Weasel Clark 04 ^ | 1/6/04

Posted on 01/06/2004 10:10:55 AM PST by areafiftyone

Little Rock - Sunday, at a "Women for Clark" event in Manchester, New Hampshire, Dr. Mary Frances Berry officially endorsed General Clark. Dr. Berry will serve as a member of the Clark for President National Steering Committee.

"I've never endorsed a presidential candidate before," said Dr. Berry. "But when I talk to General Clark, and when I listen to him, I can see him as a president for all Americans."

General Clark was thrilled to receive Dr. Berry's endorsement.

"For years, Dr. Berry has been a powerful voice for justice - in the classroom, in our courts, and in the halls of Congress. She's devoted her career to standing up and speaking out for those who all too often are not heard, and we're a better nation because of her work," saidClark. "Dr. Berry is one of the greatest civil rights leaders of our time, and it's a profound honor to have her on my team."

Dr. Berry is Chair of the United States Commission on Civil Rights and a professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Berry led the Commission's investigation of voting rights violations in Florida in the wake of the 2000 election. The United States Commission on Civil Rights investigates civil rights violations and works to ensure that all citizens are afforded equal protection under the law.

Can someone give us an update on the civil rights commision status?

I remember we followed it pretty intensely when they were trying to "seat" a black conservative appointed by Bush and Berry said some other lady had to fill out the term instead. I think that guy finally won in court to get seated but whats happening now?

When do other dem terms expire?

When does Berry's?

THANKS!!!

As a federal government employee, isn't she prohibited from actively engaging in politics?

By enforcing programs that discriminate against people based on their skin color (quotas, minority set asides, affirmative action, racial based admission programs, etc...)

And let me add that Berry's endorsement of Clark does not surprise me. Clark represents the Clintons and Berry owes much to the Clintons.

When Berry's term ends is a matter of debate. The Grey Book (or some similar name I can not remember) lists the starting and ending dates for all appointed federal officals terms. It lists her term as ending on a date in December that I can not remember. But, on Berry's papers she lists her end date as the day AFTER inaguration, 2005.

Either way, she is done at the end of this term.

Hopefully. Though I have little to no faith that President Bush was ashcan her at the end of her term. I am willing to make a wager that he does not.

That is the most rediculous thing I have ever heard.

"I've never endorsed a presidential candidate before," said Dr. Berry.

I guess her endorsement of Leonid Brezhnev doesn't count?

You don't live near me, so a beer is not possible. How about $1 to make it simple and protect against you welching!

I won't be welching! Ping me if she's renewed. But I don't think he will do it.
