• Obama and Democrats Support Relationship and Marriage Education Funding

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 10, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- President Barack Obama signed into law this week a combined $150 Million in funding for Relationship and Marriage Education and Responsible Fatherhood. The Claims Resolution Act of 2010 (H.R. 4783) signing was expected after Democrats championed the bill which passed in the House by a vote of 256-152. R. 4783 is seen as critical by Healthy Marriage grantees nationally as it provides a sixth year of funding that will enable these organizations to compile and submit results of their ongoing five-year projects. "We're very happy about this Bill passing," says Dennis Stoica, President of California Healthy Marriages Coalition (CHMC), one of more than 100 organizations in the country that receives such funds and will likely benef...

Four Eastern European economies joined Poland in streamlining bankruptcy procedures. Latvia passed a new insolvency law in November 2007. Now financially distressed companies can choose to continue operating by pursuing reorganization. Like Poland, Latvia also tightened the qualification standards for bankruptcy administrators. So did Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Czech Republic's Insolvency Act took effect on January 1, 2008. The law introduces reorganization as the preferred method for resolving insolvency, mandates stricter deadlines, establishes an electronic insolvency register and sets new qualification standards for trustees. Expanding creditors' rights has been the most popular reform feature over the past 5 years (figure 11.5). Seventeen economies have empowered creditors: China,...

• Uranium Mining Halted by House ; Democrats Declare Emergency

House Democrats on a single committee used an emergency power Wednesday to halt new uranium mining claims near the Grand Canyon, in a move Republicans say violates the Constitution. Voting 20-2, the Natural Resources Committee passed a resolution declaring an emergency and directing the Interior Department secretary to block new claims.

• Reclaiming the in-Service Conscientious Objection Program: Proposals for Creating a Meaningful Limitation to the Claim of Conscientious Objection

In 1676 the Quakers bought West New Jersey and wrote into its charter a pacifist military policy.7 In 1703, however, West and East New Jersey merged and a new militia law required military service.8 But when a sympathetic jury refused to convict any of the Quakers who refused to enter military service, the militia law lost support and was not renewed.9 All subsequent New Jersey militia acts contained exemptions specifically for Quakers.10 When Virginia Quakers refused to participate in hostilities during the French and Indian War of 1756, Colonel George Washington was so impressed with the depth and sincerity of their beliefs that he released the Quakers from confinement and essentially relieved them of their service commitment.11 As Quakers and other pacifists12 continued to resist mil...

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Today Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) joined a broad coalition of groups, including veterans, labor groups, large businesses, and senior citizens, to call on the full U.S. Senate to pass the Fairness in Asbestos Injury Resolution (FAIR) Act when it comes to the floor next week. The bipartisan press event, hosted by Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter and Ranking Democratic Member Patrick Leahy, illustrated the wide support for this critical bill.
