Voting deadline: January 4369
Description[?]:
| The Luthori Workers' Committee believe that confidence and liberty need to be restored to our justice system. In order to achieve this we believe, 1. There needs to be true equality before the law by ensuring that all citizens have equitable legal representation, money must not be able to buy justice. 2. That voting rights be returned to those who have served their sentences, especially given repressive nature, and the at times downright bizarre, laws the government has created over the past two decades. 3. We demand an end to the death penalty, the symbol of an unjust legal framework. The right of appeal, or a retrial in light of new evidence, is something which must always remain open those incarcerated. Jon Healey, Luthori Workers' Committee |

| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
