Getting Real on Jobs and the Environment: Pipelines, Fracking or Clean Energy?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11616-getting-real-on-jobs-and-the-environment-pipelines-fracking-or-clean-energy?
Robert Pollin, New Labor Forum: Politics has pushed the public and President Obama away from the green agenda and towards fossil fuels, but fracking and pipelines are not the answer to our nation's energy dilemmas. Green industry can still create good jobs.
Romney Calls 47 Percent of Voters 'Dependent' in Leaked Video
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11603-romney-calls-47-of-voters-dependent-in-leaked-video
Michael Barbaro and Michael D. Shear, New York Times: "During a private reception with wealthy donors this year, Mitt Romney described almost half of Americans as 'people who pay no income tax' and are 'dependent upon government.' Those voters, he said, would probably support President Obama because they believe they are 'victims' who are 'entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it.' Romney later backpedaled in a hastily-called press conference, saying his blunt assessment was 'not elegantly stated.'"
New York Times' Teacher Pay Comparisons Are Way Out of Line
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11592-new-york-times-teacher-pay-comparisons-are-way-out-of-line
Salvatore Babones, Truthout: "Chicago teachers' wages are the focus of a major political battle - not because their salaries are out of line in a legitimate comparison - but because people are playing politics with teachers' pay. So are Chicago teachers currently overpaid? One might argue that all American teachers are underpaid, and that Chicago teachers are just at the high end of a low range."
Fracking in Suburbia
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11604-fracking-in-suburbia
Andrew Spear and Mike Ludwig, Truthout: The oil and gas boom is not just impacting rural areas. In a suburb outside of Cleveland, Ohio, small fracking operations have drilled oil and gas wells in neighborhood backyards and next to schools. Truthout interviewed two concerned mothers who fear the neighborhood drilling is putting their families at risk.
Amy Goodman: It's One Person, One Vote; Not One Percent, One Vote
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11585-amy-goodman-its-one-person-one-vote-not-one-percent-one-vote
Amy Goodman, Truthout: In an excerpt from her book, "The Silent Majority," journalist and author Amy Goodman explores the impacts of billionaire political donors through the lens of the failed recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. With Citizens United looming in the background, the Walker recall pit billionaire donors and massive corporations against public unions and the working class.
Moyers: Katrina vanden Heuvel and Jamie Raskin on the Pro-Corporate Supreme Court
http://truth-out.org/video/item/11615-moyers-katrina-vanden-heuvel-and-jamie-raskin-on-the-pro-corporate-supreme-court
Bill Moyers, Bill Moyers & Co.: "Because of partisan gridlock in Washington, the Supreme Court has become the most powerful and outspoken branch of government - decisions they make shape our democracy's fate for generations to come. Now, one has only to look at Bush v. Gore, Citizens United and the Affordable Care Act rulings to understand why some call it a '1-percent court' - dedicated by majority rule to preserving the power and influence of a minority of wealthy special interests."
Terror and Teargas on the Streets of Bahrain: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (in the US at Least)
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11613-terror-and-teargas-on-the-streets-of-bahrain
Jen Marlowe, TomDispatch: "I was in that country for three weeks as a part of the Witness Bahrain initiative, a group of internationals seeking to document and expose human rights abuses perpetrated by the regime against protesters and activists. Aside from brief spurts of coverage, the crisis in Bahrain had largely been ignored by the US media."
Getting Healthy at Work: Who Do You Trust?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11600-getting-healthy-at-work-who-do-you-trust
Carl Finamore, Labor Notes: Programs promoting good health among workers have sparked a debate in unions. Designed to reduce employers' health care costs, wellness programs on the job site are enforced with penalties and, in some cases, even required. The striking Chicago teachers are facing the demands of such a program, and failing to participate could cost individual teachers $600 per year.
On the News With Thom Hartmann: Mitt Romney Says 47 Percent of Americans are Dependent on the Government, and More
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11621-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-mitt-romney-would-only-represent-half-the-nation-and-more
In today's On the News segment: Mitt Romney would only represent half the nation because he believes that 47 percent of the country will vote for President Obama because they are "dependent" on the government; Occupy Wall Street is back in action; and Shell Oil's plan to abandon arctic drilling proves environmental activism does work.
Life Without Parole Is Forever
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11611-life-without-parole-is-forever
Robert Wilbur, Truthout: Anti-death penalty advocates in California are pushing legislation that would replace the death penalty with life in prison, but some inmates would rather be put to death than spend the rest of their lives in prison without parole. Robert Wilber interviews forensic psychologist James L. Knoll about the cruel nature of life-long sentences and a crucial dilemma facing prison reformers.
