The ePluribus Media Journal article, The Voting Rights Act, Voter Disfranchisement and the Tail Wagging the Dog looks at how the Civil Rights Division appears to be morphing into a tool to manipulate elections.

Control seems to be held by a "shadow" Civil Rights Division - populated by ideologues and their fellow travelers -- which has usurped litigation decisions, the hiring process, training and the Division's traditional civil rights agenda.

I am retiring after 33 years in the Civil Rights Division, with 28 of those years in the Voting Section.  I leave with fond memories of the Voting Section I once knew and I am gladly escaping the "Plantation" it has become.

For my colleagues still under the "whip", hold on - "The Times They are A Changing".

Hold onto your hats, there's more information coming out daily. Under the Bush Administration, the entity named Civil Rights is being twisted to mean the very opposite -- just as the Bush Administration's "black is white" rhetoric uses Clear Skies to license polluters, Healthy Forests to rape our National Parks, and the No Child Left Behind under funded mandate to leave the schools that are servicing predominately minorities and the less priviledged very far behind indeed.
