It is important to enumerate that this program no longer will tolerate nor allow for any kind of advocating policies relating to redistricting. to class action lawsuits. to influencing action on legislation. constitutional amendment. referendum or similar procedures of the Congress. State. or local legislative bodies. No legal assistance to illegal aliens. no supporting conducting of training programs related to political activity. no abortion litigation. no prisoner litigation. no welfare reform litigation except to represent individuals on particular matters that do not involve changing existing laws. no representing individuals evicted from public housing due to the sale of drugs. no accepting employment as a result of giving unsolicited advice to nonattorneys. and nonLSC funds used to provide legal services by grantees may not be used for the purposes prohibited by the act. as was outlined in the changes made in 1976. I think it is critically important to understand that we need this safety net. we need to provide for the poor among us so that they have the same legal rights as many other Americans. and these people do not have the funds available to protect themselves. They do not fall within certain categories that would allow them the kind of representation that others could expect. and I think it is important that with these important changes. with cleaning up the program. that we allow this program to go forward.
