As President of the National League of Cities, I have been fortunate to be able to lead the Building a Nation of Inclusive Communities Program. I believe that this will have a profound effect on America's cities.

Abramoff Equal Justice???

I've been trying to find something positive in the sentencing of Lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Why doesn't one of these guys stand up and say "I am the root of a sickness in America and I will serve my time and try to find some small way to be readmitted to the human race". He had over 300 people send letters to the judge to say what a great guy he was. I can see his twisted sense of values when it came to stealing millions of dollars but I can't believe that he doesn't see what he did to thousands of Native Americans. Not stealing their money, but the disrespect and derogatory language that he used in his dealing with them. The genocide of the Native Americans is a stain that will never wash off of the soils of America. What else did he consider before he decided to rip off the Indian casinos?

Dear Jack,

Why didn't you "write" 300 letters to Native Americans and let justice be served. The children living on reservations in substandard housing will suffer for a lifetime for your crimes, while you will be out in a few years. Hardly equal justice.

Sorry to be so bitter, but I doubt you will every truly "pay your debt to society".
