From Memphis to Madison: Civil Rights, Labor Rights, Voting Rights | The Nation
"Jackson could have gone anywhere on the forty-third anniversary of King’s assassination.
But he chose to be in Wisconsin, where workers are still protesting Walker’s agenda and preparing to head to the polls Tuesday for elections—especially a hard-fought Supreme Court contest between a justice who has long been allied with the governor (David Prosser) and a challenger who is backed by Walker’s critics (JoAnne Kloppenburg)—that will send the first signal about the electoral power of the new worker-rights movements that have erupted in states across the country.
For Jackson, the issues in play in Wisconsin made it precisely the right place to remember Dr. King and to carry the civil rights leader’s activism forward."

Wisconsin university fights back against intimidation effort

"...the university has excluded all “intellectual communications among scholars.” Scholars, [legal counsel John] Dowling explains, need privacy to exchange and develop their ideas, “without fear of reprisal for controversial findings and without the premature disclosure of those ideas.”"

""The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 910, which would halt the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) common-sense steps under the Clean Air Act (CAA) to protect Americans from harmful air pollution," the White House said in a statement. "H.R. 910 would also increase the Nation's dependence on oil and other fossil fuels as well as contradict the scientific consensus on climate change."
ThinkProgress » Paul Ryan Does Wall Street’s Bidding In Budget
View Full Article Here
Posted on Twitter by: ThinkProgress thinkprogress
How Paul Ryan's budget is a huge gift for Wall Street
"But it also includes a gift for Wall Street, in the form of a repeal of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law that protect taxpayers from having to bail out failed financial institutions. Here’s how the House Republicans framed their repeal effort:
Although the bill is dubbed “Wall Street Reform,” it actually intensifies the problem of too-big-to-fail by giving large, interconnected financial institutions advantages that small firms will not enjoy. While the authors of Dodd-Frank went to great lengths to denounce bailouts, this law only sustains them."

Who Owns The News? Media Ownership By Corporations.
www.whoownsthenews.com
Who really owns the news media? Media consolidation has allowed corporations to own all the news we watch. CNN, ABC, Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, All Controlled by The Council On Foreign Relations.
"Major multinational corporations, Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds and Saudi Princes, all hell bent on protecting their own interests, choose what you will see on the nightly news and trick you into believing it is unbiased reporting. As we see below all the major news outlets, regardless of what they make you believe, contributed heavily to George W. Bush in both 2000 and 2004 so any argument that they are controlled by liberals evaporates. In this case they all supported the candidate that promised to allow consolidation of multiple media companies.
The very news stories that you are fed by the mainstream media are manipulated to mirror the public relations campaigns of companies that operate nuclear plants, sprawling theme parks that gobble up wetlands, defense contractors, oil companies and even Saudi Princes. Remember the old "Outer Limits" TV shows where the announcer says "We control everything you see and hear, the vertical, the horizontal," etc? The corporate controlled news media controls all you see and hear."

I say vote "No" to Walker being an influential person, sure his presence has influenced life in Wisconsin, but never in the way he intends. A true influential person should be in control of their influence. Just f***ing up in a massive way that influences a lot of people doesn't mean HE is influantial. What are your thoughts?
