While I think the whole McCain idea of linking Obama to terrorism via Ayers or to poor judgment - nonetheless when reading the statement "support 4 Bill Ayers" - my thinking is when will Bill Ayers speak up and explain his role/responsibility in the Bill Ayers/Obama controversy- after all he is the one who was the terrorist and Obama was just a child during the time of his domestic terrorist acts - - Perhaps he has been asked to keep quiet - don't know... It seems to be a bit of White privilege - Ayers doesn't have to explain... and Obama might just have to pay the price. rhs

This is a web site and petition to support Bill Ayers, who has been a
devoted scholar and activist in education and unfairly used by the
McCain campaign to link Obama to "terrorism." If you're so inclined,

2008 Annual Conference
Conference Theme: Our Hopes, Our Voice, Our Future
November 9-11, Philadelphia
Join 1,000 leaders from throughout the nonprofit community as we discover
the best ways to use our powerful voice to secure brighter futures for
people across the country and around the world. Be a part of identifying and
developing creative approaches that charities, foundations, and corporate
giving programs can use to strengthen our communities and fulfill the hopes
of millions of people for better lives.
At the heart of the conference will be four insightful plenary sessions:
- The opening plenary will analyze the results of the 2008 election,
including what it reveals about the hopes and concerns of the American
people
- The "Conversation with a Sector Leader" will feature Ford Foundation
President Luis Ubi?as;
- The luncheon plenary will start with insights from new IRS Commissioner
Douglas Shulman, then move to IS President and CEO Diana Aviv's keynote
address on the challenges facing our organizations and our communities,
particularly in light of the elections; and
- The closing plenary will use the historic 2008 campaign as a starting
point for an examination of the state of race and gender in America.
More on Independent Sector
Independent Sector is the leadership forum for charities, foundations, and
corporate giving programs committed to advancing the common good in America
and around the world. Our nonpartisan coalition of approximately 600
organizations leads, strengthens, and mobilizes the charitable community in
order to fulfill our vision of a just and inclusive society and a healthy
democracy of active citizens, effective institutions, and vibrant
communities.
Our Work
Independent Sector serves as the premier meeting ground for the leaders of
America's charitable and philanthropic sector. Since our founding in 1980,
we have sponsored ground-breaking research, fought for public policies that
support a dynamic, independent sector, and created unparalleled resources so
staff, boards, and volunteers can improve their organizations and better
serve their communities.
Independent Sector fulfills our mission by:
- Convening opportunities for sector leaders to work together on key issues.
The most prominent forum of this kind is the Independent Sector Annual
Conference, but IS committees are another key part of developing collective
strategies.
- Promoting policies that enable the charitable community to engage with
public officials on a nonpartisan basis. IS is currently focusing on issues
such as protecting advocacy rights of nonprofits, promoting tax incentives
for charitable giving, and addressing federal and state budget concerns.
- Supporting the development and dissemination of strategies to strengthen
volunteering, voting, giving, and other forms of citizen engagement.
- Encouraging the sector to meet the highest standards of ethical practice
and effectiveness. As part of our continuing efforts in this area, IS has
convened the Panel on the Nonprofit Sector, which is making recommendations
in the areas of governance, fiduciary responsibility, government oversight,
self-regulation, and financial accountability.
- Serving as the voice of the independent sector to the media, government,
business, and international voluntary communities.

Dear Education Champion,
We are so excited about Barack Obama's profound commitment to
providing a world-class education for all children, regardless of
their background. In order to lead us in closing the achievement gap,
though, Barack first needs our help in closing the gap of a different
kind: that on the electoral map. In 2004, George W. Bush beat John
Kerry by a total of just over two million votes in the battleground
states of Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia,
Missouri and Nevada. In order for Barack to be successful on November
4th, it is critical that he close that two million vote gap in this
crucial group of states.
We have set the ambitious goal of, through our various networks,
reaching out to 500,000 battleground state voters in the next four
weeks. If we are to do so, this could potentially mean reaching one
fourth of 2004's two million vote gap. In order to do so, though,
we're going to need your help: Contact with 500,000 potential voters
means 10,000 volunteers reaching out to 50 individuals each.
Additionally, in order to help the campaign effectively distribute
their resources where they are needed most, we are also committed to
raising at least $500,000 in donations.
With this in mind, we're excited to announce the launch of our very
own website around these simultaneous efforts to close the Bush-Kerry
voting gap in the short-term and the achievement gap for the long-
term. Please visit this site at: http://www.closingthegaps.us <http://www.closingthegaps.us/
>
On this site, in addition to finding information on our work and
Barack's critical education principles, you'll find out about the
following ways to get further involved between now and November 4th:
1) Get out the vote! Help from inside or outside these key
battleground states by:
A) Joining on as a Barack for Education regional coordinator to
engage and energize voters by either moving to a swing state for the
final 25 days or participating in organized weekend trips.
B) Placing calls to voters in key states and canvassing in
important swing precincts.
C) Hosting a Barack for Education event at your home or work or
organizing a Barack for Education happy hour.
D) Supporting Barack's media presence by writing a Letter to the
Editor or Op-Ed in your local newspaper. You can also increase Obama's
visibility by posting comments in response to education- and/or Obama-
related articles on your local paper's website.
2) Donate whatever amount you can to Barack's campaign, through our
Barack for Education MyBO group <http://my.barackobama.com/page/outreach/view/maingroup/ChampionsforEducation
>. Donations can be made at any time and will be tracked collectively
to demonstrate the impact of educators in these closing weeks!
3) Sign our Letter of Support for Senator Obama and his education
principles.
Please review and send this along to your personal networks within the
next 48 hours. Given the stakes of this election, help us get this
message out to as many people as possible by forwarding to at least
three people, but ideally ten or more.
Thanks so much for your support. We truly believe that if we can help
close this two million vote gap between now and November 4th, it will
go a long way toward one day soon closing the achievement gap for our
children!
Sincerely,
Barack for Education Team

"What are the standards that we have? If we're concerned about
unarmed truth--understanding this condition of truth is allowing
suffering to speak--and unconditional love--understanding justice is
what love looks like in public--then the question is, what suffering
voices do we hear...and what kinds of concerns about justice are made
manifest...?
