Why didn’t the abuse and genocide of the Navajo by John McCain ever get mentioned in the campaigns?
This site is from the Navajo themselves and shows video testimony of their elders. http://www.cain2008.org/
I found this at Library of congress supporting it to be true.

To those of you who say it didn’t happen in 1994. Check the facts for yourself or shut up.
Are you really expecting our media, much less our government, to be forthright about our interactions and dealings with Native Americans?
I do enjoy the “liberal bias” claims though, those are good for a chuckle. If people stopped and realized that we all have a bias, it makes it easier to accept individual bias within the media.

Great Performances from the Library of Congress: Vol. 7, Leopold Stokowski $12.79 Leopold Stokowski (1882-1977) was certainly one of the most celebrated conductors of his era, and, some would say, one of the most notorious also!

Stokowski was a legenda… |

Surely this naive bumpkin can be easily controlled by the senior senator (Claude Rains) from his state, a respectable and corrupted career politician. Director Frank Capra fills the movie with Smith’s wide-eyed wonder at the glori… |

library volunteer policy
What can I do for community service?
I am a 13 year old. And I have tried volunteering on my library and the hospital, but there was a policy saying ages 16 up only. Is there any other place I can volunteer? And I want to volunteer outside of school and help the community.
For the USA: VolunteerMatch (http://www.volunteermatch.org), Idealist (http://www.idealist.org) and CraigsList (http://www.craigslist.com) all list volunteering opportunities with thousands of organizations. There’s also this government sponsored site (http://volunteer.gov/gov/) which provides volunteer positions through USA federal land agencies like Fish & Wildlife, Forest Service, National Parks, etc. Also, contact your local volunteer center; you can find this via the Points of Light Foundation web site (http://www.pointsoflight.org/centers/).
