To Make Health Care for All a Reality, Stop Killing People
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34904-to-make-health-care-for-all-a-reality-stop-killing-people
Maya Schenwar, Truthout: Many claim universal health care is impractical - that there's no money in the federal budget to pay for it. Right now, much of our tax money that could be funding health care for all is instead funneled toward institutions that kill instead of heal.

Have the Democratic Superdelegates Been Compromised?
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/34898-have-the-democratic-superdelegates-been-compromised
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: The Democratic Party needs to ban lobbyists from serving as unelected and unaccountable superdelegates.
