And once again, Attorney General Eric Holder, who admitted early this year some banks are too big to prosecute, will be the target. Protesters gathered at Freedom Plaza at 11 a.m. Wednesday to march on Covington & Burling LLP, a law firm where Holder was once a partner. The firm, located at 1201 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, represents or has represented major banks including Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase. A spokesman for the protesters said they plan to take over the building's…

That reflects an enormous step toward healing an injustice, the deportation crisis that has wrecked families, communities and workplaces for far too long. T…

Kris Faafoi was in New Plymouth yesterday and he echoed the concerns raised by one of the region's top police officers, Grant Coward, who retired last month. In April the Taranaki Daily News revealed that more than a dozen Taranaki officers, some with more than 20 years' experience, had left or were leaving. Mr Faafoi said the latest Ten One police magazine showed more than 50 sworn officers had resigned around the country in the past month. “It's the sheer number and the experience of these officers that's of concern,…

- #union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty The Direct Voting System http://thegaiandragon.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-direct-voting-system.html A flaw inherent in all forms of representational government, whether in a democracy or in a constitutional republic, lies in the fact that representatives can be corrupted. Now while in theory a people may be said to own their government, in practice it is otherwise, unless the general public asserts its authority and control of that government with a direct vote on all legislation. Consider the situation in America in 2008. In order to get elected to high public office, a politician must amass huge amounts of money, (mostly for television advertising), in order to successfully run a political campaign in an election. Such money is only ea…
- #union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty Tesla Motors fully repays $465 million federal loan nine years early http://www.mercurynews.com/business/ci_23300602/tesla-motors-fully-repays-465-million-federal-loan In a huge boost for the Obama Administration and clean-energy firms, electric vehicle maker Tesla Motors (TSLA) announced Wednesday that it has paid back its $465 million government loan in full and nine years early. The Department of Energy oversees $34 billion in taxpayer-funded loans for clean energy and other projects, but Tesla is the only United States car company in the vast portfolio of 33 projects to pay back its loan so far. The loan program faced fierce partisan fire in the wake of the high-profile 2011 bankruptcy of Fremont solar manufacturer Solyndra, and Republican presidential candi…

Rick Scott's re-election campaign, an upstart property insurance company is likely to reap a $52 million windfall, paid from the coffers of Citizens Property Insurance Corp. Here's the deal. Citizens Property Insurance Corp. is a state-run Florida insurance company. Because Florida has hit a lucky streak over the last years and not had as much hurricane damage as they had feared, they're sitting on a cash surplus of $6…

But the movement for corporate accountability lives on. As JPMorgan Chase’s annual shareholder meeting ended on Tuesday, the conveners played Bruce Hornsby’s song “The Way It Is.” The celebratory DJ-ing came after shareholders voted down a proposal that would separate the role of the Board’s Chairman from that of the CEO; Jamie Dimon currently fills both roles. JPMorgan, who have been so successful in their fight to escape any accountability from regulators, has now also triumphed over the “threat” of an independent board chair more acco…
