Mary Green Swig, Steven L.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32196-voting-should-not-be-a-wedge-issue
Victoria Bassetti, Brennan Center for Justice: The last thing we need is to inject more partisanship into voting. Let the Republican and Democratic parties define themselves and rally their bases, but not by hardening partisan positions on voting. It should not be a wedge issue.
Chris Matthews Is a Shill for the Insider Machine
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32198-chris-matthews-is-a-shill-for-the-insider-machine
