Well, you're right of course that if the church invited Jannie and Tom to speak that it may have been illegal and may have violated their 501c status. But before you can go filing lawsuits, you need to know specifically that the church _invited_ Councilwoman Blackwell and Tom Knox to speak and

Jannie's comment on channel six seems to be a _direct_ denial of their testiments that they were working for a partisan campaign: This was not a Knox rally. This was a community rally. I asked nobody to do anything for a Knox rally. I asked them to do it for a community fair in the park

Though as Glenn pointed out, there are ways that this could have happened where everyone is telling the truth -- for example: 1) A community picnic is scheduled, Jannie asks John Fenton to help. 2) John comes and sets up bbq grills and a moon bounce. Children are pleased. 3) While this is

I think I asked this before, but in case I didn't: What has been proven to be 'illegal' about UCD's use of community service workers? If there are laws being broken by this system of labor use, I'm sure we'd all like to know about it. Please be specific. Thanks.

Again with the comprehension problems, Cassidy? A prisoner is not just defined as one who resides in a prison. The people in the community service program are forced against their will to provide free labor as a form of punishment. If they refuse, the punishment gets more severe. They are
