[GoLeft TV]

This segment originally aired on the December 8th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. The Department of Justice thinks that their recent fraud settlement with JP Morgan proves that they are finally getting serious about cracking down on Wall Street fraud. But the settlement is not worth celebrating. Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio discusses this with attorney James Kauffman.

"Take Action: National Call-In Day for Sentencing Reform TODAY"

Wednesday, December 11, 2013

After decades of "get tough" rhetoric, Republicans and Democrats in Congress are finally coming together to say “enough.”

This week, the U.S. Senate is scheduled to take up legislation to address our unjust and racially discriminatory sentencing laws. One of the bills expected to be considered at this week's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, the Smarter Sentencing Act (S. 1410), takes two significant steps forward. First, it reduces overly harsh penalties for drug offenses and allows judges greater flexibility in sentencing. Second, it extends the more equitable crack cocaine provisions of the Fair Sentencing Act retroactively to individuals serving prison terms under the now discredited 100-to-1 quantity disparity -- a disparity that has had a devastating impact on African American communities.

We need your help. On Wednesday, Dec. 11, civil rights and criminal justice advocates, faith-based groups, and others are joining together to tell their Senators to support sentencing reform.

To join this effort, please call the Senate switchboard TODAY at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to each of the Senators from your state. When you are connected, urge your Senator to address unjust sentences and racial disparities in the criminal justice system by supporting the Smarter Sentencing Act, S. 1410.
