 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America
The Church of England was planted permanently in Virginia in 1607, at the foundation of the Jamestown Colony.
During the period of the Revolution the Church of England in America suffered greatly in the estimation of Americans by its strong attachment to the cause of the British Crown.
Upon their return to America, although there were now three bishops in the United States, there were so many differences between the Connecticut churchmen and those of the Middle and Southern states, especially with regard to the presence of laymen in ecclesiastical councils, that it was not until 1789 that a union was effected.

 Assuring America’s Continuing Support for the WTO
New obligations that were never agreed to at the bargaining table are created by panels.
For their part, America’s trading partners sought an end to what they viewed as U.S. "unilateralism." This term they applied to the United States' practice, given its status as the world’s largest market for imports, of using its economic strength to press others to open their markets.
In contrast, while America notionally could play power politics in the "state of nature" that was the GATT, America’s power would not be of great use if it were bound always to get formal WTO approval before it acted.

 DC Wonks Undermine the Anti-WalMart Movement | TPMCafe
On basic economics, this new talking point from the DC wonks is nonsensical and a bit hypocritical from folks who seem to be heartless about manufacturing workers losing their jobs to "free trade", but awfully compassionate about the burdens on corporate profits from health care costs due to that same international competition.
New York City, and Suffolk County just passed laws requriing large retailers like Wal-Mart to provide health care to their employees-- and Maryland passed a similar law through their legislature, only to see their GOP governor veto it.
Obviously, groups like the New America Foundation have the free speech right to say anything they want, but when groups like that deliberately promote rhetoric that undermines current progressive organizing efforts, it's clear that they can't be trusted as allies by grassroots organizations.

 Lounsbury: Pimping Giddiness: MENA Private Sector & New America Foundation
When Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that the Lebanon war was a sign of the "birth pangs of a new Middle East," she was both dramatically wrong and partially right.
A "new Middle East" is indeed being born, but it has little to do with Lebanon or President Bush's democracy agenda.
The "new Middle East" is forming in the boardrooms of new and innovative businesses, in assertive private sectors demanding reform, in booming equity markets, cash-rich banks, state-owned investment houses and individual investors with global outlooks, and in a new generation of entrepreneurs and businessmen (and women) creating real companies with real underlying values.
