Exposed: The Other ALECs' Corporate Playbook
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9889-exposed-the-other-alecs-corporate-playbook
Steve Horn and Sarah Blaskey, Truthout: "As it turns out, the answer is relatively simple. Big business in the United States has perfected a legislative 'playbook' - a methodical strategy for turning the wish list of multinational corporations into a state-level policy agenda with bipartisan support. The specific details of legislative processes are many and intricate, yet the corporate playbook for exploiting state-level policy is straightforward and critical to understand."
The World's 99% Knows Capitalism Is Failing and Believes That Change Is Possible
http://truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/9907-the-price-of-inequality-99
Joseph E. Stiglitz, W.W. Norton & Company, Inc.: "There are moments in history when people all over the world seem to rise up, to say that something is wrong, to ask for change. This is what happened in the tumultuous years 1848 and 1968. Each of these years of upheaval marked the beginning of a new era. The year 2011 may prove to be another such moment."
NATO 3 Indictment Shows Increased Terrorism Charges
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9917-nato-3-indictment-shows-increased-terrorism-charges
Yana Kunichoff, Truthout: "The case of the missing indictment for the three NATO protesters charged with terrorism has been solved by the group's lawyers, who discovered the documents at the Cook County Court clerk's office and released them Wednesday. Lawyers of the NATO 3 were initially denied access to the charges, which include material support for terrorism, possession of an incendiary device, conspiracy to commit terrorism, solicitation to commit arson, attempted arson and two counts of unlawful use of a weapon."
Senate Rejects Resolution to Repeal EPA's Air Pollution Standards
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9916-senate-rejects-resolution-to-repeal-epas-air-pollution-standards
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "The Senate voted 46-53 on Wednesday to reject a resolution to repeal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards aimed at reducing the amount of toxic pollution emitted from coal burning power plants."
President Correa, Please Protect Julian Assange From My Government
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9897-president-correa-please-protect-julian-assange-from-my-government
Robert Naiman, Truthout: "If the US government succeeds in prosecuting Assange under the Espionage Act for helping to disclose the WikiLeaks cables, it will likely intimidate future potential whistleblowers, making it harder to reveal important secrets about US foreign policy in the future and, therefore, making it harder to reform US foreign policy in the future. That's why I'm urging Ecuador's President Rafael Correa to grant Julian Assange's request for political asylum."
Paul Krugman | Welcome to the 1930s
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9908-welcome-to-the-1930s
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: "Martin Wolf is shrill (and rightly so). 'Before now, I had never really understood how the 1930s could happen,' the Financial Times columnist wrote ... 'Now I do. All one needs are fragile economies, a rigid monetary regime, intense debate over what must be done, widespread belief that suffering is good, myopic politicians, an inability to co-operate and failure to stay ahead of events.'"
Another View: The Myth of the Postal Service's Finances
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9906-another-view-the-myth-of-the-postal-services-finances
Robert Weiner and George Clingan, Des Moines Register: "The health of the Postal Service lies largely in the hands of Congress, which has made a tremendous accounting strategy error. In 2006, President George W. Bush signed the Postal Accountability Act that requires the agency for 10 years to pre-pay retiree pensions 75 years in advance ... The pre-payment strategy could bankrupt the post office as early as this year."
Is Barack Obama Morphing Into Dick Cheney?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9913-is-barack-obama-morphing-into-dick-cheney
Michael T. Klare, TomDispatch: "As recent events have demonstrated, Obama's energy policies globally bear an eerie likeness to Cheney's, especially in the way he has engaged in the geopolitics of oil as part of an American global struggle for future dominance among the major powers.
Hope Dies at Guantanamo
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9914-hope-dies-at-guantanamo
Marjorie Cohn, The Jurist: "Of the 800 men and boys held at Guantanamo since 2002, 169 remain. Of those prisoners, 87 have had their release approved by military review boards established during the Bush administration, and later by the Guantanamo Review Task Force established by President Obama in 2009. Yet they continue to languish in the prison camp."
Election Countdown 2012: Quebec Plagued by the Gangrenous Social Crisis of Law 78, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/9905-election-countdown-2012
In today's Election Countdown 2012 news: Social unrest continues in Quebec, the University of Virginia's leadership is still fighting itself on what do over the recent outing of its president, the voter purge continues in Florida, Colorado debates cannabis and fracking with equal political fervor, and more.
If High Court Upholds Arizona's SB 1070, Priests and Rabbis Could Be Prosecuted for Providing Humanitarian Aid
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9680-if-high-court-upholds-arizonas-sb-1070-priests-and-rabbis-could-be-prosecuted-for-providing-humanitarian-aid
Ediberto Roman and Sahar Aziz, Truthout: "On April 25, 2012, the US Supreme Court heard oral argument on legal challenges to Arizona's immigration law. Under SB 1070, police officers must determine an individual's immigration status during a lawful stop, which some have concluded is a recipe for racial profiling. Those found to be without proof of legal presence face arrest and state criminal charges."
