Will it be enough to get the Mathew Shepard Bill passed? Will President Obama even request Congress to do those things, or will it be like Bill Clinton, all show, and no action. Can Obama wield enough power, to get Congress to do the right thing, to insure equal rights for everyone, or will it fall on deaf ears, as it has in the past? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The US Senate has passed a Foreign Relations Aid Package, that increases the amount of money available for AIDS/HIV treatment in Africa. In fact they have basically TRIPLED the amount, and expect it will not be sidetracked by either the House of Representatives or the White House.
