EFCA was introduced in the House of Representatives by Reps. George Miller (D-CA) and Peter King (R-NY) and in the Senate by Senators Edward Kennedy (D-MA and Arlen Specter (R-PA) in April 2005. In the 109th Congress, in which Republicans controlled both chambers, the bill had 215 co-sponsors in the House (three votes short of a majority) and 42 co-sponsors in the Senate (nine votes short of a majority). With the Democrats victory in the 2006 midterm elections, support for EFCA has only increased. Newly elected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has promised a vote on the bill in the spring, and this vote may already have taken place as this issue of Democratic Left goes to press.

To the Editor: I'd like to audition for the role of curmudgeon with a gripe of my own. Too many of my friends are forever knocking the post office.

Prendergast said U.S. engagement in Somalia is actively fostering the rise of radicalism across the region. Nanu Kidane,. network coordinator for the, Priority Africa Network, wrote in 2007 that the U.S. political and military alliance with Ethiopia that was used to oust the Islamic Courts in 2006 openly violated international law.
