AGRICULTURE SECRETARY VILSACK TO HOLD
RURAL COMMUNITY FORUM IN CALIFORNIA
WASHINGTON, August 24, 2009 - On Wednesday,
August 26, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will hold a rural
community forum in Modesto, Calif., as part of the Obama Administration's
Rural Tour. At the forum, Vilsack will share information with
local residents about the work USDA is doing to revitalize and
rebuild rural America and ask local residents how USDA can be
helpful in supporting and initiating other programs and projects
to help the community participate fully and successfully in the
new, 21st century economy. Vilsack will also highlight American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act projects improving communities
in California and benefiting people throughout rural America.
In June, President Obama announced that
Secretary Vilsack will lead the Administration's Rural Tour to
visit rural communities in states throughout the country. Secretary
Vilsack is scheduled to lead Rural Tour events with a variety
of other top administration officials over the coming weeks and
months in Nebraska, New Mexico, and Ohio. This will be the seventeenth
similar forum Secretary Vilsack has led since being sworn in,
and this event follows rural listening sessions held in Des Moines,
Iowa, Hamlet, N.C., Bethel, Alaska, St. John Parish, La., Blairs,
Va., West Salem, Wis., Charlotte, Mich., Concord, N.H., Wattsburg,
Pa., Danville, Ind., Geneseo, Ill., Harrodsburg, Ky., Ludowici,
Ga., Portageville, Mo., and Brush, Colo.
USDA recently launched a new website and
social media tools designed to enhance discussions and facilitate
innovation for challenges facing rural America. All Americans
can follow the Rural Tour's progress online at www.RuralTour.gov,
on Twitter at www.twitter.com/RuralTour,
or at USDA's Facebook fan page available at www.facebook.com/usda.
The USDA provides leadership on food, agriculture
and natural resources and touches the life of every American.
Secretary Vilsack and the USDA are working to promote a sustainable,
safe, sufficient and nutritious food supply, ensure that America
leads the global fight against climate change, and revitalize
rural communities by expanding economic opportunities.

Statement
of Attorney General Eric Holder Regarding a Preliminary Review
into the Interrogation of Certain Detainees
Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:05:42 -0500
I have reviewed the OPR report in depth. Moreover, I have closely
examined the full, still-classified version of the 2004 CIA Inspector
General’s report, as well as other relevant information
available to the Department. As a result of my analysis of all
of this material, I have concluded that the information known
to me warrants opening a preliminary review into whether federal
laws were violated in connection with the interrogation of specific
detainees at overseas locations.

And next YDGSU meeting isn't for a long

executive board is hard at work scheduling a fun social event
in the interim. Watch this space.
This same message has been sent out via

Weekly
Address: Myths and Morality in Health Insurance Reform
Posted by Jesse Lee
President Obama debunks the myths around
health insurance reform, and discusses the public option proposal
in which many of them are rooted -- but he focuses his address
on the stark moral and historical turning point at which we find
ourselves: "This is our chance to march forward. I cannot
promise you that the reforms we seek will be perfect or make
a difference overnight. But I can promise you this: if we pass
health insurance reform, we will look back many years from now
and say, this was the moment we summoned what’s best in
each of us to make life better for all of us. This was the moment
we built a health care system worthy of the nation and the people
we love. This was the moment we earned our place alongside the
greatest generations. And that is what our generation of Americans
is called to do right now."

Vote Tuesday for Alabama Stonewall Democrats
endorsees
The Stonewall Democrats have interviewed
the candidates and asked may questions, including their views
on discrimination and bullying policies, employment non-discrimination,
LGBT families and equal benefit policies. In addition, candidates
shared ideas and concerns specific to their district or the city,
unrelated to LGBT issues. We're pleased to announce our endorsement
of the following candidates. Please support all of these candidates
and urge your friends to vote for them.
District 2
Carol Duncan
City Council
Councilor Duncan’s priorities include
the environment, transit, economic development and working families.
While searching for ideal solutions that sustain growth and balance,
she embraced Smart Growth which changes the nature of dialog
from a reactionary growth/no growth debate to proactive discussion
of "how and where new development should be accommodated."
Virginia Volker
Board Of Education
Virginia brings years of education experience
to the board and has a record of being a listener. She has advocated
for an atmosphere of respect for teachers, students and parents,
and has urged teaching students to resolve conflict without resorting
to violence. She also supports teaching effective education of
real subjects rather than just teaching standardized test material.
District 3
Howard Bayless (active ASD member)
City Council
It's time Birmingham had an openly gay
council member; we have had enough of those in the closet! Howard
is highly qualified and is running to improve Birmingham's crime
rate, protect our neighborhoods and move the city forward. There
is a clear choice, more of the same or CHANGE! Vote Howard Bayless!
Elisa Burns-Macon (active ASD member)
Board Of Education
Elisa is in it for the right reason.....The
Children! With 23 years of front line experience in the classroom
she knows what we need to do: Safety first, lower classroom sizes
and accountability from the superintendent to the student. The
teacher knows! Vote Elisa Burns-Macon.
District 5
Johnathan Austin
City Council
Appointed to the City Council in December 2008, Johnathan pledges
to work on initiatives that unite Birmingham, make the city more
technologically friendly, open more bike lanes, improve personal
health, enhance the environment and create jobs. He is also determined
to motivate his peers to get more involved in public service.

On Tuesday, August 25, 9:00 a.m. EDT, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will host a workshop
available to the general public via an online webinar. The goal
of the workshop is to examine existing and potential uses of
broadband technology by public safety entities and ways in which
broadband technology can enhance homeland security. The workshop
will bring together representatives from the public safety community,
government agencies, industry, and academia to discuss interoperability,
redundancy, cyber security, 911, and pandemic response, among
other issues. The first panel will focus on use of broadband
applications by first responders to communicate emergency information
and to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies.
This panel will also explore issues relating to interoperability,
redundancy, and the cost of providing broadband access to public
safety. The second panel will focus on the impact of broadband
technology on particular homeland security issues, such as cyber
security, pandemics, bioterrorism, and critical infrastructure
vulnerabilities. The panel will also examine current and future
public safety use of managed IP-networks.
To join the webinar, you will first need to register and also
set up the required software on your computer prior to the event.
Visit the following website to register and for more details:

Don't forget, Young Democrats' first meeting
of fall is TOMORROW, August 24, at 4:30 in the Lanier Suite of
the Student Center (on the 2nd floor). Please come! We'll have
free pizza, talk about ways to become more politically active,
and a representative of Kasim Reed's mayoral campaign will stop
by as well.
That same morning, from 11 to 1, we'll
be at a table in the Library Plaza, so come say hi!
The next day, August 25, is the Student
Organization Fair on Gilmer Street from 11:30 to 1:30. You guessed
it, we'll be there! Young Dems are inescapable! ;)
We'd love to see you at any or all of these
upcoming events. If you have to be late due to class/lab/work
or anything else, that's okay, we totally understand. :)
See you soon!
Emma Harger, VP for Membership
