In honor of Google's 10th birthday, they've brought back their oldest available search index -- from January 2001. First blush scan -- it appears to feature Barack Obama Material NOT currently available in more recent search indices -- there may well be something here that Obama's people have not yet had a chance to purge -- but there is a lot of stuff here and i need help scanning it... also it may be worthwhile to search Jeremiah Wright, Rezko, Michelle Obama (+her maiden name). I know it may be a longshot -- and i'm prepared to be flammed and wear my tinfoil hat -- but god works in mysterious ways - Anybody up to help?

REFRAMING GUN VIOLENCE AS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE
Gun violence is a leading cause of death and injury in
America, and it is steadily increasing. There are now 38,000 gun
deaths a year in America, a number that continues to climb. Gun
deaths of young people are increasing at an especially high rate.
While the Surgion General of the United States and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have acknowledged gun
violence as a public health epidemic, most laws and public
policies treat gun violence as a purely criminal problem. The
Foundation’s focus is on reframing gun violence as a public
health issue.
The Joyce Foundation seeks to foster broader public
understanding of the health implications of gun violence - an
understanding that will lead to strategies that emphasize
prevention and do not rely solely on punishment.
In the interest of decreasing gun injuries and deaths in
America, the Foundation will consider proposals directed toward
the following goals:
o strengthening public policies that deal with gun
violence as apublic health issue;
o developing, coordinating, and disseminating policy
research that collects and analyzes gun violence data
from a public health perspective and examines
prevention strategies;
o encouraging and strengthening the activity of medical
professionals in addressing gun violence as a public
health issue;
o supporting coalitions that address gun violence as a
public health issue and promote policies that reflect
that view; and
o increasing public awareness of gun violence as a public
health issue.
In general, we will limit our consideration to proposals
focusing on gun violence rather than on broader violence issues.
We seek proposals that place a priority on evaluating the impact
of their work and that include an evaluation plan. Because of
the Foundation’s Midewest focus, locally oriented proposals from
outside the Midwest region are unlikely to receive support.

Barack Obama
Barack Obama is running to gain the Democratic ballot line for Illinois Senate 13th District. The 13th District is Alice Palmer’s old district, encompassing parts of Hyde Park and South Shore.
Mr. Obama graduated from Columbia University and promptly went into community organizing for the Developing Communities Project in Roseland and Altgeld Gardens on the far south side of Chicago. He went on to Harvard University, where he was editor of the Harvard Law Review. He graduated with a law degree. In 1992, he was Director of Illinois Project Vote, a voter registration campaign that made Carol Moseley Braun’s election to the U.S. Senate much easier than it would have been. At present, he practices law in Judson Miner’s law firm and is President of the board of the Annenberg Challenge Grant which is distributing some $50 million in grants to public school reform efforts.
What best characterizes Barack Obama is a quote from an article in Illinois Issues, a retrospective look at his experience as a community organizer while he was completing his degree at Harvard:
“... community organizations and organizers are hampered by their own dogmas about the style and substance of organizing. Most practice ... a ‘consumer advocacy’ approach, with a focus on wrestling services and resources from outside powers that be. Few are thinking of harnessing the internal productive capacities, both in terms of money and people, that already exist in communities.” (Illinois issues, September, 1988)
Luckily, Mr. Obama does not have any opposition in the primary. His opponents have all dropped out or were ruled off the ballot. But if you would like to contribute to his campaign, make the check payable to Friends of Barack Obama, 2154 E. 71st, Chicago, IL 60649. If you would like to become involved in his campaign, call the headquarters at (312) 363-1996.

Isn’t this something Team McCain has probably already found? If not, you need to send this to the RNC ASAP.
Some Basic Facts About Chicago DSA
Chicago DSA is affiliated with the national Democratic Socialists of America but is separately incorporated. Anyone paying national membership dues in the Chicago area is automatically a member of the Chicago DSA local. Chicago DSA is incorporated as an Illinois non-profit corporation and, like DSA nationally, has 501c4 status from the IRS. This means we are tax exempt but contributions are not tax deductible. It also means our electoral participation is limited in much the same way as participation by labor unions is limited.

Should a child ever be called a “super predator?”
A panel at the University of Chicago debates the merits of the juvenile justice system
Children who kill are called “super predators,” “people with no conscience,” “feral pre-social beings”–and “adults.”
William Ayers, author of A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court(Beacon Press, 1997), says “We should call a child a child. A 13-year-old who picks up a gun isn’t suddenly an adult. We have to ask other questions: How did he get the gun? Where did it come from?”
Ayers, who spent a year observing the Cook County Temporary Juvenile Detention Center in Chicago, is one of four panelists who will speak on juvenile justice at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, in the C-Shop of the Reynolds Club, 5706 S. University Ave.
The panel, which marks the 100th anniversary of the juvenile justice system in the United States, is part of the Community Service Center’s monthly discussion series on issues affecting the city of Chicago.
The event is free and open to the public.
Ayers will be joined by Illinois State Sen. Barack Obama, Senior Lecturer in the University of Chicago Law School, who is working to block proposed legislation that would throw more juvenile offenders into the adult system; Randolph Stone, Director of the Mandel Legal Aid Clinic at the University of Chicago; Alex Correa, a reformed juvenile offender who spent 7 years in Cook County Temporary Detention Center; Frank Tobin, a former priest and teacher in the Detention Center who helped Correa; and Willy Baldwin, who grew up in public housing and is currently a teacher in the Detention Center.
The juvenile justice system was founded by Chicago reformer Jane Addams, who advocated the establishment of a separate court system for children which would act like a “kind and just parent” for children in crisis.
One hundred years later, the system is “overcrowded, under-funded, over-centralized and racist,” Ayers said.
Michelle Obama, Associate Dean of Student Services and Director of the University of Chicago Community Service Center, hopes bringing issues like this to campus will open a dialogue between members of the University community and the broader community.
“We know that issues like juvenile justice impact each of us who live in the city of Chicago. This panel gives community members and students a chance to hear about the juvenile justice system not only on a theoretical level, but from the people who have experienced it.”
