Extractions: 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. 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.

AALDEF's APA 2000 : Voting Rights
could not be verified through government databases. This proposed legislation wasonly targeted for five the states with the highest Asian American populations
http://www.aaldef.org/voting.html

Extractions: The ability to have a say in the workings of government, either as an elected official or as a voter, is a powerful empowerment tool. Asian Americans are the fastest growing ethnic population in the United States, yet the community's political strength has yet to be fully realized. There have been some major victories, such as Gary Locke's election as governor of Washington and David Wu's election to Congress from Oregon, and Asian American representation at the state and local levels continues to grow in California. Asian American civic participation continues to lag far behind the community's population growth, however, and voter registration rates are woefully low. In New York, which boasts the nation's second largest Asian American population at more than 800,000, there never was an Asian American elected to city-wide, state-wide or national office until John Liu's election to the City Council in 2001. This is a startling and perilous fact. The stereotype of Asian Americans as a model minority has obscured the continuing barriers that prevent Asian Americans from participating effectively as candidates or as voters. Barriers to Political Participation Throughout United States history, Asian Americans have been disenfranchised by discriminatory laws that denied citizenship to Asian immigrants and rendered them ineligible to vote. It was not until 1943 that Chinese Americans were first permitted to become citizens. For Asian Indians, it was 1946. For Japanese Americans and other Asian Americans, that right did not come until 1952. The legacy of these discriminatory policies and the notion of Asian Americans as foreigners is still strongly felt today, impeding Asian American political participation.

Extractions: DEFENSE: Senator Akaka is committed to enhancing the readiness of our Armed Forces and ensuring services and benefits for those who serve in the defense of our country. During the 107th Congress, Senator Akaka was instrumental in authorizing funding for military construction projects in Hawaii. Senator Akaka worked to authorize funding for the Photovoltaic Energy Park in Ewa Plains, to be run by Hawaiian Electric Company in joint partnership with the University of Hawaii and the Department of the Navy. Senator Akaka also worked with the Army to resolve training issues related to the use of the Makua Military Reservation on Oahu, and worked closely with the Department of the Navy and State of Hawaii to address remaining matters pertaining to the cleanup of unexploded ordnance (UXO) on the island of Kahoolawe. Senator Akaka inserted report language in the FY03 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)(P.L. 107-107) directing the Army to study the UXO problem at Waikoloa on the island of Hawaii, and to determine how to fund the clearance of UXO on this Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS site). Senator Akaka also worked to authorize funding for a study of the critical infrastructure vulnerabilities at Navy sites in Hawaii. HOMELAND SECURITY: Prior to the events of September 11, 2001, Senator Akaka had begun the debate over the appropriate means to ensure homeland security. In the first session of the 107th Congress, he examined the role of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts and reviewed the role of satellite imagery in assisting domestic agencies of the federal government to aid local and state officials in disaster relief.

Extractions: In what ways do Asian Americans have an impact on US government legislation? Are Asian American politicians representing youth effectively on local and national levels? What are the recognizable differences in the US government's sensitivity to Asian Americans since its past history of anti-Asian sentimentality? How effective have the lobbying efforts and political activism by community and non-profit organizations been in attaining equal rights, fair legislature and representation for Asian Americans? How have past and present legislation affected Asian American youth specifically? How can Asian American youth contribute to US politics? Facilitators: The scribe, the struggle, and the spoken word. In recent years, renewed interest and the popularization of the oral tradition of poetry, spoken word, has taken center stage. From the smoky bar to the university classroom, the hip-hop set to the picket line, performance poetry has proven to be a dynamic, vibrant method for deconstructing, re-envisioning, denouncing and announcing the sentiment of a generation. Through a series of writing intensive exercises, youth will explore their roles as storyteller, sage and activist as it pertains to the issues facing the APA community. Facilitators:

Extractions: "This chapter in our history shows why we cannot take our civil liberties and constitutional rights for granted," said Rep. Kip Takuda (D-Seattle). Takuda’s parents were among more than 110,000 Japanese Americans who were put into "internment camps" during World War II. "Remembering the past is a remedy for the future," said Takuda. "This bill is meant to prevent future abuses through education, because the greatest enemy to liberty isn’t tyranny, it’s ignorance and apathy." "Kip worked incredibly hard for this bill," said Rep. Sharon Tomiko Santos (D-Seattle). "He refused to quit. Without his leadership, this bill wouldn’t have happened." Santos recently visited the camp in Colorado where her mother was interned during World War II. She said it took 40 years for the government to admit it made a mistake. The Congressional Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians found that Japanese internment was not "justified by military necessity" but prompted by widespread racial prejudice, wartime hysteria, failure of national leadership, ignorance and fear.

Extractions: Includes: Bibliography, Index Table of Contents of the book. SUBJECT CATEGORY/CIP: American Government: Ethnic and Minority Politics SUMMARY OF THE BOOK: Asian Americans are emerging as a political force and yet their politics have not been systematically studied by either social scientists or politicians. Asian American politics transcend simple questions of voting behavior and elective office, going all the way back to early immigration laws and all the way forward to ethnic targeting. For the first time, this book brings together original sources on key topics influencing Asian American politics, knit together by expert scholars who introduce each subject and place it in context with political events and the greater emerging literature. Court cases, legislation, demographics, and key pieces on topics ranging from gender to Japanese American redress to the Los Angeles riots to Wen Ho Lee round out this innovative reader on a politically active group likely to grow in number and electoral impact.

Extractions: Members of UNO's Student Government Thursday expressed overwhelming opposition against a letter of statement in opposition of military action against Iraq. The letter, proposed by Graduate College Sen. Krissy Vogel, said the Student Government would "advocate diplomacy and compliance to the charter of the United Nations. We implore our nation's leaders to use wisdom and forethought to maintain peace." Vogel said the impending war "involves UNO very much so." "If war should happen, there would be an increase in hostility in the region," she said. "That means Bethsaida Excavations for a second year in a row would not be able to continue." UNO plays a leading role in the excavations of the ancient city, which is located on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee. Vogel also attempted to justify the passing of the letter for economic reasons.
