CBS's Early Show Trumpets Past Spats Between Republican Candidates, Liberal ...

[Video below the break.]

Springsteen, in a 2009  Early Show interview, lashed out at the Reagan campaign, saying they "co-opted" his song and "misinterpreted" it. Rolling Stone editor Christian Hoard called the whole spat "hilarious," and said the Reagan campaign "missed the point" on Springsteen's hit "Born In the USA" in using it to fire up campaign rallies. CRAWFORD: Songwriters Milton Ager and Jack Yellen had to be happy when Franklin Roosevelt adopted their 1929 hit "Happy Days Are Here Again" for his '32 presidential campaign. 80 years later, the song is still the unofficial anthem of the Democratic Party. But that may be the last time that candidates and composers have made beautiful music together. CRAWFORD: Just last week, Tea Party favorite and GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann pumped up the crowd with liberal rocker Tom Petty's "American Girl." Apparently, Bachmann doesn't quite fit Petty's vision of that girl. He quickly had his lawyers issue a "Cease and Desist" notice, demanding the Bachmann camp never trumpet his song again. CHRISTIAN HOARD, senior editor, Rolling Stone: The Reagan thing was kind of hilarious. Because, you know, Born In the USA is a actually not as – it's actually not as triumphant a song as it might sound like. It's sort of a bittersweet tale of a Vietnam vet who's really kind of got disillusioned and struggled to find his way, and so, you know, I think Reagan kind of missed the point on that song. CRAWFORD: The last time the candidate and campaign theme really clicked may have been in 1992, when Bill Clinton relentlessly pushed the Fleetwood Mac message "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow." Petty's music was also preyed on during the 2000 campaign when George W. Bush blasted the Heartbreakers' "I Won't Back Down" at rallies. One letter to Bush's lawyers, and he did.

Always complain, even if there is no hard proof. The companies may not tell you on your face that they do not hire EADs. But the hiring manager or recruiter must be acting on a policy made elsewhere in the company, directed by some higher-up officials. It will be written somewhere. In that case, OSC can ask for archived e-mails, and phone conversations for a record of discrimination. If discrimination is proved, company is liable for fines, and the higher-up official is sacked. If there is no official communication, the company can claim that the hiring manager or recruiter is acting on his/her own and it is not the company policy. Then the hiring manager or recruiter is fired and the company pledges to enforce the rules strictly. Always a positive outcome for us. We understand how frustrating this is for you. We received a response to our inquiry with the consulate. It seems the application is being kept pending for additional administrative processing. The stated reason for the review falls within the law under Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Under these circumstances, we typically see that the government issues a notice to the applicant wherein additional information is often requested. Kindly advise if you have received any notification from the consulate on this issue. I am sorry and can understand how frustrating this would be for you. But you keep your spirits high. Can you ask your lawyer to contact DOS himself and inquire about your case? Once he has some information, he can communicate with the consulate here in India directly. I am not sure if you can do much here. I am wondering if there is anyway for you to contact VO instead of VFS ppl. "Anti-Discrimination Notice. It is illegal to discriminate against any individual (other than an alien not authorized to work in the U.S.) in hiring, discharging, or recruiting or referring for a fee because of that individual's national origin or citizenship status. It is illegal to discriminate against work eligible individuals. Employers CANNOT specify which document(s) they will accept from an employee. The refusal to hire an individual because the documents presented have a future expiration date may also constitute illegal discrimination." I filed for my own renewal about 90 days before the expiration date and when about 85 days had passed and I was getting worried, I called USCIS and was told: " Do you need the card to show your employer that you are legal? No?
