How many US prisoners (US citizens held in state or federal cages) are designated as terrorists or enemies of the state? Would also be interested in looking at this over, say, the last fifty years; as even folks with these designations sometimes get out.

QUESTION: switching political parties in nyc

question / pregunta: 

I was just looking at new york city election laws. I am registered to vote, but am not registered in any political party. I was thinking of switching to be a democrat for this election so I could vote in the primary.

From what I read on the Board of Elections site ( http://www.vote.nyc.ny.us/register.html )"You cannot CHANGE your enrollment and vote in the NEW PARTY of your choice in the same year."

I take that to mean that even if I was to switch party affiliation now, I can't vote in the upcoming primary. I would have to wait until next year's primary to vote.

This got me thinking. My main questions is this: How far ahead of the rebublican primary did Bloomberg change his party affiliation?

Is it really the case that I could change affiliation and run in the primary but I'm barred from voting in the primary?

My secondary questions are in how this relates to other places rules on primaries and has an issue like this, a restriction on voting in a municipal primary, ever been resolved in the courts?

QUESTION: Indiginist anarchism

question / pregunta: 

Do you know of any good books on Indiginist Anarchism?

QUESTION: Social & community impacts of the global economic/financial crisis on low income communities/people of color in the US

question / pregunta: 

Hello:

We're looking for resources on the social and community impacts of the "global economic and financial crisis" on low income communities and people of color in the United States. Can you recommend sources for statistical data, trends and anecdotal information? Thank you.

QUESTION: Anarchist business models

question / pregunta: 

An anarchist friend of mine has started a business and could use some anarchist friendly business models to get things off the ground.

The type of model I'm thinking of would involve allowing employees to buy in, etc. Any other information or sources you could point me to would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
