Henry A.

Ellen Brown, Web of Debt: December 23 marks the 100th anniversary of the Federal Reserve. Dissatisfaction with its track record has prompted calls to audit the Fed and end the Fed.

Brendan Fischer, PR Watch: Last week, recently released ALEC documents demonstrate that the group has recently lost around 60 corporate members, largely as a result of its role in facilitating corporate influence over state legislators and for pushing voter ID restrictions, climate change denial, and an array of other controversial, corporate-friendly bills.
