment of religion.

“We’re notpushing God on anybody; we're incorporating it as part of the history ofour nation,” she told USA Today. “It’s our national motto, forgoodness sake. If it’s good enough to be on our money, it’s goodenough to be in our schools.”The United States, she said, was “built on a Christian foundation.”“We need to make sure the children know that and pass it on to thenext generation,” she said.

South Dakota and Kentucky have similarlaws, as Christian Headlines previously reported. The San Antonio COPSRevolutionBy Roberto Vazquez, LaRed Latina News NetworkEstimados/as Colegas, The AmericanDemocratic System works. However, we need to learn to use the Systemin a wise, creative, and effective manner. Ernesto Cortezdemonstrated this in the early 70s when he organized La Gente, andtransformed San Antonio, into the prosperous, diverse andprogressive city it is today.Saludes, y Buena Suerte, Roberto VazquezThe San Antonio COPS Revolution By Roberto Vazquez, LaRed LatinaNews Network Posted on March 14, 2005, Printed on March 14, 2005In her San Antonio Express-News column of 6/6/04, Jan JarboeRussel, describes very graphically the 1974 confrontation of COPSRepresentatives and then Mayor Charles Becker.' On a muggy Thursday night in August 1974, about 500 membersof Communities Organized for Public Service converged in the CityCouncil chamber and demanded to be heard.Now Father Albert Benavides and Beatrice Gallego stood at themicrophone and insisted (Mayor) Charles Becker and the City Councilhear them out.

I will never forget the anger etched like granite onBenavides' face. The priest stood there, shaking his fists high inthe air, looking like the prophet Jeremiah.' What was not known back then was that Father Benavides, alongwith the other COPS representatives had been quietly organizing, andpainstakingly researching the issues for a whole year before theydecided to approach city officials.

It turned out that COPSrepresentatives were much better informed, and more knowledgeableabout San Antonio socio-economic and political issues then were theMayor, Councilmen, and City Manager.Even that famous 1974, confrontation between COPS and CharlesBecker/City Council, was carefully choreographed and orchestratedbeforehand by COPS. By the time COPS representatives decided toapproach San Antonio city officials, they already had rehearsedpolitical strategies, tactics, along with contingency plans to coveralmost any conceivable scenario or counter action posed by theopposition.In other words, the city government establishment had no chanceagainst COPS. However, city officials did not know that. They werecaught totally by surprise.Through their intensive research, COPS members found out thatcity officials had for decades been diverting city funds from theinner city to newly developed subdivisions on the North Side. Ineffect city officials were stealing from the poor West and Southside neighborhoods to provide funds for developers in the affluentNorth Side suburbs.In a 1978 article, Moises Sandoval, a Alicia Patterson Foundationaward winner, notes, 'Officials whom they had held in awe hadfor years 're-programmed' to the suburbs bond moniesearmarked for inner city projects such as critically needed stormsewers. Meanwhile, persons were drowning when heavy rains floodedlow-lying barrios. Even as COPS was beginning to fasten an eagle eyeon the City Council's activities, the city voted to buy a golfcourse from a developer with federal Community Development Act fundswhich were supposed to be spent for the improvement of poorneighborhoods.

(COPS action led to a veto of the purchase of federalauthorities.) Developers were receiving millions of taxpayers' moneyin subsidies for water main installations in subdivisions bothinside and outside the city limits while central city neighborhoodshad to make do with two-inch mains which made washing dishes andtaking a shower activities that could not go on at the same time inone house.' Jan Jarboe clearly describes this issue in her 6/6/04Express-News column about the legendary confrontation of COPS andMayor Charles Becker.' Father Albert Benavides spoke directly to (Mayor) CharlesBecker and told him that even though many drainage projects for theWest Side had been authorized by the city in bond issues, they neverwere built.Becker turned to City Manager Sam Granata and asked if the priestwas telling the truth. Granata indicated that it was true. ThenBecker asked how long the drainage projects for the West Side hadbeen planned.

'About 40 years,' Granata responded.' Forty years is a long time to wait for services.

It's possiblethat if COPS had not intervened then, the West Side might still bewaiting for the drainage projects today.In 1988, Henry Cisneros, former San Antonio Mayor was quoted assaying, 'I can say unequivocally, COPS has fundamentallyaltered the moral tone and the political and physical face of SanAntonio.' These words ring true today as they did back then. Since 1973,through the present, COPS/Metro Alliance, have managed todramatically transform and diversify electoral politics in SanAntonio, and Bexar County. This community organization has alsomanaged to generate over one billion dollars in city/county, state,and federal public funds for capital and infrastructure improvementsfor the West and South sides of San Antonio.These projects included a community college, drainage systems,new housing and housing rehabilitation, public parks, healthclinics, public libraries and a host of other related urbanimprovements.One may wonder how COPS became so effective in social andpolitical engineering in San Antonio. Some say it's because they area faith-based organization inspired by God, the scriptures, theProphets and the Holy Spirit. I personally think there may be sometruth to this notion.However, I believe the main reason COPS has been so successful isbecause they are a grass-roots organization that works to build longterm relationships among members based on family values, religiousand social traditions, as well as good old 'All American'Democratic ideals and values.Mark Warren, in 'Connecting People to Politics,' quotesReverend Mike Haney as saying 'COPS is a way of implementingthe gospel's call to justice that it imposes on us. This happens ina couple of ways: dealing with issues themselves; and COPS calls usto work as a collective, to find strength in community, and that's agospel call itself.'

Reverend Rosendo Urrabazo, in the otherhand notes 'The purpose of COPS is not issues; the purpose ofCOPS is leadership formation.' In a Key Note speech 'Building a Just Society ThroughEthical Leadership,' in 2001 at the University of Texas,ErnieCortez, current Southwest Regional Director of the IAF said,'That's the role of a broad-based organization, to mentor, toguide, to teach, to teach people to act on their own interests.That's the work that COPS is involved in, that's the work thatValley Interfaith is involved in, that's the work that all the IAForganizations are involved in.'

He continues, 'It'simportant for people who don't have any power to learn that they canget power by organizing, to get power by beginning to negotiate, toget power by developing broad-based institutions.' In a December 1999 article, Cheryl Dahle, senior writer at FastCompany, quotes Ernie Cortez, 'We organize people not justaround issues, but around their values. The issues fade, and peoplelose interest in them.But what they really care about remains: family, dignity,justice, and hope.

We need power to protect what we value.' Cortez, also explains, 'The politics that we talk about isthe politics of the Greeks - the politics of negotiation anddeliberation and struggle, in which people engage in confrontationand ompromise.

My goal is to reclaim that political tradition.'
