The poor have no voice |

I The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The

have benefited most from the federal debt, corporate
restructurings and plant relocations, are the people charged
with representing the poor. Can they adequately represent

African Americans, we don't mind hearing the phrase,
"Let my people go," when it's referring to Pharaoh's
