Extractions: Green Bay, WI 54305 RE: Resolution Resident Responsibility Act of 2002 Dear Mr. Simons: The purpose of this letter is to address our concern and opposition to the above resolution making English the official language of Brown County. From its inception, the United States has been a multilingual nation. At the time of the nation's founding, it was commonplace to hear as many as twenty languages spoken in daily life, including Dutch, French, German and numerous Native American languages. As a historical note, the Articles of Confederation were printed in German, as well as English. In Wisconsin our legislature in 1848 passed a measure publishing our constitution in English, German and Norwegian. Just as languages other than English have always been part of our history and culture, debate over establishing a national language date back to the country's beginning. John Adams proposed the Continental Congress in 1780 that an official academy be created to "purify, develop, and dictate usage of," English. His proposal was rejected as undemocratic and a threat to individual liberty.

Extractions: NGO Letter to the Office of the Global AIDS Initiative: 385 U.S. and international organizations call upon U.S. "to ensure that programs use the most affordable medicines available, and accept the current drug quality standards of World Health Organization's drug prequalification program," in a letter to Randall Tobias, 26 March 2004 March 26, 2004 Dear Ambassador Randall Tobias, We, the undersigned organizations, are writing to express our serious concerns about efforts by the Bush administration and by your office to block the use of affordable generic HIV/AIDS medicines in U.S.-financed programs in poor countries. In order to mount a rapid and successful response to the growing AIDS pandemic, we call upon you to ensure that programs use the most affordable medicines available, and accept the current drug quality standards of World Health Organization's drug prequalification program. We are particularly concerned about the U.S.-initiated "Conference on Fixed-Dose Combination (FDC) Drug Products: Scientific and Technical Issues related to Safety, Quality, and Effectiveness," 29-30 March 2004 in Gaborone, Botswana. This meeting needlessly casts doubt upon the clinically proven quality of generic AIDS medicines, and disregards the WHO's internationally recognized Drug Prequalification Program. The meeting is intended to justify the use of expensive, more complex branded treatment regimens, and will be used by the US as the minimum basis to justify its efforts to use bilateral assistance programs to lock generics out of developing countries. Of particular concern is your attempt to discredit the use of urgently needed fixed- dose combinations (FDCs) of antiretroviral AIDS medications.

This guide is designed to be followed as a research process, i.e., to research most efficiently, start at the top of this guide and work your way down when doing research. I would suggest that you first search the catalog and journal indexes, before going onto the web. There is quite a bit of information on the web, but it can be overwhelming (and perhaps misleading) if you haven't given yourself sufficient background information. This is a work in progress. As students choose their specific topics, I will add to this guide (focussing on those specific subjects). Please contact me for more information about your topic.

Extractions: Can the Rights of People Simply Disappear by Presidential Order? What does it mean when the President of the United States can on his own designate a citizen in the U.S. as an enemy combatant, and order the military to hold that person incommunicado, indefinitely, and without charges? The U.S. Supreme Court is now deciding whether the courts even have the right to question the Presidents action. What does it mean when the U.S. military internationally can literally snatch people off the street, designate them as enemy combatants, and assert that they are beyond the reach of either U.S. or international law? Many are transported to a facility under total U.S. control and funded by Congressional appropriations, where they are held incommunicado, indefinitely, without charges and some are threatened with trials before a military commission that falls short of basic standards of justice. If the Supreme Court upholds these actions, it will condone the Presidents claim of virtually unlimited wartime powers without a formal declaration of war by the Congress, and with no or extremely limited oversight by the courts or the Congress. On April 20 the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on the Presidents alleged right to create a law free zone at the Guantanamo detention center in Cuba. And on April 28, the Court will hear oral arguments on the Presidents asserted right to designate citizens as enemy combatants, hold them at the U.S. Navy base in Charleston, SC, and deny them the ability to challenge the lawfulness of their detention.
