F****3 发帖数: 30 | 1 Will We Be Singled Out During War Time?
Japanese Americans were SINGLED OUT for concentration camps
during WWII, but not the German- and/or Italian- Americans. So might
Asian Americans be SINGLED OUT during war time?
Some claim that Chinese American scientists & engineers have
ALREADY BEEN SINGLED OUT and closely scrutinized in their
workplaces. 80-20 is monitoring the situation. South Asian Americans
were mistakenly SINGLED OUT after 9/11 by some of our compatriots.
However, the best way TO AVOID BEING SINGLED OUT is by signing
the petition below. It asks our Supreme Court to REPUDIATE the wartime
decision that SINGLED OUT Japanese Americans.
Click on http://admin.80-20nj.info/cgi/dm/8/13p/f and SIGN THE
PETITION seen below!
PETITION TO THE SUPREME COURT
We, the undersigned, and our children want to sleep
without fear that we can be placed under surveillance,
arrest or detention OWING TO RACE, ETHNIC OR RELIGIOUS
REASONS during wartime exigencies, which the Korematsu
decision represents.
We, therefore, respectfully request the Supreme Court of
the United States to REPUDIATE the Korematsu Decision,
commonly viewed by legal scholars as the worst Supreme
Court decision, which is still a "good law" i.e. current and
still applicable.
We support the call for "repudiation" by Peter Irons, which
has been submitted to each of the nine Justices and
endorsed by many legal scholars.
Two of the three branches of our government, the
Legislative and Executive, have already apologized for the
Japanese internment act. However, the pinnacle of the
Judiciary branch, the Supreme Court, has left that decision
on the book.
Please REPUDIATE the Korematsu decision.
5a34 Respectfully,
Names of petitioners
Remember the 50,000+ "race-neutral college admissions" survey that 80-
20 sponsored? Didn't we deliver more than what you hoped for? This is a
MORE consequential request. We need at least 100,000 signers to have an
impact. If we get 1 million, it may not even matter if the Supreme Court
acts. A huge amount of publicity will follow. We will have sent an
unmistakable signal to the political establishment. Your dream for security
will
be reality!
Get your entire family to SIGN IT NOW & Forward this to your friends!
