Condi and Singh

US-Indian relations are certainly at a high in the afterglow of their Nuclear Deal's approval by the US Congress, but that has not stopped Condi Rice from raising the prickly issue of the genocide of Christians in the Eastern Indian State of Orissa in her meeting with the Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh.

Almost a hundred Christians have been slaughtered, fourteen churches and hundreds of Christain homes burn, and at least one nun raped by by Hindu mobs who believe that India is for Hindus and is made impure by the presence of other races, ethnicities and religions.

Rev. Madhu Chandra, All India Christian Council (aicc) Regional Secretary, said, "What most people don't realize is the goal of the attackers is to inspire fear. The attackers believe India is only for Hindus and their stated purpose is to convert people to Hinduism or force them to leave. To accomplish this, they only need to kill one or two people in each village or church. This is clearly terrorism and ethnic cleansing, but few Indian leaders are admitting it."

Modern day India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka comprise the holy land of Hindu mythology where ancient dieties were born and undertook epic battles a la the Greeks and Trojans. The Holy books of the Hindus, the Gitas, were also first popularized in the northern India and Pakistan.

Religious minority leaders believe that police and other state authorities, which are dominated by Hindus, do not do enough to rein in the mobs of their co-religionists.

Dr. Joseph D'souza, aicc president, said, "The events of the last month, not only the attacks but the negligence of government, would be sad if it happened in a dictatorship or a totalitarian regime. The fact that it's happening in the world's largest democracy makes it infinitely sadder."

    Dear Citizen:


    Are you ready yet for the November 4th Elections?   How about your friends, family, and neighbors?  


    More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out!  Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:


    s     Are you registered to vote?  If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?


    s     Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot?  Do you know your state may not require any reason? 


    s     Can you find your local Polling Place?  Do you know it may have changed from last time?


    The answers to these questions -- and all your voting needs -- can be found at www.StateDemocracy.org -- the FREE 1-Stop citizen empowerment portal that Delivers Democracy to your Desktop!   StateDemocracy is among the Internet’s first (since 2001) and most encompassing civic empowerment tools. 


    In order to boost voter participation this year, StateDemocracy.org is offering FREE widgets for all 50 states.  You can simply download and embed these widgets into your own website so your visitors can register to vote, get an absentee ballot or find their local polling place.


    Lobby Congress Via StateDemocracy

    StateDemocracy.org also equips you to maintain an active dialog with your state and federal lawmakers once they are elected.  And RIGHT NOW is an especially opportune time to contact your U.S. Senators and House Member, as Congress takes up major legislation on such issues as offshore oil drilling, another economic stimulus package and all federal appropriations bills over the next few weeks.


    As you lobby your elected officials, remember that lawmakers view your constituent input as reflective of scores of other citizens who felt similarly, but didn’t have (or take) the time to share their opinions.


    LobbyDelegates.com Further Empowered Grassroots Voices

    Over the past 5 months, you may have visited www.LobbyDelegates.com, along with 26,000 other visitors.  This latest public interest portal by the StateDemocracy Foundation remained the only online tool enabling rank-and-file Democrats to lobby all 800+ Super Delegates on which candidate to back for the party’s Presidential nomination. 


    StateDemocracy Foundation Website Users Unite!

    Many of you have used our StateDemocracy.org and LobbyDelegates.com tools in recent times, and have hopefully found your experience uplifting and empowering.  I encourage all of you to help spread the news about StateDemocracy.org to enable more of our fellow citizens to Connect!  Engage! And Empower!
