DNC Releases Civil Rights Web Site

The Democratic National Committee has a new civil rights web site. John Aravosis has voiced his displeasure. There is nothing from the DNC about protecting the 14th amendment rights and citizenship of Hispanic children born in America. Nothing on gay marriage. Instead, the Democratic Party proposes civil unions. Courts will strike down civil unions for the same reason Jim Crow era "separate but equal" laws were ruled unconstitutional. All laws are to be imposed equally for all Americans. We can't create different laws for different groups of people. It is illegal and morally wrong.

Below is the DNC's new civil rights platform. I don't see this exciting the base.

* Strengthening the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to better protect voting rights;

* Enacting the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which includes measures prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity;

* Ensuring full civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples;

* Repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in a sensible way that strengthens our armed forces and our national security;

* Ending racial, ethnic, and religious profiling; and

* Building a fair and more equitable criminal justice system that provides non-violent offenders a second chance at a rehabilitated life.
