americans-want-legal-weed
Paul Armentano, Truthout: The majority of Americans - if not yet a majority=

es, impedes legitimate scientific research, engenders disrespect for the la=
w and disproportionately impacts communities of color.

The Myth of "Bipartisan Criminal Justice Reform": Mississippi Close-Up
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/27420-the-myth-of-bipartisan-criminal-ju=
stice-reform-mississippi-close-up
Nancy A. Heitzeg, Critical Mass Progress: Mississippi locks up more people =
per capita than China and Russia combined, and the state spends $389 millio=
n annually on corrections. On closer inspection, a "bipartisan" prison refo=
rm law passed earlier this year by the governor is not what it seems.

Conservatives Lie About Net Neutrality for Big Bucks
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/27442-conservatives-lie-about-net-neutral=
ity-for-big-bucks
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: When it comes to net neutra=
lity, conservatives are absolutely clueless. The only thing that President =
Obama's proposed net neutrality plan does is prevent internet service provi=
ders like Comcast from blocking or slowing down websites that Comcast doesn=
't like or that are owned by rival companies.

The Working Families Party Must Go
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/27427-the-working-families-party-must-go
Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report: It is time to admit that leftists =
have no influence in the Democratic Party. The re-election of Gov. 1% Cuomo=
(with the endorsement of the Working Families Party) in New York shows tha=
t third parties aren't spoilers; it is the Democrats who do that all by the=
