No woman had been nominated for either office by a major party until July 12, 1984 when Democratic Presidential nominee Walter Mondale chose Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate. The Cabinet includes the Vice President and, by law, the heads of 15 executive departments-the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, and the Attorney General. Under George W. Bush, Cabinet-level rank is also held by the Environmental Protection Agency Administrator; the Director of the Office of Management and Budget; the Director of the National Drug Control Policy; the U.S. Trade Representative and the President's Chief of Staff. George W. Bush has appointed 4 women to his cabinet - Elaine Chao (Labor), Gale Norton (Interior), Ann Veneman (Agriculture) and Christine Todd Whitman (EPA).

Lloyd Sealy Library John Jay College of Criminal Justice ASIAN and ASIAN AMERICAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND LEGAL STUDIES A Research Guide to the Lloyd Sealy Library by Nancy Egan Reference Librarian This guide is designed to serve as an introduction to the resources in the John Jay College Library in the areas of Asian criminal justice and legal studies and Asian American criminal justice and legal studies. The aim of this guide is to help the users of the John Jay Library to locate the material that the Library has in this field and suggest some additional resources available in New York City. The first and second sections of the guide have been devoted to Asian and Asian American criminal justice and legal studies respectively. It was arranged in this manner so that the researcher of Asian American studies may first look through the sources pertaining to Asia to gain an understanding of the history of the cultures and the laws which govern them, the possible sociological, political, or economic causes of criminal behavior, and the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of corrections in these groups. The section on Asian American criminal justice is concerned with the study of criminal behavior among these ethnic groups and the legal system’s response as well as Asian American victimization by criminals or by the legal system in this country. While the bibliography concentrates largely on the materials available in the reference and reference law collections, much more information is available in the circulation and periodical collections. This guide will go over any databases or indexes needed to search for information in these sources. In addition, electronic resources as well as many libraries in the New York City area can also be consulted. The third section of this guide contains information on all of these resources.

During the fiscal year ending September 30, the SBA backed 76,465 loans to small businesses in the agency's three major loan programs. "These loans demonstrate our commitment to meeting the unique financing needs of small businesses everywhere, and the impressive increase we have posted for the past year validates our approach to making smaller loans more readily available to the real job creation engine of our economy," said SBA Administrator Hector V. Barreto. "By focusing on a smaller average loan size we are leveraging our resources to assisting more small businesses and creating more jobs. Based on statements from our borrowers, our financial backing helped the small businesses of America create or retain more than 526,000 jobs."

dd mission statement board of directors program for action membership services ... home: about jacl The History of the JACL The Japanese American Citizens League, the nation's oldest and largest Asian American civil rights organization, was founded in 1929 to address issues of discrimination targeted specifically at persons of Japanese ancestry residing in the United States. In California, where the majority of Japanese Americans resided, there were over one hundred statutes in California that proscribed the limits of rights of anyone of Japanese ancestry. Organizations like the Grange Association and Sons of the Golden West exerted powerful influence on the state legislature and on Congress to limit participation and rights of Japanese Americans, and groups like the Japanese Exclusion League were established with the sole purpose of ridding the state of its Japanese population, even those who were American citizens by birth. Amidst this hostile environment, the JACL was established to fight for the civil rights primarily of Japanese Americans but also for the benefit of Chinese Americans and other peoples of color. Although still a small, California-based organization, the JACL was one of only a few organizations in the 1920s and 1930s willing to challenge the racist policies of the state and federal governments. With limited resources and virtually no experience in state or federal politics, the JACL nevertheless took it upon itself to set the course for civil rights for persons of Asian ancestry in the West Coast region of the United States as well as at the federal level by combating congressional legislation aimed at excluding the rights of Japanese Americans and Asian Americans.

Home Updated on May 31, 2004 Current Legislation and Issues FBI statistics show increases in reported hate crimes at the same time that other serious crime continues to decrease nationally. Violence based on a person's membership in a minority group is a matter of national concern; yet many states lack comprehensive hate crimes laws. Federal prosecutors should be empowered to assist state and local authorities to ensure that justice is achieved in every case. The Hate Crimes Prevention Act would begin to bring uniformity to the categories covered under current federal hate crimes law. Current limitations in the law Overview of the Hate Crimes Prevention Act Current status of the bill Organizations Endorsing the Hate Crimes Prevention Act Current Limitations in the Law Current law (18 U.S.C. 245) permits federal prosecution of a hate crime only if the crime was motivated by bias based on race, religion, national origin, or color, and the assailant intended to prevent the victim from exercising a "federally protected right" (e.g. voting, attending school, etc.) This dual requirement substantially limits the potential for federal assistance in investigating or prosecuting hate crimes, even when the crime is particularly heinous.

60. Taiwan: Independence Or Unification? | Asian American Issues | Goldsea discussion on this and other Asian American issues at problem is that the current government cannot express with these nonsense plans they put in legislation. http://goldsea.com/Air/Issues/Taiwan/taiwan_30219.html

GOLDSEA ASIAMS.NET ASIAN AMERICAN ISSUES TAIWAN INDEPENDENCE OR UNIFICATION? (Updated Wednesday, Feb 19, 2003, 08:35:57 AM) he most pressing Asian foreign policy issue currently faced by the U.S. is the Taiwan question. The email we receive in reaction to our articles relating to this issue suggests that it's an emotional one for many of our readers. Perhaps one reason for the emotion is the fact that the issue isn't amenable to an easy or simple solution. The first historical mention of Taiwan appears to have been when Portugese traders found it to be a resting place on their journey to Japan and named it Isla Formosa. Beijing's claim to Taiwan dates back to the 16th century when a Chinese general fought off the Portugese to claim the island for the emperor. In 1895 the expansion-minded Japanese annexed it after defeating China in a war on the Corean peninsula. China briefly reestablished sovereignty over Taiwan following Japan's defeat in August of 1945. At the time the official government of China, as recognized by most nations of the world, was under the control of the Kuomingtang headed by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. He was engaged in a desperate war against Mao Tse-tung's peasant army. Despite billions of dollars of aid by the U.S. based mainly on intensely partisan reporting by Henry Luce's Time/Life empire, the spectacularly corrupt Chiang lost that war and fled to Taiwan with 2.5 million followers. He established the present government of Taiwan on December 7, 1949 and proclaimed it the sole legitimate government of all China. Mao made the same claim. The claims competed until 1971 when it became clear to most of the world that Mao's was more persuasive. Taiwan was kicked out of the UN. The Beijing government took its place as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, a seat given in recognition of China's role in fighting Japan in World War II.
