It serves as a “check and a balance” to our elected and non-elected leaders and informs the public of news for the greater good. But what if that was compromised by a corporate power grab?That's exactly what the panel “Should the Koch Brothers Own The Tribune Newspapers?” will examine next Wednesday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C…

The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on authorities to halt their harassment of the press. “The heart of Turkey has become an epicenter of official violence and obstruction of the press,” CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. “If the government of Prime Minister Erdogan is genuine about its democratic commitments, it must allow journalists–both foreign and domestic–to report freely on the ongoing news events in the country.” RELATED: http://en.rsf.org/turquie-mounting-police-violence-against-17-06-2013,44808.html
- #union #iww #occupy #ows #p2 #p21 #tlot #tcot #TeaParty I Saw the Secret Trade Deal http://alangraysonemails.tumblr.com/post/53325968066/i-saw-the-secret-trade-deal For No Real Reason. You spoke, they listened. Last month, 10,000 of us submitted comments to the United States Trade Representative (USTR), in which we objected to new so-called free trade agreements. We asked that the government not sell out our democracy to corporate interests. Because of this pressure, the USTR finally let a member of Congress – little ole me, Alan Grayson – actually see the text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The TPP is a large, secret trade agreement that is being negotiated with many countries in East Asia and South America. The TPP is nicknamed “NAFTA on steroids.” Now that I’ve read it, I can see why. I can’t tell you what’s in the agreement, because the U.S. Trade Representative calls it classified. But I can tell you two things about it. 1) There is no national security purpose in keeping this text secret. 2) This agreement hands the sovereignty of…

FEC (2010). Leaders from state and national organizations applauded the efforts of these US Senators as well as other members of the 113th Congress who are responding to the will of the American people by introducing and co-sponsoring amendments to the US Constitution. The group includes leaders from the 15 state across the country that have already passed resolutions or initiatives putting their states on record calling for an amendment to overturn Citizens United and related cases. “We applaud the leadership of Senator Tom Udall and others in Congress who understand that we must now amend the US Constitution to undo the Supreme Court’s…

I would be less than truthful if I told you I wasn't disappointed. But my campaign experience also opened my eyes to new possibilities for organized labor to take a more active role in our democracy.Here’s why more labor union leaders should run for office.1) Put a face on organized labor. As a 35-year member of theInternational Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and the former seven-term elected Business Manager of IATSE Local 16, my roots in labor run deep. I have been a member of the San Francisco Labor Council executive board since 1994 and am involved with various labor organizations…
