Goyal is coming to Minnesota to build grassroots support for an outreach campaign to double the Peace Corps by 2011, the 50th anniversary of the organization launched by the National Peace Corps Association. Goyal, 28, and a lawyer, was born on Long Island, NY, to Indian immigrants. He has raised more than $150,000 since 2001 for education, women’s empowerment, agro-tourism, and river protection projects in the rural hills of Nepal and is the founder of the HopeFor fundraiser series. Said Goyal, “Our success depends on how far we are willing to go. I’m asking not just returned Peace Corps volunteers in Minnesota but anyone inspired by the Peace Corps’ mission to contact me.”

 | Dodd vows to filibuster Surveillance Act
Senator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that helped this administration violate the civil liberties of Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the rule of law. These are fundamental, basic, eternal principles. They have been around, some of them, for as long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our country is at risk is abandon them." |
