Supreme Court Decision Gives Juvenile Lifers and Their Families New Hope
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34616-supreme-court-decision-gives-juvenile-lifers-and-their-families-new-hope
Victoria Law, Truthout: Family members of people incarcerated as juveniles share their hopes following a Supreme Court ruling, which invites prisoners sentenced as juveniles to life without parole to apply for retroactive resentencing, a move which may permit thousands the possibility of eventually coming home.
Let's Ask Obama to Give This Speech Next
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34614-let-s-ask-obama-to-give-this-speech-next
Bill Moyers, Moyers & Company: Despite President Obama's own apostasy, he has spoken eloquently over the years against our campaign finance system. Unfortunately, he has done nothing about it. He's gone AWOL in our biggest battle for democracy. It's time for him to make federal contractors disclose their political spending.

Santiago Navarro F. and Renata Bessi, Truthout: The production of electricity from wind power in Mexico's Tehuantepec Isthmus region is seen by the government, developers and industry as a win-win development model.

Conservative National Groups Battle in the States Over Constitution Redo
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34613-conservative-national-groups-battle-in-the-states-over-constitution-redo
Ashley Balcerzak, The Center for Public Integrity: Some 27 states are calling for a convention on a balanced budget amendment, which would force the federal government to pass budgets that don't enlarge the national debt. This means that theoretically just seven more have to act for a constitutional convention to be called.

Sarah van Gelder, YES! Magazine: Concerns about a precious aquifer led members of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa to act quickly when they learned their region was next in line for fracking. Within just a few weeks of tribal women meeting on the topic, the council banned fracking.

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34617-how-friedrichs-could-actually-unleash-unions-from-decades-of-free-speech-restrictions
Shaun Richman, In These Times: The anti-union Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association case currently under consideration by the Supreme Court could actually lay the groundwork for making public employee strikes in New York and elsewhere constitutionally protected free speech. How is a strike not a constitutionally protected exercise of free speech?
