Over 750,000 Pennsylvanians Could Be Disenfranchised by Voter ID Law
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10165-over-750000-pennsylvanians-could-be-di=

Alex Brown, ThinkProgress: "Instances of voter fraud may be rarer than ligh=
tning strikes, but in Pennsylvania more than 758,000 voters may be disenfra=
nchised this election season because lawmakers insist on solving the 'probl=

for the first time this November, may prevent 758,939 otherwise eligible v=

Economics for the 99%

The Center for Popular Economics, Truthout: "The Center for Popular Economi=
cs of Amherst, Massachusetts, has released a new booklet, 'Economics for th=
e 99%,' about the questions raised by the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement=
. That movement has brought about a remarkable change in public consciousne=

cians or mainstream media discuss problems of growing poverty or income ine=

and it shifted the public conversation. It gave all of us new ways to talk =

Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: "Commemorations are being held across the coun=

our Land,' 'Pastures of Plenty,' 'Pretty Boy Floyd,' 'Do Re Mi' and 'The Ra=
nger's Command.' While Guthrie is best remembered as a musician, he also ha=
d a deeply political side. At the height of McCarthyism, Guthrie spoke out =
for labor and civil rights and against fascism. In this one-hour special, y=
ou will hear interviews and music from folk singer Pete Seeger, the British=
musician Billy Bragg, and the historian Will Kaufman, author of the new bo=
ok, 'Woody Guthrie, American Radical.'"
