So has our Congress done anything about the SAIPAN SWEATSHOP/PROSTITUTION yet?
This was the symbol of everything wrong with the DeLay regime, but since, the elction, I've heard nothing about it. In the last Congress, there were actually more than enough votes to pass a bill to end it-but DeLay blocked it from getting to the floor. Pelosi was one of the harshest critics of this.

So what's going on? I've heard nothing on either the mainstream oror progressive media?
Has anything been done? Are not hearing about it?
It can't be for lack of support if its stalled.
Is this issue forgotten?
I'd like to know

One of the fired U.S. attorneys was replaced by a guy who used to be working in Guam. I'm not sure what the connection may be, but stoke up the search engine...
