Pacific Northwest/USA (June 21, 2012) -- There are thousands of music videos, but none quite like "Murder 2012." This new video by Word-Soul Artist LadyBoss-Amanishakhete (A-ma-ni-sha-kete) depicts a message that racism is escalating in the twenty-first century. Underreported in mainstream media, hate groups have tripled in the past three years, are increasingly dangerous and use high profile blacks - such as President Obama and Trayvon Martin - to heighten their hate messaging.

Both Obama and Martin are featured in the video, including Aaron Campbell, an unarmed mentally ill black man who was gunned downed by police in Portland, Oregon. The Aaron Campbell case gained national attention because the police officer, who was fired because of the unjustified shooting, is being reinstated to active duty.

"Times are dangerous for especially people-of-color," warns LadyBoss-Amanishakhete. "There is a clear attack on our civil rights."

Unlike her first album, Epiphany of Lady, which introduced her as an introspective and spiritual artist, in "Murder 2012", LadyBoss is hard-hitting. The soundtrack's powerful mix of symbolic lyrics also demonstrate an artist who remains true to her style - Word-Soul - a vocal sound LadyBoss created and defines as: a balance between spokenword, rap and hip hop with emphasis on a message that is underscored by jammin' music!

Since the release of "Murder 2012", LadyBoss' fans have grown to include people who live in the Netherlands, United Kingdom and Israel.

"Music with a message can bring people together," says LadyBoss. "Murder 2012 resonates with people who want hate and discrimination to end."

LadyBoss-Amanishakhete teamed with Portland hip-hop artist Anuff, who composed the music for "Murder 2012". To support this indie artist, music enthusiasts can download the song from cdbaby, whotune.com, Amazon MP3, iTunes and other online retailers. The video is produced by Perception Media in Portland, Oregon.

Across the country, something is missing from the campaign ads of men and women running for Congress: the word "Congress."

Likewise, "Senate," "senator" and "representative" are making only rare cameos in these campaign ads. The absence is especially pronounced in the case of incumbents who are asking voters to re-elect them in November.

"How do you go from working in a family seed business in Iowa to fighting for Iowans at the highest levels?" a narrator intones in an ad for Rep. Tom Latham, R-Iowa.

The highest levels of what, exactly? The ad notes that Latham took "Iowa common sense" to Washington and voted against the stimulus package but never exactly spells out that he has served at the highest levels of the U.S. government in Congress since 1995.

There are years when incumbents can tout their experience and legislative achievements as they seek re-election. This is not one those years, as the approval ratings of the gridlocked Congress have begun to approach the popularity of pond scum among an increasingly disenchanted electorate.

The result is that consultants and strategists who run congressional campaigns appear to be employing some artful ad copy to avoid mentioning that their candidates are members of Congress. "They don't use their title. They don't refer to their years of service. They don't show pictures of themselves in committee meetings," said Stuart Rothenberg, a nonpartisan congressional analyst, explaining the incumbent-as-outsider strategy. "They have to acknowledge the anger, the frustration. They've got to run as agents of change," he said.

Rep. Rick Berg, R-N.D., who is running for the Senate, appeared in a campaign ad earlier this year with his mother, Francie.

"I want to tell you about my son, Rick Berg," she said, seated at a kitchen table next to him. She said that he had grown up on a farm, working cattle, bailing hay and learning the value of a dollar. She vouched for his knowledge of "the North Dakota way."

She declined to mention that he also knows at least something about the Washington way, having served as North Dakota's only member of Congress since 2011.

Campaign officials generally deny that their candidates are ducking the congressional label, and it is hard to deny or obscure membership in that body. But after more than a year of bitter disputes on Capitol Hill a handful of near-government shutdowns, a showdown over raising the nation's legal borrowing limit last summer, the utter failure of a special deficit reduction "supercommittee" it's clear that this year, even the incumbents are running as outsiders who will shake the place up. Although this is not an entirely new strategy, more incumbents may be forced to embrace it, given the political climate.

Louisiana state rep. Jeff Thompson sponsored a new law requiring sex offenders to list their status on social media sites.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- A new Louisiana law requires sex offenders and child predators to state their criminal status on their Facebook or other social networking page, with the law's author saying the bill is the first of its kind in the nation.

State Rep. Jeff Thompson, a Republican from Bossier City, Louisiana, says his new law, effective August 1, will stand up to constitutional challenge because it expands sex offender registration requirements, common in many states, to include a disclosure on the convicted criminal's social networking sites as well.

Thompson, an attorney and a father of a 13-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son, said he hopes other states will follow Louisiana.

Social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace have been removing sex offenders from their web pages for years, but Thompson said the law is designed to cover any possible lapses by social networking sites.

"I don't want to leave in the hands of social network or Facebook administrators, 'Gee, I hope someone is telling the truth,'" Thompson said Tuesday. "This is another tool for prosecutors."

The new law, signed by Gov. Bobby Jindal earlier this month, builds upon existing sex offender registration laws, in which the offender must notify immediate neighbors and a school district of his or her residency near them, Thompson said.

The law states that sex offenders and child predators "shall include in his profile for the networking website an indication that he is a sex offender or child predator and shall include notice of the crime for which he was convicted, the jurisdiction of conviction, a description of his physical characteristics... and his residential address."

Several states now require sex offenders and child predators to register with authorities their e-mail accounts, Internet addresses or profile names to social network and other web sites, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. A few states such as Illinois and Texas even outright prohibit sex offenders, as a condition of parole, from accessing social networking websites, the group said.
