	2005 NaFFAA Mabuhay!
		Prior to the enactment of the Rescission act of 1946, the status of the Filipino soldiers was recognized to be U.S. servicemen.
		In a sense, the Filipino fighters were unfairly tricked in that the U.S. accepted the benefit from their efforts against the Japanese but once Japan was defeated, they were denied recognition of their service.
		Congresswoman Pelosi, at that 1998 Congressional hearing on Filipino veterans, echoed historians’ assessments that the defeat of the Japanese military in the Philippines was the start of the demise of Japan in the war.

	Democrats' 'revolution' spanned 40 years - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		While traditional history dates the success of Hawai'i's Democrats to the "revolution" of 1954, when they first emerged as a postwar legislative power, it is equally possible to set their birth year at 1962.
		While Heftel was a Democrat, he was hardly part of the legacy that stood at the core of the Democratic tradition.
		They were the beneficiaries of 40 years of Democratic Party struggle, and they were simply too comfortable or too distracted by the press of daily life to make the effort.

		Rodis writes: “It was in her congressional district that the first Filipino WW II veterans were naturalized as a result of a court decision by Federal Judge Charles Renfrew in 1977.
		The Equity bill “provides that these Filipinos get the same assistance that retired US soldiers receive… If we fail to do this, I fear we send a message that the life of that of a foreigner is not as valuable as an American fighting in the same war, under the same command...
		His life is a symbol of the struggle for total recognition of Filipino veterans and a sad reminder of a shameful page in the history of our nation.

		It also was the Democratic Party's game plan in the closing moments of the general election to link Lingle to the conservative national Republican Party and politics.
		Ben Cayetano's 5,200-vote win over Republican challenger Linda Lingle is a testament to Democratic Party loyalties, union support, a last-minute media blitz and a fear of job security, according to political science professors throughout the University of Hawaii system.

	THE FILIPINO MIND: COMMUNIST MANIFESTO (1888):The declaration of principles and intentions
		Without critical thinking, we Filipinos just follow what American colonization has conditioned us Filipinos about the "evils" of Marxism (and/or "extreme" nationalism); as a people continue our socioeconomic and political ignorance, continue with our caged minds and thus fail to totally comprehend the roots of and resolve our perpetual poverty and misery.
		Thenceforth, the struggle for supremacy was, again, as it had been before the Revolution of February, solely between different sections of the propertied class; the working class was reduced to a fight for political elbow-room, and to the position of extreme wing of the middle-class Radicals.
		The very events and vicissitudes in the struggle against capital, the defeats even more than the victories, could not help bringing home to men's minds the insufficiency of their various favorite nostrums, and preparing the way for a more complete insight into the true conditions for working-class emancipation.

		The laws of the capitalist system of production force them to fight for economic domination on a world scale, which also means political and military domination: of rival and would-be rival capitalists, and of the workers and others they exploit at home and abroad (the ultimate source of their wealth).
		Our defense of the struggle is not the same thing as endorsing its present leaders, however, nor is it an endorsement of their politics, or of the Moro class forces these politics represent.
		The capitalist-imperialist system with all its infamies---brutal exploitation of labor, attacks on democratic rights for the masses, environmental ruin, and imperialist wars--- is bringing into being as never before its grave-digger, the modern proletariat.

		PILIPINA was and continues to be identified with the social democratic movement while the KALAYAAN is said to have connections with the (communist-leaning) national democrats.
		The story of GABRIELA and those of all other groups in the century-long struggle of Filipino women prove that women’s organizations have indeed been schools where women acquire knowledge, orientation, and skill necessary to advance women’s interests in the public arena.

		And Burr was only against giving a $300 special non-service disability pension to about 13,000 Filipino veterans living in the Philippines; veterans currently living in the US were assured of getting the same pension as their American counterparts which range from $900 to $1,400 a month, depending on personal circumstances.
		Perhaps an indication of Filipino clout, both Democratic presidential contenders – Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama broke off from their respective campaigns to attend Wednesday night’s session, anticipating a vote on S-1315.
		HR-760 provides more generous benefits to Filipino veterans but Filner told visiting Filipino congressmen two weeks ago that he was open to the idea of adopting S-1315 if this would speed up passage of the bill.

	The Volokh Conspiracy - -
		I think it is fair to say that at least some Democratic Senators — and some outside interest groups — have taken the position that an individual who accepts the Catholic Church's teaching on abortion, and who therefore believes that abortion is murder, is unfit for the federal bench.
		Democrats in the Senate have used the power of the filibuster to block from office the 10 most ideologically extreme of President Bush’s nominees for federal judgeships, while approving a vast majority of his nominees.
		Specifically, Senate Democrats oppose confirmation of four nominees to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit from Michigan — Henry Saad, Richard Griffin, David McKeague, and Susan Neilson — because Republican Senators blocked Clinton's Michigan nominees, including one who is related to Senator Carl Levin.

	The Material Basis of Accumulation
		This process represents the shrinkage of the material basis of global accumulation, and it is this we have to understand to see into the mind of the technocrats - their most immediate fear.
		It is notable that in this election year, the primary appeal of the Democratic Party - that bureaucratized institutional vehicle for the federalist technocrats - is that their patrician presidential candidate is not George W. Bush.
		This justifiable Democrat fear of domestic social polarization was already in evidence when the Democrats lay down before the Republican judicial fiat that decided the 2000 General Election.

		This is arguably a landmark decision for all anti-imperialist refugees or exiles suspected of being "terrorists." The Court annulled the May 29 decision of the Council of the European Union to retain him in its "terrorist" fllist.
		Evidently, this exercise in criminalizing the Filipino popular democratic struggle is meant to physically handicap Sison and distract his followers from the more urgent TASK of unseating Arroyo in Metro Manila.
		All Filipinos (if we might claim to speak editorially here) owe the Moro people tribute for their sacrifices, endurance, and collective solidarity in the fight against imperialism and corporate globalization.
