(One minor correction: The Marianas were one of MANY reasons why we supported Charlie Brown. Brown is a good decent man who ran against…well..a different kind of guy. – promoted by SFBrianCL)

Hey everyone! Neil here from Ripples of Hope. I just wanted to let everyone know that good news is coming in the next few days from Washington!

Congressman George Miller, a long-time champion of the wage and labor atrocities in the Commonwealth of the Mariana Islands (CNMI), is pushing legislation witin the first 100 hours of the 110th Congress convening that will help curb the abuses in the Marianas. Here’s a link.

More over the flip.

So, in order for this legislation to pass, we ALL need to get pro-active. We need to email our House Representatives and strongly urge them to help this legislation pass. You can find your local Congressional Representative by visiting www.house.gov and typing your zip code on the front page of the site. This is a great step for the women and children being abused in Saipan, and we owe it to them to do what we can to affect change.

Charlie Brown, the candidate for Congress against John Doolittle in CA-04, is still fighting for justice for these people. They simply want good jobs and secure futures for their families, but its being denied. The American Dream is nothing more than an American Nightmare to them. Charlie, Nick, myself, and others like dengre over on kos are fighting to help these people: but everyone should be joining us in these efforts.

Also, please check out our website at www.ripplesofhope.org and see how you can help these immigrants being denied the American Dream, and suggest to your representative that they do the same.

Sincerely,
Neil & Nick
