http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29654-scott-walker-ends-freedom-of-contract-in-wisconsin
Dean Baker, Truthout: There is nothing about workers' "right to work" in this bill. Scott Walker and his backers could not give a damn about workers' rights. This is a bill about taking away workers' freedom of contract in a way that will weaken their bargaining.

http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/29597-us-foreign-policy-and-national-security-a-case-study-for-projection
Ken Peeples, Truthout: The crux of US exceptionalism is that the United States has rights and privileges other nations do not.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/29661-troika-tightens-the-noose-on-greece-as-government-cash-crunch-worsens
Yves Smith, Naked Capitalism: The problem for Syriza is likely to be not the fact that Greece will suffer more if it continues to defy the Troika and Eurogroup, but that the ruling coalition will be perceived as less than competent in reacting to adverse developments.

http://truth-out.org/news/item/29659-new-voting-laws-show-that-the-struggle-continues

In the first few weeks of this year, legislation was introduced in 17 states and progressed in two. All this points to an urgent and continuing need for strong legal protections for voting rights.
