---------------------------------------
CAPTION: Family and friends of Sean Bell continue what they are calling the fight for justice. Members of Congress went to Queens on Monday afternoon to talk about launching a federal probe into the case. (April 28)

[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]

CHARLES RANGEL
SOT: an injustice has been done...
SOT: this is a crime against humanity ---
Returning to the scene of so much controversy ---- the family of Sean Bell -- along with several high-profile politicians and civil rights activists.
They're protesting --what they call an injustice...(nats)
This march comes just days after a judge acquitted three New York Police Department officers in the shooting death of Bell---- and the serious wounding of his two friends.
Fifty shots were fired at the men ---in November of 2006, outside this stripclub where Bell and his companions had just left a bachelor party.
The officers said they believed the men had a gun and feared for their lives----
It was later discovered the three were unarmed.
JOHN CONYERS
SOT: we wanna make sure that justice is served --and that a message is sent out--not just to law enforcement --but to the young people of this country---to let them know that these kind of tragedies have to end in this country.
Conyers ---along with others ---are demanding federal charges be brought against the three officers.
JOHN CONYERS
SOT: if we are supporting democracy and justice around the world --we sure can have it in New York.
BUTT TO
AL SHARPTON
SOT: whatever we do will be in the spirit of Dr. King of non violence. The only violence seen here is the 50 shots experienced by Sean Bell.
The New York police detectives union considers this a closed case but requested a meeting with Conyers saying they wanted equal time.

Rep. Conyers' remarks at 2015 Color of Wealth Summit
Congressman John Conyers (D-MI), Dean of the U.S. House of Representatives, discusses the role of reparations and correcting past inequities in closing the racial wealth gap at the 2015 Color of Wealth Summit in Washington, DC: http://globalpolicysolutions.org/2015colorofwealthsummit/
For every dollar in wealth held by the typical white family in 2011, the typical Latino and African-American families only own six and five cents respectively. Lost in the conversation about inequality in America has been the fact that racial and ethnic wealth inequality is more stark, has a devastating impact on households of color, and, if left unchecked, will have profound implications for the U.S. economy as the nation’s demographics shift over the next few decades.
The summit seeks to engage Members of Congress, Congressional staff, the media, and the public in a dialogue about the racial wealth gap, its effect on marginalized households, its impact on the U.S. economy, and solutions for closing the gap.

Its title is a ten-letter backronym (USA PATRIOT) that stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001".
On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011, a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act: roving wiretaps, searches of business records, and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves"—individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups.

Medicare at 50: A Cost-Effective and Compassionate Model
Hosted by Rep. John Conyers, Jr., lead sponsor of H.R. 676, “The Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act”
Moderated by renowned journalist Bill Moyers, and featuring:
· Rep. Donna Edwards
· Rep. Jim McDermott
· Rep. Ted Lieu
· Sen. Bernie Sanders (invited)
· Rep. Jan Schakowsky (invited)
· Wendell Potter, Health Insurance Whistleblower, Center for Public Integrity
· Robert Weissman, President, Public Citizen

· Andrea Miller, Executive Director, People Demanding Action
Medicare 50th Anniversary Cupcakes by Georgetown Cupcake will be provided
On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law legislation that established the Medicare program, immediately providing health insurance for 20 million Americans aged 65 and older. Before Medicare’s implementation, approximately half of all seniors lacked health insurance.
For Americans under 65, the Affordable Care Act was an important catalyst for positive change. But today, nearly 12 percent of Americans remain without health insurance, while United States continues to spend almost twice as much per person on health care as any other country. Billing and insurance-related administrative costs totaled $471 billion in 2012, with 80 percent of these costs a result of inefficiencies in our for-profit, multipayer healthcare system.
Medicare’s model may hold the answer to these challenges: Administrative costs in Medicare are only about 2 percent of operating expenditures, compared with private insurance administrative costs of 17 percent.
This panel will discuss the successes of Medicare, review the major advances – and challenges – of the Affordable Care Act, and chart a path forward towards the “Medicare for All,” single-payer system that is supported by more than half of Americans and is the standard for care in the developed world.

What Is Wrong with the Patriot Act? Bernie Sanders on Amending the Law (2005)
The USA PATRIOT Act is an Act of Congress that was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. Its title is a ten-letter backronym (USA PATRIOT) that stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001".
On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011, a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act: roving wiretaps, searches of business records, and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves"—individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups.
Following a lack of Congressional approval, parts of the Patriot Act expired on June 1, 2015. With the passage of the USA Freedom Act on June 2, 2015 the expired parts were restored and renewed through 2019. However, Section 215 of the law was amended to stop the NSA from continuing its mass phone data collection program. Instead, phone companies will retain the data and the NSA can obtain information about targeted individuals with permission from a federal court.
The USA PATRIOT Act has generated a great deal of controversy since its enactment.
Opponents of the Act have been quite vocal in asserting that it was passed opportunistically after the September 11 attacks, believing that there would have been little debate. They view the Act as one that was hurried through the Senate with little change before it was passed. (Senators Patrick Leahy and Russell Feingold proposed amendments to modify the final revision.)
The sheer magnitude of the Act itself was noted by Michael Moore in his controversial film Fahrenheit 9/11. In one of the scenes of the movie, he records Congressman Jim McDermott alleging that no Senator had read the bill and John Conyers, Jr. as saying, "We don't read most of the bills. Do you really know what that would entail if we read every bill that we passed?" Congressman Conyers then answers his own rhetorical question, asserting that if they did it would "slow down the legislative process". As a dramatic device, Moore then hired an ice-cream van and drove around Washington, D.C. with a loud speaker, reading out the Act to puzzled passers-by, which included a few Senators.
However, Moore was not the only commentator to notice that not many people had read the Act. When Dahlia Lithwick and Julia Turne for Slate asked, "How bad is PATRIOT, anyway?", they decided that it was "hard to tell" and stated:
The ACLU, in a new fact sheet challenging the DOJ Web site, wants you to believe that the act threatens our most basic civil liberties. Ashcroft and his roadies call the changes in law "modest and incremental." Since almost nobody has read the legislation, much of what we think we know about it comes third-hand and spun. Both advocates and opponents are guilty of fear-mongering and distortion in some instances.
One prime example of a controversy of the Patriot Act is shown in the case of Susan Lindauer.
Another is the recent court case United States v. Antoine Jones. A nightclub owner was linked to a drug trafficking stash house via a law enforcement GPS tracking device attached to his car. It was placed there without a warrant, which caused a serious conviction obstacle for federal prosecutors in court. Through the years the case rose all the way to the United States Supreme Court where the conviction was overturned in favor of the defendant. The court found that increased monitoring of suspects caused by such legislation like the Patriot Act directly put the suspects' Constitutional rights in jeopardy.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has criticized the law as unconstitutional, especially when "the private communications of law-abiding American citizens might be intercepted incidentally",[211] while the Electronic Frontier Foundation held that the lower standard applied to wiretaps "gives the FBI a 'blank check' to violate the communications privacy of countless innocent Americans".[50] Others do not find the roving wiretap legislation to be as concerning. Professor David D. Cole of the Georgetown University Law Center, a critic of many of the provisions of the Act, found that though they come at a cost to privacy are a sensible measure[212] while Paul Rosenzweig, a Senior Legal Research Fellow in the Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at the Heritage Foundation, argues that roving wiretaps are just a response to rapidly changing communication technology that is not necessarily fixed to a specific location or device.
