Slavery in America today- where are the Republicans?

Dear friends,

Less than a week ago, 9/2/08, in the state of Florida, five men pleaded guilty to: "numerous charges of enslaving Mexican and Guatemalan immigrants, brutalizing them and forcing them to work in farm fields." We have been hearing about slavery in Africa, but it is right here in our own presence. Moreover, where are all of the journalists of the New York Times, and other media outlets, who have been hollering about Darfur? Where is "fair and balanced" Fox News?

At any rate, the link below tells the story. Amd, by the wsy, what are McCain's and Palin's take on this horror? Florida, after all, is a longtime Republican stronghold. Is slavery happening in Alaska too?
