POPSOn Russia suing Bank of NY under US RICO law Then there was the role being played by Miami injury lawyer Steven Marks, who openly pitched the lawsuit to the Russian government; while he's hardly the first stateside lawyer to sell the idea of litigation against U.S. companies to foreign sovereigns, that trend in itself is one that deserves closer attention.

POPSHow Obama Quietly Targets Black Voters "If you didn't notice it, then you probably weren't the target," said Obama spokesman Corey Ealons of the targeted advertising. He described the campaign's general voter registration drive — which has focused heavily on young voters, as well as African-Americans — as "a very extensive effort and that's been one of the highlights and major focuses of the campaign." Obama's campaign is led by two of America's leading experts on the subtle dynamics of race and politics: the candidate himself and consultant David Axelrod, who has made a specialty of helping to elect black mayors and, more recently, the first black governor of Massachusetts. The model has been consistent: a media campaign that focuses intensely on white swing voters and a massive push to bring to the polls black voters who need no convincing of the historic nature of the candidacy.

POPSFormer rulers, father and son on trial Emmanuel — also known as Chuckie Jr. — was born in Boston and spent most of his life in Orlando, Fla. before moving to Liberia when he was a teenager to be with his father. There, prosecutors say, he led a notorious unit blamed for silencing Taylor's critics. Taylor meanwhile is charged with orchestrating atrocities by rebels in Sierra Leone from 1996-2002 while he was ruling Liberia. "Many of the people who commit these crimes perceive that if they win they're in the presidential palace for life, if they lose they'll find exile somewhere and live comfortably," Rapp said. "We really want to eliminate that perception that you can get away with these things."

POPSACLU Helping Felons Vote: With Registration Deadline Fast Approaching Lewis is pushing for automatic restoration -- so that rights are restored upon completion of incarceration or supervision. ''There are tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people in the state whose rights have been restored and they may not know it,'' Howard Simon, executive director of the Florida branch of the ACLU, said Monday. ''Everyone who can vote should vote,'' said Benjamin Burton, executive director of Miami Coalition for the Homeless and The League of Women Voters. The ACLU estimates that 115,000 people have had their voting rights restored but only 9,000 have registered. ''People leaving prison will be our neighbors,'' said Brad Brown, vice president of the Miami Dade chapter of the NAACP. ``The very first step to being integrated is that right to vote. That is the first step to being a good neighbor and forming strong communities.'

The truth is the truth...the images, actual footage, iman's presentations and recruitment don't lie.
