t r u t h o u t | As we enter into the thick of what will likely be the mos=
t moneyed campaign season in the history of this country, Truthout urgently=
needs your support. We're living in an era when money not only talks, but =
also often determines elections, as well as the policy decisions that rock =
our political landscape - and our lives. Noncommercial, ad-free news and an=
alysis are needed more than ever to expose the hypocrisy and put forth real=
solutions. In order to meet our budget and continue doing this work, we mu=
st raise $20,000 more. Can you help today by making a tax-deductible donati=
on?

Congressional Candidate Norman Solomon on What Makes a Healthy Progressive =
Ecosystem
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/8622-author-organizer-and-congressional-c=
andidate-norman-solomon-on-what-makes-a-healthy-progressive-ecosystem
Keane Bhatt, Truthout: "Norman Solomon, a longtime activist and media schol=
ar, first came under FBI scrutiny at the age of 14 for picketing a segregat=
ed apartment complex near his home in Maryland. In the following years, Sol=
omon campaigned against nuclear weapons and warfare, spending a total of 40=
days in jail for nonviolent civil disobedience. Currently, he has been eng=
aged in a competitive campaign to represent Northern California's District =
2 in the US House of Representatives."
Former ALEC Supporters Now Find Connection Toxic
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8649-former-alec-supporters-now-find-connect=
ion-toxic
Rebekah Wilce, PR Watch: "With thousands of consumers expressing their conc=
erns about the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) to corporations=
across America, even former supporters of ALEC are feeling the heat, and s=
ome are rushing to distance themselves from the organization. YUM! Brands (=
owners of KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut) became the 12th corporate member o=
f ALEC to announce it is leaving the organization yesterday =E2=80=A6 These=
companies have taken steps to make sure the public knows they are not curr=
ently supporting ALEC."
BP Blamed for Ongoing Health Problems
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8653-bp-blamed-for-ongoing-health-problems
Dahr Jamail, Al Jazeera English: "The 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled in=
to the Gulf last year was the largest accidental marine oil spill in histor=
y, affecting people living near the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alaba=
ma and Florida. Seemingly compounding the problem, BP has admitted to using=
at least 1.9 million gallons of toxic dispersants, which are banned by man=
y countries, including the UK. According to many scientists, these dispersa=
nts create an even more toxic substance when mixed with crude oil."
Tennessee House Passes Bill to Allow Criminal Prosecution for Harming Embry=
os
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8648-tennessee-house-passes-bill-to-allow-cr=
iminal-prosecution-for-harming-embryos
Amanda Peterson Beadle, ThinkProgress: "Tennessee has long had a law that a=
llowed prosecutors to charge someone for harming a 'viable fetus' - defined=
as about the 32nd week after conception - when someone kills or assaults a=
pregnant woman. Last year, lawmakers expanded that definition to apply to =
any fetus. Now, they're looking to criminalize harm to embryos, the cells t=
hat are formed before a fetus develops eight weeks after conception. The Te=
nnessee Senate is expected to vote on this measure today."
The Autism Epidemic and Disappearing Bees: A Common Denominator?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8586-the-autism-epidemic-and-disappearing-be=
es-a-common-denominator
Dr Brian Moench, Truthout: "On a recent front page of The Salt Lake Tribune=
, a frightening, oversized headline read, 'Highest rate in the nation, 1 in=
32 Utah boys has autism.' Less well publicized, another national story ran=
the same day: 'New pesticides linked to bee population collapse.' If you e=
at food and hope to do so a few years from now, this should be equally frig=
htening. A common denominator may underlie both stories."
The Link to Humanity - Gift Economies
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8650-the-link-to-humanity-gift-economies
Beverly Bell, Other Worlds: "All of Coumba Toure's work is aimed at keeping=
African values alive. As part of this, she is deeply involved in a women-l=
ed movement to keep the gift economy thriving. West African gifting is base=
d on the interrelated values that all humanity is linked and that one's wel=
l-being is only as strong as that of one's neighbor. Pro=EF=AC=81t and exch=
ange are trumped by a commitment to care for community."
ALEC Gets Support from Koch-Funded Americans for Prosperity
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8652-alec-gets-support-from-koch-funded-amer=
icans-for-prosperity
Brendan Fischer, PR Watch: "As the American Legislative Exchange Council (A=
LEC) comes under increasing scrutiny and both corporate and legislative mem=
bers sever ties with the organization, the Koch-funded Americans for Prospe=
rity (AFP) has jumped in to help=E2=80=A6. AFP is a member of ALEC, and bot=
h ALEC and AFP have received funding from the Koch family foundations. And,=
of course as is widely known, David Koch is the chairman of AFP, which he =
helped create."
New Bakken Shale Pipeline to Cushing, Oklahoma in the Works
http://truth-out.org/news/item/8651-new-bakken-shale-pipeline-to-cushing-ok=
lahoma-in-the-works
Steve Horn, DeSmog Blog: "The controversy over TransCanada's Keystone XL pi=
peline has raged on for years now, with no end in sight. Now, another key p=
ipeline proposal is in the works, one that would move unconventional oil an=
d gas obtained via the problematic hydraulic fracturing ('fracking') proces=
s in North Dakota's Bakken Shale basin southward to Cushing, where it would=
then be moved to Port Arthur and also placed on the global export market."
Can There Be "Good" Corporations?

Marjorie Kelly, Yes! Magazine: "Our economic system is profoundly broken. O=
ur approach to fixing the economy is broken as well=E2=80=A6. There is anot=
her approach. The alternatives emerging in our time represent an unsung own=
ership revolution. This revolution is about broadening economic power from =

Romney Strategy: Use Women to Woo a Certain Kind of Man
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/8655-romney-strategy-use-women-to-woo-a-c=
ertain-kind-of-man
Connie Schultz, Creators Syndicate: "What is increasingly apparent is Mitt =
Romney's strategy to rally his base of narrow-minded men who couldn't care =
less about women or, worse, blame us for all that is wrong with their lives=
. Rosen unwittingly gave him a perfect opportunity. Who wants to divide wom=
en against women? A campaign that doesn't care about women, that's who."
