http://truth-out.org/news/item/18684-obamas-syrian-doomsday-machine

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/18686-another-view-of-the-capitol-where-jobs-are-top-priority
Isaiah J. Poole, Campaign for America's Future: With Congress now in the midst of a battle over the future of the economy that will come to a head this month, a quick trip to the neighborhood east of Washington - Capitol View - would be a sobering reminder of what's at stake.
This week in SpeakOut: Hip-hop artists Jasiri X and Tech 22 offer videos in support of the labor unions' and fast food workers' strikes, respectively; Dallas Darling offers a different analysis of Obama's decision to wait on Congress's approval in the Syrian crisis - explaining that his choice was a "challenge [to] a pathological disease in which presidents have unwisely and immorally used military power"; David Swanson explains how Obama's plan for a missile attack in Syria is in line with his drone warfare tactics; Dr. Roberto Rodriguez shares his petition to the National Hispanic Scholarship Fund demanding that they open their funds to DREAM students; "If we lie to our government it's a serious crime. Why isn't it an even more serious crime when our government lies to us?" writes Carmen Yarrusso as he addresses environmentalism in today's political sphere; and more.
